It's not like the competitors are any better, in the desktop space at least. The problem in my eyes is plateauing. Once a project moves past the first couple of iterations, it rarely interests the original authors enough to make increm

Found out that QNAP have an official response with instructions, sounds like their malware remover should detect it: https://www.qnap.com/en/security-news/2021/response-to-qlock...

When I tried to research this last time I heard that dd-wrt were more on top of CVEs than OpenWRT, so I picked them. No idea if that's correct though

Java development scales, it has pretty good performance, and great tooling. I agree that it's underhyped. You can pick a lot of other languages, but no other language is as broad as Java. Python reads like a dream but has useless perf

I left Java due to the culture. I actually think the core language is great. And under Suns management Java was largely what golang is today; it was the pragmatic choice and it put the focus back onto writing code and away from complicated

Bedrock is by far the most popular version of Minecraft. It's the version used on all handhelds and consoles.

Been following this one. Just think it's telling of how medium prio bugs go unsolved for ages in big software projects.

I agree the it can be a problem, but it wouldn't be this bad if they didn't build on a local machine, didn't include symbols or stripped the binary. All standard practice.

Our project got bitten by this hard. I was under the impression that they did this to enable memcpy/memmove into structs, which didn't feel completely motivated if you ask me.

Interesting! Do you mind elaborating a bit? I ssh into WSL for this reason.

One possible solution to this is removing systemd from all distros. That way you won't need it for your package manager anymore.

Push-ups is taking time to understand fundamental constructs. Everytime you are surprised by the language, take the time to understand why it behaves that way. Making this into a habit will grow your knowledge and give you core strength so

I agree, and the bug in the report is likely not the only one caused by these changes.

No worries. The gaming industry has its own set of problems for sure, so I'm not claiming it's inherently better in any way :) I'm glad to hear if your major challenge in the enterprise was to solve actual problems and produc

I'm not refuting that businesses can be complex, but I am saying that most of the complexity I've seen hasn't been inherent to the business.
168.
by strictfp 6y ago
That is true. I don't really refute that there are instances of complex rulesets. I've worked in some regulated markets, but not healthcare or insurance. That said, I stand by the point that most complexity I've seen has come

I'm sorry, having extensive experience writing enterprise apps I have to refute this. Almost all complexity I've ever seen was rooted in infrastructure, not the inherent complexities of said enterprise. I would even go so far as t

by strictfp 6y ago
Enterprise apps are complex because they don't focus on solving the business problem, they focus on the tools and frameworks. Spring is not the cure, it's the disease.

But technically it's UB, so you shouldn't use it.

Meh, it's not like there can't be a bug in whatever other parsing code a webserver uses. Maybe using a float is overkill in this case, since you're never going to hit more than a hundred languages. But it's at least not

You can also use the original web page model; the state is on the server, every button click generates an action to change state, and the updated ui is regenerated fron scratch based on the new state.

You cannot trust established players either. For instance, cheaper Samsung phones ship with a lot of shady software, as I found out helping relatives. And a lot of reputable software companies have sold out to peddling adware. Adobe is one,

The argument is made on a system level, not on a single binary level. Given many dynamically linked binaries, it's relatively easy to patch say OpenSSL on a system. If all binaries are statically linked, you need to relink all binaries

I've used the AWS metadata trick as well. I kind of liked the solution; better use something that the machine is already relying on than adding something extra. DNS is also usually a much better option than the framework-specific serv
