The Linux Kernel Looks To “Bite The Bullet” In Enabling Microsoft C Extensions

The Linux Kernel Looks To “Bite The Bullet” In Enabling Microsoft C Extensions

πŸš€ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ Category: πŸ“Œ Here’s what you’ll learn: Two patches queued into the Linux kernel's build system development tree, kbuild-next, would enable the -fms-extensions compiler argument everywhere for allowing GCC and LLVM/Clang to use the Microsoft C Extensions when compiling the Linux kernel. Being in kbuild-next these patches will likely be submitted for the Linux 6.19 kernel merge window next month but remains to be seen if there will be any last minute objections to this change. The -fms-extensions compiler option honored by the GNU Compiler Collection and LLVM/Clang allow enabling…

Europe deciding whether 6 GHz is Wi-Fi or cellular space β€’ The Register

✨ Explore this must-read post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ Category: βœ… Main takeaway: A row is brewing in Europe over the 6 GHz part of the wireless spectrum, between those who believe it should be licensed for use by cellular networks and others that want it reserved for Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi Alliance and the Dynamic Spectrum Alliance (DSA) have published open letters addressed to "EU digital ministers," expressing concerns that the upper 6 GHz band (6425 to 7125 MHz) may be rendered off-limits to Wi-Fi networks in European Union countries. At the heart of the problem is that newer…

DNS Provider Quad9 Sees Piracy Blocking Orders as “Existential Threat” * TorrentFreak

πŸ’₯ Discover this must-read post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ Category: βœ… Main takeaway: Home > Anti-Piracy > Site Blocking > Non-profit DNS resolver Quad9 reports that legal battles over pirate site blocking have become an "existential threat" to its service. In a recent blog post, the Swiss foundation argues that while tech giants like Google and Cloudflare can absorb the legal and engineering costs, smaller organizations cannot. The warning comes after Quad9 decided not to represent itself at a French court due to a lack of financial resources. In May 2024, the Paris Judicial Court ordered Google, Cloudflare, and…

Microsoft’s lack of quality control is out of control β€’ The Register

Microsoft’s lack of quality control is out of control β€’ The Register

πŸ”₯ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ Category: πŸ’‘ Main takeaway: OPINION I have a habit of ironically referring to Microsoft's various self-induced whoopsies as examples of the company's "legendary approach to quality control." While the robustness of Windows NT in decades past might qualify as "legendary", anybody who has had to use the company's wares in recent years might quibble with the word "quality." As repeated Azure outages due to configuration errors have shown, "control" is perhaps also inappropriate these days. It's difficult to pinpoint precisely where it went wrong for Microsoft when it comes…

The owner was in Cambridge, not far from me, and the computer was an HP 9000/300 Series - a Model 340, specifically. The HP 9000 line of workstations and servers ran from the early 1980s through to the late 2000s (see this great history page at openpa.net for more details). It encompassed many processor architectures, including Itanium, HP's…

Realtime BART Arrival Display | Semicolons & Side Projects

πŸš€ Explore this trending post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ Category: βœ… Here’s what you’ll learn: I have a love-hate relationship with BART. I’m grateful for it, but let’s just say it’s not always the most reliable so it’s nice to see before hand when the train you need is due to arrive. There are plenty of projects out there that show real-time BART arrival information. This one does that too, it’s nothing groundbreaking, but I wanted to build my own version that captures the vintage BART platform sign vibe I associate with commuting between the East Bay and my…

πŸ’₯ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ Category: πŸ’‘ Here’s what you’ll learn: I really enjoy procedural generation, especially systems designed to work with hardware outputs. After starting work at Formlabs in September of 2023 and gaining access to much nicer printers than I was used to, I started wanting to tackle some large algorithmic structure projects. Complexity is free in 3d printing, the limit of design geometry is mostly how much time you’re willing to spend in CAD. I wanted to print the most complicated art piece I could think of. Marble Fountain is what…
