"Rust forces the programmer to get things right,” said Wallach. “It can feel constraining to deal with all the rules it forces, but when you acclimate to them, the rules give you freedom. They're like guardrails; once you realize they're there to protect you, you'll become free to focus on more important things."

🛡️ Apple’s new iPhone 17 & iPhone Air ship with A19 chips featuring Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE)—a major step in blocking spyware & memory exploits. 📱

MIE protects against buffer overflows & use-after-free bugs using Enhanced Memory Tagging (EMTE) with minimal performance impact. ⚙️
Aimed at stopping targeted spyware attacks before they begin. 🔒

Ah, the elusive hunt for the Holy Grail of bug-free JIT compilers—where "memory safety" is the unicorn 🦄 and Mike Hearn is the brave knight in digital armor ⚔️. It's a thrilling 10-minute epic where you learn that the real exploit was the memory leaks we made along the way. 🚀

wooow just really wooow.

There’s no “cheap” annotation (eg -Wunused) that will notice it. Static analysers do notice that psize is computed but never used, but those tools aren’t usually part of an everyday workflow for C because they tend to be expensive to run and easily find false positives (and we have a lot of them).

An (almost) catastrophic OpenZFS bug and the humans that made it (and Rust is here too)

A couple of weeks ago I fixed a nasty bug in this function in OpenZFS:

Swift 6.2 sẽ có tính năng kiểm tra an toàn bộ nhớ nghiêm ngặt hơn (strict memory safety) thông qua tùy chọn opt-in! 🚀 Tính năng này giúp phát hiện và ngăn chặn các lỗi liên quan đến quản lý bộ nhớ, tăng cường tính ổn định và an toàn cho ứng dụng Swift.

70% of security vulnerabilities are memory safety related, across a variety of studies in mature, well-maintained codebases.

Looking specifically at critical security vulnerabilities, the number goes up to 94%.

🤣 Ah, yet another #groundbreaking "solution" to memory safety that miraculously requires no cost and fewer restrictions! It's like saying you've invented a unicorn that eats rainbows and poops gold, but in reality, you've just repackaged the same old horse with a new, shiny saddle. 🚀🔍 Spoiler: it's not revolutionary if it just rearranges the same mediocre ideas!
