Linux 7.2's merge window closed out a cleanup campaign on Friday that most kernel developers had stopped expecting to see end: the complete removal of strncpy(), a C string-copy function that the kernel's own documentation labels "actively dangerous," from every subsystem, driver, and architecture-specific file in the kernel source tree.
The merge landed June 20, 2026. After around 362 commits spread across six years of incremental work, no call site using the function remained, and t

Проверил реализацию Boyer-Moore в TheAlgorithms/Python (190K+ звёзд). Оказалось, что сдвиг bad character записывается в переменную for-цикла, что в Python не имеет эффекта. Алгоритм выдаёт правильные результаты, но работает как brute-force O(nm) вместо O(n/m). Плюс ещё две находки: бесконечный цикл в типичных реализациях full BM и ошибка в оригинальной статье 1977 года, которую исправили только в 1980-м. Читать далее Read more ›

Steven Spielberg grants that his 1977 UFO film Close Encounters was "speculative," writes the Associated Press, but "Disclosure Day, he insists, is the real deal." "It's my first film that will be considered science fiction that I do not consider to be science fiction," Spielberg said in a recent interview. "It's much more reflective of the world as it is evolving and discoveries that are being made as we speak."... Read more ›

UK's Members of Parliament (MP) were "looking for proof that smartphones and social media are rotting children's brains," writes The Register — but they got "a less satisfying answer from neuroscientists on Wednesday: nobody can really prove it."

Asked what evidence exists... Read more ›
