Simon Quigley: People in the Arena

Leaders in democracies should have sympathy for ordinary people and strive for great ideals, as they have been given special advantages and much is expected from them.
It is important for individuals with education, wealth, and position to avoid cynicism, criticism without action, and intellectual detachment from reality to truly contribute meaningfully to society.
The author expresses concern over the riots in LA, urging people to refrain from participating in violence and reminding them that physical violence is never the solution, regardless of political beliefs.
The message emphasizes the importance of de-escalation, promoting peace, and showing love and understanding towards each other in times of social unrest.

LD_PRELOAD explained

LD_PRELOAD is an environment variable on Unix-like operating systems that allows users to specify a shared library to be loaded before others when a program is executed.
This functionality is provided by the system dynamic linker and works only for dynamically linked executables.
The dynamic linker is a program that handles the execution of all dynamically loaded programs on the system.
LD_PRELOAD adds a list of shared libraries to be loaded after the program image but before its shared object dependencies.
Examples of using LD_PRELOAD include Zlibc for decompression and overriding functions like malloc, read, and write.
LD_PRELOAD can be used for testing, hot-fixes, observability, alternative implementations, and injecting custom code.
Other ways to preload a library on Linux include using LD_PRELOAD environment variable, --preload option when invoking the dynamic linker, and /etc/ld.so.preload file.
Security implications of LD_PRELOAD need to be considered, as it can override system calls and potentially introduce security vulnerabilities.
Mitigations against security risks include limited preloading for secure-execution mode binaries on Linux.
Alternative solutions like eBPF exist, offering more restrictions and fewer security concerns compared to LD_PRELOAD.

This news means that there will be no M4 Mac Pro at WWDC25, disappointing those eager for an update to the current model running on an M2 Ultra processor.
Rumors of smart home accessories like the screen-equipped HomePod and wall-mounted HomeKit hub, as well as AirTag 2, are not expected to be announced at WWDC25 either.
