termdebug (used by the tool linked in the topic) basically does this for anything you can debug in GDB. It's the tightest integration of debuggers and (neo)vim I have used.

There are also DAP-based integrations, which I have put the effort into using.

Expanding on this,a very nice property of Galois Counter Mode (GCM) for AES is that encrypting one block does not require the previous block to be encrypted, like in AES-CBC.

This means that AES-GCM can take advantage of data parallelism and there are big speedups in threaded and pipelined CPUs.

In short, you can get big latency and throughout gains by using AES-GCM over AES-CBC.

Exploration spikes around Christmas, for example, during which people may be influenced to seek out season-specific music.

For my case, exploration does spike around Christmas, but this is due to all the "best albums of the year" lists coming out.

I get more than my fill of Christmas music involuntarily, no need to "discover" more.

The transition is rocky. I seem to have lost my stats - more than 100 days of results...

Good for the devs, but sucks for me and the group of friends who were informally competing

Is that list of tech stacks complete?

Personally I am looking for such a tool but have a hard requirement for native compiled languages (C/C++/Rust).

I know that there is some transfer - a good developer that does a decent Python/Go exercise likely could also be good in other languages. But candidates might not want to do that transition.

Portuguese (at least the one from Portugal) has 9 vowel phonemes, compared to 5 for spanish. If you count the nasals it's 14. And you can add some additional vowel richness in diphthongs.

It's very very varied phonetically when compared to the neighboring Spanish, which IIRC underwent considerable simplification at in the 16th century with unification of Spain.

I've heard many French and Spanish native speakers expressing the difficulty to understand it.

Actually, I am familiar with a rolling r such as in English 'rat', used in place of the the initial R or double RR, in rural central and northern Portugal.

The linked article acknowledges this at the end

From one of the printouts in the post, it seems that Papers Please is using a bundled and statically linked SDL.

So it would be the game developer that would have to update the version of the SDL library. The binary patching done seems like a good-enough alternative in the meantime.

I have the feeling such bundling of dependencies is fairly common when porting games for Linux.

There is a feature of sudo to allow only certain user/command combinations. E.g. User M can only run "apt" under sudo.

The site explains how User M can exploit such situations to bypass this restriction. User M can thus effectively run anything under sudo.

The cynic in me suspects that this is intentionally obfuscated to the readers not already in the know.

Whereaa few of the general public are likely the target user of a CDP (customer data platform), they are likely the actual target of the product: they will have their data and interactions detailely stored and processed via this platform. However well done this may be, it is more comfortable not to be too aware about it.

That is true, but it is also true that the WordPress and PHP running on that ARM lambda will not be as stable as the x86 lambda if the vast majority of their developers only run x86 at home.

Hear hear!

Here's to hoping that inclusion in the kernel will provide the motivation for addressing this in Rust.

This is a point that may benefit from the new backing of Rust by the foundation - non-userspace was a side thing for Mozilla, but in Google and Amazon they have some core stuff depending on kernel.

The HN post title is severely misleading. From the linked article:

"There was a fault in the system which, when a female passenger checked in for the flight and used or was given the title ‘Miss’, caused the system checked her in as a child. The system allocated them a child’s standard weight of 35 kg as opposed to the correct female standard weight of 69 kg."

So titling it "Root cause: adult females checked in as 'Miss'" is wrong. The linked article does not even have the word "root".
