The issue with strncpy is that it doesn't actually necessarily terminate - in fact in any case where the source is larger than the destination it will just leave it unterminated (like, it will copy the last character it can from the so

Moving away from Program Files would cost far more than it's worth - it'd cause lots of issue for a massive amount of users and be of very little value for others, when the only practical issue with the Steam folder being in Progr

#include also searches for the file you give it in an "implementation-defined manner", so if you have this complaint about #embed, you ought to also consider #include equally problematic

They would generally need to convert to fiat to do something useful, yes, but 501 (c) (3) nonprofits generally don't pay capital gains tax, no.

Very minor nitpick but I'd have said France went through four different monarchic systems in that time frame (1776-1790 Ancient Régime, 1791-1792 Constitutional monarchy, 1814-1830 Bourbon Restoration and 1830-1848 July Monarchy)

I don't think much of anyone thinks unification is actually possible absent some big change, and indeed neither government is truly pursuing it actively (unless "trying to destabilize and make the other government collapse" q

If Google wanted nothing more than to simply make blog posts, why wouldn't they just only report the big bugs that they can make blog posts out of (and avoid having to spend any resources on finding the rest) ? I don't know if you

In practice, it doesn't matter all that much whether the software project containing the vulnerability has the resources to fix it: if a vulnerability is left in the software, undisclosed to the public, the impact to the users is all t

Full (immediate) disclosure, where no time is given to anyone to do anything before the vulnerability is publicly disclosed, was historically the default, yes. Coordinated vulnerability disclosure (or "responsible disclosure" as m

A solution definitely ought to be found. Google putting up a few millionths of a percent of their revenue or so towards fixing the bugs they find in ffmpeg would be the ideal solution here, certainly. Yet it seems unlikely to actually occur

This seems like a poor argument. I don't like much either having the obligation to give GitHub my phone number, but it's not the same thing as a social security number, now is it ? Would you argue otherwise ?

That's the generic implementation - it's not used on most popular architectures (I think the most popular architecture it's used on would be RISC-V or MIPS) because they all have architecture-specific implementations. The imp

Sonic Advance 2 might be late enough that developers started to take that seriously, e.g. I recall hearing that earlier games like Ocarina of Time already were being developed using CVS, for instance, and another game from around that time

SEGA seems to always have been a lot more generous with this kind of thing... Much of the disassembly or decompilation projects I've seen come out of old SEGA games include all the assets with them (e.g. look up disassemblies for the G

To my knowledge, out-of-tree drivers are quite inconvenient to maintain compared to in-tree drivers, due to the kernel's unstable API (a driver that works on a given version of the kernel likely only works on that single version unless
