Как я отучил оракула молоть околесицу про ГОСТы: сказ о doc-rag без единого (почти) заморского слова

Дело моё — программы писать, а сходиться им положено с мастеровой грамотой: ГОСТами, СТО, спецификациями. Хочу спросить оракула в писарне про точный пункт — получаю складную околесицу со ссылками на то, чего никто не писал. Тогда я сложил себе doc-rag: местную снасть для извлечения премудрости из собственных свитков. Внутри — устройство, грабли, история про утраченный указатель и попытка рассказать всё это без единого заморского слова. Распахнуть свиток Read more

Rust Will Save Linux From AI, Says Greg Kroah-Hartman

Linux stable kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman says Rust can help Linux deal with a flood of AI-discovered security bugs (namely Dirty Frag, Copy Fail, and Fragnesia) by preventing common C mistakes around memory, locking, error handling, and untrusted data at build time rather than during human review. It's "not a silver bullet" and does not mean rewriting the whole kernel, but he said new drivers and subsystems will increasingly use... Read more
