> Dissimilar redundancy eliminates that risk. A completely different OS, different codebase, different development team.

Not entirely true. I've heard during my uni years of a case were two independent teams used the same textbook for implementing a feature, which had an error, and thus resulting in the same failure mode.

They are all the regular software, but with new bugs in it !

I use asio at work for coroutine. It's one of the most opaque library I've ever used. The doc is awful and impenetrable.

The most helpful resource about it is a guy on stackoverflow (sehe). No idea how to get help once SO will have closed

Just need to check if it's plain Ada or one specific profile or SPARK

Refreshing stories between all the AI ones (and crypto/web3 before that)

New comment by Davidbrcz in "Defer available in gcc and clang"

People manually doing resource cleanup by using goto.

I'm assuming that using defer would have prevented the gotos in the first case, and the bug.

New comment by Davidbrcz in "Ask HN: How do you audit LLM code in programming languages you don't know?"

Davidbrcz — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 07:36:17 +0000

You do a cross analysis.

- Compile it with the maximum number of warnings enabled

- Run linters/analyzers/fuzzers on it

- Ask another LLM to review it

For main it's explicitly allowed by the standard, and no return is equal to return 0

Taxes, that's called taxes.

I'm visually impaired: dark mode is about making the web usable for me

Yes, I'm working on FAA SWIM services now. The tech feels old school (UML, XSD...) but having documentation, class generation from XSD is very helpful.
