If I can use a data race to corrupt a jump target, I've done most of the work I need to for any classic memory-safety security vuln. Go makes this much harder to do than C/C++, especially as it relates to e.g. mishandling user i

WASM is a funny case and I don't agree that it's safe. When people say WASM is "safe" in this sense what they mean is that it won't corrupt your browser process (or other wasm runtime). That's a useful guarante

Having tools to avoid data races don't make it a memory-safe language, unless you strip that phrase of all meaning. The more interesting question is, would it be worth it to be memory-safe? Rust says yes, and puts a lot of work into st

What language is memory-safe even if you use unsafe and/or arbitrary C linkage? (I rather suspect triyambakam was referring to undefined behavior on data races.)

There's lots of evidence that long-chain PFAS can bioaccumulate across generations. You don't need to live a millennium personally. (Also the effects are disproportionately bad on infants, so you don't need 1000 years of gene

by morelisp 3y ago
No, we shit, piss, and/or otherwise emit most things back out. Chemicals which genuinely bioaccumulate are naturally rare and we should be careful with them.

Not even “competition”. BGA is more or less allowed because it’s assumed it drives sales. A Quoridor-only site would probably sell Quoridor fine, but BGA will also sell Cuarto, or a dozen other Gigamic games. Or vice versa - BGA probably do

Look, for all I know Gigamic is just waiting for someone to come along and make chess.com for Quoridor, and you're the guy to do it. But I think your ignorance of the hobbyist game market is revealed a bit here already (not having full

BGA is... not for kids games. I mean, there are kids games there, but there's also RftG, TtA, T&E... Quoridor is nice but I would not even put it in the top 10 modern abstracts, let alone on par with chess. Legality aside, it is a

Pseudonyms are fine, hapaxnyms are what's cautioned against. Given that you use "Logan Dark" in several places surely you recognize why this is useful?

I have (with a team) built a couple on-prem Kubernetes clusters that handle billions of requests per day, as well as written Kubernetes controllers and operators. Kubernetes is a nightmare, and I'm glad that some people are not afraid

This is the common view among our ops team, sure, but for a vocation so prima facie obsessed with postmortems/five-whys/root-causes/etc it's depressingly shallow.

Sure and that forgives its use in maybe, like, Salt and Ansible. Not in Kubernetes where everything is structured in the same way, even with API-available schemas, to begin with.

Not just helm. There are probably a half dozen tools for rendering manifests in our company, only some use text/template, and they all suck. Text replacements are bad. Declarative structured patches are bad. Control flow in JSON is bad

It's absolutely crazy to me how many tools are in common use for k8s templating which would all be wiped away with any decent macro system.

Many general M:N threading solutions have been tried over the years. As far as I know current thinking is still that you need substantial cooperation from a language runtime to make it worthwhile. (And even then it's hard - Java's

Aside from the threading mismatch, - There is a version transpiled from C to Go. A transpilation from C to Java (or even the JVM) would be considerably more difficult, a naive translation would likely undergo a much larger performance hit.
