its competitive enough to attract new cs graduates and keep them churning out self-obfuscating code for a handful of years, but ive never seen anyone with prior programming experience in the real world go after a mumps job

5. What do M programmers love about M? High productivity, low hardware requirements, good scalability. [Thomas C. Salander in M Computing, June 1994, p.74] I still program with other languages (Pascal, C, APL, LISP, and so on), but almost always find myself saying, 'but it's so much easier in MUMPS!' ... it's just plain quicker to implement most applications MUMPS. MUMPS is a powerful computing language designed to solve real-world problems. [John Lewkowicz, The Complete MUMPS, p. xii] When I was first at the VA, Greg here gave me a 1 page batch of M code and asked if I could do it any faster in C. Two weeks, a lot of aspirin, and two compilers later, I had 'barely' working code (it would only run *once*). [Mark Komarinski] M is powerful and succinct. It's excellent for general hacking. If I suddenly get a hankering for the first thousand digits of pi, or for all the order 4 magic squares, or for a table of word frequencies in a document, I don't know of any language I can accomplish this in faster. [Keith F. Lynch] f p=2,3:2 s q=1 x "f f=3:2 q:f*f>p!'q s q=p#f" w:q p,?$x\8+1*8 [part of Keith Lynch's .signature; it prints a table of primes, including code to format it neatly into columns--DPBS] I really like the way that the global tree is "just there" without any file opening, record declarations, and the like. [Kevin O'Gorman] Indirection. Execute strings. String subscripts. Enormously valuable. No other language has all of them. [Ricardo Garcia] I haven't touched MUMPS since the late 70's. I`ve been missing globals ever since. While I was using MUMPS I implemented a simple programming tool couple of pages of MUMPS code. I've missed that tool ever since, as well as how easy it was to implement. [Steve J. Morris]

Sweeper posted:lol php More than that. Of note:
Particular weaknesses and issues are seen in the SSL libraries for Java, Python, and PHP, and some blame goes to cURL. Interesting Tiny Bug Childesque quotes obtained from forums, replicated in the paper: quote:
11.1 has DOs and Don'ts for devs. Basically: test your poo poo, don't disable cert verifications, don't depend on default settings 11.2 for SSL lib developers: make semantics more explicit, don't delegate the responsibility of connections handlings to apps, get some god drat error reporting in there.

MononcQc posted:don't disable cert verifications, don't depend on default settings wrong and wrong. php's default settings are the correct behavior so you should leave them alone, unless you're dealing with someone who has a bad cert and doesn't really care about it, in which case you have no option but to disable validation MononcQc posted:"I have always turned off CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER in curl." i do this by default too because otherwise your poo poo will break when the other guy forgets to renew his cert

also there arent vulnerabilites in those apache projects, those are apache projects people use and then disable the ssl validation. what retard wrote that?

Shaggar posted:thats not a weakness in java ssl, its a bunch of people disabling the certification validation. The paper blames the lib for being a badly designed POS that causes these errors. quote:For example, JSSE (Java Secure Socket Extension) has multiple interfaces for managing SSL connections. The “advanced” SSLSocketFactory API silently skips hostname verification if the algorithm field in the SSL client is NULL or an empty string rather than HTTPS. Then they go on and blame the Java libraries built using the Java SSL stuff as being generically insecure, mostly because the underlying Java libraries are badly designed.
