Some of the solutions are not safe (and should be indicated as such). For example MIN/MAX in generic.h are macros so shouldn't be used with functions (and mustn't be used with functions that have side-effects). Macro paramete

As long as results are different on every application run and app crashes when there's a mismatch, you don't need anything as strong as SipHash since your previous guesses don't narrow options for your future attack attempts.

Telling people "I demand that you do it" or even "do it, or else" is a symptom of a greater problem with said person. I don't see how waging battles with this type of lead in commit messages is going to help me.

This is weird. Author wants me to agree, that I have to unconditionally submit to someone because of their title. No ifs or buts, just do as you're told. I worked with people who loved to manage like this and in every single case when

I bet getting this to compile was more of a headache than manually patching it. This component - being old itself - probably has tons of dependencies on even older libraries. Code in its teens would need a lot of cleanup to be built (and wo

Not really, this depends on the code being compiled/run, e.g.: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=gcc7-clan... GCC however has many more platforms supported, so in certain use cases LLVM is out of t

I don't see how this is a barrier for anyone who could contribute to OpenBSD (or any other OS). OS source code complexity isn't in maintaining branches, moving files and managing dozens of dependencies - it's about improving

Sorry to see SourceDepot (slowly) decommissioned. I loved it and since it was a Perforce fork, what I've learned was directly applicable when I started using P4 in my subsequent job. Perhaps I'm old fashioned but I really see litt

This is absolutely not what happened and a completely flawed analogy. One: there's talks, not lawsuit. Two: Apple claims it did clean room implementation w/o providing any proof. Apple could hire a third party to assess that w&#x2

It wasn't about fixing, it was about upgrading/updating. It takes people and money to upgrade large infrastructures - closed source or open source, doesn't matter. Thinking that irresponsible (or budged-constrained) organizat

Why do people call structured governance a bureaucracy? About a month ago there was a well received post on GTK's rotten foundations that boils down to several core points, one of them being: if you keep breaking stuff all the time, th

I'm not terribly surprised that once again Stallman understates complexity of something he doesn't understand. To him making sure that incoming data isn't pre-filtered is as simple as making sure that all of the narrowed quer

You can - and should - archive your FB data. There's a built-in feature for that and I periodically archive everything for the same sentimental reasons.

Also Opera has built-in blocking. It's not a JavaScript-heavy extension to begin with. ;)

Society historically confusing religious convictions with human worth is somehow becoming worse by confusing intelligence with human worth. Fascinating case of rationalization.

We've had this problem in one of the internal projects in the past where version would change so rapidly we basically didn't care about some of them. By the time team A did something to .70 there was already .75 released by team B

World never asked for this. ;) Seriously though - any versioning scheme, as long as it's consistent, is fine. Like everything in the world, this has some pros and cons compared to typical semantic versioning: it does remove some of the

I don't see the shifting there at all. They state the process, what part they took and what could have been done better. The only thing beyond what they wrote would be to take responsibility for things they did not do. Could they have

Yeah, you're wrong. :) I mean, sure, people exaggerate how important ISA is but it is important. Especially if your instruction set is heavily intertwined with a bunch of characteristics of various subsystems (e.g. memory). Size of t

You're missing the crucial part: grsecurity is not a company with deep pockets. There's little to no incentive for them to spend time on doing something, somewhere they're not terribly welcome. :) Yeah, I'm exaggerating

AFAIK they never tried submitting in bulk so I'm not sure why this (sensible, I think) process is used as an argument against them. I don't know if they tried to post piece by piece (and when/if they gave up). But there'

It's the same reason other interesting things don't get mainlined from time to time: personalities and opinions. Linus is a loudmouth and he has every right to be like that. It's his playground after all. But this leads to bl

That's true, code is rarely linear. But the whole idea of encapsulation, separation of concerns and many, many other practices is to increase locality of a code. In that sense a well written and structured code has local, mostly linear
