Well, the stack pointer be a single byte, so pushing things on there doesn't work terribly well.
Assuming I pass by reference, that's 128 values absolutely total before it wraps around and silently clobbers itself. It means single byte values will be incredibly inefficient... Tricky stuff.
I'm lucky on the C64 since it's rare to exit back to the kernel with machine language apps

dtrace_kernel and privilege escalation
hey..
I talked to my sysadmins about getting access to the dtrace_kernel role, and they said they were hesitant to give this out because they thought it was a security risk - ie: that you could use it for privilege escalation.
How true is this? Is there a way to make it user safe? If not, why is it offered as an option for regular users?
Thanks much,
Ed

What is this Very Stupid DOS Attack Script?
...m
is hammering other sshd applications on those devices at the same time
it is hitting this system so what ever script it is is probably just
trolling our network, looking for anything that answers.
Thanks for any useful information as to the nature of what
appears to be more of a nuisance than a diabolical threat to security.

guidelines for consistency of vector functions
Moving on from the discussion of the fact that length(x)==9 for any
POSIXlt object x (which seems diabolically confusing, given that 'c' and
'[' are defined for POSIXlt and have the vector-like behavior one would
expect), what about having some guidelines for coding and documentation
of vector-like classes?
(1) a vector-like class should implement functions in groups:
level 1: '...

Dynamic reference, right-hand side of function
Hi again!
I know you don't find loops evil (well, at least not diabolic :-) ). (After many hours googling I have realized that thinking about loops rather than lists is a newbie thing we Stata-users do, I just jokingly pointed it out). Anyway, I'm really happy that you try to teach me some R-manners. Since I still get questions about what the h**k I mean by my strange question, I sort it

By the way, R 'vectors' are not the equivalents of mathematical 'vectors'.
In R, a vector is something that can have arbitrary length and which has
no 'attributes', other than perhaps element names. Vectors can be numeric,
character,
complex, lists, etc. Functions, names, and NULL are not vectors. In my
opinion,
the typical data scientist will rarely find the R vector

Indexing Ogg files for faster seeking
I've developed an indexer which embeds a keyframe index track in Ogg
files. It embeds the index in its own track, so that players that don't
understand or don't want to use the index can just ignore it.
Ogg needs this to make seeking over networks faster and more efficient.
Currently we must do a bisection search when seeking, which usually
takes aound 6 HTTP requests, give or

Loops are not evil, and no-one in this thread said they are. But I
believe your failure to provide a reproducible example is creating
confusion, since you may be using words that mean one thing to you and
something else to the readers here.

I don't insist on anything, I'm just struggling to learn a new language and partly a new way of thinking, and I really appreciate the corrections. I hope I someday will be able to handle lists in R as easy as I handle loops in Stata...
Thanks again!
Love
