With jitting runtimes like V8 often the root cause of the exploit is a logical error in code generation that leads to the sandboxed code to get a read/write gadget into memory outside the sandbox. Rewriting the jit in Rust might hel

There's no organized effort to roll out ReactOS as a first party supported OS on real hardware. I could imagine a future where the EU funds its development to break away from foreign-owned OSes but that's a long shot and they&#x2

It's conjectured that this is due to Bitcoin's subsidy halving schedule, which is every 210000 blocks or ~4 years. The reasoning is that the supply shock trends prices upwards and the rest of the market tracks Bitcoin due to many

Mastodon doesn't seek to do anything. Instance operators decide their own policies and users are free to join instances that follow policies they agree with.

Mastodon/Fedi doesn't need Threads to "save" it. I'm curious about the rationale behind this framing. It's growing well on its own, without some giant corporate backer. Many instances have already pledged to

Now try building a chess site to store millions of games with hundreds of millions of game states to search over. It's nice that you can very cheaply fit a board into a fixed size column on a database and store the entire game history
