ASAN/LSAN is amazing. It absolutely monkey-hammers performance though.

I looked at trying to implement -fbounds-safety and -Wunsafe-buffer on a reasonably large codebase (4,000 C and C++ files), and it's basically impossible. You have to instrument ev…

Xcode (AppleClang) has had -fbounds-safety for a while now. What is the delay getting this into merged into LLVM?

I've been having the same thought. Just move back to a file structure which is what I was doing from 1995 until 2007 before migrating to iPhoto. The metadata in Apple Photos doesn'…

There are a cluster of issues. macOS is linked against Xcode's libcxx. LLVM 21 changed the ABI compatibility because they upgraded the hashing algorithm from murmur to something ev…

I asked the guy working on compiler-rt to change one boolean so the LLVM 18 build would work on macOS, and he locked the whole issue down as "heated" and it's still not fixed four …

Betting _for_ this is like betting against humanity!

I was paid over six-figures to share a computer with another programmer all day long even though studies have shown that to halve productivity.

Kent Beck's system is awesome if you want to subjugate a thousand programmers working at a bank. In some sense, it is a very successful way of forcing stupid people to build medioc…

Wait, who owns the Web 2.0 trademark? Who holds a Web 2.0 conference every year? This is sort of like the pope telling people to stop being Catholic.

AWStats with GeoIPFree is pretty good, but a major hassle to configure.

I noticed these problems on Firefox on Mac OS 10.5: 1) Upload form still asks for an email address even if I'm logged in. 2) No way to change my screen name or url (e.g. http://www…
