Inconsolata for the win. From time to time I get my "change fonts frenzy", but in the end I always roll back to inconsolata.

Only drawback: 'W' and 'w', plus 'X' and 'x' are extremely similar. This is mostly not a problem, but sometimes it can be a hassle.

I deem your point good. I didn't realize it entirely.

Still, since when I run GNU/Linux I never pasted a command line from a website into my terminal. This is just reckless. Borderline case, I understand what the example is showing me and then I apply.

> Commandline snippet poisoning

Really? So would you blindly copy-paste things into your shell? Then I don't need to hijack your connections, I just put malicious pastes on the website.

If you are moron enough to copy-paste the first thing you find, you are probably not reading the other users' warnings about "this answer is wrong".

Extra-nice thing about this feature: it can be enabled and disabled, for a class, with a very little effort. So you can check correctness first, and optimize later.

Does that fuck up? Rinse and repeat.

Where's my xxxterm/xombrero?

I tried with this:

Try comment and un-comment the __slot__. You can measure the program memory footprint using

pmap -x <PID>

where <PID> is obtained using

pgrep python

...more than one python process?

cat /proc/<PID>/cmdline | xargs -0 echo

Because you want to have some agile tool. Are you trying to dance tango while wearing a medieval armor?

It's also true that you gain benefits out of this trick when you've got lots of instances.

This is usually true when, say, analyzing some data. If your design pattern is good, those object would be immutable anyway.

Please, tell this to everybody claiming "I've nothing to hide". They will realize that YES, they've got something to hide, and then they possibly would shut the fuck up.

I hope someone will post tl;dr indeed. This is like reading licenses. No wonder there's people who just blindly accepts everything without reading. I love when there's a blog post and they put tl;dr on head.

On the other hand, by sticking to the tl;dr you accept the version the non-lazy guy will give you.

> Depends on the kernel. For example a large part of the Windows kernel is written in C++.

Exactly. Still yeah, I agree with you (and Linus Torvalds) on the fact C should be used.

Your question is probably driven by the fact there are a lot of languages which allow you a greater level of abstraction.

The answer is "it depends" (of course!). If you plan to hack into some kernel source code, device drivers, legacy software, or high performance softwares, probably it's worthy.

My advice is: once you learned one language for each type (functional, procedural, object oriented) and a scripting language (python, perl, ruby, ...), then get a project and learn while hacking.

If I may ask...

How much time per day do you guys spend in working on OpenBSD and how much of this is it on auditing?

> What about git-shell over ssh ?

I guess that gives the same problem. The exploitation allows to execute arbitrary code, as you would do by launching commands from, say, bash.

I don't know git-shell, but I guess (from the manpage) it restricts the allowed commands. The exploitation of the bug would allow a malicious user to execute a command instead of git-shell. A good example of command could be /bin/bash.

As side topic, it's quite awesome the level of auditing of this protocol. OpenBSD people deserve full respect.

This bug is problematic for all those situations where the ssh protocol is not used for telnet-style command line, but as a transport.

e.g. Git uses ssh as transport protocol, but github (and similar platforms) don't support direct user login.

<joke>Hey, this statement generated a mess up the thread! You troll! :D</joke>

I think I don't get the point. Real-time collaboration is something we have already (google docs, hackpad, ...). And besides, if it's true that it works only for IE, what's the point?

EDIT: A guy in this thread told it works only for IE, then this statement was fixed in "also works on Chrome". Since I'm a GNU/Linux user I could not verify myself.

Yeah, but dude, it's fukken haskell :D. Good comment anyway, I didn't realize the drawback...

From a topic you deem interesting of course. But be aware of the fact a book does not give the experience you gain by working hands-on to something.
