Viewing profile — OneLessThing

I see it as the same problem of when to accept button input. In my view having the button give "ample warning a material change is about to happen" is making the button do somethin…

They are both about when it is best to accept user input. In the specific example with rotating images nothing covers or moves the buttons so it is not relevant. My impression of t…

It's not so simple. There are times where you intend to tap one thing and something else appears underneath your finger instantaneously. So sometimes while rendering a layout you w…

Yeah :/ that’s how I read it too. It would make more sense if they motivated the reason to find libc because like you said you could likely just use the non aslr gadgets exclusivel…

Good job. It’s early 2000s level stuff but it’s still exciting when it’s happening on your desk. There are lots of options in this scenario outside of bypassing ASLR so I do find i…

This is exactly my problem with LLM C code, lack of confidence. On the other hand, when my projects get big enough to the point where I cannot keep the code base generally loaded i…

This is why I love C. You can build these guard rails at exactly the right level for you. You can build them all the way up to CPython and do garbage collection and constant bounds…

It's funny the author says this was 90% written without AI, and that AI was mostly used for the json code. I think they're just new to C. Trust me I love C. Probably over 90% of my…

It's interesting to hear these takes. I've never had problems catching unsigned wrap bugs with plain old memory sanitizers, though I must admit to not having a lot of experience wi…

I agree that it reads really well which is why I was also surprised the quality is not high when I looked deeper. The author claims to have only used AI for the json code, so your …

Heres a link to the the problem I found: https://alew.is/lava.html

There is a heap overflow in the http parser. Should I spoil it or let people find it on their own?

Okay I did the simulation. I don't think this strategy actually works, but I initially thought it might like you did. One such nash equillibrium my sim found was having the Ballmer…

Yes, this has been a trend for a little while now. For example this gist[1] gives linux boot parameters to make linux significantly faster and all it does is basically turn off all…

I am this person. I work as a researcher finding 0-days. From the employee perspective: Wages are equal. Big Tech work is less interesting (build big bug finding machines that find…

I love thinking with a pencil/pen compared to a keyboard since there seem to be so many more expressive possibilities: Size, Position, Drawings, Arrows, etc. Not to mention researc…

I experimented with this approach on my blog[1]. I had an image of the handwritten blog post and used a feature in Inkscape to get SVG and make clickable text. I decided to place a…

If we improve our programming languages and practices to make code bases more easily understood we will simply increase the scope of what the projects attempt to solve, not reduce …

Well I think there are laws that vary across counties and cities and that’s an interesting idea to apply abortion to. Having different laws for different individual people seems li…

If you read the resulting articles you'll find a few of them suggest that all the deaths were staged or committed by Ukrainians. Headlines like "The truth is out there..." or "Glob…

I had the same experience when my brain decided that I get the point of the sentence and where it was going. Perhaps if there was actual content in the sentence this wouldn’t have …

Well we’ve kind of already started exploring that option with unikernels. Compile each app as its own complete software stack. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unikernel
