How do you want it?


What does "ð%C2%9F%C2%98%C2%9F" mean?


> Are you saying it's moral for you to read their content but circumvent their business model?

This is the best argument I've heard so far for not blocking ads. Thank you for putting it so succinctly.


Vigil, the eternal morally vigilant programming language:

This needs SCM support added too it. After all, what use is it if its grand moral vision can be reversed by a simple git checkout?

yes! thank you!


I'm running 10.10.4, and it just crashed my Mac -- the "A problem has occurred" screen -- followed by a forced restart.


If I run echo '' | ./tpwn in a loop on 10.10.4, I get a kernel panic about 0.5% of the time, so you might have just gotten really unlucky.


Yep, same result here on 10.10.4 heh.


Interesting. I am on 10.10.4 myself, and that's the OS I tested it on.

tpwn has been tested from 10.9 to 10.10.5, but of course, your mileage may vary. the KASLR leak part is not 100% reliable, unlike the actual code execution which is. I'd be interested in panic logs to sort the issue out, if you could share.



You are not vulnerable since you have SMAP!


what's SMAP? can't find info anywhere. edit: ok, found, cpu security feature. so it's possible this issue is mitigated on newer CPUs?


well, this bug is a null pointer deference. smap is like -no_shared_cr3, but without the performance loss.



Completely agree. Compare to BitTorrent Sync, which is proprietary but works perfectly out of the box. [1]

[1] Okay, this is true for BitTorrent Sync versions < 1.4 -- more recent versions have been less reliable, particularly with regards to cross-platform syncing.


From what I've seen, it's more like "Hey, we're hiring an xyz! Know anybody who'd be interested?" with a link to a web page or email address.



Throwing spaghetti code over the wall?


Michael Ruhlman's _Ratio_ espouses a similar philosophy: that recipes can be looked at as patterns which you can build on.

It's a great idea, especially because it encourages experimentation.
