Private Thoughts on Blue Hat
As I mentioned, I was out at Microsoft’s Blue Hat conference last week. As it was a private event, speakers’ names are being kept private right now. I’m all in favor of privacy.
Unfortunately, that makes it hard to properly attribute this bit of genius:
1 bottle of beer on the wall, 1 bottle of beer, you take 1 down, pass it around, 0 bottles of beer on the wall.
0 bottles of beer on the wall, 0 bottles of beer, you take 1 down, pass it around, 4294967295 bottles of beer on the wall.
Michael Howard’s blog post, “A useful primer to Integer overflows/underflows,” reminded me of it, but I had the misfortune of hearing one speaker sing that for another.
[Update: Max Dornseif publicly credits Ilja, who points out the coincidence here.]
I wanted to find a hat with more black in it, but we eat what’s set before us in the E.C. graphics dept.
I like it very much
