rzhikharevich··on Spaghettifying DRAM
Apple’s Secure Enclave has replay protection since Apple A11.

Generally, I don’t see why a modern security platform wouldn’t have its own private SRAM to be used as a root of trust for encrypted blobs stored in shared DRAM.

rzhikharevich··on MacBook Neo
More like stockpiled a phone SoC with limited I/O
rzhikharevich··on Android's theft protection features
You can do something like this with an automation in the Shortcuts app on iOS.
rzhikharevich··on Show HN: PC Builder AI
I’ve chosen “Gaming” and $4000. What I’ve got is quite strange:

* Ryzen 5950x — a 16-core Zen 3 CPU for gaming in 2023?

* RTX 3090 for 1500 — you can get a 4090 FE for about that price

* an X570E motherboard which generally doesn’t make a lot of sense for gaming

* a 1200W PSU which is wildly overspecced for this build

rzhikharevich··on Upgrade to Linux
It may be very different. Ever tried using a touchpad on a Linux laptop?
rzhikharevich··on Upgrade to Linux
My work PC & laptop are running Linux due to development reasons and the first thing I had to do on them is setting up basic functionality such as trackpad scrolling and mitigating weird window behavior and wallpaper resetting on monitor sleep, and it is still a subpar desktop experience compared to macOS or even Windows.
rzhikharevich··on Kaspersky: Poorly detected backdoor targeting governments and NGOs around globe
Not quite sure about easterners. At least most Russians seem to have entrusted a certain former KGB agent :)
rzhikharevich··on Russia's Yandex says it repelled biggest DDoS attack in history
Probably trying to demonstrate the power of some botnet to advertise it.
rzhikharevich··on Russia Bans 1.8M Amazon and Google IPs in Attempt to Block Telegram
They do publish it, but here: http://eais.rkn.gov.ru
rzhikharevich··on George Orwell’s 1984 is currently the top selling book on Amazon
I think the West is both Brave New World (consumer society) and [partially] 1984 (mass surveillance by three-letter agencies).
rzhikharevich··on Which editor/IDE do you use and why?
iTerm2, micro (github.com/zyedidia/micro), fish, lldb, fzf, make, etc. for C, C++, Go and Rust. Xcode for Swift.
rzhikharevich··on ThinkPad X1 Carbon
Am I correct that "Signature Edition" means no Linux?

rzhikharevich··on Apple removing battery life estimates following MacBook Pro complaints
You can still use this though.

rzhikharevich··on Spotify is writing massive amounts of junk data to storage drives
Isn't that a dupe? Why don't people use Google (or something with a similar directive) with "site:$URL" before posting links here?
rzhikharevich··on Switching from MacOS: Developer Environment
No split panes in the terminal application?
rzhikharevich··on What the Heck Is Happening at Apple?
> As Steve Jobs (and Picasso) said, they are stolen.

AFAIK, Picasso didn't.

rzhikharevich··on The Mac Platform Decline
Does your rMBP come with a discrete GPU?
rzhikharevich··on Operating Systems
> a method to get "mouse hover" events working on touch devices

As far as I know, an example is Apple's 3D Touch.

rzhikharevich··on Female chess players forced to wear hijab at world championship in Iran
Sounds completely illogical to me. So why don't they force the participants to convert to Islam then, if they want them to conform to its dogmas anyways?
rzhikharevich··on How Tux the Penguin Ruined It for Linux
What nonsense have I just read?
rzhikharevich··on Rust: The New LLVM
The advantage of iterators is the abstraction. Collections like maps and sets don't even have indexes.
rzhikharevich··on Rust: The New LLVM
Isn't GCJ obsolete and dead?
rzhikharevich··on HyperTerm – JS/HTML/CSS Terminal
Personally, I dislike the march of the web technologies towards the desktop. I think, we forgot what they're intended to be used for.
rzhikharevich··on .DS_Store files always hidden from Finder in macOS Sierra Beta
That's great. .DS_Store was the reason why I stick with the default setting of not showing hidden files.
rzhikharevich··on .DS_Store files always hidden from Finder in macOS Sierra Beta
I recently tested APFS on a USB stick, "ls -A" hasn't shown any .DS_Store files.
rzhikharevich··on Poll: What Programming Language Do You Use for Server Side Web Development?
Doesn't Go fit these requirements?
rzhikharevich··on Apple File System
As of the first macOS Sierra developer beta version there are no .DS_Store files on APFS volumes.
rzhikharevich··on Swift 3.0 Release Process
What I really miss is a proper compiler for Swift. I've encountered two bugs in the last few days: one in the IRGen and the other one in the TypeChecker. That can be really annoying. And that error "expression is too complex to evaluate" is just ridiculous.
rzhikharevich··on Google.com partially dangerous
Interestingly, google.ru is "Not dangerous".
