And now in PostgreSQL 14 there is this seemingly small update, pipeline mode, which, according to the docs, allows applications to send a query without having to read the result of the previously sent query. Taking advantage of the pipeline mode, […]

An update on Memory Safety in Chrome

The Google security blog provides an overview of what is being done to address memory-safety problems in the Chrome browser. In parallel, we’ll be exploring whether we can use a memory safe language for parts of Chrome in the future. The leading contender is Rust, invented by our friends at Mozilla. This is (largely) compile-time safe; that is, the Rust comp […]

[$] Weaponizing middleboxes

Middleboxes are, unfortunately in many ways, a big part of today's internet. While middleboxes inhabit the same physical niche as routers, they are not aimed at packet forwarding; instead they are meant to monitor and manipulate the packets that they see. The effects of those devices on users of the networks they reign over may be unfortunate as well, b […]

Hoyt: Structural pattern matching in Python 3.10

Ben Hoyt has published a critical overview of the Python 3.10 pattern-matching feature. As shown above, there are cases where match really shines. But they are few and far between, mostly when handling syntax trees and writing parsers. A lot of code does have if ... elif chains, but these are often either plain switch-on-value, where elif works almost as wel […]
