I am fine with compiler pointing out broken code. I am not fine with people saying "The code with side effects must be segregated from the pure code, with the typechecker in place to maintain this separation, and we must also keep CONS

Well. To repurpose you knife analogy, they (we?) duct-taped a knife on an erratic, PRNG-controlled roomba and now discover that people are getting their Achilles tendons sliced. Technically, it's all functioning exactly as intended, bu

Well, "trusted" in the strict CompSec sense: "a trusted system is one whose failure would break a security policy (if a policy exists that the system is trusted to enforce)".

Ah, don't you just like it when projects that use hashsums, calculate them in such a way that you can't actually recalculate them on your own? And when you start digging, you find not only that it uses the same basic design of XML

Sorry, my comment was intended to be reply to the one of yours that said I/O is done piecewise, a line at a time. The file is never "loaded up". Again you're applying an intuition about how parsers are presente

The SSHD internally has a config structure. Initially, it's all initialized with -1 for flags/numbers/timeouts, and with NULL for strings. When an option is parsed, there is a check whether the config structure's corresp

by Joker_vD 2y ago
Nope, the actual ssh implementation parses all the config files once, at the startup, using buffered file I/O and getline(). That means that on systems with modern libc, the whole config file (if it's small enough, less than 4 KiB

Besides, there is another way, which is just as stupid: just ban everyone. No more video games, ever. And there you go: no more cheating in video games.

Go's behaviour never made much sense because, unlike JS/C#/Java, Go has pointers. So if you really want to capture the variable itself and not its current value at the specific iteration, you can (and should) just capture t

A program invoking some other the program that the user themself consciously have installed on their system (and put into the PATH) is not a security risk per se, it's literally UNIX Way™ working as intended.

But the sl is not invoked by you . It is invoked by some npm module (a 5-times-removed dependency from any side) which hopes that either there is "sl" in the $PATH and it is the Sapling CLI, or there is no "sl" in the $

Completely understandable, it's just... it's just not in the cards. A large part of UNIX ecosystem has not, historically, been kind to this view. Remember autotools/autoconf, makefiles with DESTDIR, and all that similar jazz?
