I’m honestly not sure what you’re saying. Countries like the US with poor public transit infrastructure think alcoholism is serious solely because of people who drink and drive?

I was thinking mowing at night is the worst time because the morning dew would promote mold growth while the blades of grass are most damaged. But I’m just making shit up.
This is like comparing paintings to the Mona Lisa. Shrek is the crowning achievement of our civilization.
I think you mean “$EDITOR”. Gotta have that variable expansion.
Unix -> Linux -> Ferrix?
For practical purposes, it’s probably good enough. You could write a program to check whether it’s non-repeating up to N digits, so just set N high enough that it will last you for a few thousand releases…
I think the real Robinhood is rolling in his grave. And his merry men as well, they’re all spinning in their collective, fictional graves.
A manwolf?
I have a similar story. I started a new job and inherited a ball of mud written in Python while the creator was out for a few weeks. When he got back, he was grumpy about my changes. I guess he preferred it with more bugs 🤷♂️
Aha, I didn’t realize compromising availability was sufficient for the CVE definition of security vulnerability. Projects I’ve worked on have typically excluded availability, though that may not be the norm.
And I see your point about some exploits being highly asymmetric in the attacker’s favor, compared to classic [D]DoS.
The chances of the coin flip yielding heads are roughly 50%, if coins don’t not exist.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but DoS is exactly the same thing as “denial of service”.
My point is that memory leaks can only degrade availability; they are categorically distinct from security vulnerabilities.
I had to look it up to check my memory. Yup! https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2015/06/05/how-gitlab-uses-unicorn-and-unicorn-worker-killer/
I don’t think memory leaks could ever amount to a security vulnerability, but it just feels yucky. I guess I shouldn’t cast stones, I write C++ at work.
Git kinda has it? Have you seen git notes? https://git-scm.com/docs/git-notes
I used to host a Gitlab instance at work. It was dog slow so I started digging into it and discovered they had a serious memory leak in some of their “unicorns,” aka Ruby tasks. Instead of fixing the source of the leak they tacked on a “unicorn killer” that periodically killed tasks. The tasks were supposed to be atomic anyway, so this is technically fine (and maybe a good thing in the long run for correctness a la Netflix’s Chaos Monkey) but I found myself kind of disgusted by the solution. I dropped it and went for a much sparser Git repo web server.
Sometimes it routes into the ether, and sometimes the 'net. That’s why it’s called Ethernet.
Sorry that everyone kinda piled on. My complaint wasn’t an indictment of your character. I just thought the meme was problematic, possibly unintentionally, and thought I should call it out. Keep memin’!
Kamala is better than this low-brow chesticles meme. It’s not a real quote and it’s not very clever. Unnecessarily sexualizing.
the test environment
The test environment? I don’t miss the web dev world. It’s so nice to be able to run end-to-end tests entirely locally.
And that’s why you should use tools instead of trying to blow a house down if you wanna eat some little pigs.
