Project mention: OrbStack: The fast, light, and easy way to run Docker containers and Linux | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-01
OrbStack is by far some of the best software I've encountered on Mac, but unfortunately I have difficulty convincing my employer to pay for a commercial license, and with my sparse Docker usage, I'm confined to using it only for personal/hobby usage.
What's amazing is it fixes an (almost) show stopper bug when using libuv (or software that uses it like CMake) with Rosetta 2 [1], with the bug present on all Docker/VMs I've tried except OrbStack. It just seems to get everything right.

Minecraft runs on various Javas.
And there's a known issue with an interaction between minecraft, Java, and the video drivers that crashes out and it can be traced back all the way to here: https://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues/1997
It's not fixed.

Can anyone verify that this only happens under O_DIRECT? I see that the original bug report references preadv03, a test case which uses O_DIRECT.

Project mention: CVE-2023-2163: How we found and fixed an eBPF Linux Kernel Vulnerability | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-08
DTrace and eBPF are "not so different" in the sense that dtrace programs / hooks are also a form of low-level code / instruction set that the kernel (dtrace driver) validates at load. It's an "internal" artifact of dtrace though, https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/master/usr/src/... and to my knowledge, nothing like a clang/gcc "dtrace target" exists to translate more-or-less arbitrary higher-level language "to low-level dtrace".
The additional flexibility eBPF gets from this is amazing really. While dtrace is a more-targeted (and for its intended usecases, in some situations still superior to eBPF) but also less-general tool.

Project mention: Show HN: Why is the Amiga so beloved in the demoscene? (2023 essay) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-06
Lots of Amiga concepts live on today with DragonflyBSD.
https://www.dragonflybsd.org/
And it’s shockingly performant (on par with Linux, sometimes even better), given the tiny development team.
Messaging passing, etc are core Amiga ideas that exist today only in Dfly.
