Have fun debugging arithmetic difference resulting from spilling an intermediate result to memory and rounding to 64bit value vs. not spilling and keeping the intermediate value as 80 bits.

Many sites have a simple requirement of "allow user to upload a jpeg, resize it to create user profile pic for the user". No need to support anything but the most common formats for this, but you need security and you need speed o

Does Pillow have good security tests like fuzzing? Is it safe to pass arbitrary user input (file upload) to Pillow and Pillow-SIMD?

Imagine all GPL software required the licensee to never enforce API copyright, and if they ever enforced API copyright (over unrelated code), their license to the GPL code was null and void. Then Oracle can't run Linux.

MySQL is the PHP of relational databases. You can do most things with it, but you don't choose it when you have the option to choose something better.

The price of the Model 3 relies on using economies of scale to make it cheaper to manufacture. But the saving are projected, not guaranteed. Also, they need to make many more of them per year, which is not trivial.

Fossil-fuel power plants that charge a Tesla pollute quite a bit, so you need to switch to electric vehicles and non-polluting energy generation to fix air pollution.

I think code execution by insecure deserialization is the big Java security problem now, though I'm neither a security guy nor a Java guy.

The unverified components were steel rods. SpaceX manufacture most of the complicated parts, but they buy nuts and bolts. Also, the steel rods were checked, but only statistically, not each one. 1 in more than a thousand failed at 5 times l

Especially with level 22 with --ultra, I found the compression to be good and decompression very fast. Can't wait for 1.0 for format freeze (currently decompressor contains code for previous versions, but that's a hack).

RSA is not used to encrypt large messages. Symmetric ciphers are used for this. With classic RSA, the secret key for the symmetric cipher is encrypted using RSA. Often (e.g. in the Signal protocol), a short secret key is extended using a HK

Ah. Well, YouTube has a paid service and I guess they're fighting the codec monopoly.

You get accelerated H264 in Chrome which you paid for (through Apple), but YouTube prefer to serve vp9 if you can decode it, to save their own licensing fees. MS Edge only reports being able to decode vp9 if you have hardware acceleration f

Without multipart upload, you can't resume uploads. Even with moderate sized files that's a bummer.

GCC changed their system for numbering versions with version 5. GCC 4.9.X [1] was the stable branch first released on 2014-04-22 with latest patch 4.9.4 released on 2015-06-26. GCC 5.X is the next stable branch first released exactly a year

The last GPLv2 GCC is 4.2.1. OpenBSD has 4.9.3 (they also have 4.2.1 and 3.3.6). Why not 5.3? Why was clang updated post 5.9? How long do they take to stabilize a release?

But unaligned load is very important to a lot of code like LZ compression.

That appears to not fully interoperate with regular TLS implementations, and does not require the use of the most popular secure ciphersuite ECDHE_RSA_AESGCM. If they need to make changes to make it secure, define an extension and say this
