I always find it fascinating to read and understand the mistakes or yesteryear. Many of the same architecture flaws can be found in systems today, and likely tomorrow. Bugs, on the other hand, are fun because we tell ourselves we would nev

I think what the point of the parent is saying is that we have never witnessed the likes of something like this and that our system is more fragile than we think. Previous wars and other events have all been leading up to "the big one&

I don't think this is recent but I'm glad people do it. If I read a title that seem shocking, I'm more likely to see that's it's true or have one of the first comments call it out upon quick glance.

I've been told that the olympics in 2020 is one such possible happening.

Agreed, and also the article states that multiple current and former employees reported this information.

I believe the parent of your post is referring to offers from both companies when he was a new grad. Inclusive of both offers.

This will absolutely work. Or at least should work based on a study by Microsoft researchers stating that the business model is very fragile. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/..

I do. I often don't like ms products sending crash information but need those updates. It's manual but something I prefer.

Not sure why they should use other examples when the example isn't hypothetical. It reports on what is happening with this exact case. Perhaps you have more issue with the overly general title?

I understand your point but as a New Yorker, an order of magnitude greater would be 20 buildings or a nigh-complete distruction of downtown. Sorry if my comment is emotion driven but the above comment seems very cold. Edit: just reread your

What is the origin of the name? I assumed (guessed) it was the last name of the "father of the internet" on Japan.

Not to nitpick but it's not really a vulnerability. It's including the correct protocols for URIs.

by konceptz 10y ago
Quick FYI. It's difficult to filter URIs with regex because they are context free grammars and belong to a larger language than regular expressions. Recursive descent parsers are the way to go like uri objects in most languages. Ex. UR

I'd only go so far as to agree that vulnerabilities which are bug related maybe _detected_ by static analysis. Preventing vulnerabilities is an entirely larger problem not addressed by static analysis alone. Architectural security fla
