which results in the stack pointer moving outside of the bounds of the currently mapped stack region, jumping over the stack guard pages.

They don't generate stack probes? I'm used to this behaviour on Windows, where the compiler will generate code to explicitly touch the guard pages if it knows/suspects you may allocate more than a page:

Yes, I know if you try to get it to allocate too much it will still crash, but that would be an "out of stack" error, so I'm a little surprised at that description.
He is saying that non-google search engines are just repackaging google search results because no one actually has the resources to build a search engine anymore. Bing was already caught doing this like 10 years back if I remember correctly, and while I doubt Bing still does this, I bet a number of the smaller players do.

It's as easy as setting up a lambda with headless chromium and then integrating those results into whatever internal results your system has (if any) on the fly. Google is fast enough that this could be done without any perceptible performance impact, and that's ignoring the possibility of massive caching of common searches. It will look like normal web traffic to google, and the lambda network will result in a diversity of IP addresses, so it might never get flagged.
Many of the comments mentioned previously help and do make sense. However, I'd like to add .... find a good partner who can relate to you and hopefully not judge you. It can be a romantic involvement, a friend, a family member. Self-evaluation and self-prioritization of activities important for you is important and can be very helpful.
I feel you. I just bout a $715k house largely because I found it online, and went through an agent to show me the house and, I guess, do some paperwork for me? Her company made $21k off of the seller, and I'm sure she took at least half of it.

Probably 10-20 hours of work in total.
I recently got to know NIX, it seems pretty neat although getting it to work multiuser is annoying, in addition to installing it on Ubuntu via any sort of automation being a pain. Would be cool to see an RPM/DEB.
I didn't even try to get it running on FreeBSD because it seemed like a multi-day affair...
The pilots know that the trim is moving, it's connected to a wheel in the cockpit that's super obvious.

But the normal way of stopping it (the yoke) doesn't necessarily work, and the pilots wouldn't necessarily think to physically stop the wheel with their hands.
What does that mean? Creating a trebuchet doesn't give you the privilege to sling projectiles at the neighboring town, right?

You are allowed to do what you please with your things within the confines of the law. A government creates laws to promote the wellbeing of the populace. In this case, they decided that it's no longer lawful for Google to set a default browser, so Google shouldn't do it anymore.

Make college available for everyone for free, but make asking for and talking about degrees illegal in job interviews.

Force employers to actually vet people for what they know and can do and not force otherwise capable people to jump through expensive hoops to display pseudo-signals.

Not only will we be able to help people improve their skills as a society, but I bet college enrollment goes down across the board because most jobs aren’t that hard. Most jobs don’t actually need degrees, it’s just that degrees make hiring much easier.
Fantastic work! It was understandable enough that I was able to hack in support for a (quit) form in, like, 5 minutes of glossing through the code and seeing how you defined special forms (kinda useless since you can always press C-d, but it was a fun and quick first-step exercise in figuring out how I might go about extending it for use in various "real-world" projects).

I was really disappointed by this myself. Netplan seems slick, but I don’t want yet another new, distributor-specific way to manage this stuff. Red Hat seems to be quite good at wrangling such tooling, but I don’t know of a solution by them/others as slick as the netplan config.

It'd be a Vega 56 basis not Vega 64 but the problem is that "double the ram" part.

HBM2 memory is super expensive. Like, rumors are 16GB of HBM2 is $320 expensive. Toss in anything custom here and there's zero chance this is under $600/GPU.

Even in the hotly contested consumer market the 16gb HBM2 Radeon VII is $700. And that doesn't have any high speed interconnects to allow for sharing memory with CPU or multi-gpu.
> That's east to say from an armchair but on an aircraft everything is "safety critical" to some extent and you have to choose what gets redundancy.

In flight entertainment, non-emergency lighting, food prep, &c aren't "safety critical" any more than the TVs in hospital rooms are.

