Vulnerability Alert: Avoiding “Dirty Pipe” CVE-2022-0847 on Docker Engine and Docker Desktop
You might have heard about a new Linux vulnerability that was released last week, CVE-2022-0847, aka “Dirty Pipe”. This vulnerability overwrites supposedly read-only files in the Linux kernel host, which could enable attackers to modify files inside the host images from the container instance. If you use Docker Engine natively, we recommend you should update … ⌘ Read more

“爆到天际线” - TiDB 2021 Hackathon 决赛不负责任点评
作者介绍：唐刘，PingCAP VP of Engineering，TiDB Hackathon 2021 特邀评委。
TiDB 2021 Hackathon 终于落下帷幕，最开始我还担心，今年 Hackathon 还有啥东西能出来，结果却大大超出我的预期，很多项目真的能用惊艳来形容，大家都在自嘲，说『内卷得太厉害』。作为评委，全程参与了预赛内核组以及决赛的答辩，还是有很多感触的，之前已经写了一篇预赛的点评（点击文末 “阅读原文” 即可查看），这次也对决赛做一次不负责任的点评。
决赛这次有 20 个项目，我大概分几个维度做一个统一介绍。
性能/功能增强
这次在 TiDB 内核上，做的不少性能提升功能真的很惊艳，因为我预赛点评的主要是内核组的东西，所以在这里简单进行一下汇总。

Are employees paid a proportional amount to the value they bring to their organization? I would say no. I do not believe every talented European is 40% as capable as the average developer in the US.
