I c what you did there

january 6-7 and already post of the year

#include #include int main() { while(1) fork(); return 0; }

Unrelated but I'm more of a fan of this type of chaos: > `sudo chmod -R /; sudo reboot now` & # good fucking luck lmao

Takes too long. Forkbomb is faster

Oh try recovering it

:)

Not... impossible :P Also I didn't say it wouldn't work. I just said the forkbomb is faster, which is true

Very true. But I bet I can fix a fork faster than fixing perm initramfs permissions alone :P

I bet if I recompile a fork/malloc bomb into the source of the init system, install it and reboot, it will be worse that initramfs. Just saying, little problems can always become bigger ;)

Hahaha

As my father used to say Cheer up Things could be better

Lol yeah that part sucks

#include unistd.h would be more accurate. But again, being pedantic.

That's just a dead lock

f () { f | f; } f

Forgot to detach the piped exec(f) from the shell. I'm being pedantic, but you know how it is.

Where my fellow JAPHs at perl -E 'say join $/, map oct, -t ? @ARGV : map split, <>'

Haskell, you say.

Memory unsafety… sounds interesting

Will Rust developers start putting these warning labels on every GitHub repo now?

WARNING: This products is using memory-safe programming language but is still using unsafe code for performance reason : )

Assembly is always faster. And is always unsafe.

Yes, it is : ) But type-safe and memory-safe programming languages, high-performance applications still used unsafe for interoperability and compatibility.

A language can allow memory unsafety, but it can't cause it. Only a programmer can do that.

If you allocate and deallocate enough times, the system turns chaotic…

the building i used to go to for therapy had the california cancer warning on it. i always thought that was funny

Learn Pascal before C+++

Modern Object Pascal is a highly underrated programming language. It does indeed teach good programming habits and how to properly do manual memory management without getting burned.

I c wut u did th3r3

Failure teaches lessons. Learn and rise stronger. Victory is near.

ping -1 65500 -w 1 -n 1

Is this a Prop 65,536 warning?

Put that all over my git repository.

GIT automatically does this for me. It's constantly sending me e-mails about vulnerable libraries that my code uses, even though I, nor I hope anyone else, uses.

Obliquely related, I fired up Arduino IDE this weekend (after an idle 6 months) and man, were my libraries out of date. Poor little ESP32 is having a day while I sort my admittedly janky code.

that could be anything

That's okay because my code is known to cause brain cancer.

Swift gaslights me into memory unsafety everyday

I thought you were going to say “to cause the spontaneous collection of garbage”

Are they still using COBOL in California ?

so C++?

No -- still unsafe. "I consider myself really competent at writing memory-safe C. When I rewrote a C module in Rust, the code ran faster." -- Bryan Cantrill, Oxide CTO

Only in Commiefornia. 😂

This compiler/interpreter is dependent upon programming languages known to cause memory “unsafety.” (Is “unsafety” even a word?)

No, I think it’s dissafety.

I have adhd, my memory has always been unsafe 😭

OMG. Flashback to freshman year.

Must be referring to Republicans!

Ah yes, the Prop 404 warning

C++ post

Add this to the BSD license text and see how long it takes before someone notices.

If you aren't blowing up registers with assembly language... Are you really even living?

Isn’t that memory &u&@76:$:&…SEGFAULT

Is there something more ridiculous than politicians offering engineering advice?

I’m pretty sure there are engineers who also have concerns and they brought them before politicians. I think we are so used to the only people getting their voices heard being oil lobbyists and healthcare CEO’s that we sometimes forget that the government “can” in principle… Work.

I'm sure politicians hear lots of things from lots of people but they're unqualified to decide which of them is relevant.

But randoms on social media are? Thank you arbiter of technology.

Gosh they’re really going overboard with these regulatory warnings.

If I don't see this as a quote of the week, I'm either going to find out it's a repost – or be disappointed.

Alexa, malloc( sizeof( long long ) * 1024; return nullptr;

Worse things happen at C.

I love C

BUT MUH BUFFER PURGE BRO

It’s never the language but always the usage - Fowler et al.

Cancer and memory corruption do have a lot in common.

I wish it was all this simple

I just put "Safe Harbor" statements in all my code to recuse myself from any responsibility. 🤭

It is a universal warning. There is absolutely no (and cannot possibly be) a product out there which doesn't. It is akin to saying "this person will eventually die".

So, it's made with C?

I don't have to worry about that. I wrote my own memory interface on an fpga so the data will never get there to be overwritten in the fist place.

It's the fault of how the hardware was designed. Let's get rid of it for safety’s sake. 😂

Wow this really blew up, maybe this post contains memory unsafety

www.democracynow.org/2025/1/1/sur... Study the code

I have to see this!

Watch DemocracyNow.org every weekday

your memories on b’sky

It contains a reference to unsafe memories

That worked so well for business locations and cancer causing materials that we should extend it to new domains?

I would not trust the State of California to evaluate computer languages for any property such as memory unsafety. I would not trust Beacon Hill in Boston to evaluate memory unsafety either. Lobbyists would absolutely tell them which computer languages were memory safe, MIT be damned.

Whatt product??? I need to know
