No, it wouldn't. For example, the "Heartbleed in Rust" blog post [1] re-used a buffer without freeing it. No destructor runs in between the two uses, so a zeroing destructor could not possibly prevent the bug. Maybe zeroing

This is not an official list, but it's one developer's opinion on post-1.0 priorities: http://featherweightmusings.blogspot.com/2014/12/my-thoughts... It also links to the list of RFCs that have been pos

It's a gap in the web platform that there's no solid cross-browser way to automatically adapt these sorts of control layouts to the user's actual keyboard layout. :( I type Dvorak too, and just have to switch to qwerty for c

You can get a 12" square sheet of zinc for under US$10 and make a couple dozen anodes from it. Copper cathodes will be a bit more expensive, but the total electrode cost should still be only a few dollars for several months worth of li

There was a "Spidernode" project started a while ago: http://zpao.com/posts/about-that-hybrid-v8monkey-engine/ I believe it fizzled out partly due to lack of contributor time and partly because the main

The new FCC proposal is also similar to the Mozilla Foundation's proposal from a year ago: In the key to our argument, we then ask the FCC to designate remote delivery services as telecommunications services under Title II of the Comm

Oops, yeah. I wrote "IE11" but I meant "IE TP". The dev versions of IE/Firefox/Chrome/WebKit are up to 70%/69%/48%/28% respectively.

Firefox and IE11 already natively implement a majority of new ES6 features, and Chrome is getting there: http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/ The main laggard for now is Safari/WebKit.

Any government agency that wants to trash-talk Tor is already doing so, and already has plenty of ammo for the propaganda machine. They're not going to wait for some Mozilla employee to download a movie torrent, especially since that

The US has a tendency to export its bad ideas along with its good ones, so readers elsewhere might still have reason to be concerned about what happens there. These weapons are already used by some police in other places, like in Canada whe
