Re:Two new ways to read a file quickly on Saturday March 07, 2020 @03:17AM (#22510515)
Hmm, how is one actually supposed to use O_SPECIFICFD in real life though? I mean, picking some specific FD nr can work in trvial, single threaded programs maybe, but how is that supposed to work on typical generic userspace code that has many threads and many libraries/subsystems all running in the same address space (and fd space) that want to take possession of some fd? I mean are apps supposed to block fd ranges ahead of time, by dup()ing /dev/null a couple of times, or how is that supposed to work? not getting this...
Re:Intel x86 Root of Trust: Loss of Trust on Thursday March 05, 2020 @02:32PM (#22497197)
A vulnerability has been found in the ROM of the Intel Converged Security and Management Engine (CSME).

A reference to the specific vulnerability would be nice. CVE? Conference presentation? El Reg? Sketchy blogspam? Maybe I've been living under a rock, but it would still help the reader out.

"the scenario that they feared most", yet the scenario everyone was sure would happen.
Is it unethical? I think that before long, we won't think that cloning humans is unethical. The reason is that the moral stances start sliding when the idea becomes more and more well known and normalized, in for example fiction.
Sometimes what doesn’t happen is as interesting as what does.

Cloning human embryos has been possible for nearly seven years. Yet as far as I know, during that time no one has made a cloned baby or, apparently, has tried to make one. And what I find most surprising is that no one has announced they intend to make one.

This looks effective. I will try it out and thanks for posting.

If you want to master how Timsort works and get a feel for it, I highly suggest you try to implement it yourself!

This article is based on Tim Peters’ original introduction to Timsort, found here.

Re:Startup options are better than they look (2017) on Saturday October 05, 2019 @01:25PM (#21166750)
There are a number of additional factors not modeled here that affect real world decision making. First, most option grants revert ownership to the company if not exercised within 90 days of leaving the company. If the company is doing well, it only makes sense to leave if you can exercise. But the problem with exercising is that there can be enormous AMT tax liability if the company is doing well and the valuation has gone up substantially. For early employees, the taxes can easily be 10-20x the exercise cost or more. But since the stock is illiquid, there is no market for selling some of the stock to cover this liability. If you front the taxes with your own money (or worse, a loan) you are now in a position of enormous risk. If the company falters or collapses, your downside is huge and you can be hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.
