V a film released in 2015, based on a book by Michael Lewis, might remember the travails of investors who sought to short-sell American housing debt in the run-up to the collapse of Lehman Brothers. A growing number of investors now fear that America could be in for a jolt of a similar type, if not scale. And it could emerge, they think, from private markets and unlisted corners of the tech ...
A bug in the Perl program git-re-edit caused it to remove the TMPDIR environment variable, leading to a problem with Emacs and emacsclient communicating over a Unix-domain socket. The issue was eventually tracked down to a Linux capability feature that removes TMPDIR from the environment when a program is run with elevated privileges, which was enabled for the Perl program on the user's system.

The user discusses generalizing printf functions into one function that constructs and outputs a formatted string, but notes that this is a harder problem due to the need to handle different output methods and the volatility of function pointers. A possible solution is to use a void pointer to keep track of state and implement vsnprintf, sprintf, and snprintf with a few lines of boilerplate code.
