No, they believe that almost all bugs in an operating system kernel are also likely to be security bugs. The ones which get domain names, POC exploits, and CVE assignments are the ones which were found by security researchers. But the bugs

Honestly I find this quite frustrating. I really dislike when folks like yourself take your product-focused mindset into open source/public domain projects. These people are NOT BUILDING A PRODUCT. There ARE NO USERS. No customers. No

The fact also remains that fraud (even if it's not prosecuted) is fraud. You promise X and deliver... not X, for years? You're a fraud. Even if you are getting better at delivering Y, for some value of Y which is Far, Far less tha

I'll believe it when they accept liability for the actions of their autonomous vehicles. Videos mean nothing.

Haha it definitely takes the content moderation problems and distributes then across all the instances. But that's kind of the whole point. You can join an instance that moderates content in accordance to your preferences, rather than

You missed the initial part, where the signer finger spells the concept the first time they use it, and then they come up with a sign representing it. By doing so, they've shown the other person what sign they're using and its mea

I searched lore.kernel.org and couldn't find any postings that propose using this in the kernel. I'd encourage you to share a proposal, otherwise the "kernel team" will never be interested, because they'll never hea

(warning: pedantic comment) "et alia" is used to refer to "the others (people)" whereas "et cetera" is used to refer to "the others (things)". So you'd use "et cetera" to refer to the o

This presupposes an awful lot. If it were truly a risk free magic wand you could wave, then I could see your point. But none of the current options are risk free, and I doubt this one will be. They all have risks, side effects, and probably

At the end of the show there are boxes to return the wristband so it can be reused/recycled. The vast majority return them, except a small portion who may keep it as a souvenir or to tear it down.

I think if you're not willing to manually verify the output of these generative machine learned algorithms, then you probably shouldn't present them to somebody as if you've done them the service of a free code review.

My understanding is that it was basically a condition enforced by the maintainers of the Linux TCP / networking subsystems. If you look at the initial upstreaming discussions[1], this was setup as a ground rule. If you look at the olde

Using DWARF is annoying with perf because the kernel doesn't support stack unwinding with DWARF, and never will. The kernel has to be the one which unwinds the user space stacks, because it is the one managing the perf counters and han

Yeah I saw Vaishali & Javier's presentation [1] at LPC last year! Great stuff, & certainly available to use now rather than when SFrame becomes available and supported. In the same spirit, it seems that the .eh_frame -> BPF

This is a good idea for the short-term. As of now, frame pointers are the most reliable way to ensure that software can be profiled by tools like perf*. The core issue is that the kernel must be the one to unwind the userspace stack, and it

I think the very defense you're using is the problem though. It's fine if nobody uses the competing browser for work at Google. It is, however, pretty standard to have automatic tests for performance and functionality, and these n

Yeah. The money is there to ensure that there's an independent browser option to point at, if there's ever any question about lack of competition. But the products are all designed to behave worse on Firefox, to help keep usage in

Two hour parking (I'm guessing it's free, but it doesn't really matter) is the result of such a mind-numbingly obvious market inefficiency. Street parking is being given away for free, or at incredibly cheap prices, so of cou
