Recently at Stansted I had an encounter with a security staff member who was of the opinion that both clotted cream and butter were liquids. (Note, I wasn't the one trying to get either of these onto the plane.) Her entire argument see

I know C is never getting anything like this. But C is really just stuck being a very crappy ABI design language. I do wish things like Rust had native support for stuff like this though. And it really doesn't have to get in the way of

Having come from a background of very bespoke tests for systems level software where conventional unit testing just doesn't really work for 90% of cases, I have used ChatGPT to learn how to and quickly write a large test suite for a we

Those kinds of assumptions are where you explicitly cast to a smaller ranged type with the option of an error if the sum does exceed a limit. The point of this type system is not to be able to fully encode every possible interaction between

There is actually another option. A more sophisticated type system. Let's say you had some pseudocode like this: let a = 5 let b = 12 let c = a + b The type of a would be Integer[5..5], the type of b would be Integer[1

I agree that realloc was poorly defined for the 0 size case, I think UB or IDB both would have worked in this case to really drive that point home, the WG chose UB. That being said, you're completely wrong about what UB means. Making u

This is really cool, but the lack of the ability to have code at runtime to do things dynamically is a massive limitation for me, I think most of my issues could be solved with just the ability to do things at runtime. Here's some thin

How many years exactly? I am at almost 9 years of use and I have not felt the slightest hint of any problem (for reference I have in the past suffered from carpal tunnel related issues so I know what it feels like).

Leaking child processes is inherently unreliable, it can lead to lots of issues in any non-trivial program, but even in the most trivial of programs it can lead to basic problems like accidentally fork-bombing yourself because you made a sm

I think the article is pretty clear on that, if your requirements do not include "reliable" and "safe" then yes, the unix APIs meet your requirements. But if your requirements include "reliable" and "safe&

The article mentions non-linux solutions to these problems, such as those in FreeBSD, but realistically this is a Unix wide problem as irrespective of what solution any particular flavour of Unix gives for these problems, there's no st

Why does factorio literally perform better on my laptop than websites like these? Is this just firefox on linux being bad at hardware rendering? Is it some crappy API people are forced to use to do these animations? I don't get it.

I believe the VoLTE toggle's presence is controlled by whether there is any fallback from VoLTE. Apparently a substantial number of carriers don't offer anything other than VoLTE at this point. Turning off VoLTE when you are with

Yes my point was that encryption is not an obstacle to having assurance that the person you are communicating with is who you expect them to be. Keys can be generated directly on the secure element of the CCID card, this means there is no o

No. Encryption has nothing to do with the problem. Ignoring quantum resistance (which is still probably not needed for any of this) you just need something like PGP with a key stored on a CCID card (with all other copies of the key stored o
