The ROCm compilers are slightly different, the newest GCN arch is probably not well tested for compute yet. The ROCm stack's development and testing effort strongly focuses on their 'pro/server' line cards. Is there a N

Not always. Cache speculation bugs for example I dont think are covered by emulations. (At least not explicitly. If the mmu model is the same and transparent enough I suppose those could 'pass through' but only if they're imp

This very much reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Ringbearer which will shamefully probably never see an English print release. It's an interesting work of research and writing.

I use this behavior in production systems where I have 'well-known' RFC1918 addresses I use for service bootstrapping/configuration. In the network engineering world, extra loopback interfaces are also used for similar reaso

Two Ideas: 1. Does encouraging ORCHID addresses reduce the impact of enumeration attacks? 2. Linux at least has controllable behavior for cross-interface IP reachability, in arp_filter/arp_announce/arp_ignore per interface sysctls

I've worked at at least one company where we found using Direct Connect to a data center somewhere and egressing via that data center instead of amazon saved us significant bandwidth costs.

If the article had more journalism and less interview-bites from conference workers and maybe more then a generic overview, I'd agree with you. As it is, IMO this article seems like more filler, than anything else.

Zookeeper has implemented dynamic reconfiguration since circa 2013-2015ish, but it required support for the feature in clients, as well as servers. That said, implementing an autoscaler that manages that as well was not trivial, in my expe

You make a good point. The design is costly and bad, I hope I wasn't arguing to retain it for historical reasons or anything like that. I do believe that the history of how PGP got there, and how its ecosystem became the sort of hydr

Signal does a great job of supporting activists. That's basically its intentional product focus. Everything an open source proponent engineer might want to promote is secondary. The focus on activism and trying to deal with large acto

Thats because most of the ElasticSearch data model is materialized indexes. You need to reindex (or use one of the other ops which amounts to building a composite index) to create different aggregates. Otherwise you need to use constructed

On a modern OS (like anything in the last 25-odd years that has demand paging) that code isn't even loaded into RAM before it's used in many situations. While that is an additional load if you deal with those formats, the root of

With an amazing team, I'm helping run a fleet of a few hundredish pi3/3b+ and hundreds of pizero-W cameras in an evolving automotive IoT solution. It's definitely been a challenge using them in volume, but they've been s

The kexec paradigm makes this execution vector rather more useful than most people realize. It's also what powers inline kernel crash dumps.

SE tax is the employer share, and its a bit complicated. As a 1099, you are required to pay the full SE tax generally minus (a couple?) deductions. But then, you are allowed to deduct half of what you pay in SE tax from your income for

HSAIL depends on an ecosystem of non-free software components. Granted, it's an uphill battle to get the concert of moving pieces that would be needed for 3d/compute acceleration cards to work on a fully open source stack. That sa

The article does a poor job of explaining the threat model, but I think you hit on the exact problem here. OOB baseboard management should not have direct access to other OOB management nodes, lest you invite that as an attack vector. Unfo

Similar to what linuxftw notes, when Docker hit the scene it was basically competing with the likes of Heroku where you have a few common runtime containers on a shared runtime system. When trying to implement one of those you want to maxim

I would argue that the billions of dollars needing to be spent on education is indicative of just how badly underfunded education is in society. You see knock-on positive and negative effects of that at basically every level of analysis an
