1. The privacy nightmare of browser fingerprinting Total comment counts : 38 Summary Many de-Googling efforts aim at privacy, but browser fingerprinting makes tracking harder to block than cookies. Third‑party cookies were the historical privacy villain and are now mitigated by browsers and laws, but fingerprinting operates without cookies and can survive VPNs. It builds a unique identifier from data like browser version, OS, language, time zone, and harder signals such as fonts, extensions, hardware, and canvas-derived pixel data—canvas fingerprints are highly unique, with roughly 1 in 1000 browsers sharing the same fingerprint....

1. Compiling Ruby to Machine Language Total comment counts : 3 Summary An excerpt from Ruby Under a Microscope explains YJIT/ZJIT in Ruby 3.x. YJIT measures how often a Ruby block or function runs, using jit_entry and jit_entry_calls; when calls exceed a threshold (default 30 for small apps, 120 for large ones), YJIT compiles the YARV instructions into machine code. The compiled code is stored in YJIT blocks, which cover sections of YARV instructions rather than whole functions, enabling optimization and avoiding unnecessary compilation....
