I'd pick a 10-year-old desktop running Linux over a new $300 Windows laptop every time
AI summary
Một máy để bàn Linux 10 tuổi vẫn vượt trội hơn laptop Windows giá 300 đô la mới. Ngay cả với CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 năm 2007, nó vẫn xử lý tốt tác vụ văn phòng nhờ kernel Linux tối ưu. Hệ điều hành Windows mới trên máy rẻ thường bị chậm do phần cứng yếu và phần mềm bloatware. Bài viết minh chứng rõ ràng rằng hiệu năng không phụ thuộc vào độ mới của thiết bị mà vào hiệu quả hệ thống. Lập trình viên nên cân nhắc lựa chọn phần cứng cũ nhưng mạnh mẽ thay vì máy rẻ mới nhưng yếu.

sbom-cve-check 1.4.0 released
sbom-cve-check 1.4.0 has been released, adding an OpenVEX exporter and improving Linux kernel CVE analysis and version parsing. The new openvex export type, contributed by Andrey Zhizhikin, generates OpenVEX v0.2.0 documents with VEX assessments, configurable via a new --export-author option. Kernel CVE handling now distinguishes mainline versions like 6.12 from stable versions like 6.12.34 to reduce false positives and negatives. Version parsing also gained support for formats like 0.9~rc5 and Ubuntu-style suffixes, and build metadata like 1.25.0+4f85853f64 is now ignored per semver rules. Install or upgrade with pip install --upgrade "sbom-cve-check[extra]".

What is malloc doing, anyway?
malloc has a very nice and simple interface: you ask for a certain amount of memory, and you’re given a void pointer to your block of contiguous bytes that’s been magicked into existence. Once you’re done with it, you call free with the same pointer and the memory disappears into the ether.
