I stand corrected, it is not a lazy shitshow. You’re right, fake sudo prompts is how people get exploited all day long. I’ve witnessed it on MacOS. For UAC, the user still has to learn that the darkening on the screen…

When you write C++, you can allocate memory all day long and write ZERO delete statements. That is possible, I’ve been writing C++ like that since 1998 (Visual C++ 5.0 and lcc). Can you imagine allocating memory and…
LOL you should be upvoted as your comment perfectly captures the blind arrogance of the software industry. When you call people computer illiterate, you are blind to the technocrat injustice imparted onto the general…
lol UAC is such a lazy shitshow of a security implementation… A) there is no interception to be had. It’s a fucking “Yes I am Admin” single click a child could do unsupervised. B) It requires training for the user to…
Continuing to use a memory-unsafe language that has no recourse for safety and is full of footguns and is frankly irresponsible for the software profession. God help us all. By the way, the US government did the…
I think there’s more to it than just messing with serotonin. There’s something about Sertraline (Zoloft) that seems to make it quite reliable at causing brain zaps. 3 people I’ve known who stopped Sertraline all…
I would check your answer. These are pauses due to time spent writing to diagnostic outputs. These are not traditional collection pauses. This affects both jstat as well as writes of GC logs. (I.e. GC log writes will…
Probably because pages mapped, even if they are locked into memory are not allowed to stay dirty forever. Does this help? https://stackoverflow.com/a/11024388 (In contrast, if you mlocked but never wrote to the pages,…
Beware the trade-offs of interning affecting GC behavior. Now you can’t have a stack-allocation optimization, for example.
Just because there was research from 1970 (as there was in subsequent years) showing that big design up front is a bad idea doesn’t mean that waterfall is a straw man argument. It is probably necessary when you are…
