That's sort of how Linux kernel trace-events are implemented [1]. E.g. DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(sched_wakeup_template, TP_PROTO(struct task_struct *p), TP_ARGS(__perf_task(p)), TP_STRUC…

I wish they offered a paid version of the browser that would have ublock enabled.

> meaning no local variables (still heavy usage of push/pop within a procedure, does this count as a local?) Isn't it (push/pop) how locals basically work?

Knuth's MIX computer with its 6-bit bytes and 5-byte words (IIRC) came to my mind [0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIX

OK, understood. So what you meant was more like puts()'s attack surface is smaller than printf()'s. This is not how your message appeared to me - "printf() is vulnerable to injecti…

Looks even better!

Good point. I suppose that you are talking about overwriting terminating NUL, do I get it right? puts() is vulnurable in exactly same way.

> No. You don't really want to do that. If you're doing that, use puts This is not the case for RO strings, is it?

I see. So when for a char pointer one needs to do printf("%p\n", v); the Generic call must look like this displayln((const void *)v); is it really better?

Could be. But wouldn't then displayln() require the same string placeholder? Be it "%s", or "{1}" or someting else.

> printf("%s\n", "Hello, World!"); > > That's an awful lot of symbolic syntax. Well... Because it should have been printf("Hello, World!\n"); in the first place? One can do somethi…

I think Hyundai/Kia had self driving systems in development for the past, what, 5 years? Kia debuted its DriveWise in 2016. So they don't start from scratch.

I pretend that '-s' stands for "source", not "symbolic"; and source file follows -s(ource) option. IOW `ln -s A B' is `link source A to B'.

From the article - "No other agent had served Moscow for so well or so long." That's very questionable. No one knows who the greatest spy was/is.

Yeah. OOM-kill handling wants to be a silver bullet, sort of. For instance, Linux kernel provides a number of I/O schedulers or net schedulers, etc. to pick from, but OOM kill is "…

lkml.org has been unstable for the past few... umm years, so The Linux Foundation runs its own lkml archive - lore.kernel.org/lkml/ Alternative link, just in case: https://lore.ker…

Maybe. But I can count something like 6 or 7 buildings on that pic which look glassy to me. I'd say there are several glassy (which reflect sky and water) buildings there [1][2]. […

I like glassy buildings. Can stare at them for minutes; the article makes little sense to me. E.g. Hong Kong Harbour skyline, which is quite "glassy". Many people travel to take a …

Slightly off topic. Can't help it, but the motif for pain (introduced @ 9:37) sounds to me like, I don't know, Windows (?) error/warning sound. Is it just me?

A very cool domain name, by the way.
