kunley··on TCP Use-After-Free: CVE-2026-98432 / CVSS 9.8
Btw, one can switch it off for Go programs not only with env variable, but also in go.mod:

    godebug multipathtcp=0
That's cool
kunley··on TCP Use-After-Free: CVE-2026-98432 / CVSS 9.8
This particular page (and other pages at altasum.net) is a CPU hog.

It usually means: suspicious activity or poor taste or disregard for web standards, or a combination of these.

There is a plenty of information on that CVE from other places.

kunley··on Type Safe Generic Data Structures in C (2025)
You seem to be asking question "why people use hacks in C instead of coding in other languages which are more C++ like". Then you describe what is to be C++ like. Well, maybe the issue is that certain people precisely want to avoid the features you just described. Have you considered that?
kunley··on GitLab Outage
It was updated at least 5 minutes after I noticed the outage first. Guess it's typical organisation lag
kunley··on Pentagon says overreliance on AI contributed to missile strike on Iran school
There is a push to use ai unconditionally and without verification to prove how much it's useful.

If the problem are human behaviours around ai, that is: eagerness to see the results (both military and Palantir), greediness to make money (Palantir), then the ai becomes the root of the problem.

kunley··on The darker side of being a doctor
Same corporate-greedy shit as everywhere but harder, because it's dealing with suffering and death.
kunley··on Sublime Text Build 4213
Not very much following the forums, but the pace they are producing things is fine. What is "basic usability thing" for you, might be something unimportant for the rest. How the team sets the priorities might be just fine for a lot of users..
kunley··on Sublime Text Build 4213
Ditto
kunley··on Microsoft exec called AI scraping 'the largest theft of labor in human history'
But what about M$ owning Github and doing the same with its content? Github even did not deny scanning private repositories. (Gitlab denied the same when asked). So...
kunley··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
Raygum appears to be refreshingly nice place! Thanks
kunley··on I were 17, I'd learn how to build LLMs from scratch
You apparently have no intuition on what the intuition is
kunley··on Stop Making TUIs
What is the complaint in the article really about?

People write code using the platform X because they like it. It doesn't make sense to try to stop this

kunley··on Saying No
Teaching, yes: one should stand for what's important and there might be costs, one should do that despite the costs. Life is not only about gaining some short-term things.
kunley··on Ruby Central's Destructive Legacy
Btw, I heard Matz&co had taken over rubygems.org, right?
kunley··on Netflix employee fired for sharing personal details in retreat trust exercise
Disagree. It's just admitting that the company can and will be cynical when it comes to the conflict of interests between them and the employee.

Making friends at the workplace is fine until there is such conflict, then where will they stand? If they will turn they back on you (and most of them will), then how much is such relation worth in the first place?

kunley··on A shell colon does nothing. Use it anyway
Well said, esp. the last paragraph about the Microsoft strategy.
kunley··on A shell colon does nothing. Use it anyway
Cool!

Btw, can the sequence :? be called "reverse Elvis" ?

kunley··on I regret migrating to Codeberg
Making decisions based on distinguishing A from B is a legit thing to do. Complaining that it's "telling what's right and wrong" is a strawman argument IMO. It's about choices: they made a choice and many users are/will be joufully making the compatible choice.

Yes but for the purpose of mentioned ISO 8601, the start of the week is assumed to be Monday.
kunley··on This blog is written in en-GB
I discovered just this week that the numbering of weeks within the year is different between US and Europe, thus, cal -w can show different numbers for some years depending on the locale. Outlook can probably also show different things depending on the system settings.

Europe uses the algo according to the ISO 8601 standard, where the week no.1 is the one with January 1st occuring between Monday and Thursday, inclusive. If the 1st happens on Friday or later within a week, it's considered a week no.52 or 53 of the previous year.

US does not use this scheme and [EDITED] I am not sure what method is applied there.

Some companies use week numbers in business talks, planning and scheduling, so be aware who is speaking about which weeks!

kunley··on Show HN: A pure ARM64 Assembly web server, now on Linux with CGI for no reason
Ahh, this little gem ported to Linux, great! That opens much more possibilities to play with it, thanks
kunley··on Show HN: A pure-Ruby X11 terminal
No worries. My impression was, the premise of your articles was not (at least not initially) a compiler for a fullest Ruby with all of its intricacies, but rather showing a great technique how to tackle a problem. For me and few of my pals it was an inspiring eye-opener. We were coming from the 8bit era and had our hands dirty in assembly before, yet your approach showed we can do a lot of low-level stuff in a modern Unix setup.

Kudos for your work - and I guess you've had a lot of fun as well

kunley··on Show HN: A pure-Ruby X11 terminal
I just connected the dots. You're the guy who constructed a direct Ruby-to-assembly compiler some time ago, right?
kunley··on Spoiling Linux Kernel with "sanctioned" code
The story remotely reminds me about this gold:

What is this: does not ring, and does not fit in the ass..? Soviet device for ringing in the ass.

Infinitely more funny if you lived on the east side of the iron curtain.

What Joe Armstrong et al took from Prolog is mainly the syntax.
