Anthony Shaw has a good comparison of Ansible, StackStorm, and Salt (with a particular view at applicability in a networking context). Here’s a quick post on nftables , the (eventual) Linux replacement for iptables. Check out this blog on work done to bring firmware updates into the land of Linux.

You get noticeably more vertical screen space, and I could comfortably stack windows side by side without ever having to zoom out. This configuration worked so well that I’m comfortable saying the i7 model is really best for developers and other power users who are coding or running desktop Linux applications.

But Epic’s dramatic public performance — an unprecedented bit of corporate trolling the likes of which we’ve never seen — sets up the feud with Apple as a fight bordering on good versus evil, with Apple the corporate bad guy aggressively taxing and restricting developers. But the comparison to Netflix or Spotify is beside the point.

Naturally, things get a lot more interesting once you download Wootility , Wooting’s companion software that’s available across Windows, Mac, and Linux. Wooting is aware of these issues, but unfortunately, it’s something that would need to be addressed by individual game developers to fix. Maybe this is an unfair comparison.

Except during that two year window, there was a serious vulnerability in OpenSSL that no one knew about. To answer these questions I’ll talk with an expert on developing security testing tools, someone who was, coincidentally, there the moment Heartbleed was discovered. I’m talking about Heartbleed or CVE 2014-0160.

It’s a Linux gaming PC that runs many but not all Windows games, on the go like a Nintendo Switch, only with way more horsepower, shorter battery life, and a seriously noisy fan.

It was not a literal time machine, but a way of capturing the software development process by recording intervals and storing them in the close. Then, when a vulnerability was discovered later on, a developer could go back in time and find the moment the fault was introduced into the code. He called it Time Stone.
