However, in the past, Apple has released security updates to deal with the initial issues related to Meltdown and Spectre. See: “ Chrome now uses more RAM because of Spectre security fixes.” I haven’t yet seen any information about how Apple is handling these newest findings in Safari. New discoveries have recently been made about its ability to attack CPUs in their use of “pipelining, out-of-order execution, branch prediction, and speculative execution.” See: “ The return of Spectre.”
Thank you, Guido van Rossum, for all that you’ve done. He said, ‘I’ll still be there for a while as an ordinary core dev, and I’ll still be available to mentor people …’ Van Rossum isn’t leaving Python entirely.
Python is terrific language that has been superseding Perl, and every serious programmer, developer or IT admin should know it. Now, he’s stepping away from day-to day involvement, according to ZDNet. Guido van Rossum is the benevolent father of the Python programming language.
