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.
Astatide@thephd I can never decide if the problem lies more on the engineering or the management side (or whether that's a more modern problem in the more dystopian corporate hell we have today).
I do know a number of people who absolutely hate this, but at least for people in the industry, there's no ability (without unions) to refuse ridiculous requests from management such as throwing away whole ass useful closed source tools just because the C suite saw a new shiny.
