So that is how the routers reproduce! On an unrelated note: CISCO gear is very tough. Couple of years ago we've had water damage a Catalyst switch due to a broken water pipe. The switch would not boot. I have removed the case, there was no obvious damage (i.e. no melted ICs and such). We put in...

Just to say that I absolutely love your posts about analog video technology. In other news, ASUS routers are becoming nightmare fuel:

A simple canary check on each malloc/free would make it much safer without causing a heavy performance penalty.

Not true. See libefence (from 1987!) for a relatively trivial hack which does just that. Or valgrind -- but that's heavy artillery. First of all, the problem is mitigated by keeping control and data structures on separate pages. Yes, it really is that simple. FreeBSD's jemalloc does exactly...

It's silent because it will choke not when the overflow happens but on next malloc() / free() which may be in a completely unrelated part of the program. Also there are scenarios that free() may never be called because the program finishes. Also by carefully crafting your data you can trick...

That's why you have Valgrind. If you are relying on top for detection of memory management issues, you are doing it wrong. Memory leaks are actually the least of your problems. Try silent heap corruption, GNU malloc's best feature caused by mixing control and data blocks. top will not show you...

It's even sadder if you know that there is a growing evidence that carcinogenesis has been misunderstood for decades and so the main research effort has been misdirected. The common wisdom is that cancer is caused by genetic mutations, however that link has only been positively demonstrated in...

Nah, the difference is the server model. Historically, Unix/Linux servers used the fork() model where a new process is created to serve a client and terminated afterwards. The memory leak therefore does not matter because all the memory used by the instance will be released after the client...

I have been forced to familiarize myself very closely with VMware ESXi. I came to the conclusion that ESX (i.e. the hypervisor itself) is the best operating system ever, simply because it is literally impossible to break. Any change to the system image will vanish upon reboot. If you want your...

Came in a little too hot on the landing.

I once did an Orbiter render set in such future, note the coast line. The title was Exodus 34/7. For those too busy to look up the verse, it reads (NIV): Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and...

Yes. It would be more likely if the scene was underwater. Unless this is SLC-6 from alternative timeline, as Vandernberg sits 112m above present sea level -- but in this case, desert climate would be more appropriate. ---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM...
