security - Is it safe to type password when scripting commands via ssh? -


i've seen handy command query distant database local machine:

ssh user@server 'mysql -uimauser -ppassword imadb -e "select * table"'

but wonder how safe is? can capture password? if how?

i'm aware works too:

ssh user@server 'mysql -uimauser -p imadb -e "select * table"'

but automation purpose, prefer first solution (if safe of course). i've tried capture password ps didn't see (my knowledge of ps poor).

recursion - Can every recursive algorithm be improved with dynamic programming? -

i first year undergraduate csc student looking competitive programming. recursion involves defining , solving sub problems. understand, top down dynamic programming (dp) involves memoizing solutions sub problems reduce time complexity of algorithm. can top down dp used improve efficiency of every recursive algorithm overlapping sub problems? dp fail work , how can identify this? the short answer is: yes. however, there constraints. obvious 1 recursive calls must overlap. i.e. during execution of algorithm, recursive function must called multiple times same parameters. lets truncate recursion tree memoization. can use memoization reduce number of calls. however, reduction of calls comes price. need store results somewhere. next obvious constraint need have enough memory. comes not-so obvious constraint. memory access requires time. first need find result stored , maybe copy location. in cases, might faster let recursion calculate result instead of loading somewher...

c - Why does alarm() cause fgets() to stop waiting? -

i playing around signals in c. main function asks input using fgets(name, 30, stdin) , , sits there , waits. set alarm alarm(3) , , reassigned sigalrm call function myalarm calls system("say pay attention") . after alarm goes off, fgets() stops waiting input , main fn continues on. happens if change myalarm set variable , nothing it. void myalarm(int sig) { //system("say pay attention"); int x = 0; } int catch_signal(int sig, void (*handler)(int)) { // when signal comes in, "catch" , "handle it" in way want struct sigaction action; // create new sigaction action.sa_handler = handler; // set it's sa_handler attribute function specified in header sigemptyset(&action.sa_mask); // "turn signals in sa_mask off?" "set sa_mask contian no signals, i.e. nothing masked?" action.sa_flags = 0; // not sure, looks aren't using of available flags, whatever may return sigaction(sig, ...