As a layman, I'd've imagined that all avionics and control surface control was redundant. Don't most large planes have redundant hydraulic systems and even a deployable wind turbine to run avionics and hydraulic systems under total power loss scenarios? (And hasn't that turbine been used a few times?)

Yes, weight is always a factor, but that doesn't mean that there aren't already multiple redundant, heavy, systems on aircraft.

What puzzels me is that there are 2 angle of attack sensors, but they're only connected to one of the flight computers each, with the other flight computer being the redundant one. What's more Southwest ordered the optional disagree alert, so there is some way to tie and compare these sensors.

Edit:

> The argument for considering MCAS, a system which is not necessary to fly the plane safely, to be "safety critical" is much weaker.

It controls the control surfaces; I'm not sure how it wouldn't count.
Even without thinking about protection, load balancing and/or redundancy is also of the vital to high performance application.
>I'm fairly certain that the characteristic "If this component malfunctions loss of life is one potential outcome" is a solid case for the component actually being safety critical.

The same thing can be said for literally tons of components on a plane. You can't have them all be redundant. At some point you have to pick and choose. A sensor for an obviously supplemental feature seems like a pretty obvious one to choose not to be redundant.

>I'm not sure what redundancy has to do with this,

I think the part in the GP comment where he/she state that "no matter the likelihood of failure, safety critical systems should always be redundant" has something to do with it.

Hi, I'm with the TextWorld team.

TextWorld actually uses Inform7. The framework first builds a game object (e.g. objects, locations, quests) according to some settings. Then, it converts it into Inform7 code before being compiled into a playable game. See https://imgur.com/oOcy5kk

Finding a wifi dongle with a free driver is more difficult than you give it credit for.

While testing out Trisquel, I sought to do exactly this. Turns out, the best resource we've got for checking wifi card compatibility with free software is here:

https://h-node.org/wifi/catalogue/en

So I settled on a TP-Link N150, which supposedly uses an Atheros chipset and a free driver [0], and is easily found on Amazon. [1] Should be all good, right? Oops! The newest revision of that adaptor uses a Realtek driver instead of an Atheros driver, so no more FOSS driver.[2] Your only option then is to order a specialized one from ThinkPenguin at a generous markup, which the average user is probably not going to know or think to do.[3] It's also not helping my sales pitch to prospective Trisquel users: "Please ignore the wifi card that your laptop came with and that every other OS supports, and shell out an additional 20 bucks so that your Free Operating System can actually use wifi.

To end the story, I returned the Amazon adaptor and never bought a proper one that worked: I just switched my Trisquel testing to a laptop that had an ethernet port.

Java gives you a flexible object oriented language and an incredible set of libraries. It's got an archiver for artifact and dependency management. It now has lambdas and has FRP style stream programming. I'd say it's kept up pretty well with modern fashion, while it's been doing other things far longer than newer, more popular languages. Take Swift, now my daily driver (which I love so much compared to ObjC, which I moved to after Java)... an example of something Java had way before Swift is "Protocol Oriented Programming". Also, Swing's GridBagLayout predates iOS' AutoLayout and CSS (edit: don't know where I was going with CSS haha...). Everything old is new again, and I'm sure Java reinvented a few wheels of it's own.

Also keep in mind that React is a library, not a language. If you want to compare things, compare Javascript to Java, or the Java stdlibs to React. Maybe that's what you meant when you said Java.

IMO, Java and its libraries are nicer to work with solely due to its static nature and OO design. It is worlds apart from a scripting language when you need to refactor, or even just understand, legacy code. And if you can't even run tests on that legacy code anymore, like a React project over a year or two old?

What are the better patterns and productivity boosts you get from React vs. a Java ecosystem?
I also found it in slightly poor taste, though I don’t think there was negative intent behind it. I cringed a bit at similar gags I’ve attempted.

I'm as suspicious of realtors as anybody, but this scenario here includes a real asshole as a seller. If she doesn't want to sell her house, she shouldn't waste everybody's time by putting it on the market. This sort of "just testing the market" shenanigan raises costs for everyone.

