This conveniently sidesteps the whole issue of getting DWARF data in the first place, which is also still a broken disjointed mess on Linux. Hell, Windows solved this many many years ago.

While here, why do we grow the stack the wrong way so misbehaved programs cause security issues? I know the reason of course, like so many things it last made sense 30 years ago, but the effects have been interesting.

I'm curious what this guarantee includes - the bytecode? Because the actual in-kernel eBPF API is famously unstable, with eBPF-based applications usually requiring a cutting-edge kernel version (for industry anyway). And of course the

Fair use is an admission of copyright violation. If this is your starting point, you should probably look for new lawyers. In any case, exact reproduction of the full novels as part of a dataset is of course not covered by fair use and prov

This line of thinking makes no sense. Dare we upset the corporate overlords with unionizing or they outsource our jobs! The reality is, if it was cheaper, it would have been done yesterday. You are not saying anything.

Also, you know, humans are perfectly capable of knowing they are moving backwards. Some sort or sensor fusion SLAM Kalman filter AI in the brain.

I remember a while back when they broke one of the ancient Unix tools they actually ship by hacking in some option badly. Their attitude to maintainership is like two levels below a Debian guy breaking OpenSSL.

I suppose the logic is more that the amount of people able to save themselves, even given the tool, is a rather low number.

I have an extension to replace the "backspace for back" keybind they intentionally broke after 30 or how many years and of course it needs access to everything everywhere, because apparently they can't envision extension func

These words have a specific, narrow meaning and your laymans impression is the opposite of helpful in interpreting them.

Well, if the supply is going to be limited forever the way it's looking, the least we can do is make it cheap and stop any more economic activity going exclusively to ultimately unproductive rent seekers. It's option three to your

Because they are being sued in the US over conduct that happened in the US? It’s really not very difficult or special. They can of course choose to ignore the lawsuit, if their principals want to never enter the US again, which is frankly r

Remember TLV is for "Type Length Value". It's better to take your fuzzer output for value (or possibly type and value) but generate the length and final TLV yourself than having tons of fuzzer generated sequences already fail

Tongue in cheek: lots of people have discovered they can replace Linux kernel modules with brittle eBPF code instead, which attaches itself to various parts of the kernel that are even less stable than the things modules have to deal with.

Lots of apps have helpfully started turning two dashes (—-) into some sort of Unicode long dash that is more aesthetically pleasing, while also breaking command line tools.

fork() is truly the epitome of terrible design. Yet all the OS books praise it as some genius - tells you how little research has progressed...

The efforts of language nerds to make ever more convoluted syntax really has nothing to do with the safety and security of code. Hence C#, Python et al.

I guess the good news is that if I remember correctly, the NSS stuff was already dropped again for the next generation... There is also the whole interesting disconnect where they employ one or two cranky old timers to maintain the upstream

This is like a console maker buying a game studio (think Microsoft buying Blizzard). There really are no "good for customers" synergies here.

It is shocking how few people understand how business works. If you think Cloudflare wants to be in the registrar business, not push their Anti DDoS stuff on a captive audience, I have a bridge to sell you.

Does this mean every GOV page will now have the "pretend security check" interstitial that litter just about every page now? How do you even describe it, it's like they are vandalising the internet.

It is funny how there is all this elaborate discussion here when it was just corporate officers jerking each other off all along. Occam’s razor.
