Actually I don't think it matters if they deliver at that price or not, just as long as the infrastructure gets built. Just like the companies that built the transnational railroad went bankrupt. That's the boom, bust cycle at work, for good at least this time.
I have been homeless and hungry while working a manual labor job. I applied for SNAP and should have been able to get benefits within three days. But I was told I'm not homeless. I couldn't prove I was homeless. Shelters have certain hours as do the food kitchens and I worked during those hours. I asked many people for help and food, but they said no. So when I felt especially desperate I stole a granola that cost about $2. The safety nets, so that people don't have to go hungry failed me.
Actually, I think they're using the best tools to create memory corruption issues in C. There could in fact be a slow-moving fuzzer in their build system that transforms safe C constructs into unsafe ones before release. It's random and hits one thing at a time. Probably borrowed from mutation component of a genetic algorithm toolkit. I won't speculate if lack of focus or quality could indicate rest of OpenSSL code was produced by genetic algorithms.
>I'm apparently in the minority, but, after reading the article, I still maintain that there is never a reason to steal from your fellow man

So, never been homeless, poor and hungry, I presume?

Here's some Brecht for you:

You gentlemen who think you have a mission
To purge us of the seven deadly sins
Should first sort out the basic food position
Then start your preaching, that's where it begins

You lot, who preach restraint and watch your waist as well
Should learn, for once, the way the world is run
However much you twist, or whatever lies that you tell
Food is the first thing, morals follow on
One of my favorite quotes from Roseanne (paraphrasing):

"We'll send the electric bill to the water company, and the water bill to the electric company. Then forget to sign the check for the phone bill."
C++ is vastly different animal than C in this case. Most of the problems with C you are implying here are non issues in modern C++.

Why the internet is about to get much more secure
I think it says exactly what it is meant to say. It's 'pre-hated' as opposed to 'pre-loved', that being a common euphemism for 'second hand'. The implication being that BA sold on a bunch of old, beaten up card-reader terminals that they no longer had any use for...
Vulkan is shaping up to be much more capable of supporting abstraction layers above it. I imagine in 5 years we will have a common "standard" Vulkan wrapper that abstracts away the boilerplate and behaves like OpenGL did, except we aren't going to be restricted to it - if it ever diverges from hardware realities again we can just drop it and use Vulkan again or write another abstraction layer.
While C (and its love-child C++) bizarrely appears high in most synthetic programming popularity rankings, I personally doubt more than 5% of developers (if that) ply their days in it, or have more than a passing competency in it.

Everyone is programming in Java, C#, JavaScript, and so on. Aside from myself, I haven't a single professional peer who develops on C (anecdotal, of course, but this is a pretty big net crossing multiple cities and industries) in any real way.

It just happens to be that much of the most important software is written in it. Maybe there's something in that.

> is pretty good proof that nobody can write secure C.

I came to that same conclusion. I used to almost romanticize C programmers years ago, but years and years of reading things like this have changed my mind.
I know C since 1993 and C++ since 1994. Used C++ extensively during those years up to 2006.

C only when required to do so for university assignments or customers.

On one of my employers, I was one of the few developers that bordered using VC++ debugging libraries for memory allocation and Insure++.

It is not a matter of tooling being available, many don't use them even when they can.

> To be fair, most of the vulnerabilities found in C codebases are preventable with static analysis, bound checking, etc.

You can work in an ad-hoc dialect of C based on particular tools that will be a bit safer than standard C, sure (though probably still not as safe as an actually memory-safe language). But at that point most of the advantages of C no longer apply: you don't have a huge library ecosystem, you don't have a supply of experienced developers, you don't have a bunch of standard automated tools that work with your dialect.

> If you are ok with it getting as slow as Go, you can get similar safety guarantees as well.

There is no native/standard/supported-by-tools way to do tagged unions, so whatever you do C will always be less safe than languages that have native tagged unions.

There are four slippery slope arguments

1) Originally the law exists so if you cut your finger you won't go to jail for "stealing" a bandaid from the first aid cabinet or other weird trivialities. I had a bad reaction to some taco bell and "stole" an entire roll of toilet paper in the bathroom by flushing it. For unusual situations not as a way of life to eat three meals a day.

2) Another intent is very short term survival. So if you are about to collapse in a low blood sugar diabetic coma, if you realize it and immediately slam a corn syrup soda, even if you can't pay for the soda its not a crime, because the overall cost to society of a collapsed or dead person in the aisle enormously exceeds the cost of a mere can of soda. But this dude paid for some needed food and snuck out with more food for later in his pocket. If his defense was he was feeling faint and ate it right there in the aisle as a sudden unpredictable (LOL) medical need, and said he was sorry but no wallet, that would be a realistic application of the law, but filling one's pockets for later use is pretty slippery slope.

