I accidentally took down our corporate network multiple times ~20 years ago, because I was setting up virtual networks with Linux machines acting as l2 bridges, and with proxy_arp to on. The DHCP server only checked for an arp reply, and I

Eh, at least one of those -- the "crashing the node" with messages argument is weak-ish, you can setup: erlang:process_flag(message_queue_data, on_heap), erlang:set_process_info_limit(memory, 1024000).

Isn’t the highly connected nature of the model layers problematic to build into physical layer?

I find it a little funny how much the government spends on these dead end investigations. We never will know precisely how much is wasted.

What ethnicity are you? I went through an airport -- and nobody else got screened except me. What was special about me? I was the only non-white person in the airport. Upon complaining, this was the response: > Random selection by our sc

So, you’re essentially washing the soil in DMSO, and DDT is more soluble in DMSO? — curious, what does it take to wash all that soil?

I have wondered why the likes of McKinsey, KPMG, and PWC do not put up candidates (don't even sponsor them, just say you're electing _well known consultancy_).

The author (Cong Wang) is building all sorts of neat stuff. Recently, they built kernelscript: https://github.com/multikernel/kernelscript -- another DSL for BPF that's much more powerful than the C alternatives,

I really like the manycores approach, but we haven’t seen it come to fruition — at least not on general purpose machines. I think a machine that exposes each subset of cores as a NUMA node and doesn’t try to flatten memory across the entire

I think the most interesting thing about this is the origin of the project - multikernel. It seems like someone is building Solaris zones for Linux.

Investment gap is what I'd say too. While Rust, Go, Python, etc... have had massive backers that have managed to invest a ton more into things like static analysis, type checking, and developer ergonomics, the Erlang ecosystem hasn&#x2

No it wont. It's incredibly hard to build out a fully useful version of the Linux APIs, as shown to us by Cygwin, and WSL. Even if you built out a similar set of APIs, Linux itself offers a ridiculous set of interaction points where ap

1. AWS and their account managers are relatively frugal compared to other enterprise sales teams. As far as I can tell, this is a good thing. 2. More 3. AWS has this idea of “customer obsession.” They will spend an absurd amount of time try

Wasn't there a paper from Heidi Howard that stated you it's not actually f failures in 2f+1 nodes, but you can actually make the number of nodes that can fail a lot higher, if you have some nodes that have to take part in the quor

I wish the article actually talked about the interesting nitro enclave specific features more. A lot of it just talks about the basic hardening of a Linux VM and writing secure applications.

I’ve loved the Buttplug project. I was hitting an issue with their Bluetooth library controlling a we-vibe, and someone offered to drive over from the other side of the bay to help debug it. Bluetooth sniffer, and all.

With seccomp, you have syscall filtering. The bits that are left exposed are largely around mm, and depending on how the sandbox works, non-syscall APIs like io_uring. It essentially actuates kernel APIs to sandbox, and then redirects a num
