They're talking about Windows Bitlocker. It used to be able to use hardware encryption if the drive supported it, then there were sufficient vulnerabilities in implementations that…

I can't say anything about dual-booting Windows. I have heard that Windows Updates will frequently overwrite your custom EFI vars setup and reinstate the Windows bootloader etc. Ot…

You're right, I missed the article specifically mentions Meltdown in that sentence, not Spectre.

The fetch stage of the pipeline will have needed to predict the branch N cycles before the execute stage of the pipeline actually gets around to evaluating it, in order to continue…

Speculative execution does not require out-of-order execution. When you predict a branch, you're speculatively executing the predicted branch. Whether you're doing it in the same o…

Yes, I run Waydroid (LineageOS in a Linux container) in an Ubuntu x86_64 VM on my home PC using their default installation method, plus libhoudini via https://github.com/casualsnek…

Ah yes, in that case the relevant limit would be one on total handles, which doesn't seem to exist.

There are job objects which are similar to Linux cgroups, including the ability to set a limit on the number of processes. But I'm not sure if that limit will be tripped in this ca…

Somewhat related is the situation with Shingeki no Kyojin / Attack on Titan. "Attack on Titan" was the manga author's chosen English title, except the story does not take place on …

No need for a new format, just use ASS itself! https://github.com/libass/JavascriptSubtitlesOctopus

The answers to negative questions are the other way around in Japanese compared to English. "Are you not a student?" In English, the non-student speaker would respond with "No", sh…

>A character may say "I've missed you so much. It's been so long." The subtitles will read "Hey. Long time. " (both quotes would be Japanese) This is standard in closed captions an…

CR rips (like SubsPlease, mentioned in the article) have jp audio and softsubs for en+signs, so I assume you can turn them off on CR's website too.

I don't see anything wrong or confusing in them. On running the merge-usr script, the contents of /lib will be moved to /usr/lib, and /lib will become a symlink to /usr/lib. The sa…

They didn't understand the version numbers (notice they were complaining that the blog post jumped the gun because there is no merge-usr in 3.22) and wanted dates. I explained the …

>>the Merge Request that finalizes the initial work will be merged. Any new __edge__ installations will be /usr-merged from this point onwards. >>Release of Alpine Linux __3.23: [.…

And updating Alpine to a new release is already a manual action.

There's no need to interpret anything. It's spelled out in the list in the Timeline section already. Point 1 tells you it's in Edge. Point 2 tells you that stable will be able to s…

As TFA says, currently the usr-merge and the script for it is only in Edge, and it will come to stable in 3.23

If I was sufficiently motivated to leave GH for such idealistic reasons, it wouldn't be worth moving to another third-party host. That just means a few years later there will be so…

>Hold on. This wasn't a wrapper around a loop pattern - this was a first-class atomic operation, sitting right there next to fetch_add and fetch_or. Java doesn't have this. C++ doe…

I checked Godbolt, with RISC-V instead of ARM since I'm more familiar with that, and it doesn't look like it. https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/b5s4WjnTG (amomax is the atomic fetch-max in…
