I spend so much more time with generative IA thinking and iterating over design details (or even overall design) than before, when part was consumed by writing the implementation. Bots are often terrible and/or don’t have all your requ

The text seems LLM generated. Maybe it is mixed with some human editing because it is not too bad. But you still have typical LLM constructs.

Is this an admission that you accept to implement complete garbage?

RT threads can be prempted by higher prio RT, and IIRC some kernel threads run at the highest prio. Plus you can be prempted by SMI, an hypervisor, etc

I dont know if the Python in Excel architecture as changed but last time i saw it, it was insane and unusable for me (data sent to MS servers where a linux container executes python: you need both a subscription and that the data in questio

The USA spies all the time on everybody so by your own def they should be not really an ally of anybody.

I'm using OVH and the notion of it "just working" is all relative. It's tolerable, but certainly a bit buggy, and with far less services than aws and co. It is also cheap, but given the limitations I doubt they can incre

The linux kernel already works perfectly fine with various base page sizes.

I've been trying to use auditing rules for a usage that seems completely in scope and obvious to prioritize from a security point of view (tracing access to EFS files and/or the keys allowing the access) and my conclusion was that

Rust is possible and proves that you don’t need "optimizations" to optimize, but that optimizations are actually possible. Now that's kind of irrelevent for most of the article focusing about constant versus variable time whi

Probably when writing "hate AI" here the meaning was hate the often useless text chat bot. Google Photo face recognition was there before the new hipe and is probably not designated talked by primarily as "AI" by the gen

What is the value of writing all of that, compared to the simpler approach? What will you want next in your quest of purity? Forbidding inline styles in the name of security, maybe? Disclaimer: I'm not found of web techs...

There was actually "SUA" after "SFU", only removed in Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

It's funny how cancelled projects are somehow making people almost more "nostalgic" than projects that actually shipped. One of the reason may be that cancelled projects don't need to be completed, to ship with a reasona

The C++ API bound forever to the gcc 2.95 ABI IIRC was also an "interesting" choice. Sure with success they would certainly have engineered a way forward, out of necessity, but if I would have had to give my opinion about that for

Nt has a dynamic HAL layer to adapt it to platforms. I'm not sure if it was publicly documented, but in any case yes the source code leak don't harm that kind of port, even if you "just" have to write a HAL.

I find xrdp quite slow esp compared to a Windows RDP server. This is with the xrdp that comes with Debian 12. Maybe newer versions are faster.

Also, iirc there is no Windows department anymore at MS. Hard to make a great platform in these conditions.

Unfortunately _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is documented as making some conforming program fail, and it seems hard to find precise informations on this subject, so i'd be hesitant to use it, as well as _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3

The problem could be abuse of a dominant position. Maybe Mac has now a market share good enough so that MS can pretend they are not in a dominant position in this sector, although if all it takes for an industry to abuse their users is that

It seems completely illegal for MS to do that on EU computers, esp. with Schrems (but probably even completely illegal with just GDPR)

Not surprising when you compare some leaked NT code and some ReactOS code. I'm not even saying they straight copied the source btw, but some consider that disassembling as a reference is fine (and using MS symbols...). Well it might ev

I still find NT very fast when using through RDP, especially compared with any FLOSS solution that exist in the GNU/Linux world. I've not tried proprietary graphic remoting solution for GNU/Linux systems though.
