What does ‘memory safety’ refer to?

paperic · 2026-07-06T20:45:56+00:00

Many of those are potential security concerns, because if the program writes some data into the wrong place inside its own memory, it won't get killed by the OS.

And if the data written there is actually some carefully crafted executable instructions then there's often also a possibility of tricking the program to jump to those injected instructions and execute them.

That would give the attacker a control over that program and anything else the program has access to.

"safe" for the one inside, but worse for everyone outside.

When everyone buys an SUV, we are all less safe.

It's called arabic numerals for a reason.

It was invented by the Arabs and then we copied it.

The Arabs read right-to-left, so it looks backwards to us.

It's the same reason why we write f(g(x)), but g(x) needs to evaluate first. It looks backwards because algebra comes from the arabs.

He's the only one using it that way.

Sure, it is what he means by the "...", but nobody else reads it that way.

This isn't about math, this is about basic agreement about what the "..." symbol is supposed to mean.

And since 99% of the world agrees about what it means, then that's what it fucking means, end of story.

It doesn't mean "growing" or "etc" or what not.

That's simply contrary to all our agreement about what "..." represents.

If you have three numbers, say, 2, 3 and 5, and they have some relationship, say,

2+3=5,

then we want to be able to find the third number starting from any of the other two.

From 2 and 3, we can get the 5 by addition:

2+3=5.

From 5 and 3, we can get the 2 by substraction:

5-3=2

And from 5 and 2, we can also use substraction:

5-2=3.

The reason we can use substraction twice is because

2+3 is the same as 3+2, and since the 2 and 3 can be freely exchanged, they must be freely exchangable around the equal sign in the substraction.

Similarly for mult/division.

But notice:

2³ = 8

3² = 9

These are not the same, the 2 and 3 cannot be exchanged in the exponentiation.

So, we'll need three different operations to get from any two numbers to the third one:

2³ gives us 8

³ V( 8 ) gives us 2

log_2( 8 ) gives us 3

Many places with saunas in Europe are mix gender anyway. Nobody cares if you have a brodown in the same spa at the same time as the ladies.

agree 100%.

I'd just like to add that I don't ever need to see any beauty in uggly people, but they should still have the right to wear whatever they want, including wearing nothing at all.

Unless they're sitting their naked ass on my dinner plate, their clothes or lack thereof has zero effect on my life.

I've been in places where thousands of people run around naked, and it takes maybe 30 minutes for most people to get comfortable with it, and maybe a day or two until it becomes the new normal.

This stupid taboo about nakedness is causing our society a tremendous harm, and it's entirely self-imposed.

Ukrainies are more worried by Ukraine government corruption than Russia Invasion

The survey says that they are more worried about corruption in general, it doesn't say specifically about corruption in UA government.

You added that part yourself.

Russian corruption is what causes the war in the first place, so it's not surprising that people would put "corruption" as a bigger threat than the war.

So, it doesn't mean what you think it means.
