I have stocked my fridge with soft tofu tubes, a bunch of spring onions, some other veg, and I have a bunch of other bits ready for tomorrow's Kimchi Tofu Stew cooking effort @codethink -- I hope the Codethings bellies are ready.

Yes, they look a bit like slimy hard brain lumps -- but chestnuts are delicious.

Today's #adventofcode really kicked my arse. @ericwastl writes some fiendish puzzles from time to time. This one takes way too long for my solution to run (3+ seconds) so I'm going to have to get my optimisation hat on.

today in "fucky things your CPU might do to fuck up your crypto": Intel SA-00219 is a bug where an integrated GPU has access to the first two DWORDs in cache lines so apparently you have to 8-byte align and allocate 8 bytes extra for garbage before any cryptographic secrets

I ran the Bolton Bauble 10k trail with Phil and @reiterative and it was hard. Final time was 1:18:49. Before and after pics included. I only fell over five times.

For FUCKSAKE the plane is supposed to take off in 8 minutes and catering STILL ISN'T HERE

Now United can't marshall their catering to the plane, despite knowing when it'd be ready for them. How is this company not bankrupt?

Update: Our United plane is now 1h late, jeopardising our transfer in Frankfurt. The fuck?

Oh fuck. My lufthansa flight has been bumped onto United. I am probably going to die. Not sure if that is better, or worse, than going back to the UK now.

This morning I was reminded this morning of an incident this week. I was laughed at for writing sci-fi/fantasy as an author. β€œYou do know you’re an adult that lives in the real world don’t you?” So just to prove a point, retweet if you’re an adult who reads sci-fi/fantasy.

Jesus suppurating fuck, will the horror never end?
We present #plundervolt TL;DR First ever fault injection attack on Intel SGX enclaves. Abuses an undocumented software-based interface to undervolt the CPU. Extract full crypto keys and trigger memory safety violations in bug-free code. Read the paper at plundervolt.com

Just posted an RFC proposing to demote @rustlang's Apple **32bit** targets to Tier 3, as Apple removed support for them upstream. Are you using those targets? Any feedback? Please tell us in the RFC: github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pu…

Experiment was both positive and negative, results - wise 27:18 unofficial time is good when I say I was trying for a sustainable 10k pace. But when I say it was super hard, it shows my experiment around pre-feeding was a fail.

This one is important! If you're using Rust on Embedded, thinking about it, or have already decided not to yet, let us know! Your feedback helps make Rust a better way to develop embedded software!
We’re doing another survey this year! Please share far and wide: blog.rust-lang.org/2019/12/0…
