The point here is that Bash was not designed to receive untrusted user data in environment variables. On the other hand, Apache/dhclient was designed to receive untrusted data, but then handed that over to someone which did not expect

But that line was intended to test whether your installed version of Bash is vulnerable to this attack. You don’t do that by solely calling /bin/sh. Of course, you can also check /bin/sh explicitly if you are worried a

The second test there env X='() { (a)=>\' sh -c "echo date"; cat echo calls sh rather than bash , which is likely not linked to bash on Debian-y systems. Furthermore, keep in mind http://thejh.net

True, but the grandparent did not say a word about dual citizenship, merely about Americans who moved abroad. I can understand issues arising from dual citizenship and I am personally not a fan of that being even an option to people, in par

I have no idea where they got that number from. I got a flat of 50m² last fall for ~850 €/month including heating. Top-level floor, close to the river, not too far from the underground, though not really in the city centre. I sent some

So you’re saying a billionaire should be exempt from e.g. income tax simply due to being a billionaire and expecting them to provide a certain quota of their income to the state would be unreasonable, as they have so much income? I am not c

What is the license of these patches? There doesn’t seem to be anything on the website, nor in all of the patches available for download. Are there other reasons apart from licensing why this has not been merged into mainline OpenSSH? Edit:

There’s also Caesar I-III and possibly Zeus, though the latter is mostly mythological rather than historical.

It’s not just politics, though, but also a fair bit of history, economics to a degree and that whole fuzzy area of “what is a nation?”. I found it a very interesting read after stumbling over it from the deep sea ‘mushrooms’ article. Thanks

Consumers by and large want to pay for these protections (at least they want everyone else to pay for them), which is why they elected MPs to implement them. If the general public perceived it unnecessary to pay for them, they could elect a

Thankfully, this is not intended to legislate competition but the safety of passengers and other users of the tax-financed public roads. Your point being?

As it wasn’t immediately obvious to me: You can click on parts of the gain/frequency line to fix points and individually move points, causing the gain/frequency function to be not just constant but an interpolation through these p

There are no customs, but you still have to pay import tax of the same amount as VAT would have been if you had bought the item locally as a consumer, at least that was the case last time I bought something in the US.

Hrm, I don’t quite like the arrows. C++ lambdas can contain arbitrary code and these arrows always remind me of “pure” functions (in a sense), or at least functions whose main purpose it is to map input arguments to output arguments. For ex

Do you have an alternative suggestion? It seems reasonably straightforward to me and I don’t find it all that impossible. Not having to muck around with a specific lambda() factory-like function with horrible inputs (as is needed in LPC whe

I think the key here would be to limit both – no buildings higher than ~6 stories (~30m) and a limit on urban boundaries, either enforced by land planning or economics. Standard mansion blocks of six stories still have a much higher populat

Agreed on guaranteed tail call optimisation, but it seems[0] that it is at least possible to get it in some cases on some compilers. It seems that calling dtors after the return (somewhat obviously) makes it impossible to do it, although ap

This is of course a valid reasoning to forbid the use of some features at this particular company. However, it renders advocating the Google C++ style guide as an ubiquitous style guide for all C++ programming rather moot.
