No, it's not. strcpy is fine to use if the destination buffer is larger than you need or uninitialized. That's idiomatic...

The things I listed are things the function does right as written but could not do if it worked the way suggested above. The things you listed are general concerns in C which are unrelated to both the correct implementation and the suggeste

The size of the buffer pointed to by s may be larger than the current string it holds. It may also be uninitialized.

This article is more about taking an existing type-checking system ( http://www.sbcl.org/manual/#Handling-of-Types ) and adding some syntactic sugar so you can declare the types inline, similar to other languages, instea

It is possible for a web site to be configured so that www.example.com and example.com are different in some way, as mentioned in the article. If the browser tells me I'm on example.com and I'm really not, that seems like a huge p

How did you get clients to use your DNS server? Was it on a network where you controlled the router, or did you set up a WiFi base station that folks blindly connected to in public, or some other way?

Does this work offline at all? That would be a killer feature.

It'd be nice if dissenting opinions came with elaboration to continue the discussion instead of shut it down.

I noticed a few languages removing support for octal and binary literals. I wonder why. I find them useful and the parser overhead seems minimal to keep them around.

Are you guaranteed that the data you read back didn't come from kernel caches of the file system blocks? How do you know the data actually came back from physical storage?

That is certainly easier to use, but comes with higher risks of phishing. The Holy Grail would somehow do both.

I disagree with the characterization that this is "not very hard" (and my initial assessment was "questionable incantations" which I think is also accurate): https://www.gnu.org/software/automake&#x2

The sizes closer to 100MB seem to be from debug builds. From the bug you linked (and this one which it links to: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/16833 ), bare flutter apps are around 4MB on Android.

Slightly tangential but c++ hash tables aren't even the fastest. The requirements on iterator invalidation force the use of extra allocations and indirections for separate chaining. I've hand-rolled and/or reused hash tables

What I do is use a password manager, but when it enters a password into an app or site, I type a few more characters after the end of it before logging in. Kind of a secondary master password that's not stored anywhere except my memory

It is possible, but the causes and frequencies are quite different. In Rust runtime panics are certainly possible (array out of bounds, out of memory, etc), but the ones analogous to Java's NullPointerException have to be explicit opte

Sure, maybe for a random target. Maybe for a targeted attack the criminal knows more money is coming in and doesn't want to tip his hand yet. Who knows... that's the point of not speculating.

Same here. I've researched the issue far enough to know that others have contacted state authorities (I'm in California) and been told that since the up-front advertising for Frontier's service lists the rental fee and state

For the uneducated among us who are considering learning Julia (and who have decent type system knowledge), where does Julia fall short for static type enthusiasts?

I imagine the database would use versioned collation, so a fixed bug would have to be opted-into by whomever owns the tables, no?
