Look at my other response in this thread, ROP isn't trivial these days due to ASLR implementations. Almost always one needs information leak bugs. The presence of a JIT makes things trivially abusable for the attacker…
It's not that simple. ROP relies on known or predictable addresses and pretty much all modern OSes have some form of address space layout randomization (which keeps getting better and more sophisticated). With good…
If you want to give back to Pharo in a way that counts, fund improvements to the UI. The font rendering is bad right now and HiDPI screens are not even supported. This makes for a terrible first impression.
Exactly. Life without parole for running a fucking forum and selling some mushrooms. There is no justice in this country.
Takes the luster off? Nobody died so how is he a murderer? I swear the amount of stupidity written on the matter defies belief. People are unable to think critically and be objective. Disregarding the facts that: He…
Nobody gives a shit.
I think it's safe to say at this point that it is you who are dead wrong and not Erik.
Because code is data is code in lisp. That's not the case in C or Java or C# or Rust or whatever.
Not enough justification? How about 0 security? All their measures are totally useless, there is no safety here just same old bullshit that can be trivially bypassed.
I don't see anything safer here, same old garbage + snake oil. Sandboxes are totally useless when the kernel is riddled with exploitable bugs. ASLR 64bit bla bla is totally useless when you have a million information…
Psychedelics have their positives and their negatives. You can try to control the experience with controlling the set but really that doesn't mean it's gonna work. You're blasting open the door to your subconscious…
Oh but it DOES mean that Rust has no value, at least regarding security. Once you give them the rope, they WILL use it. Let's see if time will prove me right.
Unfortunately, this point of view has little merit. Security is all or nothing. You can't have a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Unless the parts of the web browser that can be "influenced" by external…
Because clojure is garbage? Also, Java/JVM suck ass, why would anyone willingly work with that whole mess?
An interesting observation would be for the author to start considering why this is true. Why does the "universe" give you what you seek? Why do you get from life exactly what you think you "deserve"? It seems strange,…
You are a fool.
You can read this as "mainline Guile Emacs is never gonna happen". Guile is very low quality software (that goes double, hell, triple, for "non free" platforms like OSX and Windows) and Emacs has a reputation for being…
The "goal" of meditation/yoga is UNION with GOD. Where GOD can be anything of significance to you but to those who have experienced it's "the universe", the Void, the Unborn, the Undying and so on. It's funny how a lot…
MOCL is garbage, commercial garbage at that. No thanks.
It's 2014, Python still has a GIL, Guido thinks asynchronous event loops are hot stuff and you're talking about quantum CPUs?
Who needs threads when you get drumroll poor excuse of an asynchronous event loop!! In 2014 no less!
You should be off Python already, no need to wait for Rust. Ocaml, F#, Common Lisp, Scala/Clojure (if JVM) are languages that blow Python out of the water for anything that's not scripting/throw-away code.
elegant?? It's 2014 and Guido is talking about event loops. beautiful??? Atrocious more like. Python is terribly put together (I'd say designed but it's clear no such process has taken place). It's a language that, like…
I like how he says 'compiled c++ (to javascript) is immune to buffer overflows' yet completely sidesteps the real issue at hand: Every major javascript virtual machine is riddled with security holes. In Firefox case (no…
Emacs eshell. Amazing.
