I am guessing no one here can confirm or deny this #java #JVM crash-on-keystore-decrypt which, if true, is a VERY SERIOUS BUG that could not be trusted in a production environment, and then has gone unfixed for decades? That does not seem very likely, does it?
As it is, keytool says there is nothing wrong with my keystore or its password, and watching the process launch I see after the init, it sits, idle, a few seconds later its Time value in top only increments the millisecs, and within a minute, it is gone, voom, not a trace in any logs as to why.
I do, truly, LOATH this technology. It is so fucking fragile; a life-sentence for the sr developers and sysadmins in production systems (that's why they often don't get holidays)

There is a bug in this 3rd party API that declares a payload to fail their validation checks in a false positive way BUT ALSO fails to report what the alleged validation errors are.
And of course, there are none, so I've now spent days in a logical lockpicking manner, brute force trial and error to rule out various possibilities.
And, just now, I got it. 🎉 It's a workaround, but it'll do. I've reported the bug and they acknowledge it, but no timetable for a fix. …
Here we go again! Tripped over it when short-living cron job was unable to connect to the database.

Ooo. The plot thickens.
What does printf("%c", '\0') do?
Answer: output a character of value 0.
What should printf("%lc", (wint_t)L'\0') do?
Answer: output nothing.
That's because %lc is *defined* to be equivalent to %ls with a two-element wchar_t array, the first holding the wint_t parameter (cast to a wchar_t) and the second a null wide character. If I'm right, then glibc has a bug here.
Many years ago I was working with a friend to find a bug in a Makefile generator. We had a megabyte or so of Makefile we needed to examine. He was an emacs user. It took him minutes just to open the file. I was using sam. It took about a second for sam to load, and I found the problem before he'd even finished loading the file.
The speed of tools matters, and big files are common nowadays. Things should stay fast as their workload grows. That goes double for interactive tools.
By the way, it still takes me 30 seconds to log in to my bank. I wonder how long it will take when it's an LLM-generated landing page.

Found a really odd #indiekit bug, the indiekit-endpoint-posts, which manages posts in the backend via micropub can only edit posts up to 40 posts back in time, so i forked it and fixed it: now it queries the database directly by MongoDB _id, which is efficient and works regardless of how many posts exist.

ok, so I set out to fix a small bug in roundl for 80-bit x86 floats. The final tally is four toolchain bugs (two already mentioned here, one bitfield bug on arc and a clang crash on arm because it didn't like the way I wrote a function), transitioning to a new Zephyr SDK and new Arm Toolchain for Embedded compilers. Thirty commits later, I've managed to get things working again. Phew.

Overrun with AI slop, cURL scraps bug bounties to ensure "intact mental health"
The onslaught includes LLMs finding bogus vulnerabilities and code that won’t compile. The project developer for one of the Internet’s most popular networking tools is scrapping its vulnerability reward program after being overrun by a spike in the submission of low-quality reports, much of it AI-generated slop.

I remember one of my jobs where we had a company building an internal system for us and I kept sending emails to the team telling them ways I could break their software...
And they got annoyed...
And my boss told me to cool it, and "give them a chance!"
But my thought was since they gave (some of) us a system to test, should they not be informed of all the ways it could break?
(And no, there was no bug reporting system.)
