Well the last annual report I could find actually says that they got a return of 17.65% so 3% would be pretty bad

There is a couple libc implementations:

- c-ward [0] a libc implementation in Rust

- relibc [1] a libc implementation in Rust mainly for use in the Redox os (but works with linux as well)

- rustix [2] safe bindings to posix apis without using C

xAI bought Twitter a bit under a year ago: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ceqjq11202ro

tbh I don't think that really counts when it is a tool made by the sqlite developer.

tbh I think it is just a question about time before flask guy has something to sell: https://earendil.com/

Tbh I thought that was clear when I used the phrase "unscientific".

Then it would not be unscientific.

A quick unscientific count on cve.org counts ~86 race condition CVEs in the Linux kernel last year, so you might be overstating how well bug antennas work.

There was a music language made for the Danish GIER machine, made in 1971 (at least the 2nd edition of the handbook is from there)

The handbook for the language is sadly only in Danish so it might not be super interesting: https://datamuseum.dk/bits/30002486

Here is the code for movement 1 and 2 of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik: https://datamuseum.dk/aa/gier/30000644.html

Is the whole issue not that they are less of a band of activists than they used to be. Now it is suddenly no longer about free and open source software, but more of means to run the whole machine, which is why they probably have profit oriented CEO as bad as that is.

IMO they need to be more a crew of activists than they are now. Fight against stuff like intrusion of AI in every single part of our lives and such.

Ahh I guess that means that its possible in safe rust to cast a file descriptor to a different type. I was just looking at how socket2 did it and forgot to have a proper look.

The std api can only create UdpSockets, the trick here is that you use Socket2 which allows more kinds of sockets and then you tell UdpSocket that some raw file descriptor is a upd socket through a unsafe api with no checks and I guess it works because they use the same api on posix.

Edit: It is possible in safe rust as well, see child comment.

The macro used by socket2: https://docs.rs/socket2/0.6.1/src/socket2/lib.rs.html#108

The FromRawFd trait: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/os/fd/trait.FromRawFd.h...

The Excel replacement they use is this one: https://www.collaboraonline.com/calc/

Interestingly phk's own site has only been referenced once http://freebsd.dk/sagas/bikeshed/

It seems like something called "nicescroll" hijacks the scrolling on the page, its compiled in the minified javascript so a bit hard to tell though.

Turning off javascript seems to fix it though.

I rewrote my website to use typst for all the content and I really like how it is to integrate as well, its just a rust crate that I use in my build script because Typst is just on crates.io

Pointers to a vec could also be invalidated at any point when adding a new element and causing a reallocation

(I think Miri will shout at you if you use a invalidated pointer here)

The 35th First Annual Ig Nobel Ceremony is also up on YouTube and is worth a watch as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1cP4xKd_L4

This is not even the only stone age settlement under water in Denmark, there is at least one other I know of on Zealand, article in Danish about it: https://www.vikingeskibsmuseet.dk/fagligt/marinarkaeologi/ma...

You mean for the PlayStation? That is a FreeBSD fork, probably chosen over Linux because of the license.

Maybe it just have to do with what you are used to, it was one of the things that made me like Rust coming from F# it had the same `name : type` and `let mutable name` that I knew from there.

A few years ago the H. C. Andersen center made a New website with all his works online: https://hcandersen.dk/en/works/?pageNumber=1&genre=tale

Both in Danish and English

It should be noted that even though the post links to the perl version for some reason, it is actually not what cargo flamegraph [0] uses, it uses a reimplementation of it in Rust called inferno [1].

I don't think I have ever run into it on Windows, but I have seen it pretty much every time I update it on Linux through the package manager.

At the complete other end there is this art piece which should contain a total of $84,000 in Danish kroner and euros, but contains a grand total of $0:

There is also a version of Danefæ for non-human made things called Danekræ

https://samlinger.snm.ku.dk/en/danekrae/

There is a lot less specimens in that collection as it only includes specimens that are deemed important in some ways, right now there are 1054.

They can be viewed online here: https://collections.snm.ku.dk/en/search?dataset=5b5305ae-35d...

(edit: That online collection only seem to contain biological specimen, meteors and geological specimens are not included as far as I can tell)

The main author is the person in Linus yells at here: https://www.theregister.com/2021/06/11/linus_torvalds_vaccin...

It is not allowed with some domain names such as .DK where you can complain if you see a domain name used in that way.

A better article that is actually about the competition is this one which was on HN the other day: https://iment.com/maida/computer/redref/

Yeah there are some of those, but IBM has stuff like Ed25519 signatures, x86 at least seems to be a bit on the back foot when it comes to implementing things like that. They will probably rather wait until AES is popular before they add it.
