| mike-burns | There's been a font vuln every three weeks for the past, I dunno, four months.
mnathani_: There's not a lot of C _to_ learn. It's a dumb, simple language. I'd start by reading the code and looking up what you don't know. | [00:47] |
| .......... (idle for 46mn) | ||
| kellytk | mnathani_: While C wasn't my first language, I got myself to a functional point in a few weeks | [01:34] |
| mercutio | the problem is that knowing how to do a few programs in C isn't the same as working on existing code bases. | [01:35] |
| kellytk | The gotcha is it "wears well", in that the curve to mastery is slightly elongated
mercutio: I agree with that I wouldn't characterize it as a problem necessarily however | [01:35] |
| mercutio | and generally those that don't already know c are going to be a way off
at least in this day of ages -s | [01:35] |
| mike-burns | https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/c/SEI+CERT+C+Coding+Standard - here's a lot of reading on how to write better C. | [01:36] |
| mercutio | 20 years ago not knowing c people used to generally have assembler knowledge.
but now days people tend to use higher level languages, with more distance from the system, so system coding is more foreign. also things have got more complicated. | [01:36] |
| kellytk | mike-burns: Thank you for the link. It looks very interesting | [01:38] |
| mercutio | i suppose you could in theory do some stuff without knowing much C. | [01:38] |
| kellytk | mercutio: My plan has been to learn both low and high level languages to glean what each experience had to offer | [01:38] |
| mercutio | i learnt C when i was a teenger
teenager it didn't take long. i used the ANSI C book. but i still get confused looking at things like network drivers. | [01:39] |
| kellytk | Lots of moving parts :-) | [01:40] |
| mercutio | and like i was checking out tcp source code on openbsd and linux
and the linux stuff is so hard to follow compared to the openbsd stuff. it's more modular well lots of stuff is only kind of documented. | [01:41] |
| probably if you look around you can find more documentation. | [01:47] | |

| mike-burns | OpenBSD is super easy to read. It's a great introduction. | [02:11] |
| kellytk | Preferences between URLs of the style: 1) /books and /books/$book 2) /books /book/$book 3) Other? | [02:14] |
| mike-burns | I prefer whatever Rails does by default. | [02:15] |

| brycec | brycec <3's OpenBSD source, very clean, very easy to read
Though in my opinion, my preferred style that I find even more readable puts curly braces on the next line, so they obviously line up with the closing curly brace | [07:09] |

| mercutio | i put braces on new line for functions, not for normal code
so many variations are around | [14:54] |

| grody | ok USBIP rocks
makes things so much easier to add around the place w/o too much cabling slowly adding USB ports around the place and decided to back the powered hubs into a data source too devices plugged in anywhere could technically be attached to any computer on the network (OS dependent ofc) | [17:36] |

| mercutio | netstat -nxp tcp | [20:27] <mercutio> awk '{ if (int($NF) > 100) print "tcpdrop " $4 " " $5 }'
running that in cron is the recommended solution oh the source has been fixed too i didn't even know there was a tcpdrop command in freebsd oh it's in openbsd too but not linux | [20:27] |
| m0unds | yea
i did the binary update right after i received the notification | [20:34] |
