It lets the hacker take over the machine because there are strings which are interpreted as (IIUC, I am not a java engineer) variables within a class, and you can express a remote …

Nice hint, thanks :) According to the manpage, -color can be shortened to -c and link shortened to `l`, as `addr` can be shortened to `a`. -br stands for -brief, which knowing make…

I agree with nhooyr's analysis. The interface{} will anyway transparently "contain" a pointer-to-the-[]byte, in other words, the []byte value itself will be heap allocated. (Note f…

Thanks for pointing this out, I fixed it.

Unfortunately there isn't a recording, sorry! What you're seeing is the LLVM IR for the program being printed. As another commenter noted, you can compile the program with make, wh…

Indeed, I had to take certain liberties in order to cram the talk into 20 minutes! I hope one of the takeaways was that you don't need to implement a parser to get started playing …

I suppose I was musing more along the lines of "why isn't this a solved problem". Clearly, it isn't an easy one or compilers would already take this into account and then the stati…

Great, we can control for layout of code, heap, stack and other effects which mess with a performance measurement. However, why do those things have a (statistically significant?) …

Mutation testing is a neat idea I'd not heard of. Wonder how well it works in practice. Someone's implemented a package for doing it with Go which looks good: https://github.com/zi…

Just discovered this tool while doing a messy rebase, and can't believe it has had very little discussion I can find. https://github.com/mhagger/git-imerge No previous commentary o…

At this point in that video, some minutes after the loss of signal, you can hear on the countdown net https://youtu.be/-B_tWbjFIGI?t=42m21s - it's garbled but sounds like "Suspecte…

Agree it is strange. I love their "How Not to Land an Orbital Rocket Booster" film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvim4rsNHkQ Watching the countdown net it seemed plausible that …

Of the centre core, these are the last few moments before it is lost from the feed. Smoke can be seen... https://youtu.be/wbSwFU6tY1c?t=38m20s ... and then back to the presenters. …

He's a maintainer of bcache, not of block layer, where the problematic patchset was introduced.

I'm amused by "Please contact administrator for more information". ... "But I _am_ administrator!?"

Your posting here says "REMOTE", but the job posting says "Requirements: ... Work in San Francisco".

I'm confused what the connection is with Chernobyl. But 2M deaths in the last 30 years is not likely correct - this interesting WHO report on the matter suggests the final toll fro…

I just see a black screen. Icon in top left, no text other than "Login" and "Sign up". Chrome 58, Linux. No errors in the dev console.

Interesting video of Moller himself talking about it (while sitting in one of these cars): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOR_SzLW2Ns There's some grainy test flight footage at th…
