I took a look at the changes coming with Python 3.15 – and I can't wait to put them to productive use. I've already updated our tutorials:
• utf-8 as the default encoding: https://python-basics-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ty…

Unicode and character encodings
Special characters and escape sequences:\n stands for the newline character and\t for the tab character. Character sequences that begin with a backslash and are used to represent other characters a...

"This series is the result of careful analysis of UDP stack, to optimize the receive side, especially when under one or several UDP sockets are receiving a DDOS attack.
"I have measured a 47 % increase of throughput when using IPv6 UDP packets with 120 bytes of payload, under DDOS."

Beyond the Use-and-then-Forget (UatF) Bound: Fixed Point Algorithms for Statistical Max-Min Power Control
We introduce mathematical tools and fixed point algorithms for optimal statistical max-min power control in cellular and cell-less massive MIMO systems. Unlike previous studies that rely on the use-and-then-forget (UatF) lower bound on Shannon achievable (ergodic) rates, our proposed framework can deal with alternative bounds that explicitly consider perfect or imperfect channel state information (CSI) at the decoder. In doing so, we address limitations of UatF-based algorithms, which inherit t…

stream_libarchive: workaround various types of locale braindeath · mpv-player/mpv@1e70e82
Fix that libarchive fails to return filenames for UTF-8/UTF-16 entries. The reason is that it uses locales and all that garbage, and mpv does not set a locale. Both C locales and wchar_t are shitf...
