The issue with strncpy is that it doesn't actually necessarily terminate - in fact in any case where the source is larger than the destination it will just leave it unterminated (l…

Oh oops, my apologies :(

Sad news. I wonder if his projects (e.g. dietlibc) will continue development or not...

> If this much effort were being put into writing about government policy I'd totally agree with you, but this level of detail is uncharacteristic even for Wikipedia. Honestly, I t…

Moving away from Program Files would cost far more than it's worth - it'd cause lots of issue for a massive amount of users and be of very little value for others, when the only pr…

#include also searches for the file you give it in an "implementation-defined manner", so if you have this complaint about #embed, you ought to also consider #include equally probl…

They would generally need to convert to fiat to do something useful, yes, but 501 (c) (3) nonprofits generally don't pay capital gains tax, no.

Very minor nitpick but I'd have said France went through four different monarchic systems in that time frame (1776-1790 Ancient Régime, 1791-1792 Constitutional monarchy, 1814-1830…

I don't think much of anyone thinks unification is actually possible absent some big change, and indeed neither government is truly pursuing it actively (unless "trying to destabil…

If Google wanted nothing more than to simply make blog posts, why wouldn't they just only report the big bugs that they can make blog posts out of (and avoid having to spend any re…

In practice, it doesn't matter all that much whether the software project containing the vulnerability has the resources to fix it: if a vulnerability is left in the software, undi…

Full (immediate) disclosure, where no time is given to anyone to do anything before the vulnerability is publicly disclosed, was historically the default, yes. Coordinated vulnerab…

A solution definitely ought to be found. Google putting up a few millionths of a percent of their revenue or so towards fixing the bugs they find in ffmpeg would be the ideal solut…

Empirical evidence appears to show that it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do you find no one at all being able to access the bug tracker to be preferable to "getting delays and errors" ?

I would guess a significant portion of people using the style (if not most), did so inspired by Windows, though

Can someone explain what's the big idea with that ? I keep seeing conspiracy theories about how Red Hat is sabotaging the Linux desktop on purpose, but I would quite honestly like …

This seems like a poor argument. I don't like much either having the obligation to give GitHub my phone number, but it's not the same thing as a social security number, now is it ?…

That's the generic implementation - it's not used on most popular architectures (I think the most popular architecture it's used on would be RISC-V or MIPS) because they all have a…

Sonic Advance 2 might be late enough that developers started to take that seriously, e.g. I recall hearing that earlier games like Ocarina of Time already were being developed usin…

SEGA seems to always have been a lot more generous with this kind of thing... Much of the disassembly or decompilation projects I've seen come out of old SEGA games include all the…

git clean refuses to work ?

Well, not on MacOS, I imagine (you tell me which repository/mailing list they should send a PR to :p). Really Windows and MacOS seem like the places where a malloc replacement is g…

The receipts still aren't there, even though they had said they'd be up there before Valentine's Day (now they just say "coming over the weekend", I wonder if they'll make that dea…

To my knowledge, out-of-tree drivers are quite inconvenient to maintain compared to in-tree drivers, due to the kernel's unstable API (a driver that works on a given version of the…
