What the hell.
I would like to think I’m a decent developer. I know what I’m talking about when it comes to code.
I do not know what I’m talking about in other fields. So I don’t speak like I know what I’m talking about there.
Hopefully PG learned this skill in the last 20 or so years.
Prff typical manager mindset here.
@i_dont_want_to @dgerard have you bumped your head?
Yea a plane hijacking is totally like a buffer overflow.
Bleeding is also a bit like a buffer overflow, since blood goes in a place it’s not supposed to. Hurricanes are another example of a buffer overflow. Accidentally wearing a shirt inside out? Buffer overflow. Unskippable ads are buffer overflow. War is buffer overflow. I had my buffer overflown by some guy claiming to be a wallet inspector. Aliens are a type of buffer overflow. I sometimes have buffer overflow with my girlfriend. Buffer overflow was an inside job. I put too much shine paste in my polishing machine and you better believe that was a buffer overflow.
When a train crashes into a station building, that’s not a buffer overflow, though. That’s a buffer overrun.
You can totally hack a plane using a buffer overflow. C airlines don’t check how many tickets they sell on a single flight. Usually if you overbook a flight, they will simply reallocate some of their buffer into business class. However, if you buy a bunch of tickets to one flight at once, you can craft a scenario where you overwrite the pilot.
Nope, actually this used to work but the genius computer scientists at Boeing put the cockpit in a random place around the cabin, thwarting most pilot overwrite attacks.
what came first, lisp programmers or door locks? we may never know
can’t decide if it’s soothing or infuriating to learn/realize that, despite insane wealth causing him to get billionairebrain, he’s also always been quite the dim fuckwit
So as a programmer I was a little offended but then I remembered I’m not good so I’ll let it slide.
