    Am I missing something, or is this article making a big fuss out of a relatively mundane privilege escalation? "MILLIONS AFFECTED, PATCH ASAP!" If you already have access to the ma…

    Solid analysis, and a great read. I'm happy you posted this, as I was disappointed by the other Apple v Epic article that was making its way around HN today [0]. This article is si…

    J Kenji Lopez-Alt has a lot of great wok content for American kitchens. In [0], he uses a butane torch to get the smoky wok flavor (wok hei) in a standard kitchen. He also reviews …

    I don't have an account, and the change has been noticeable and annoying. It's more than just clicking on another tweet, though from what I can tell they've been A/B testing this b…

    I agree completely. I have Windows at home for gaming, and Windows at work (because those are the laptops we get). It's rough. The only thing that makes this bearable is Windows Su…

    You are exactly right. In fact, there are a number of approaches in this space: p4c-ebpf [0], p4c-xdp [1], and p4c-ubpf [2]. [0] https://github.com/p4lang/p4c/blob/main/backends/eb…

    I would expect to see Intel pushing P4 heavily over the next year. P4 will almost certainly be involved in the roadmap for their recently released IPU (a SmartNIC needs some type o…
