I don't think this dichotomy is a thing. But there are many examples of companies being active in societal issues and doing well. Eg http://www.tradeready.ca/2018/topics/supply-chain-management...

A lot of sizable organisations are committed to eliminate all carbon emissions. Yes it's rarely done by starving organisations and people, that doesn't mean others shouldn't do it.

I think the intersection of conigurations where QEMU is using the SLiRP networking and where it's carefully configured to use the (non-default) sandboxing is pretty small. The sandboxing configs are typically associated with use of lib

Motorola's software updates for their phones are quite bad, they lag when the phone is new and they stop completely way too soon. For Android hobbyists the unlocked bootloader may be fun, but there is no low-maintainance (timely and re

Worthwhileness would depend on your motivation for doing it. I guess a very tiny microcontroller could be a use case, where it's a good tradeoff to save some memory (=cost) by eliding the JIT even if execution is slow. Even then you co

When someone breaks into your servers, it's still kind of bad. Consider, for one, that the admins risk their laptops getting pwned when getting logs from said boxes. Easy to get from "one compromised server" to bigger problem

So if the server is compromised, it can fail the sftp in a suitable way? But its another matter if ansible's scp client is vulnerable to this.

Is this language agnostic, supporting all GDB's languages, or is there a specific set of languages that it supports? (GDB supports eg Ada, Fortran and Rust) edit: I had a look: the web page says "C/C++", there is some ev

Your quoted link points out no actual problems? It just conveys a fearful mystic vibe about the license and then reduces to "if you get acquired, the lawyers might want to look into the LGPL and it might cause a delay, thus hurting the

The "polyfills in the mean time" status has continued since 2013, it's not clear that there is a lot of momentum.

How does symbolic execution w KLEE work to formally verify programs, are there tradeoffs in coverage? For complete coverage you'd have to get it to cover the whole possible spaces of states and execution paths of the analyzed system.

A counter-anecdote: The features you listed started shipping (from Intel & MIPS) in microprocessors in 1996, 22 years ago. Intel's out-of-order Pentium Pro was beaten by the in-order DEC 21164 the same year. Also, there's the

What about "code"? In the scientific community it's used to refer to a piece of software. As in, "vector computers are good at running CFD [computational fluid-dynamics] codes" or even "I am trying to write a

This is indeed a powerful idea. The software equivalent is to forget about the distinct human-invented concepts of programs, input data, memory representation of data, and languages - it can all be optimized together with global visibility

Depends on what you mean by Meltdown. The paper defines Meltdown ambigiously, the author variously refer to the Meltdown attack, the Meltdown exploit (= PoC), the Meltdown bug (= vulnerability). The current PoC created by the researchers do

The language of efficiency is interesting in our field. We call something is "high performance" if some conceptual things are twiddling inside at high speed. I guess this comes from the "engine performance" meaning of th
