My colleagues at Trail of Bits and I wrote an LLVM RFC about constant-time coding support in Clang and LLVM! I’d love to have folks with opinions on this topic, who are interested to, comment on the RFC 💚 https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-constant-time-coding-support/87781
[RFC] Constant-Time Coding Support

Constant-Time Coding Support Summary We (@kumarak, @frabert, @hbrodin, @wizardengineer, and myself of Trail of Bits) propose a Clang “constant-time selection” builtin for cryptographers to use to ensure that their compiled C and C++ code selects between values in constant time consistently across target architectures. Our builtin will selectively bypass optimizations that are beneficial for most compiled code but that can replace intended constant-time operations with variable-time jumps or bran...

We conducted a 4-month comparative performance assessment of OpenSearch and Elasticsearch. Results show OpenSearch 2.17.1 is 1.6x faster than Elasticsearch 8.15.4 on Big5 workloads. OpenSearch excels in date histograms (16.5x faster) and term aggregations (3.4x faster), while Elasticsearch performs better in text queries (2.4x faster). Both engines show significant outliers.

Benchmarking OpenSearch and Elasticsearch

This post concludes a four-month performance study of OpenSearch and Elasticsearch search engines across realistic scenarios using OpenSearch Benchmark (OSB). Our full report includes the detailed findings and comparison results of several versions of these two applications.

Had some fun playing as the Commander who goes through the Conduit to the Citadel, saves the Council, then uses Cerberus to fight the Collectors before connecting the Crucible to the Catalyst to complete the game.

A Canadian named Casey created it.

ok, got most of it. but I'm too tired to brain through it right now.
