Björkus "No time_t to Die" DorkusOh cool, another Chrome 0-day abusing integer overflow.
Neat.
Great.
Awesome.
Meanwhile, we'll be writing about how we need to have "high impact libraries that help lots of users" and then give examples like CLI Parsing/JSON Parsing before we sit down and go "we should have some standard library types / functions for integers...?".
v.v.v.v. cool prioritization we do here.
We keep calling ourselves software engineers, but engineers elsewhere advance their industry by analyzing failures and building up tools to stop those and make them standard industry practice!
But we'll just have the same 6 problems, on a regular spin cycle, for like 40 years.
Chris@thephd The analyzing and tool building started very early and never stopped, but making them praxis has been weirdly modal. In your analogy, it's like we build cottages and sheds out of reinforced concrete and high-grade steel, but insist on building our longest bridges and tallest sky scrapers out of clay and wood.
