Oh, rejoice! Yet another tech savior emerges from the depths of Linux 4.18, promising to liberate us from the shackles of locks and atomics ⚙️💥. But wait, it requires handwritten assembly code—because, who needs simplicity? 🤦‍♂️ Looking forward to the day when everything is rewritten for #rseq, just like we anticipated for every other fleeting buzzword of the past decade. 😂

Restartable Sequences

All languages will change to express restartable sequences, and all software will be rewritten to use them.

There are two UNIVAC 1219B computers that have survived since the 1960s and one of them is even operational. [Nathan Farlow] wanted to run a Minecraft server on it, so he did. After a lot of work, …

#AssemblyCode von 1986, #Sicherheitslücke von heute: Azure CTO Russinovich ließ #Claude Opus 4.6 seinen Apple-II-Code von 1986 analysieren – und fand einen seit Jahrzehnten schlummernden Logikfehler.

Das Problem: Milliarden #Legacy-Mikrocontroller laufen weltweit auf fragiler Firmware in Krankenhäusern und kritischer Infrastruktur. Viele sind unpatchbar.

#KI macht solche Schwachstellen nun industriell auffindbar – Legacy Code wird zum #Cybersecurity-Problem von morgen:

AI is getting scary good at finding hidden software bugs - even in decades-old code

But AI also creates bugs - about 1.7 times as many as humans, including critical and major issues.

Ah, the Bao I/O Coprocessor: because what the world really needed was another "open source" #SoC that only a PhD in ancient hieroglyphics could fully decipher. 😏 Who wouldn't want to wade through endless Raspberry Pi comparisons before being rewarded with assembly code that would make even a seasoned developer weep? 🎉
