Like there are no bigots in NH. When I lived in Central NH I had a long hair and almost got run out of town for being a "fucking long haired hippie"

What political factors are you referring to? I think Linux took off because it was easily accessible and widely available, and Linus made a lot of pragmatic choices. I remember in the 90s how awesome it seemed to get a *nix system for free

But there is a radiator at the front of most air-cooled Porsches; although it cools oil instead of water. See: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/911_carrera_oil_coo...

I do think there is a subculture of "hip" motorheads. Look at Zeitgeist (bar in SF) for instance. I think Magnus is someone who qualifies as being able to push fashion trends.

I'm wondering if early Boxsters and 996s might be good values now because there are fixes for the IMS bearing issue on the market. I've read it can be done with a clutch job.

For me it was a Subaru STI. I enjoyed it more in almost every way than the Porsche, other than how it looked. My father has a nice 90s Miyata. I've driven it quite a bit and for the money it is a pretty well thought out and fun vehicle

Magnus's collection is beautiful and I love his aesthetic, but I can't help but think it is the ultra wealthy buyers who own a dozen 911s who are driving up the prices into the stratosphere. It might be sour grapes, but honestly,

I have a vintage 911. It is fun as hell when the thing is running right, but it is never running right. Even the years they call "bullet proof" don't hold a candle to the reliability of a modern Japanese sports car (which I&#

I like the idea. Are the shoes welted?

This looks interesting, but I don't totally understand how it works. How is the key changed every time on the server? It looks like it requires server side support.

What kind of blades does the company make? Are they multi-blade? Harry's is a great idea, but I've been happy with double edge razors for a while now: http://baus.net/shave-kit

This is a new idea. Wondering where I should take it next. I would appreciate feedback.

That's interesting. I had been working something similar years ago. I eventually open sourced it, but discontinued work on it. Http://github.com/baus/swithflow I'm surprised more systems don't take this ap

This is a good idea. I could see this changing C development for the better.

Cordovan is not a fussy material. It is meant to be worn hard, everyday.

I'm a big fan of horween and alden. If you care about quality and craftsmanship, then I think the products are worth the price (even if it has gone up a lot in the past few years). It is possible to wear out cordovan, but you really ha

This is a really good way to put this distinction. Most applications use threads because they are waiting on I/O, not because they are concurrently processing.

I'm using asoftmurmur now. I think it is the best noise generator out there. Who cares what the code looks like?

> OpenSSL has an abstraction layer over malloc, which uses an internal stack-based free-list, and which it uses for all allocations To be clear, this is NOT TRUE. The freelist is used for some allocations, but not in the patch in point.

by cmbaus 12y ago
Here's where the freelist operations are defined: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/21e0c1d23afff48601eb... But where are they called from? Update: To answer my own question the freelist is used in

I believe there is some confusion (at least I was confused until I looked at the code) that the library had universally replaced malloc with another allocator. While the library allows users to provide their own allocator, it is not done by

by cmbaus 12y ago
There is a big discussion going on that could be misleading. To clarify, are we calling the freelist implementation, which the heartbeat code does not use, an allocator? Update: I agree with the author that it is wrong to point the blame at

> So the focus on the self-written allocator seems to get a little biased in this discussion. I feel like I'm missing something here. Where are the self written allocators? This article states that the OPENSSL_Malloc is simply mallo

There was some discussion here[1] that OpenSSL had implemented their own allocators, but doesn't seem to be the case. As this article points out, a quick review of the code will show that OPENSSL_Malloc() is simply malloc by default[2]

Regarding point #5. If the performance of OpenSSL was terrible we would not be having this discussion. This is system level component which must pass all encrypted traffic. OpenSSL is ubiquitous and runs everywhere including phones and low

I'm sort of surprised an allocation occurs every time the heartbeat is sent. That is a lot of trips to the heap. I'm not very familiar with how TLS heartbeats are implemented, but I wonder if the buffer could have just been alloc&