3) The financial impact of the trial exceeds the cost of the crime by many magnitudes, and all the cost comes from the taxpayer. Thats fine when its something obscure like "policeman takes bicycle to chase down a criminal" or "earthquake hits store and customer steals bandages to save lives until the EMTs arrive". I stole a hundredth of a penny of water from the public water fountain because I was thirsty. However the financial impact of having to feed every homeless person is going to be a bit high and it makes no sense not to prosecute a common crime like food theft.

4) Proportionate punishment is an issue. So for me jail would be a ridiculous punishment for a couple pieces of food, but for a homeless dude, its like an all inclusive vacation.

Edited to add 5

5) Police punishment as non-judicial punishment. Sure the judge won't convict, but stealing a pack of chips means the cops will throw you in jail for a couple days. Much like political protesting is not illegal and you won't get a conviction for it, but the cops WILL let you cool your heels in jail for hours/days. Likewise maybe the appropriate legal level of punishment for stealing a cookie is sitting in jail and explaining yourself to a judge who lets you walk. Its not a crime you can be convicted of, but its not exactly government encouraged either. This is a likely outcome of the whole situation. There are parts of the country that "enforce" marijuana laws in a similar manner, or at least there used to be.
True. Even though there's a correlation, basing it off of age would screw some people who are otherwise capable. Point taken.
Java applets have security issues today. That's a situation where you are allowing random websites to execute arbitrary code on your computer. Flash has the same issues. So don't do that.

Don't confuse Java applets (and the lack of security thereof) with the JVM as a development platform. I'd bet on the security of a Java application over that of a C/C++ application any day.

It's really not black and white at all. Stealing addresses the immediate present concerns. Government programs address the systematic problems and may not be able to help in time. This is somewhat like telling someone to wait til the next presidential election to vote to solve the problems they are having today. Makes sense when it's not you, but until then you have needs.

Speaking to the DX APIs. 9.1c was pretty much the same kind of mess gl is now. Two APIs, the fixed function and programmable pipelines mashed together to create something totally gross.

Hi there, I am the head of Sourcefabric, and all I can tell you that based on the inquiries we are getting, you are considerably underestimating the appetite for change in major media organizations. Perhaps dropping some of Superdesk promo materials in front of editors and biz people may produce surprising results.

"Selling" Superdesk is actually not hard at all. Our main challenge currently is to cope with the demand. Hence the "We're hiring" badge.

Regarding who is it for, it's for all, rich and poor alike. Think of Tesla Roadster to Tesla Model 3 analogy. We wanted to build something that will be second to none. And luckily we've bumped into great, open minded partners among national new agencies, who have helped us shape it into an already very powerful system, that can substitute their aging enterprise CMSs and open the road to innovation down the line. And if it's good for the bigger fish, the minnows will enjoy the ride too. (more about it at some other point).

What we want to do is provide the best technology to all news media and help arrest the erosion of the sector. We have many ideas and concrete plans. If you want to help us, come join us. We need you.

The very same page puts it at £69k in "labour cost". Which is a bit low for any kind of house in York, but certainly not for a small but well built row house in Burnley. A well built row house in Burnley which will have running water, electricity, glass in the windows and central heating.

The figure also appears to confirm your point about the indicative "labourer" wage - doubtless a semi-skilled person not indebted by any obligations to a manorial landlord - being middle class in relative terms.
I think it's not just new topics, but different models of why things change, and why history rolls on. The 'great men' concept of history (the bio part of the military history trifecta) has pretty much fallen apart at this point, leaving a lot of space to fill n the whys of history.

That's very misleading. The Green Party want to keep some of the existing benefits, but massively reduced (so disability benefit, for example, would drop to £30 a week). But since they plan to abolish more than one benefit, there would definitely be fewer than before.

Well, they'd also need the codebook where you store the passphrase to get the other half of the password.

So if you change the master password regularly, they'd need to hack a database in that time window and steal your codebook. I highly doubt anyone would put that level of effort in.
My understanding is that transportation is actually a small factor in total food emissions. It seems that promoting "local food" without paying attention to whether that food can be optimally produced locally, might be more environmentally unfriendly than simply producing it wherever it is most efficient to produce and then transporting it.

