Tangent nit, but k8s was never a google-internal system. See https://research.google/pubs/borg-omega-and-kubernetes/

From the README of that repo, rcc seems to only compile ~2x as fast as GCC. You claim 10x. Where is the proof ?

Shouldn't you look at the YoY change instead, to compare to stock returns ? Otherwise that's like comparing market cap, and then it is obvious that a big company tends to stay big.…

The agency who arrested him have been sentenced to pay him 12k$ + court fees. There is a criminal case ongoing against Della Valle, former head of Switzerland's federal police. It …

And a Swiss court decided that this was illegal and disproportionate [1]. Rule of law does not mean that nothing illegal happens in the country (that's obviously impossible to guar…

That's not what I believe. Other posters have explained it well, but to respond myself: 1. Some large tech companies are also large real estate funds. Google had >100B$ in real est…

That's not necessarily true, though. For instance, real estate investors have a lot to lose from vacant office space and therefore would benefit from RTO. I personally find that I …

If you are talking about USB-A Nanos, there is https://tomu.im/ , which is very nice and interesting.

The linked article is precisely about how in 2024 they started rewriting their proxy layer from nginx (a C app). While "They haven't had an incident that bad since they switched fr…

What are you raving about? In the US you can get your DNA taken by authorities without possibility of refusing as well: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/sep/23/us-border…

The goal of this kind of system is not to replace the application server. This is intended to work on the data plane where you do simple operations but do them many time per second…

There are more ACME-compatible CAs than just Let's Encrypt, should they ever become the bad guys, or if you don't want to trust them for any reason, see [0]. I understand that peop…

Android delegated some security features to a different kernel called Trusty that is separated from the main Linux kernel using virtualisation. That kernel runs high value security…

Yes, but on projects like that, ease of maintenance is a secondary priority when compared to performance or throughput.

Romansh is a national language, not an official one. (At the federal level) Which means that Switzerland considers it a part of it’s culture but that for instance laws and executiv…

https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/227459/why-is-t... The initials spell out "OBSD", as a nod to the hash being first designed for OpenBSD, and they needed a 24 char / 19…

In arch at least it is reasonnably easy to download the source for a package, modify it locally, build it and install it. Not sure if that's what you are asking for?

Google as a company manufactures hardware, it makes sense to have a machine shop for prototypes.

Do you have a link ? I was not aware of that, the only thing I can find is that McLaren ran some tests to replace in-cockpit ads with a small eink screen, but nothing on the side o…

etcd is fairly similar to Chubby indeed, or Zookeeper.

I heard good stuff about Dirty Cables: https://dirtypcbs.com/store/cables

Arch Linux is not vulnerable to this specific attack, which requires sshd to be linked to liblzma. This link is provided by out-of-sshd patches, that Arch does not apply to their b…

That leads to an infinite backlog no ? If you need more than 24h to process 24h of data ?

At least according to the Github's language breakdown for https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux , C is still 98.3% of the repository, and Rust is in the 0.1% of "others".

CAN Bus is more like a layer 2 bus, so it should not really bother with encryption, just like Ethernet doesn't provide it. It all comes from the layers above it, and there has been…
