The growth is exponential - each backslash becomes two in the next iteration. Thus after n iterations we have 2^n - 1 backslashes, and we only need 30 iterations to hit a gigabyte (and that's assuming only one quotation mark in the original JSON).

I tested this and on a new enough OpenSSH client, the RSA key gets replaced using the mechanism described here: https://lwn.net/Articles/637156/ (if you connect using a key other than RSA).

To be honest, I'd expect something like this to be mentioned in the announcement.

Asahi is specifically about arm64.

Do you perhaps have any affiliation to disclose? This reads like ad copy.

They say the access got closed before publication.

The name didn't get coined here - there are Sharp datasheets documenting this core, and they use the name SM83.

My favorite solution is Tup, which uses FUSE to observe exactly which files each command is reading. That way it's impossible to write a Tupfile for which incremental builds don't work properly.

Yeah, tries are special cases of FSMs, and so are DAWGs.

That is a common misconception. The destructor runs at the end of the scope. Try putting a println in a drop impl.

That's somewhat similar to what I'm doing with Miniforth [0]. Programming in a minimal environment is fun. I don't have a separate machine, so I'm booting my main laptop from a thumbdrive. The difference in boot time is staggering – after BIOS loads the boot sector, everything else is instant. This is instrumental to my strategy for tricking myself into working on the project – normally, I'm very prone to going off into a research rabbit hole after taking a look at the wrong browser tab. So, instead, I make sure to power off my machine in the evenings. That way, booting into miniforth becomes the option with less friction (:

Unfortunately, this does not work for writing the blog about the project. Hopefully this will change soon, once I write an editor and filesystem...

Nah, it's just that the target audience ("investors") won't care about the few bucks.

Sounds like something that'd be interesting to try out, but not with a $200 price tag.

Wait, I don't follow. NEC had a license for the Intel chips, but then got sued for producing a chip like the 8086?
