No buffer overflows, no user-after-free and no double free issues. There is a garbage collector which stops the world here and there to cleanup, but for anything that is not consta…

Author here, I'm currently trying to get mongovi into Debian, if anyone can help that would be highly appreciated. :) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1028418

I think this is huge. It reminds me of the early days of Firefox (back then still known as Phoenix) in a world where IE6 and pop-up ads dominated. At launch IE6 was really the best…

Ok, just wondering, would "v=spf1 ?all" be the same in that case? I.e. a neutral spf policy?

Interesting note about DMARC, but still, if you're concerned about breaking forwarding for your domain, then why bother using spf at all? I still don't see the benefit of setting u…

I think it's pretty weak they're advertising the use of "~all" in their spf records. Either use "-all" or just don't use SPF I would say. If you can't make a decisive statement abo…
