I had plans for several long articles for the summer that gone, but unfortunately not many have came of that. But last night I have stumbled upon famous (so it seems, th...

The Rust programming language is best-known for its memory-related type system features that encode ownership and borrowing: these ensure memory safety (no dangling pointers), and also enforce a kind of “mutual exclusion” discipline that allows for provably safe parallelism.

In my security research I often come across weird quirks and behaviours that aren’t particularly useful beyond a neat party trick. It’s always a good idea to keep track of them though, perhaps one day they’ll be just the missing piece you need. Untitled presentation FileEditViewInsertFormatSlideArrangeToolsExtension...

I’ve known about the Berners-Lee Poster Session for a while, but in case you all don’t, here’s the skinny: as late as December 1991 belief in Tim-Berners Lee’s World Wide Web idea was low enough that a paper he submitted on the subject to the Hypermedia ’91 conference in San Antonio, TX was bumped down to a poster s...

Table of contents I have a couple of people who are best reachable on the Signal messaging app, but not that many. This exposes me to an awkward edge case of Signal’s design decisions: Whenever I get a message (on my phone), I want to reply to it (on my laptop) only to discover that Signal has un-linked my laptop be...

This post is part 2 of a 3-part series on some "real" results that I've gotten from my Kubernetes simulator project called SimKube. If you recall from last week, I also announced that SimKube has matured to v1.0.0, which is quite exciting! Of course this doesn't mean that SimKube is done, but it does mean that I thi...
