Reliable per-service logging was largely perfected by multilog.

Judging complexity by observing external configuration is nonetheless exceptionally naive. One must factor in how the key-value pairs are built into an internal representation and dispatched, which is where things become an issue. Non-deterministic boot order (man 7 bootup) is one of many undesirable trade-offs.

In a scenario where you are found at fault in an accident (eventually / as the outcome), both legal fees and the judgment of having to pay out could put immense strain on your fiscal outlook in both the short and long term. Note I picked the word "accident" because it's something that is theoretically insured against but may not be sufficiently mitigated as a personal risk. E.g. umbrella is too small.

He's not playing it straight. He's deriving income as a rentier but saying we can all live like him. We can't because rentier income by definition is income with zero value added.

These guys hiding in the grey area are very damaging. Maybe you were a total fool with your money, but for most people they are on the breadline not because houses are expensive to construct, not because fuel is expensive but because they have to pay a significant portion of their labour to rentiers.

People like this put the blame on the individual. No - it rests with the rentier.

Exactly. The most devastating part of all of this for me (a US citizen) is that the German CEO resigns in disgrace and there are ongoing criminal investigations in Germany, but in the USA the CEO holds fast and blames engineers.

It seems like the German government is more competent that the US at enforcing laws against corporations, even when those laws are USA laws...

*EDIT: This comment is poorly worded. What I mean to say is, Germany is doing a better job at holding PEOPLE AT THE TOP responsible, whereas the USA is predictably allowing CxOs to plead ignorance and hide behind the corporate veil.

JFK's drug history is fascinating. The amount of drugs he was on during the Bay of Pigs alone is alarming.

The world was so close to nuclear annihilation, and JFK was on a half dozen drugs, including steroids, antipsychotics, and amphetamines, from the doctor the secret service called "Dr. Feelgood."

It's fascinating what presidents could get away with pre-Lewinsky.

> Non-deterministic boot order (man 7 bootup) is one of many undesirable trade-offs.

Yeah, also something I found annoying with Upstart's induction into Ubuntu.

A predecessor at a place I worked at with a huge amount of traffic installed Ubuntu 9 on all of our memcache servers, and we found on a handful of other machines installed with Ubuntu 9 that non-deterministic boot order would randomly cause them to fail booting, and it was a coin-flip whether that would be a one-off problem or a forever problem requiring a reinstall.

When you have 4 8GB machines (this was some years ago) powering memcache for a billion requests a day you don't really want a power cycle to cause 25% cache misses for hours as you wrestle with hardware and boot config. :/

This approach often works for third party services, too. For example, you can put a mongoconf/mongod/mongos triplet on every box.

If you are anal about getting every edge case correct, Unicode is a straight up nightmare to support.

Even in Perl's supposedly superior support has issues. See how deep the rabbit hole goes by reading the first response to the question here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6162484/why-does-modern-...

There is really no way for a simple program to account for all of those possible edge cases. Something as simple as a print of a string can be a minefield depending on what is in those characters. And it's not like the old days where you could safely filter out all non-printable characters to avoid most problems. Have you considered how your formatting is going to look when people intersperse Right to Left words in your output for example?

This isn't a matter of criminal liability, it's one of immediate survival.

If a violent aggressor who is shot happens to survive, the court can decide their fate later, but that's completely separate from the right to self defense.

This is the law that we, a civilized society, live by. If you don't like it, there are countries (UK!) where self-defense is almost entirely illegal - they may be more fitting.

Furthermore, we decree the right to self-defense as a _natural_ right, not one that could be potentially amended away.

Oxycodone aka Eukodal is not a "preform" of heroin, period. Hydrocodone, aka Vicodin, has nothing to do with heroin either. This is seriously bad drug information. they're just opiates.

Every extra cent I've had for the past 5-6 years has gone towards paying off medical bills from a hospital visit that exceeded my insurance policy's maximum by about $138k... I now have under $8k left to pay (everyone that would take sane payment arrangements or reductions has been paid off at this point). It's been very tough, I emptied my retirement accounts and have handed over tax returns etc. to pay it all off...

