The meson build is across multiple files, you should add together:

  meson.build
  meson_options.txt
  doc/meson.build
  egl/meson.build
  src/meson.build
  tests/meson.build
  cursor/meson.build
  doc/doxygen/meson.build
  doc/publican/meson.build
  doc/doxygen/xml/meson.build
  doc/publican/sources/meson.build
  doc/doxygen/xml/Client/meson.build
  doc/doxygen/xml/Server/meson.build

Is that low or high?

Historically?

1. Because TLS certificates were not free

2. Because firewall was "enough" in most people's minds

3. Because TLS was the most CPU intensive part of serving a static site

4. Because some people were using cheap shared hosting providers that upcharged for TLS

The answer today is more than one node (instance/kernel running)

> splice() is the fastest and most efficient way to transfer data through pipes (on Linux), especially for large volumes. It bypasses memory allocations in userspace (as opposed to read(v)/write(v)), there is no extra buffer management logic, there is no memcpy() or iovec traversal.

Proper use of io_uring should finally have it beat or at least matched.

> are suppression files ever actually used due to an actual false positive,

There used to be one in LuaJIT because it had an optimized string comparison that compared outside of the allocation (which is allowed by the OS as long as you don't cross a page boundary, which LuaJIT's allocation algorithm made sure it never did)

The suppression was removed in https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/commit/ff34b48ddd6f2b3bdd26... when the string hashing got a new implementation

For most merchants/terminals, only amex cards tend to send level 3 data.

The trouble is, as far as I know, that the ME cannot be deactivated. Even if you are a really sensitive network. Your option is to find some of the few Intel chips without it, or find another chip vendor. This often means you can't use common off the shelf systems, so now you can be a victim of a targetted supply chain attack.

I've had precisely the opposite happen: the NVIDIA driver had always been janky, either preventing standby,or not playing nice with my kernel, or some other weird incompatibility, while nouveau has been rock solid. This is across multiple desktops and laptops over multiple generations of card.

Without nouveau id actively refuse a laptop with an NVIDIA GPU in it.

Often if you send 3 large useful PRS to a corporate open source product you will find an email in your inbox asking to connect.

Send a couple more high quality PRs and you can likely leverage that into a job.

ECR pull through caching is only possible for other ECR repos or quay.io. you cannot use it for Docker hub.
