:linux: Strap in, get ready for more Rust Drivers in Linux Kernel.

Rust is alive and well in the Linux kernel and is expected to translate into noticeable benefits shortly, though its integration with the largely C-oriented codebase still looks uneasy. [The Linux and Rust communities still have some issues to work out.]

In a hopeful coda to the recent maintainer drama that raised questions about the willingness of Linux maintainers to accommodate Rust code, Josh Aas, who oversees the Internet Security Research Group's Prossimo memory-safety project, late last week hailed Miguel Ojeda's work to advance memory safety in the kernel without mentioning the programming language schism.

"While our goal was never to rewrite the entire kernel in Rust, we are glad to see growing acceptance of Rust's benefits in various subsystems," said Aas. "Today, multiple companies have full time engineers dedicated to working on Rust in the Linux kernel."
Security – in the form of memory safety – is Rust's selling point.

Rust provides ways to avoid memory safety vulnerabilities that crop up in programming languages like C and C++ where manual memory management is allowed. Though other languages such as Python, Java, JavaScript, Swift and C# are also considered memory safe. Rust has received most of the memory safety evangelism, partly because it's suited for the sort of low-level, performance-sensitive code that for the past few decades has tended to be written in C and C++.

"Many of the most critical software vulnerabilities are memory safety issues in C and C++ code, and while there are ways to reduce the risk, including fuzzing and static analysis, memory safety vulnerabilities continue to plague the Internet," said Josh Aas in a write-up.

In the Central Peruvian Sierra, one ritual has been performed since the 16th century. The "Dance of the Conquest" mixes together masses, processions, banquets, dances through the community, at the intersection of religion and politics.

Combining ethnography and history, Isabel Yaya McKenzie offers, in this layered article, a fascinating reflection on #longuedurée, #memory, and lived temporalities.

Blog post: today it's on ideas of sound as mediator between individual and environment, drawing on Stratoudakis and Papadimitriou (2007), and looking at that 1614 Thalbach snowball fight as an example

Have you ever noticed how a particular song can bring back a flood of memories?

We often think of these musical memories as fixed snapshots of the past. But recent research by a psychologist suggests #music may do more than just trigger memories – it might even change how you remember events. https://theconversation.com/music-can-change-how-you-feel-about-the-past-239045

😢loss of old wise animals -- devastating to their social systems

'Earth's old animals are in decline. Despite this, emerging research is revealing the vital contributions of older individuals to cultural transmission, population dynamics, and ecosystem processes and services. Often the largest and most experienced, old individuals are most valued by humans and make important contributions to reproduction, information acquisition and cultural transmission, trophic dynamics, and resistance and resilience to natural and anthropogenic disturbance.These observations contrast with the senescence-focused paradigm of old age that has dominated the literature for over a century yet are consistent with findings from behavioral ecology and life-history theory. Here, we review why the global loss of old individuals can be particularly detrimental to long-lived animals with indeterminate growth, increasing reproductive output with age, and those dependent on migration, sociality and cultural transmission for survival.'

THE ILLUSION OF MORAL DECLINE by Adam M. Mastroianni and Daniel T. Gilbert (Nature, 2023).

"In a series of studies using both archival and original data (n = 12,492,983), we show that people in at least 60 nations around the world believe that morality is declining, that they have believed this for at least 70 years and that they attribute this decline both to the decreasing morality of individuals as they age and to the decreasing morality of successive generations. Next, we show that people’s reports of the morality of their contemporaries have not declined over time, suggesting that the perception of moral decline is an illusion. Finally, we show how a simple mechanism based on two well-established psychological phenomena (biased exposure to information and biased memory for information) can produce an illusion of moral decline."
