Does it offer a simple way to remove smart indenting in C mode and just copy the indentation from previous line?

Don't know about least resistance. I found that trying to replace emacs' utterly unergonomic bindings and other insane defaults without conflicting with all the plugins you kinda need to work around its dated built-in features is

If an attacker can ship a malicious binary and run it on the target system, then this defense mechanism is 100% pointless. It's trying to mitigate exploits, but if your attacker is already running arbitrary code, they don't need t

Or time to re-evaluate, refactor and rewrite. Once you've done that, you might gain that foresight. It's also known as experience. Too bad there are so many places where you're just constantly rushing to add new features on

And that's all good, we don't need more people cloning an OS that was good 50 years ago. Modern software is sidestepping the UNIX way left and right. Rightly so, as anyone who's tried to write anything serious in shell would

How does having a password increase security if an attacker can just run passwd as root and change it? Hint: having some security and mitigations makes it less likely for an attacker to start with such capabilities.

I don't really consider NUCs or other off-the-shelf commodity x86/amd64 mini PCs to be "embedded." Especially if they're running an off-the-shelf commodity OS that can throw a BSOD. That's not some custom dis

I agree (at least as far as function/block local variables are concerned), except that I'd probably just name it w. If it's not obvious from context that w stands for window, then the function probably needs to be refactored

In the linked article about ghk's talk, you find this tidbit: "If you're not using a supported distro, or a stable long-term kernel, you have an insecure system. It's that simple. All those embedded devices out there, th

Yep. My (brief) time in the metal industry was quite different. Nobody talked about passion and enthusiasm. Companies look for somebody to perform a job, and people with the relevant skills offer their hand. A simple, professional exchan

More like speed is a quality , whether you care about it or not is a different story. In many cases I'm happy with simple but slow but fast enough.

Speaking of slow and crappy UIs, what the fuck is up with the trend of "click to read more." Youtube does this in video description and comments. If I'm scrolled down there to read comments, maybe I want to actually just rea

The code becomes trivial to factor, because you don't have any named variable references that would need to be changed. If you find a sequence of words you want to put in a function, you can literally just cut and paste them out. Lik

I certainly like it when I encounter a new project, type make, and it just works. This is rare these days.. honestly at this point there's so much tooling already around that one can't really ever take that for granted. Almost al

I knew someone was going to say C++. Thing is, I hardly ever see C++ projects today use plain make. If make is a part of the build procedure, its files are generated by another set of tooling. Again: I hardly ever bump into big projects t
