[$] Restartable sequences, TCMalloc, and Hyrum’s Law
Hyrum’s Law states that any
observable behavior of a system will eventually be depended upon by
somebody. The kernel community is currently contending with a clear
demonstration of that principle. The recent work to address some restartable-sequences\
performance problems in the 6.19 release maintained the documented API
in all respects, but that was not enough; Google’s [TCMalloc](https://google.github.io/tcmalloc/ … ⌘ Read more

GitHub ‘No Longer a Place For Serious Work’, Says Hashicorp Co-Founder

In Memoriam: Tomáš Kalibera
We have received the sad news that Tomáš Kalibera, a member of the
R Project core team, has
passed away\
after a short illness.

A friend who knew him well wrote to me: he was very happy, and
his work fulfilled him. That is, perhaps, the best thing one can
say about a life in open source — that the work mattered, that it
reached millions, and that the person who did it found meaning in it.

[$] One Sized trait does not fit all
In Rust, types either possess a constant size known at compile time, or a
dynamically calculated size known at
run time. That is fine for most purposes, but recent proposals for the language
have shown the need for a more fine-grained hierarchy.
RFC 3729 from David Wood and Rémy Rakic would add a hierarchy of
traits to describe types with sizes known under different circumstances. While
the idea has been subject … ⌘ Read more

My twtxt instance is under a de-facto attack. Or, at this point, I can’t even differentiate an attack from the other in the constant barrage or malicious requests.

There were so many bots hammering it, in only 3 days, they consumed the ironically significant amount of 666 MB — I kid you not! In the last 24 hours, there were 59,673 hits on this endpoint alone.

I had to put my twtxt web interface behind a password-protected BasicAuth directive. As I’m the only one using it, it’s fine.

Bots, scrappers and Large Laggy Manglers are poisoning the open web.

Recently the guy maintaining chardet changed its GPL license to MIT because “it is a complete re-write” (by AI, of course). It was called out by the original author. Changing the license is something the current maintainer wanted to do for long time, getting nos, and nos then. That didn’t stop him 12 years later.
