Tangent nit, but k8s was never a google-internal system. See https://research.google/pubs/borg-omega-and-kubernetes/

From the README of that repo, rcc seems to only compile ~2x as fast as GCC. You claim 10x. Where is the proof ?

Shouldn't you look at the YoY change instead, to compare to stock returns ? Otherwise that's like comparing market cap, and then it is obvious that a big company tends to stay big.

The agency who arrested him have been sentenced to pay him 12k$ + court fees. There is a criminal case ongoing against Della Valle, former head of Switzerland's federal police. It only started after the administrative ruling and parlia

And a Swiss court decided that this was illegal and disproportionate [1]. Rule of law does not mean that nothing illegal happens in the country (that's obviously impossible to guarantee). It means illegal acts have consequences. [1] h

That's not what I believe. Other posters have explained it well, but to respond myself: 1. Some large tech companies are also large real estate funds. Google had >100B$ in real estate positions (although mixed between datacenters an

That's not necessarily true, though. For instance, real estate investors have a lot to lose from vacant office space and therefore would benefit from RTO. I personally find that I enjoy in person collaboration but that should not mean

If you are talking about USB-A Nanos, there is https://tomu.im/ , which is very nice and interesting.

The linked article is precisely about how in 2024 they started rewriting their proxy layer from nginx (a C app). While "They haven't had an incident that bad since they switched from C to Rust." might be true, it has also bee

The goal of this kind of system is not to replace the application server. This is intended to work on the data plane where you do simple operations but do them many time per second. Think things like load balancers, cache server, routers, s

There are more ACME-compatible CAs than just Let's Encrypt, should they ever become the bad guys, or if you don't want to trust them for any reason, see [0]. I understand that people get annoyed at shorter cert lifetime, for insta

Android delegated some security features to a different kernel called Trusty that is separated from the main Linux kernel using virtualisation. That kernel runs high value security services. https://source.android.com/docs&

Yes, but on projects like that, ease of maintenance is a secondary priority when compared to performance or throughput.

Romansh is a national language, not an official one. (At the federal level) Which means that Switzerland considers it a part of it’s culture but that for instance laws and executive orders are not translated in Romansh.

https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/227459/why-is-t... The initials spell out "OBSD", as a nod to the hash being first designed for OpenBSD, and they needed a 24 char / 192 bits value.

In arch at least it is reasonnably easy to download the source for a package, modify it locally, build it and install it. Not sure if that's what you are asking for?

Google as a company manufactures hardware, it makes sense to have a machine shop for prototypes.

Do you have a link ? I was not aware of that, the only thing I can find is that McLaren ran some tests to replace in-cockpit ads with a small eink screen, but nothing on the side of the cars.

Arch Linux is not vulnerable to this specific attack, which requires sshd to be linked to liblzma. This link is provided by out-of-sshd patches, that Arch does not apply to their build.

That leads to an infinite backlog no ? If you need more than 24h to process 24h of data ?

At least according to the Github's language breakdown for https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux , C is still 98.3% of the repository, and Rust is in the 0.1% of "others".

CAN Bus is more like a layer 2 bus, so it should not really bother with encryption, just like Ethernet doesn't provide it. It all comes from the layers above it, and there has been proposal to add encryption or authentication to CAN. T

Well a lot of cars have a wireless charging pad available in the phone holder, so you just drop your phone there and it starts charging / connects to Android Auto.

I also had some experience in that space, and my conclusion was that what was really hard is handling keep-alive correctly. Some mobile networks will very aggressively flush their NAT entries while other will be fine with a packet every hou

I don't think so. According to [0], the passcode is used to protect filesystem encryption keys, meaning that without the code, you cannot decrypt your files. I don't know if pictures are stored encrypted, but I would assume so. ed

You can also use third party libraries. I have written projects using ChibiOS and libopencm3 and their driver model was actually OK to use, although for most peripherals you still need the datasheet to understand the exact capabilities of t
