An absolutely impressive achievement. I echo sentiments seen in other HN threads recently -- "I'd never do in-place FS upgrades!" -- yet Apple pulled it off on billions of devices with zero fanfare. Folk have scores of stores about btrfs/ZFS/etc issues, I don't recall similarly for APFS?

You’re right re: implementation —- I’m drawing a conclusion solely from the coordinated disclosure that it’s a similar crypto/TLS issue.

If the Go issues were distinct I’d imagine they’d choose a different day to disclose/release?

I adore Go, but it seems to be impacted too: https://groups.google.com/g/golang-announce/c/dRtDK7WS78g

For a different perspective of the same issue: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32471624

(don't be fooled by the article's title, I regret I was the first time around)

This one's pretty cool, example below per gzip-1.12/tests/zgrep-abuse:

  timdoug@box:~/gzip$ ls
  timdoug@box:~/gzip$ touch z
  timdoug@box:~/gzip$ echo test | gzip > 'z|
  p
  1s|.*|chosen-content|
  1w hacked
  etouch .\x2fhacked2
  d
  #
  #'
  timdoug@box:~/gzip$ zgrep test z*
  ztest
  timdoug@box:~/gzip$ ls hack*
  hacked  hacked2
  timdoug@box:~/gzip$ cat hacked
  chosen-content
  timdoug@box:~/gzip$

I'll throw in a plug for the tool I've written, unpkg: https://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/

Earlier today I wrote some documentation on setting up WireGuard on macOS, it may be useful: https://www.timdoug.com/log/2018/08/04/#wireguard_macos

Happy to answer questions if anything's unclear.

As the SRE writing the blog post on disk lifecycle, I can confirm it amongst others are in flight. :)

Related: "The Manual (How to Have a Number One the Easy Way) is a 1988 book by The Timelords (Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty), better known as The KLF. It is a step by step guide to achieving a No.1 single with no money or musical skills, and a case study of the duo's UK novelty pop No. 1 'Doctorin' the Tardis'."

A bit of historical context: this paper came out in 2003, the same year NPTL (in RH9) and Linux 2.6.0 (first stable kernel with epoll, 2.5.44 introduced it in 2002) were released.

Party on HN! Sorry I'm late. :)

Nope -- I've had that exact app working like a charm across multiple devices and OS updates.

Peninsula, Palo Alto, North Bay, and East Bay, I'd imagine.

It's totally acceptable and very common: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit...

What's the benefit of doing SSL/TLS in the application instead of using a dedicated terminator like stud?

What's wrong with:

  find . -type f -exec md5sum {} \;

http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/ or http://i-funbox.com, for example.

To be fair, that line does work everywhere; the unrecognized ciphers are just ignored. In fact, on my Debian VPS with OpenSSL 0.9.8 it results in the exact same list of ciphers as the Apache one given in the post ("openssl ciphers" on the command line is very useful).

May as well add the newer ones to get the support if you upgrade your SSL library without having to change your Apache/nginx/etc. conf.

Love it. It would be nice to be able to subscribe to certain specific time frames, e.g., over the weekend; it's much easier to impulsively travel then while holding down a traditional full-time position. Nevertheless, subscribed!

brocombinator.com -- anybody interested?

It looks like it requires iOS 6, so I won't be able to play it on my 1st gen iPad. Sad times!

That latter video is one of my favorites on YouTube: Senna on Suzuka in an NSX wearing loafers! His skill is truly unmatched, but to be fair, heel-and-toeing is a rather common technique in performance driving. Hell, I do so to match revs on every 3->2 downshift before a corner when driving around town, and I wouldn't call myself a skilled driver.

eBay. :)

I can suggest the sadly deliberately undocumented (viz. src/mongo/db/db.cpp:719) "--nopreallocj" option, as well.

Well sure, but it's just zeroing free blocks; that's the same operation (with the same desired outcome) whether you're using the disk image in a virtual machine or as an encrypted loopback device.

For zeroing unused blocks, I can suggest zerofree: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/zerofree