>The Catholic Church would agree

Quite the opposite, I'd say. Italy is a catholic country, and it is, I think, common opinion that the very forgiving Italian attitude is due to it. Protestantism and Calvinism in particular are much more strict in considering everybody responsible for their actions. Catholics can always go the the nearest priest, confess their sins and be immediately absolved from them. They don't have to deal with their conscience.
This might seem like a weird thing to complain about, but am I the only person who is sick to death of headlines of the form "X just did Y"? It's the "just" I object to. It seems to be some sort of trend over the last couple of years.

In this case it is especially ridiculous, since the article describes something that happened over the course of 16 months.

That's not a counterexample. That's an example of the short and defined list of prohibited axes of discrimination (the specific law at issue included sexual orientation as an enumerated category protected) discussed upthread in the US and contrasted with the Finnish rule against discrimination on any broad category. So, its not an example of the US having a rule like the Finnish open-ended rule.
> Believe what you want, but I sure as hell didn't grow up in a privileged position.

I think the disconnect there is that we appear to have very different ideas of what is required to be privileged.

Have you ever starved? (And going hungry is not starvation).

> Churches will give food, its part of many faiths.

Again, have you ever starved, and tried to think clearly enough to find someone willing to give you food?

> People will help others, but taking is never right because of the chain of pain you unleash in the world.

If the choices is theft of necessities or starvation, I would always consider theft morally acceptable, because the pain involved is magnitudes apart from the pain caused by petty theft.
> It's trivially easy for Google to do this already without the NHS data, and they don't face prison time for doing it. See all the pregnant teens outed by supermarket loyalty cards for other examples.

It probably has something to do with the fact you are completely missing the point I'm discussing rather than the strength of my opinions.

I'm not a biologist, but doesn't the scheme & lisp model of "every function is a monad that is just consecutively partially-applied to a set of data."

I have no experience with biology, but from what I remember in my highschool class, that's what it sounded like. Take an input, simple transformation, make an output.

Hopefully someone more experienced can clear this up for me.
That's the one that rings a faint bell, for me -- ternary systems. Although I've no background to speak of and suspect, based on their work in mathematics et al., that there is considerably more to the story, including and perhaps especially on the theoretical side.

There are Basic, Pascal, Oberon and Java compilers for embedded systems, but it is a niche market.

As for C and C++ being fast. They are now, but once upon a time their compilers generated very bad code for home computers, those that are nowadays used as embedded ones.

Yet mainframes less powerful than the PDP-11, already had better languages available.

>After considering the situation (well, to be honest he can be pretending), I decided to give the man 10 euros because if he really is starving, he should not stay there to collect small coins, but also as a test, such that he could be given further directions when he really is in need.

Not much experience with being poor/homeless, have we?

For those not faking it (which can happen too), a "starving" sign doesn't mean "I'm literally starving right now, I just need a few dollars for a burger and I'll be on my way".

It means I can't support myself, I'm dead-poor, and probably homeless, and can use all the money thrown at me to get by for a few days.
The key being modern C++.

A lot of C++ projects aren't written in modern C++ and out of the few that are, even then, programmers will mix in older less secure C++ because they lack experience with modern C++. So habits can actually hurt security.

Ultimately when you have a language which mixes secure and insecure practises and lets the programmer decide, as an outside observer you have to assume the worst unless shown otherwise. C++ can be written very well, but C++ can also be written no better than C, it is project by project for which is which.

Other languages don't have this issue. If you see a Rust, Go, Java, C#, etc block of code you can make certain assumptions about what classes of security issues it won't have.
And I think the difficulty of manual memory management is vastly overrated. A bug is a bug is a bug. If OpenSSL is ... safety critical, then it should be treated as safety critical going forward. Tools don't make bugs, people make bugs.

Of course, someone's free to write a replacement for OpenSSL in Rust and see how far that goes.

FWIW, there used to be a rich suite of very respectable ASN.1 verification tools, at least the subset of ASN.1 used in SNMP.
I would agree with this--it's interesting to me that a culture that generally views itself as rational has such blind spots when it comes to systemic failures. I would expect that working with systems full of unintended behaviors, non-continuous outputs that can result in sudden failures, etc. should make that obvious, but apparently it doesn't. (Personally, I have never experienced systemic difficulty in my life--but it's plainly obvious that it exists.)

For the sake of my blood pressure I won't go into the similarly strange attempts to solve what systemic failures (almost always the ones that minorly inconvenience the privileged, isn't that strange?) folks of this mindset do deign to recognize, but...yeah.

And here in the USA some states are punishing solar customers who sell their energy, by taxing them on infrastructure costs, to protect the big energy companies.
