It's too bad that the author conflates /pol/ (known to many other 4chan users as a "containment board" for the most racist users) with the entirety of the site. While pol may be the most active board on 4chan for th

This article is referring specifically to ARM64 assembly which is actually quite a bit more RISC-y than previous versions of the ARM ISA. In favor of simplicity, many of the more complex ARMv7 instructions (such as the block loads/stor

I personally would say yes, it is 100% necessary to write assembly for bootstrapping the OS (at least on x86). It's almost entirely due to your third point--x86 has dedicated instructions which only exist to write to certain control re

The support for named capture groups in Go's regular expressions is severely lacking, in the sense that it may as well not even exist. There's an API (SubexpNames) that returns an ordered list of the capture group names (if you pr

Holy crap. If I'm reading this correctly, Z/OS servers do not support non-executable memory? The essential anti stack-smashing protection that was even added to Windows XP in 2004?

Of course, a more or less 100% complete wrapper of SDL for Go exists, too, so SDL invalidates the original argument against Go if you're considering it for C.

You may be interested to know that there has recently been a notable movement in systems security research to push for an "execute-only" permission, that makes executable data unreadable in addition to unwriteable. This has come i

As someone else already wrote, it didn't really matter here. They already knew that whatever they did would be crackable, but it would just be a matter of time. They basically did an obfuscated checksum procedure (and they didn't

There are several reasons we've been using go for web backends where I work: - Very easy deployment (we can just copy the same binaries between our 64 bit linux boxes and run them) - Go's libraries for developing minimal web inter

We also use self-hosted Gitlab. Its workflow is generally very sensible, the web interface is great, and it was easy to integrate with a homemade CI server (unfortunately their provided CI server wasn't nearly as easy to set up as Gitl

I doubt this removal is anything sinister. Attacks on Tor have been a relatively common theme at many large security conferences. For example, there was a presentation at IEEES&P 2013 on de-anonymizing Tor hidden services ( http:/&

I'd be interested in seeing how much of this advice applies to architectures other than x86. As a side note, definitely don't follow the advice about using position-dependent code unless you are working in a very performance-inten

I was expecting a simple explanation of some maze generation algorithms, but was very pleasantly surprised with the path-length based visualization stuff. What I mean is that there is more to this page than the title suggests!

Heck, why not just title it "a web server with no library function calls" and call an array of bytes as a function? Then everybody would be able to see what it really is, which is an unremarkable shellcode embedded directly in a C

I developed my distaste for pointless acronyms after working at a large company that had little regard for sensible terminology and would tack acronyms onto everything. Plenty of acronyms not only conflicted with established acronyms in the

For me, the problem wasn't only this, but also that RDP is already a well-known acronym for "Remote Desktop Protocol". One of my personal policies is to not introduce any new acronyms in the work I do, and especially don&#x

I am actually happy that gcc doesn't find it important to support a library that prevents its users from using functions that are clearly defined in the specification of the language it supports.

I would encourage anybody interested to try out the site's quiz. It starts out easily enough but eventually becomes extremely challenging. I also really like the community submitted regexes. But, on that note, what's to prevent so

When I tried to build the project I got a linker error, but running the prebuilt iso (linked in the readme) with qemu worked just fine. A very impressive project! Edit: The link error is probably just a stupid mistake on my part; I was tryi

It is true that one will probably immediately reassign the $- variables. And that's definitely true that there are cases when conventions impede good style. I would probably say, though, that in most cases the latter of your examples is pr

I agree with almost everything except for using named groups over the $1-$9 variables in regular expression matching. This may be the case if there are many capture groups in the expression, but I would argue that /(?<meaningful_

He was making a joke about misreading 'pom.xml' as 'porn.xml' (all caps: 'POM.XML', 'PORN.XML'). I guess the issue works both ways for those more used to seeing maven projects than pornography!

I second your agreement. That line would have been much better if it had been referring to mixing indentation styles or combining tabs and spaces.

I find it hard to believe that European kids care that much about the CIA or Arizona's immigration laws. Yet many of these alleged LulzSec arrests seem to be in Europe.
