Presumably, (1) he wants the software to run as within-container root and (2) since this is work-related, he has a limited degree of trust that it at least won't actively try malicious activity like trying to break out of the container

Couldn't repro. What's the censored part of your image? I don't see anything there, maybe it's relevant.

The articles defines its sense of commutation as "meaning that if the two changes could be written without knowledge of each other, they can be applied in any order" But, this seems to require semantic level understanding of the c

Even in your heavily contrived example, I can think of cases where the optimization isn't what the programmer wants. For instance, I might have a special handler via userfaultfd(2) that detects if I'm doing an increment of the nul

The simple solution to me seems to be to just ban use of loops hierarchically between a defer statement and a guard block. The guard block should definitely be kept as using scope seems like it confuses and complicates the notion of scope;

Some commenters are claiming this issue can be worked around by using by-reference capture, but the following code still requires dynamic allocation: void reverse_bitstream(void * read_ctx, void * write_ctx) { guard { while(ha

I just noticed the difference between what the manufacturer advertised and what the BIOS provided. Maybe I'll do a write-up of what I did at some point, but it's highly non-portable, and somewhat unsafe. Generally, the BIOS is sup

Actual physical memory. I actually have a hack in order to reclaim and use some of this on my laptop.

Are you sure it's dmidecode that's wrong, and not the DMI itself? dmidecode just parses what's given to it by the BIOS.

It's more that just the protocol though. TFA links directly to the IPFS Desktop Client, which certainly can have an attitude e.g. if a future update blocks this project. That risk doesn't really exist for any mainstream torrent cl

That's fair, BitTorrent v2 does solve this problem, but I can't say I've seen any v2 torrents around (not that I'm specifically looking)

You seem to be implying it didn't work, but how do you know? Sure, the other person didn't go "I admit defeat", but the ideas can sit and percolate. Also, your messages may have had an effect on lurkers.

Sounds like the two of you may be "harbinger customers", the interesting economic phenomenon of people who tend to like products that flop.

by dooglius 6y ago
Roughly, what you shouldn't be able to do is distribute a product with that requires a contract in order to build upon it or extend it. You'd have to tease out the nuance of this more in legalese for sure, but that's the gist

You can "obtain the address", whatever that means, but that does not mean it's well-defined behavior to change the data in said address.

You're either coming up with a huge strawman, or you're confused about what the post means. Pointers being integers does not mean that writing garbage to any random integer you come up with has well-defined semantics. In any case,

IIRC most of the nVidia codebase is platform-agnostic with small bits that shim to the underlying OS, rather than developing two entirely separate codebases.
