Plus there are hordes of academics using Clang/GCC as targets for bug-finding papers. The Csmith [1] paper alone has over a thousand citations at this point. I'd assume most of the low-hanging fruits are picked. [1] https:/&

Thanks. It looks like this includes comments which blows up the page count dramatically. A little unfortunate.

They seem to be doing okay with the New Yorker, although I do not know how the magazine was viewed before their acquisition.

The customer reaction to this decision spoke volumes. The official reason given is margins compared to hardware such as the IPU but, personally, I chalk it up to turf wars. Barefoot had a distinct culture to Intel's other networking un

Most of the locals do enjoy the Oktoberfest (speaking as someone from there). It is a fun two weeks of the year and the entire city enters a special kind of mood. But it is not surprising that the HN crowd would find it distasteful. People

New-Yorker-style long-form articles are a different reading experience compared to an article intended to deliver factoids. These articles are not meant to just deliver news. They are meant to be immersive and also educational. They end up

For the vast majority of the degree, PhDs are not taking any classes (often, they are not even allowed to). They are just workers who either teach or research. The tuition is usually an accounting trick used by colleges/universities fo

A big part of the reason these unionization efforts are happening: https://csstipendrankings.org/ Many universities are not paying a living wage for the area they are located in.

Yes. My office is about a 10 minute walk away. I work from home when I need to get stuff done. There are simply fewer distractions. I go to the office when I do feel live having some idle chit chat or to be social. If I were 100% remote, I

Hi Bryan, As someone deeply involved with the P4 community and contributor to the P4 compiler it is great to see someone being bullish on the language. Have been following your work with interest. :) I see that you are developing your own c

It's tragic, really. Tofino chips were such a promising and impactful technology.

It seems this is because the company has broadly shifted focus to softer social issues rather than technical topics. Mozilla keeps struggling with market share and users are anguished to see that their (former) favorite browser is investing

Let me clarify that I do not have all these issues. I am doing well for myself. This is partially because of my own cynicism, partially because of good mentors, and partially because of plain luck. However, not everyone has that luxury. The

Graduate student unions are not that common in STEM subjects. MIT just got one this year for example.

As a current CS PhD in the US I find this sentiment aggravating. I am not a mere "student", I am a full-time employee. I do not take classes and I am not interested in taking classes. I would either like to teach or work on my res

Why would you pay extra and deal with the additional headache of being screened/having to enter your private data if you could just take the more convenient and largely anonymous train for under a $100? A train where you are not squeez

Thanks for clarifying! This was not meant to be an attack, but with analysis pieces on these matters I am always hesitant with respect to the source.

How trustworthy is The War Zone? It seems to be largely focussed on US defence tech industry, so I expect fairly biased reporting on this topic. Is there a better source?

Are there any (continental) philosophers you would recommend over Nietzsche? I keep trying to move past him and Stirner, but have not managed so far.

P4 and eBPF are not really competing in the same space. eBPF/XDP is a virtual kernel machine that you can program in restricted C. P4 is a language that specifies how a device should process packets. So P4 is compiled down into a targe

To explore Z3 projects, I sometimes just browse the tags on Github [0]. I also am not aware of a better way to get an overview. However, I know Z3 is used a lot in industry for verification and resource allocation tasks. Personally, I have
