The Windows repository now has about 4,400 active branches, with 8,500 code pushes made per day and 6,600 code reviews each day.
I really, really hope those 1900 unreviewed pushes are all developers just wanting to make sure their code is backed up and are pushes to private branches.
Except it's not easy to disable the updates. I've had to disable it 3 or 4 times at a minimum because they keep re-enabling it.
I go through the updates one by one making sure something isn't sneaking through, which is incredibly annoying to have to do. I've resorted to leaving my Windows 7 computer off until August.
Absolutely positively do not use a lot of #ifdefs, you're asking for a lot of hurt.
Move the platform specific code into files, and then use abstractions in the main code, pull in the different implementations in the make file. You'll have just a few #ifdefs in the main code for the right header files.
Do frequent compilation across the platforms, because you will screw it up. Make sure to have plenty of tests for the different behavior between platforms.
The point of ads is to bring awareness of new stuff to customers, not show old stuff.
No. The point of ads is to sell you stuff. If that's selling different stuff by showing new, well and good, but selling something "hey, I forgot I was going to get that" works too.
So? Same problem exists in bash and friends too. Heck, there's a version of iTunes on Mac that would wipe your drive if you had a space in the volume name.
I wonder how many still have that subsystem, since it became optional. But then again, that's something that might reasonably be installed on a server. If I had it installed, I'd give it a try..Net definitely fails on a normal system, I don't feel like fudging around enough to try NtCreateDirectory.
Quotation marks are used in the shell environment to make sure that the data inside the quotes is not interpreted by the program as a command.
Except in the cases it triggers the exploit. IMHO, that's the newsworthy bit of this.
Not quoting causes issues is news along the same level as "water is wet". Trying to be secure and breaking things? That's big. At least it's not possible with filenames.
It's a horrible and a sample of things that could potentially come in the future.
That is exactly why I say do it. Implement it, and implement it well. The blow back will hopefully be huge and act as a precedent, both in a legal sense and a more informal sense where the entities trying to do it get hit hard in PR and profits.

Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 is released software.
What's your next excuse?

Name a browser that hasn't had a vulnerability that can be used to install malware (Hint: even Lynx as had them)
Later heard mumbling under his breath, contractors and extraordinary rendition are just fine.
For government projects, isn't $231M "never leaving the drawing board"?
Not reading the article is bad, but not even reading the headline?

You were saying?

You're assuming the browser doesn't have vulnerabilities as well. Bad assumption.
That depends on the break.It's easy to replace keys.
Cyanogenmod works great on an S3
If you don't want to deal with MS in any way shape or form, Samsung wasn't the way to do it before.

Not necessarily in practice

And they went running to another Open Source compiler. Your point?
Beacuse no one ever DoSes PC
A shell / powershell script is plain text.
I don't know that an average cost would actually show that much. With the articles about "whales", it seems that the average would be fairly low.

What secure, clean source?
A dynamic non-linear system has some weird boundary conditions. Who could ever have predicted that? </s>
Why wasn't this assumed from the beginning and it shown that it wasn't an issue?
