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.
Nafeon (Backup Account)@thephd that's why I support moving core libraries to rust, zig and julia. They are languages which actually try to fix core issues.
I would actually be fine if we make a breaking change in C# and Java and make them nullsafe for example. Yes you wouldn't be able to compile an old program with it, but it seems so extremely neccessary.
