My impression from all of this is simply that the tools (and perhaps the etherium op codes themselves) for writing smart contracts still need work. When programming for hardware began, it was very easy to shoot yourself in the foot with lan

A vote to leave EU is hardly a vote to destroy itself. Saying it is is blatant fear-mongering.

Attestation ("I used it") and "proof" are used separately in the quote from the article, implying that the proof must be more that just attestation.

On point 2: indeed, given that they are restricting themselves to bash, I would have expected a note of `set -eu -o pipefail`, at least. `-x` (tracing), isn't appropriate for many scripts, though. On point 3: `: ${FOO:-some default val

DWT for armv7m also uses base+power-of-2-mask. I was in the process of creating some code [1] for calculating the best possible power-of-2-mask (or set of masks + bases) given a limit, but never completed it. 1: https://github.co

It's really nice to have these things written out, the interfaces used by gcc options that insert extra code/calls are typically undocumented (except for their source code). kasan, asan, and ubsan are similarly lacking in docs (bu

Eh? That dis output doesn't really tell us which is more efficient. To know that, you'd need to know how `COMPARE_OP` works for each of it's arguments, which is what @Negative1 believes will be not-as-efficient (along with ra

VLAs provide a very useful way to avoid making temporary allocations using malloc()/free(), allowing (generally) better speed & avoiding leaks. Why do you believe they are a mistake?

If one gives a locked safe to someone else for safekeeping, do they really expect the keeper to break open the safe and search through the contents? I don't think 3rd party doctrine is really a good idea if the above is OK.