After this coming year, my plan is to start putting 20% of post-tax income into a Roth IRA.
I've known three women in the past year who receive benefits and do work under the table for cash. One told me a story about how bad it was when she started making more money and lost the benefits and how it "wasn't worth it." Another has two kids, is unmarried to get more benefits, and even though she job training said that she is never going to get a job that pays a lot because she wants to remain on food stamps. The other has an unreported side business that brings in about $1500 cash that she doesn't report.

Might be worth it for you to have a small place so there is literally "no room" for your partner's family...
I would also be in favor of factoring in "what kind of precautions did you take?" to the whole thing, though I have no idea how you could practically do that.

But I do think that most reasonable people would agree that finding someone's browser still logged in to Facebook and making a joke (whatever kind of joke that is) is substantially less bad than cracking the person's password.

Just the same as there are "breaking" and "entering" for forcing your way into someone's home (versus just "entering" if the door or window is unlocked) the severity of the computer crime is in proportion to how hard the people who owned the computer were trying to keep it under their control.

Don't have any kind of access control for your computer at all? Sorry, we're statutorily limited to the lesser charges. Fix your security and if this happens again we can nail them!

EDIT:
So if you say that the X axis is the amount of effort that the entity expends to keep the system secure, then the Y axis is the maximum intent that can be inferred, and your function is something that you think is reasonable like say y=x.

In other words, if a company makes no serious effort to secure their systems or control access no malicious intent can be inferred from someone "accessing without authorization", whereas someone who has to mission impossible style break into your facility says a lot about their level of malicious intent.

Have you actually been in a PhD program before?

Calling it "freedom" could not be farther from the truth. You don't get to work on whatever you want unless you want to pay your own way. Stray a little bit out of your advisor's comfort zone and prepare to be put in your place. There will be plenty of interruptions, and you will spend countless hours digging holes and filling them back up as you carry out orders from emails that you get at 2am from your advisor.

That salary is abysmal when you add up 80-hour weeks over 5+ years. Add in the risk of failing out of the program or quitting, and you would have to (in many cases) be a fool to take the deal.

It's great that you're seeing benefits, but I wanted to bring this to your attention (and anyone else doing long-term fasting) in case you hadn't already heard of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refeeding_syndrome. In particular, "any individual who has had negligible nutrient intake for more than 5 consecutive days is at risk of refeeding syndrome".

I don't know in practice _how_ big the risks are - I've been meaning to get an official medical opinion for some time - but I've started trying to take it into account for my fasts (usually two or three days) and plan accordingly (drinking rehydration salts while fasting, and breaking the fast slowly, with plenty of milk for phosphates).

Apologies if you already knew about this.

What, exactly, would you have us do to "regulate cars like guns"? What safety features are missing from them? How many accidents can be traced to a lack of inspections or the like (a few, I grant you).

Can you make a case for insurance requirements? Seeing as how we shoot billions of rounds per year with few incidents, and only 600 accidental deaths per year. Guns are much easier to use safely than automobiles, and the 25% decrease in fatal accidents during a period in which the population and number of guns increased by roughly 50% indicates there's not a crying need here. We gun owners do, you know, teach gun safety and proficiency, that's what the NRA was about until the mid-'70s, when they couldn't ignore the political threat.

Most of the rest exists, e.g. taxation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittman%E2%80%93Robertson_Fede...), or is a non-starter in an environment where the people proposing these measures continuously demonstrate their bad will.

Registration? Sure, go ahead if you want a 2nd Civil War, we know our 20th Century history. Never again are not empty words to us.

I resonate with your comment. Thank you. I value sleep over all things. My life and daily decision making revolves around "Will I lose sleep over this?"

