A photo of me (Matt Godbolt) holding the book "Performance Analysis and Tuning on Modern CPUs" in my sitting room.

Got my hard copy of Denis's awesome second edition of his performance book. It's been my go-to book for anyone interested in learning low-level performance techniques. Highly recommended: freely available as a PDF too (grab the book if you can afford it). products.easyperf.net/perf-book-2

Survival Tips For Women In Tech | Patricia Aas Who else is the only woman on their dev team?

Since apparently being a nice person is illegal in the US now, it’s time to pull out my most popular blog post ever.
It’s called “survival tips for women in tech”, but I’m told it works for all genders and in countless industries.

Scale matters: a Comparative Study of Datasets for DDoS Attack Detection in CSP Infrastructure Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) are attacks designed to take down a service by exhausting its resources. Lots of research have been carried in the past decades to desi...

Last year I published this article about #DDoS attacks ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/doc...

Diagram with large number: 2.7.123 First “2” is commented: Proud version. Bump when you are proud of the release Second “7” is commented: Default version. Just normal/okay releases Third “123” is commented: Shame version. Bump when fixing things too embarrassing to admit

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

Oui, je viens de voir ça, MERDE !

PS: Il m’a fallu 8 ans d’études pour venir à bout de toutes ces références 👀

Et j’ajouterais que lui faire faire une installation d’une gentoo ou à minima d’un Arch, c’est très formateur.

Puis un petit tour sur root-me.org et ctftime.org, ça ne peut pas faire de mal. 2/2

Et TOUT les volumes de « The Art of Programming ». Pour ce qui est vérification formelle, il y un cours de l’INRIA qui est pas mal, mais je n’ai plus le lien. Et pour les proba/stats j’ai bien aimé « Probabilités pour les non-probabilistes ». 1.5/2

Je dirais les Tanenbaum OS, Architecture des ordinateurs et celui sur le réseau. Pour la programmation côté algo le Cormen et al. Pour le C le K&R et UNIX Network Programming. Pour le Rust le livre sur le site officiel. Pour l’assembleur « From NAND to Teris » 1/2

Et en plus, si il a de l’appétence pour les maths & physiques pourquoi pas regarder tout ce qui est vérification formelle de code, comment fonctionne la couche physique en réseau, et BEAUCOUP de probabilité/statistiques

Ce documenter sur tout ce qui « bas niveau », architecture des ordinateurs, programmation assembleur et puis C puis Rust, reverse engineering, comment fonctionne les compilateurs et beaucoup de lectures sur les concepts réseaux.

Security pro tip: if you find a USB key on the ground somewhere, DO NOT plug it in to your home computer.

Take it to the office and plug it in there. They have way better software that will mitigate any threats.

We have just released the latest version of snmalloc. This release has two features I really enjoyed working on: BatchIt and a Combining Lock. I will describe these features in this post.

I've been writing a lot about the terminal recently, and I've realized that there are two kinds of rules in the terminal:

- "Laws of Terminal Physics"(that are ~always true)
- Social Rules (that only work because people mostly agree on them)

here are some of the social rules!

wow, @osnews.com wrote about my VM writings! that's so cool! 😊 www.osnews.com/story/141185...

FFmpeg devs boast of up to 94x performance boost after implementing handwritten AVX-512 assembly code https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/ffmpeg-devs-boast-of-up-to-94x-performance-boost-after-implementing-handwritten-avx-512-assembly-code

Interesting fact: at @cern.bsky.social we still back up data (Exobytes = million terabytes) on tape because it is more reliable than hard drives. They also last longer, are cheaper and much more environmentally friendly

You can buy old tapes as souvenirs🤩 📼
