Implementing fast TCP fingerprinting with eBPF

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-23 00:59:26

In this article I want to document my journey implementing fast TCP fingerprinting in a golang webserver, using eBPF. Just to provide some background, TCP fingerprinting is one of the many techniques that can be used to detect unusual or identifying informations about a web request when implementing an anti-bot solution. This has been a hot topic lately, caused by the rising need to scrape the internet for human content to feeed to the LLMs. Implementing such a system offers interesting techn

Performance Debugging with LLVM-mca: Simulating the CPU

news.ycombinator.com Ivica Bogosavljević 2026-02-23 04:41:09

Some time ago I had a performance problem that wasn’t easy to explain by just looking at the code, since the version I expected to be faster was actually slower. Since the problem is simple yet illustrative, I am using it as a showcase on how to debug performance issues using llvm-mca. According to it’s documentation llvm-mca is a performance analysis tool that uses information available in LLVM (e.g. scheduling models) to statically measure the performance of machine code in a specific CPU.

Bloom Filters by Example

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-23 02:56:09

Bloom Filters by Example A Bloom filter is a data structure designed to tell you, rapidly and memory-efficiently, whether an element is present in a set. The price paid for this efficiency is that a Bloom filter is a probabilistic data structure: it tells us that the element either definitely is not in the set or may be in the set. The base data structure of a Bloom filter is a Bit Vector. Here's a small one we'll use to demonstrate: Each empty cell in that table represents a bit, and the nu

1500W Portable Power Station Is Cheaper Than on Black Friday, And You’ll Get a Free 200W Solar Panel Too

gizmodo.com Gizmodo Deals 2026-02-23 02:40:03

Amazon is kicking off Prime Day deals earlier this year, and the sale isn’t exclusive to Prime members: Perhaps one of the best deals of the moment is on the Jackery bundle which includes the portable power station and a 200W solar panel. Normally the power station alone is selling for $799, but here you’re getting the Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 and 200W solar panel combination for just $698. That’s a staggering 46% off the normal bundle price of $1,299, which is an all-time low for this setup.

Jon Watts Left ‘Fantastic Four’ to Get His Groove Back

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2026-02-23 05:30:24

Before Matt Shakman took over directing duties for the MCU’s first Fantastic Four movie, Jon Watts was in charge. The director of the Spider-Man: Home trilogy dropped out in 2022, and his reasons for leaving are completely valid: he had to take a much-needed break. During a recent storytelling class at the Mediterrane Film Festival, Watts revealed he was basically “out of gas” by the time he was wrapping Spider-Man: No Way Home, which was shot in the early days of the pandemic.

Trump Says “Very Wealthy People” Are Ready to Buy TikTok

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-02-23 08:33:39

Just weeks after extending the deadline for its sale for a third time, President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he has found a buyer for TikTok’s U.S. operations. The popular social media app has been under intense pressure due to a law passed in 2024 that requires its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the platform or face a nationwide ban. The legislation stems from bipartisan concern in Washington that the Chinese government could access the data of American users or use the app

At Summer Game Fest, I tried out one of the more stylish, relaxing games that made me wish I had pals on the couch to play with. But instead of a co-op adventure, Snap & Grab, as it's called, is a heist title where players take on the role of a fashionista photojournalist who steals gaudy treasures from rich doofuses to fill her penthouse. Snap & Grab is the debut title for studio No Goblin, which held its demo in publisher Annapurna Interactive's closed-door area at the annual gaming festival.

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority It’s been a few weeks since the Nintendo Switch 2 hit shelves, but if we’re being perfectly honest, there’s not much reason to buy one yet. I’ve been revisiting my OG Switch to stave off the FOMO, but I was sad to learn that my left Joy-Con now drifts so badly that Link runs in circles like he’s drunk in Breath of the Wild.

Is being bilingual good for your brain?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-22 15:50:19

R eams of papers have been published on the cognitive advantages of multilingualism. Beyond the conversational doors it can open, multilingualism is supposed to improve “executive function”, a loose concept that includes the ability to ignore distractions, plan complex tasks and update beliefs as new information arrives. Most striking, numerous studies have even shown that bilinguals undergo a later onset of dementia, perhaps of around four years, on average. But some of these studies have faile

Rollie Pemberton was barely a teenager when he started rapping. His hometown, Edmonton, didn’t have much of a hip-hop scene in the early aughts, so he honed his craft online. He plugged an old-school microphone into his mom’s desktop computer, recorded a few verses, later turned them into tracks, and sent them out into the burgeoning music blogosphere. Within a few years, he’d adopted the emcee name Cadence Weapon and earned a reputation as a shrewd critic and sharp lyricist. This work didn’t p
