For low-level system security, I'm a fan of https://llsoftsec.github.io/llsoftsecbook/LLSoftSecBook.pdf as an overview for any systems developer, not just compiler devs. It might n…

Because of our historical strength. If we drive people away, that just makes room for other contenders. How is that smart?

If we’d fix the green card caps so that Indian workers could get green cards we wouldn’t see as much abuse. The system is broken, so you’re suggesting break it further? The US bene…

It's back up now, sorry about that!

We haven't worked on C++ yet. Templates are the big issue, as a sibling comment speculates.

We didn’t benchmark this project (yet) but previous c2rust translations had approximately equal performance to the original. This is to be expected since the transpiled output is u…

I love Blink, it’s perfect for a remote emacs session. I use esc for alt, capture CTRL-space. You may have to rebind some control sequences, I don’t have that handy, but almost eve…

Why not rent a car when you want to go on trips outside of urban areas? Seems far cheaper if you can actually get away without a care in the city.

We have two of these prints up in our office. I highly recommend them, even if just as decoration.

I don't know that much about the inner workings of Congress, but I'm guessing that it might be because reps who vote against party lines won't get support for their own pet project…

Why was this discussion removed from the front page? Seems like relevant news of interest to a tech audience to me.

This should get labelled 2014. Interesting nonetheless.

Thank you for writing this. So many want to tiptoe around and ignore this election, like they've always done before, and that may be the worst mistake of all in this situation.

Indeed, I was trying to give well-known examples. Some of the more interesting, not widely-deployed PaX mitigations are more accurate here.
