One wisdom that applies both understanding math and programming in deeper level and navigating through that jungle: be stupid and try not to understand 🤷 Stupid is the new smart.

A power user belongs to a category of users who use computers just for the sake of using them, and that is the overall main goal of using a computer.

I like Low Level Learning Youtube-channel but with this I have I have to totally disagree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T3ZDquDDVg

The golden rule for writing code and debugging is obviously:

1. Do the most simplest and least scalable trial at first.
2. If that does not scale take a more powerful tool.

I certainly know how to use core files but it is MORE EFFORT.

Starting from October, when my research contract ends, I'll be joining Parity as compiler and virtualization engineer: https://www.parity.io/

Since https://github.com/RustScan/RustScan claims to be fast I tried first a trivial SYN scan to my file server:

sudo nmap -sS -p- haaparousku

I got the list of ports in about one second (bit more or less). Then I tried rustscan and got bored enough to finally SIGINT it:

rustscan --addresses haaparousku

Not sure I get the improvement here… Also command-line is not “tactile :-)

Something definitely to improve in Rust command-line apps is not to think arguments as an object tree that you feed into clap crate. That’s just lazy.

Instead a better metaphor for a great command-line interface is something like a game pad that you can “play” easily. That’s why nmap has been relevant for decades.

It would be sometimes useful if #QEMU w/o libvirt could interpret domain XML to some level.

Like for instance if you want to CI kernel, that would be one use case for this.

For the sake of example, here’s the QEMU command-line that I use as starting point for any kernel testing/CI:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
  -M pc \
  -monitor unix:monitor.sock,server,nowait \
  -serial unix:serial.sock,server,wait \
  -drive file=disk.img,if=virtio,format=raw \
  -net nic,model=virtio \
  -net user,hostfwd=tcp::10022-:22 \
  -rtc base=localtime \
  -nographic \
  -chardev socket,id=chrtpm,path=${SWTPM_DIR}/swtpm-sock \
  -tpmdev emulator,id=tpm0,chardev=chrtpm \
  -device ${QEMU_TPM_DEVICE},tpmdev=tpm0 \
  -bios /usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd \
  "$@"

First pull request in preparation after holidays and it is over two weeks past. I blame all those nasty interviews ;----)

https://soatok.blog/2024/08/14/security-issues-in-matrixs-olm-library/

I had also NVidia interview this week (which went well but I decided to took a position already offered elsewhere) and in that interview I was asked stuff about virtual memory.

Without going details on questions concerning I said that security USED to be a property why we use virtual memory ;-) Now it is the place inhabited by the seasonal flu with its various generations, i.e. Spectre.

If you want to feel how it feels to make hole with a street drill to your skull, try watching Project 2025 videos uncut ;----) Was an epic failure

I wonder how these AI crawlers verify that the code they feed to LLM is not copyleft licensed? Like GPL for instance? It could mean huge legal risks for companies, if fragments can be later on identified.

I don't know what it is but if I have interview with 20 minutes live coding I sleep for the rest of the day. Does not have to be that complex task, super exhausting. Last week I had like two of those and one technical interview, not much else accomplished.

Do not know much about #politics but I like people who appreciate great audio equipment ;-)

I really would like to test out GCC-Rust. What would be the easy path? I'm using Fedora across the board in my Linux systems.
