I'm 17x cm and weigh 7x kg. I run (mostly 10K, completed a half-marathon recently) and lift weights semi-regularly. I have a relatively low sugar intake. I don't feel energetic at all. I get home from work and more or less lay dow

I mean, select(2) (and thus event loops) was in 4.2BSD ~10 years before windows 3.1 was released, and it wouldn't surprise me if there were earlier examples of I/O multiplexing.

Coredumps and debuggers are a thing. Sounds more like a bad TA.

Or writing a lot of code that does something, compared to writing less code that does something well.

And, instead of using pointers into said memory, use indices so that the slab can be reallocated, or just mmap more pages following the slab if you own the process address space. Also, align properly. And having guard pages is always nice.

I've written event-driven, non-blocking style C for a couple of different projects on POSIX platforms. When a file descriptor becomes readable, you read from it until read(2) returns EAGAIN[1] or until a condition is fulfilled, such as

You need to hit the first ret in the vulnerable function to enter the ROP chain, and before that ret the value at the top of stack will be (de-)mangled. If the return address on the stack is overwritten by an attacker, it needs to be overwr

You don't have to be an expert to make/jump the actual parachute/canopy. As long as the harness, container and reserve are TSO'd you're good to go. It's a lot of work though, at least for a ram-air. EDIT: Some

It's the beginning of a kernel. It may expand in the future, but to me, calling it an OS is like building a door and calling it a house. It's inaccurate and it makes it sound greater than it currently is. I on the other hand do no

For protocols yes, but you need to look at the full picture. e.g., what would the oracle be in this case? Encrypt then compress makes no sense at all. Compress then encrypt, or don't compress at all.

What saddens me is that, while red team pen testing is a very "hot" (high employer demand, high salaries) job market, people don't generally care about the blue team. It's easy to get a pentesting gig that pays well, but

Having a company wide git hook for clang-format-diff [1] really solves a lot of problems. No unrelated linting changes (unless people don't know how to use their editor, but that gets caught in code review and people learn) and consist

Well, anything that does not support the point I am making is not modern C.

Or just rewrite it in modern C. This is sane and doable in a short period of time. You just have to make sure it's modern C. (no true Scotsman)

Since this guy is equating "secure" with "HTTPS" in some of his statements, would you say that he does not understand that security is not binary?

He also claims that Quantas "secured their site" by adding HTTPS to their login page, and that serving sites over HTTPS is "secure by default"

It's not just Gtk. At $WORK, we have a lot of user space daemons where everything boils down to GLib, and GIO for all IPC. We do our own hardware and kernel development (upstream kernel + .ko's for our stuff) and that's good

sed works on stdin by default (see third example) so there shouldn't be a need to pipe from /dev/stdin, and line anchors should still work. $ cat myfile foo foo baz baz $ cat foo.sh #!/bin/sh
