We produce some of the finest memory unsafe code in the world. Big code mines just digging up beautiful buffer overflows, factories turning out world-class use after frees. I spoke to someone and he said sir, those commie Europeans want to get rid of their data races, sir, but we make the best data races. Did you know that America made 15 of the top 20 most exploitable codebases in 2000 year? We're going to be bringing that back. No more woke languages. Good honest American C.

And, there it is: Acting Secretary Benjamine Huffman is terminating "all current memberships on advisory committees within DHS, effective immediately." Including CISA cybersecurity advisory committee.

If I had tea in mouth it would have been sprayed to the four winds
@mjg59 i managed to get only a quarter of the way through this before the voice I was reading it in changed to the orange one's
@mjg59 hmmm... to quote Murderbot, "...and I was surprised they had gotten away with it. Okay, no, I wasn’t surprised."

@mjg59

Like rsync, you must never initialize local variables on the stack.

Too much overhead. /s

@mjg59 Everything's written in C tho, even Rust was originally
@megatronicthronbanks @mjg59 Rust was initially written in OCaml for the rustc frontend, while the backend has always been LLVM (primarily C++).

@mjg59 As a nation, we were the first to leak oil on a truly massive scale.

And today, we leak more memory than any. Other. Country.

Period!

Do you think we can get back to sql injection attacks? Those were fun.
@mjg59 Land of the use-after-free, home of the buffer overflow?
@mjg59 the masculine energy of manual nul-terminated string manipulation
