I disregard #Linux Foundation "individual contributor account" because it tries to enforce LinkedIn in the registration. It's either link now or "setup later...". What is this? What if I just plain say: fuck off #LinkedIn, how's that? It tries to imply eventual joining to a forum owned by a large commercial entity.

Please, fix this ASAP. It is ridiculous.

According to the news about #Nordea #Bank, which is one of the large financial institutions in Scandinavia: "Finnish home appliances were used in Nordea's denial-of-service attacks" :-) #infosec #IoT

This is Matt (aka Mr ) who works to make chip design more accessible to students and enthusiasts. The Tiny Tapeout project: https://tinytapeout.com uses a fully open source pipeline to synthesise, verify and layout asic designs and combine them with other projects to amortise the wafer cost and make custom designs possible.

3.5 weeks of delay but I switched my job in the middle, finalized setting up my own company and contracts (as I'm a contractor) and learned to hack DWARF, so please aim your stones at me 🙃 đŸ€· 🍄

"Safer with Google: Advancing Memory Safety"

IMHO also Swift is also worth of a mention in this context given how it has been growing far beyond Apple's ecosystem. I've never even tried it but my friends who do games for consoles, mobile etc. seem to like it (and competition is great).

Is it true that Google Translate translates from A to B with two phases:

1. A to Eng
2. Eng to B

I like the AI intelligence test that Steve Wozniak proposed as an alternative to Turing test. It goes like this: AI has gained human intelligence if it can go to a house that is unknown for it previously, find coffee, filters, coffee boiler etc. and make some coffee.

I don't think we are there just yet...

I've said how great the Scanner app in #GNOME is when having to scan multi dozen contract papers for instance but also one nice I noticed in Evince: images can be exported by simply right-clicking the image. I've used weird command-line spells and never noticed this before.

Personally most important podman command is "podman system reset" because it is only way I know that leaves no garbage to ~/.local/share/containers. #podman #shrug

Speaking of DWARF:

1. Out-of-line instance of an inlined subroutine.
2. Concrete instance of an inlined subroutine.

What is their difference put in some common sense terms? I'm dealing at work with a custom DWARF post-processor and have a hunch that grabbing this would help me to sort out a bug that I'm dealing with.

The whole of my book on Building a Debugger is now available on Early Access!

It teaches you how to write a native code debugger from scratch.

There's lots of cats.

Liikkeelle on lÀhdössÀ tiettÀvÀsti Suomen suurin WordPress-hanke, ja etsin kokenutta projektipÀÀllikköÀ kolmeksi vuodeksi.

Kysele lisÀÀ tehtÀvÀstÀ, jos kiinnostaa, tai vinkkaa tÀstÀ hommasta eteenpÀin!

10 years closing as kernel maintainer (if I recall correctly my first update to MAINTAINERS was 16th day of this month 2014).

My philosophy when it comes to other developers, maintainers etc. is that:

1. No one is smarter or better than me.
2. I'm not smarter or better than anyone else.

As a developer I'm interested on other topics than kernel at the moment (could change, my plan is always no plan) although I have a few feature patch sets ongoing even ATM (e.g. TPM2 signers last updated April) but for most part I review, pick patch sets, and occasionally fix bugs. When it comes to kernel sec I'm the guy who is jack of all trades and master of none ;-)

So here's to next 10 year of madness đŸ»
