This photo of the iPhone 17 Pro Max in Cosmic Orange was taken with the telephoto lens on an iPhone 17 Pro Max. Jason Hiner/ZDNET The idea of "tyranny of choice" says that having a set of good choices is supposed to let everyone find exactly what makes them most happy, but the reality is that having so many good choices can often lead to anxiety, indecisiveness, and discontent. If we apply this concept to the iPhone 17 lineup, then Apple is quite the tyrant this year. After all, the base model

What Makes System Calls Expensive: A Linux Internals Deep Dive

news.ycombinator.com Abhinav Upadhyay 2025-09-20 13:53:21

Cover: A Flamegraph highlighting performance overhead due to system calls System calls are how user programs talk to the operating system. They include opening files, reading the current time, creating processes, and more. They’re unavoidable, but they’re also not cheap. If you’ve ever looked at a flame graph, you’ll notice system calls often show up as hot spots. Engineers spend a lot of effort cutting them down, and whole features such as io_uring for batching I/O or eBPF for running code in

PyPI Blog: Token Exfiltration Campaign via GitHub Actions Workflows

Token Exfiltration Campaign via GitHub Actions Workflows Summary I recently responded to an attack campaign where malicious actors injected code into GitHub Actions workflows attempting to steal PyPI publishing tokens. PyPI was not compromised, and no PyPI packages were published by the attackers. Attackers targeted a wide variety of repositories, many of which had PyPI tokens stored as GitHub secrets, modifying their workflows to send those tokens to external servers. While the attackers suc

The UK has struck a defense deal with US spy-tech biz Palantir, which the government says will unlock £1.5 billion ($2 billion) of investment in Britain. The arrangement emerged during the fanfare of US president Donald Trump's state visit to the UK, and accompanies a string of announcements by American tech A-listers, with promises the government claimed would be worth £31 billion ($42 billion) for AI and tech infrastructure.

What's the limit of what can be in a TXT record? Some places say 255 bytes. They are wrong. Within a TXT record there are multiple character-strings (RFC 1035 section 3.3.14) and those are limited in length (because a single byte is used for their length), however there can be many of them. The actual limit is limited by the size of the DNS payload, which for UDP is these days around 1232 bytes. That is obviously quite low.

When Non-Avian Dinosaurs Went Extinct, the Earth Changed—Literally. Scientists Think They Finally Know Why

Rocks formed immediately before and after non-avian dinosaurs went extinct are strikingly different, and now, tens of millions of years later, scientists think they’ve identified the culprit—and it wasn’t the Chicxulub asteroid impact. In a study published Monday in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, researchers argue that dinosaurs physically influenced their surroundings so dramatically that their disappearance led to stark changes to the Earth’s landscape, and, in turn, the geol

For more than a decade now, climate-friendly policy has protected and boosted the American electric vehicle industry.

Now, all of that is due to expire on September 30. Trump began his attack on the EV tax credit as his first order of business as President.

‘Shelby Oaks’ Puts a Satisfying, Scary Spin on the Found Footage Genre

One of the best things about the found footage genre can also be one of its most frustrating. By its very nature, classic found footage movies can never answer all your questions because the camera has to stop. The footage almost always ends with some big, scary revelation, but things can’t go beyond that because….well, the footage had to be found.
