Fuzzing is awesome. I just discovered an accidental O(2^n) code path in my project with fuzzing and fixed it: https://github.com/elves/elvish/commit/9cda3f643efafce2df567... Edit: shortly after I wrote this c

Not everything is worth learning for everyone, especially when it's just something arbitrary people need to remember. If I invent a crazy unit system for measuring distances, where a "finger" is 8.3 centimeters and a "st

Java programs are slow to start because of all the JVM overheads, but after that the performance is probably between 1x and 2x as slow as C (it depends a lot on the workload, of course). Java is definitely not a slow language in general, ju

This test will inflate the test coverage, but it is a valid smoke test (assuming that any unhandled exception will cause the test to fail).

The author seems confused. The following is simply not true: When you take a pointer to a slice, you get a pointer to the current version of this tuple of information for the slice. This pointer may or may not refer to a slice that an

Different legal opinions and Samsung being more risk-averse I guess? However reading the article about SONY ( https://www.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-android-pie-unloc... ), DRM keys seems to be a more likely cause...

IIUC, cables are not subject to LLU in the UK (Virgin Media being the only cable ISP) but fibres are. Competition from fibre probably keeps cable Internet price reasonable enough.

I guess you are from the US? Local loop unbundling [1] is a regulatory method to "utility-ize" ISPs by forcing the infrastructure owner (usually big telco companies) to allow competitors to use the infrastructure. Here in UK LLU s
