Reproduces Mold’s linker benchmarks on a 16‑core Ryzen, shows that configuration (filesystem, delete‑output, fork) explains most of the Wild vs Mold speed gap, and notes recent Mold releases and upcoming Wild tweaks that close the gap.
The Internet Phone Book is a physical, art‑focused publication that curates personal websites of designers, developers, writers, and other creators. The page lists upcoming tour events, library locations, and where to buy the book, and invites submissions. No technical content, code, or engineering insights are present.
Typst 0.15 adds variable‑font support, experimental HTML export with MathML, a bundle output mode for multi‑file projects, multiple bibliography sections, and the ability to target several PDF standards at once. The post shows concrete Typst code snippets for each feature and notes the required compiler flags.
The article humorously promotes a fictional Shit Machine that rains waste, offering vague grandiose benefits. It contains no real engineering content or practical information.
Flock ALPR cameras run on severely outdated Android 8.1 and Linux 3.18, missing years of security patches. Analysis of leaked firmware revealed hard-coded API keys and plaintext Auth0 credentials, allowing access to Flock's backend for any camera given its MAC address.
The author shows how to label tokens (dates, money, emails, etc.) with a single regex pass using extended operators (`&` for intersection, `~` for complement) in the resharp library. A tiny benchmark compares 10 patterns against spaCy’s NER, reporting ~1.9 GB/s (≈4500× faster) on 8 threads. The post lists the concrete patterns and argues that for deterministic, regular‑language entities regex can…
Martin Fowler shares a personal, skeptical take on LLMs, noting their usefulness but criticizing their hallucinations, cultural bias, and the discomfort of interacting with them as if they were human.
Evan Ovadia announces Valen, a fork of his Vale language aimed at seamless Rust interop with features like linear types, group borrowing, and cross‑language generics. He outlines current capabilities, open challenges, and a lazy AST‑signature approach to bridge the Rust ABI gap.
The author argues that the AI hype wave is draining engineering resources without improving security, and that basic practices like inventory and automated patching are far more valuable. He warns that over‑reliance on AI‑generated code erodes understanding and makes debugging harder.
The authors of the open‑source project mobile‑use discovered that Google’s Artemis repository contains large blocks of identical Python code, examples, and even the same agent name without any attribution. They document the exact file diffs, the removal of their names via a force‑push, and the omission of their benchmark results from a public leaderboard. The post argues that this violates Apache…
GNOME 51 ("A Coruña") is a release‑focused update that adds smoother frame scheduling, screen‑capture speedups, auto‑rotate, touch‑pad auto‑disable, SSH‑socket remote login, offline maps, smart‑card remote desktop, visual signatures in Papers, and a raft of accessibility tweaks. Most changes are UI‑level refinements; there’s no deep technical exposition or performance data.
