Thrilled to announce that, starting this week, I've joined Télécom Paris (part of Institut Polytechnique de Paris) as full professor (french title of 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘳) of computer science, as a member of the ACES research team. (Of course I'll keep working on Software Heritage from there!) More soon…

Sul caso #Morisi c'è dell'accanimento ad personam, altrimenti non si spiega tutto questo clamore attorno a un evento così banale e ordinario come un leghista beccato con la droga.

As was pointed out in our previous post, the root cause of approximately 70% of security vulnerabilities that Microsoft fixes and assigns a CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) are due to memory safety issues.
Actually, the C in CVE stands for C.
« […] #vulnerabilities that are later discovered and exploited by the Insecurity Industry are introduced […] at the exact time the code is written, which makes choosing a safer language a crucial protection... and yet it’s one that few ever undertake » https://edwardsnowden.substack.com/p/ns-oh-god-how-is-this-legal