I do this too. Funny enough, my checking account earns a higher rate on the first $10k than my "savings" account, but I use a split direct deposit to grow my emergency savings and then try not to look at the savings account to reduce the temptation to use it.
So, the USA is just an extraordinarily violent country? And it has nothing to do with guns?
I had the prospect ahead of me of always being poor. I decided to forego some immediate pleasures like having cable TV, expensive Internet, eating out, seeing lots of movies, new clothes/shoes, name-brand products, etc. so I could save up, go to school, and get my life in order.

What you mention may well be their line of thinking. Nothing wrong with people thinking whatever they want. I simply did not want the kind of future that such a lifestyle would bring me (i.e., remaining poor).
A Short History of U.S. Bombing of Civilian Facilities
This isn't my department, so I can't comment on the details of processes, but there are teams working on content acquisitions, and there are individual curators, and there is also an algorithm for non-curated countries. We definitely look at the data for analytics on the past programmings to understand what worked or didn't, but it's more as a guideline for the curators who have significant latitude to program things in a culturally relevant or timely fashion (eg. programming The Iron Lady the day after Margaret Thatcher died).

As I mentioned in another thread, we did try the data-driven recommendation engine approach and did not achieve great results. We definitely believe that the human element of our editorial voice leads to a greater level of trust with our subscribers, and enables us to introduce hidden gems and lesser-known films to a wider audience.
> Try killing someone for robbing your house.

In most jurisdictions this is completely legal under most circumstances. You can't always kill someone fleeing your just-robbed home (state-specific laws), though.

If someone breaks into your home with the intent to felony, in my state, yes, you can use lethal force to stop the threat or apprehend the alleged felon.

My school had "Social Implications of Computing" but it was more focused on research ethics, reference citing, IP, privacy, and security type issues.

Also, since we are CS and not Professional Engineers, we did not have any ethical ceremony like Order of the Engineer.

Some type of Professional Ethics course is part of the ACM model curriculum for computer science (https://www.acm.org/education/curricula-recommendations), but I think how that's fulfilled varies widely across universities.
> You call Perl 5's use of reference counting "undefined behavior"?

No, I call counting on the fact that items with no references will be reclaimed (triggering DESTROY) immediately when they go out of scope undefined behavior. The fact that it happens very fast in most cases because it's reference counted and not garbage collected is not something that should be counted on. In fact, I'm pretty sure there are cases where in very tight loops, DESTROY isn't called immediately on scope end. I vaguely recall having to deal with that problem (but it could just as likely been a bug of mine that appeared to indicate that until I found it).

Anyone suggesting a "shot to the hand or leg" has never used a firearm.

Sorry, I don't care about a violent criminal's life enough to try and take a well-placed shot at a small, moving extremity.

No police officer would attempt this, either, if they're following their training.

Center-mass shots are more reliable, and more importantly, more reliable under stress (larger target).

"Patching up" my aggressor is the least of my concerns morally and legally.
" I wonder about running a DoS attack on universities with such agreements"

No. Just stop. You'd be messing up the lives of grad students and network admins by taking such actions. Get off your keister and out from script-kiddie land and do some direct action protests against the administration if you care so much. They're the one's making/enforcing policy.

I don't know, there's something to be said for a language that isn't a moving target.

No, both Bing and Yahoo! lag far behind Google. DDG seems to be catching up though.
Google Container Registry is definitely a lot faster than DockerHub in my experience. However, it is still lacking some important features, like being able to delete an image. We have a CI pipeline building Docker images and pushing to GCR. This is using a ton of storage and there is no documented method to remove un-needed images. They did recently add an option to un-tag an image by clicking an "X" on each tag, but it still doesn't remove the image from the Google Cloud Storage bucket that it is stored in, just removes the tag. Occasionally we will have issues with using the "latest" tag as well where we can push an image to latest but when we retrieve the image, we get a previous version. For the most part we eliminated using the latest tag, which is probably a good idea anyways.
Yes you get it. And guess what? When they put the minimum wage up the rentiers will all put the rent up. All productivity gains are captured by the landlord in a system of land enclosure.
