But how will you use it? Nobody's broadcasting analog any more.

Ugh. The syslog protocol is so, so bad. Somebody at UC Berkeley must've been on some heavy narcotics.

If #Trump loses the election, and the USA survives this attempt to destroy it, then it will have been by the sheer luck and/or grace of God that those trying to overthrow the United States and institute a #fascist #dictatorship chose a senile, incoherent old man as their figurehead.

Even if our #democracy survives this assault, we will have come far too close to losing it forever. I don't like surviving by the skin of my teeth. Our defenses must be shored up somehow.

To illustrate this point: two women, Alyssa Rosenzweig and Asahi Lina, are the main reason you can run Linux on an ARM Mac right now, complete with GPU acceleration.

Maybe, but that sounds like a *giant* footgun for timing-attack vulnerabilities. Merely changing the compiler version could create one, nevermind compiling for a new ISA.

I didn't say it's easy to implement such a thing, but it is absolutely necessary.

Why the hell do compilers *still* not have a “this code must execute in constant time, no matter what, and I want a compile error if that's impossible” declaration?
