A new study of chickens overturns the popular assumption that evolution is only visible over long time scales. And yet the popular assumption remains the same, because it is the ig…

Your comparison is not analogous. It should be; a car owner that left the car unlocked with a bunch of private information inside.

Imagine what would happen if serious hackers decided to go after this company. Maybe they will implement https this time. The kid exposed a major security problem and overall helpe…

Because doctors don't wear masks to protect themselves. Of course they do, because they are also humans vulnerable to diseases. Even more so because they are exposed daily and are …

Never though about it that way. There are many other jobs that expose their workers to airborne chemicals. One that comes to mind immediately is anything near urban traffic. Could …

How fact does it start to repeat itself?

A couple of greatest hits: [–]LouisDeFeo 2 points 16 hours ago* Since a new drug came out that's almost the same as your company's for such a cheap price, how do expect to turn a p…

No one will ever read this, but I just wanted to point out that the whole allocation is simply incorrect. Even with just namelen+1 you can still get undefined behavior. This is bec…

And who is calling their internet service, Internet? Oh, right, the same person. What's next, Facebook? Oh.....

Depending on the value of namelen , and the padding at the end of the struct FTSENT, struct p->fts_statp will occupy one byte out of bounds of the allocated memory. The comment mad…

There is a defined method for comparing such pointers. Take unsigned char pointers to them and inspect their bytes. Then write your code, using that information, that does the comp…

That is called unspecified behavior not undefined behavior. Major difference.

If lock calls include a memory barrier, which they should, then they cannot be reordered. Edit: Your code has undefined behavior, unless the two pointers point to the same object, …

By rejecting a certain pattern you weakening the whole password scheme. It is no longer random, it is human chosen. An attacker can under certain circumstances exploit this behavio…

This part is also suspicious: p->fts_statp = (struct stat )ALIGN(p->fts_name + namelen + 2);* Unless ALIGN aligns the pointer towards the lower address( which would be weird ), tha…
