With ReactOS being around and given such a small target audience I don't expect this will go far.

To be honest I wonder if this ends up being part of some CTF challenge

From official advisory at https://security.paloaltonetworks.com/CVE-2024-3400, I smiled to that one:

"If you are unable to apply the Threat Prevention based mitigation at this time, you can still mitigate the impact of this vulnerability by temporarily disabling device telemetry"

There's a single dot in a line between #include <sys/prcntl.h> and void my_sandbox(void). It is easy to miss, but makes the compile to fail, thus resulting in HAVE_LINUX_LANDLOCK to be never enabled.

Can someone explain to n00bs like me: what's "landlock" anyway and why is it significant here?

It's a Linux Security Module that allows to sandbox processes: https://docs.kernel.org/userspace-api/landlock.html

prctl, not prcntl

There are probably cases where plain text email is enough (linux kernel development seems to be doing fine), but once you enter corporate world HTML and all its goodies bring a lot of benefits.

(HTML) "Please have a look at this table (table pasted inline to email) and compare the results with previous run (another table inline)"

(plain text) "Please have a look at attached table (table1.xlsx) and compare the results with previous run (table2.xlsx)"

Sure, both bring the same information but the former gives you all the information immediately.

Dedicated devops/sysadmin looking for a full/part time project where I could help you and your team deliver your project on time.

  Location: Poland
  Remote: Strongly preferred
  Willing to relocate: Yes
  Technologies: PHP, JavaScript, C#, SQL, Python, Shell scripting, Docker, Kubernetes
  Email: 1cgh5iyqr@mozmail.com

I am a self taught programmer that turned into devops/sysadmin, but never fully took programmer hat off - I am still maintaining few commercial projects I developed over past few years.

As a sysadmin I was hired for various projects, most recently I was a de-facto co-lead of a group of 7 admins - our job was to maintain (with on-call duties) fleet of applications spread over 300 servers making sure it works, troubleshooting and reporting to management when it didn't. The technology stack was a mix of old and new - HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, Windows, Docker, Kubernetes, Weblogic, Wildfly, Tomcat, Java, Python, Shell scripting.

Looking for a job where I could wear my both programmer and sysadmin hats.

this is what we are really missing, something like: "here are 'good enough' cmd line args that you can use to boot $OS with qemu". Quickemu seems to try to help here.

That's a sad news for the Vim community. Given that development was basically focused around Bram, it makes me wonder, what will happen with Vim now?

WIll someone step up and continue to develop Vim, or it will fade away and Neovim take its place?

I believe there is a development team actually in place but they probably have to decide the way forward now. I have little doubt it will continue.

Looking at the commit history, Bram was responsible for the majority of the development. Interestingly, the second most active vim contributor is a neovim developer (possibly porting fixes from neovim).

It seems to me that others often did preparatory work on the patches that he committed. For example:

https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/c12e4eecbb26cedca96e0810d3...

https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/12553

Hopefully something is in place with this official repo and we don't get a bunch of forks all over github. RIP Bram

I used bluej for a while - it was fine as your first IDE as it does not have tons of bells and whistle that overwhelms you. Obviously, as time passes and your skills improve, you will look for better tools. But BlueJ does its job.

I sailed away from java world, which IDEs are being used now? IntelliJ, Netbeans, Eclipse?

IntelliJ is really popular. Eclipse and Netbeans much less so. IntelliJ profits from “networking effects” from other Jetbrains IDEs like WebStorm, CLion etc.

Yeah IntelliJ by far is the most popular at the moment. We have been recommended to use it even by our university (in Italy) for the exam "Algorithms and data structures in Java".

Personally I use Eclipse whenever I need to dig into Java codebases these days, though a recent HN thread made me consider giving Netbeans another go.

Highly recommend.

Just to show support for corbet and his team. He could keep the articles paywalled forever, but is making them free after a week. Becoming a paying member is our way to say thank you for his fair attitude (and keeping ads at minimum level).

I work at totaly different field in IT, most articles are just "wow, that's interesting" for me and - I still keep LWN's subscriptionm and it is the only one I have.
