Thanks so much for that link. High-quality campfire-chat material :)

Using messages as a control channel sounds awesome, wow. One of the targets I've been trying to figure out how to hit is how to make message-passing still work if you're using it in the dumbest way possible, eg using the message t

Hmm. Interesting theory.

Ah, I see. 10A is still crazy, yeow. I definitely don't have the money for that :) I've long observed Synology's tech and thought it pretty cool, but in this case I'm trying to consolidate as much as possible onto one ma

Wow. That is insane, yeah. I'm wondering what this software did, or what sector this was in. Obviously I'm just curious for curiosity's sake, but I guess the actionable bit of what I'm asking is whether what you experien

Very good point. My comment is <1h old so I was able to edit it. IMO this issue was unsealed a little hastily; yes, it's not directly attackable now, but as you say the attack vector is still technically there.

An alternative line of thought is, making the right noises for the customers while also keeping the bribe budgets liquid, to put it crassly. Putting my security researcher hat on, maybe this tiny little group's purpose is to figure out

It got fixed. Note the discussion about high turnaround time. EDIT: The better technical term would be "arguably patched." See reply below.

by i336_ 10y ago
Very valid point. Wow, 20A is crazy. I'm curious what model that was, or what I can Google to get an idea of what this was. It sounds pretty big! (FWIW, you can retrofit your powerbox for about $80, if you're in AU, and it's

> my whistleblowing moment Can you go into further detail? Not asking to reveal what you don't want to, but I am of course curious what you mean.

I'm looking to get in touch with anyone with connections to these industries around the Sydney, Australia area. Long shot, but I'm currently in a position to highly appreciate some new hardware at the moment.

Record a bit if you see any more, maybe.

Oh wow. That model is atrocious in terms of providing decent security.

You're right. Let me qualify. Haskell as an excellent example of a language that, by design, filters out probably many well-meaning individuals who don't have the requisite level of high-level skill. Languages like Java, BASIC, PH

Your second paragraph pretty much nails my thinking exactly. Memory safety is a very good thing, but having to manage memory/the stack/etc is kind of an IQ test that filters out contributions of generally low quality. At least t

Oh, that's awesome to hear, that stock PHP will finally be JITted. I wonder how good it'll be... (My primary dev platform is 32-bit, so I can't take HHVM seriously.)

Finally! The site defacement can cease.

I'm curious what proportion of sites you were confident you were visiting over HTTPS.

Tangential: the number of anonymous viewers (hovering around 50) is an amusing juxtaposition with the small "Proprietary" in the bottom-right corner of all the slides.

I think I vaguely recall learning about database-incorporating C++ compilers recently, and now I actually see them. This is really neat. I'm definitely looking forward to LLVM getting these capabilities. It'll move C++ development

Wow, that's really awesome. If only the source code at https://archive.org/details/archiveteam-lucid-collection was complete :( that would be one source to getting a copy I could play with. I'm definitely che

I'd edit this into the original comment if I could; here seems to be a good spot to put it. I think I should add a bit of context about what I mean by slow compile times: I feel comfortable if I can hit CTRL+S* and have my code rerun o

by i336_ 10y ago
Well, the OP is a pro-Rust topic, so yeah. As I said on the top-level comment that opened this thread, I'm tentatively considering Rust. I'd love for it to take off and become a serious and reliable contender. I have a tendency

You're right: Slackware :) This ThinkPad T43 turned 10 this year :P (In all fairness, my T60 is 9 years old now.)
566.
by i336_ 10y ago
Wow, that's a surprise. I'm really considering learning C++ now... I'm just hugely put off by the long compile times :( (I have 10+ year old hardware)
567.
by i336_ 10y ago
I appreciate this sentiment; I've been very hesitant to explore Rust myself, it seems too new, too overhyped, and lacking in foundation (or, as you said, too immature) at this point for me to have absolute confidence in it, or at least

> GCC and GDB have ... switch[ed] from C to (a strict subset of) C++ to simplify at least some of the more painful C hackeries. Interesting! Where can I read more about this? Is it true that gcc compiles using g++? That's rather a

Curious what language you generally turn to - or in the likely case of multiple languages, what you use each for. In particular, what do you turn to for the kinds of things others would use Python for?

Statistics would be very interesting to the "useless internal trivia" types.
