Accelerated Zig Parser A high-throughput tokenizer and parser (soon™️) for the Zig programming language. The mainline Zig tokenizer uses a deterministic finite state machine. Those are pretty good for some applications, but tokenizing can often employ the use of other techniques for added speed. Two tokenizer implementations are provided. A version that produces a few bitstrings per 64-byte chunk and uses those to skip over continuation-character matching. I gave two talks on this subject. (

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile disabled self-service SIM card changes in 2022 to implement new security measures against SIM swap attacks. Although the carrier initially said this was a temporary change, T-Mobile subscribers are still required to contact support to change SIM cards. A new report suggests that T-Mobile may finally enable self-service SIM swaps via the T-Life app later this month. T-Mobile currently requires subscribers to contact support or visit a nearby