A Better Lesson: Comments on A Bitter Lesson
Aren’t minimalist operating systems often meant to run as guests under more complicated virtualization layers? Limited driver support, for example, can be an important part of the minimalism.
This is a cynical and funny comment, but I see from your profile you have a wiki with a good definition that’s probably worth linking to (https://devops.yoga/overview.html).
But this isn't really "avionics and surface control" more than automatic lane keeping is a critical control system for the car. MCAS is a convenience feature that counteracts the plane's tendency to pitch up more than you want when climbing. Sure it can improve safety, so can lane keeping in a car. Neither are critical to operation. You can fly/drive perfectly safely without them so they need not be super hardened against failure because you can just switch them off.
Agreed. I think Kickstarter employees jumping out and trying this is a good thing for the overall industry.

The majority of information I see online about software unions tends to be either anecdotal, or generalized across every industry rather than focused on a specific one (ie, on average, unions across all industries get X% higher pay).

This is being applied to a single company, so people who think it's terrible have no shortage of other places to go. It's high profile enough that Kickstarter trying to shut it down will get public blowback, so there's a better than average chance that they end up taking its demands seriously. It'll give at least one very tangible data point of, "here's what a software union in a software company looks like." And even if it does crash and burn, maybe we'll get some Kickstarter competitors out of it from prior employees.

I see very little downside. Let's have at least one trial somewhere, even if it's not perfect, that gives us at least some preview about what a US-based software union will look like.
Did you try blowing air through the mass from bottom up? It can help loosen the grass chips, reduce moisture and prevent agglomeration and is useful as long as the air flux doesn't prevent the grass from funneling down.

You don't have to convince European-demographics of this, they're already an overwhelming worldwide minority and shrinking. You need to stop importing third worlders into the West and go to their sources: Latin America, India, Africa, and convince them there to stop breeding (with Africa, cutting off food aid and letting nature take its course should do just as well).
Is this in some way related to the unionization efforts around what they see as Kickstarter failing to fully live up to the ideals of "inclusion and solidarity, transparency and accountability"

Until recently most people just took the provider that cane with their isp because they were usually tied together. It was either that or AOL.

I'm aware of such services; however, I said "high-performance server". Where do I get a 72-thread server I can build OSX software on? Nowhere.

More importantly, who has a scalable cloud where I can spin up as many such servers of varying sizes as I need?
Maybe this is where Kotlin fits in.
The critical point is unboundedly attacker-controlled sizes. A reasonable limit, specified and then carried into the implementation, would've prevented this bug easily.

Speaking of limits, this is something that I think deserves more attention in education --- does the algorithm or code you create work for all inputs, especially those at the limits? Are you even able to determine those limits? Why does a path in D-Bus need to have a 32-bit length? Is 16 (64K) or even 8 (255) bits sufficient? If not, why? Can it be made sufficient?

Asking the important questions, learning, and understanding is ultimately going to be a far more useful than the current "just cut off the limb" attitude toward security that seems so prevalent today. Those questions should've all been asked and clearly answered at the design stage.
Both are at fault. The existence of the FAA does not absolve Boeing, their executives or their engineers, of blame.

Fascinating stuff. If you’re using BECs rather than waste product, have you started to look into how to minimize full-lifecycle energy usage? (Plus water, nitrogen, agricultural crowding-out, etc.) And are you trying to scale up to a centralized production model, or focusing on on-site hydrogen production with logistics from the farms?
Besides what others have said a lot of Patreons success comes from the value add pledges have on the platform. When you go to a creators page on Patreon you have pledges on right, recent posts in the middle, and info on the left. Half those recent posts probably say "patreons only" or "$15+ tier only".

Like it or not getting sustainable patronage like that requires that the donor get something in return to capture audiences the way Patreon does. It doesn't necessarily have to be what Patreon gives you - usually exclusive posts on the Patreon page, maybe recurring rewards that cost a lot less than the pledge tier - but independently implementing that outside of the website would be at best expensive and at worst ineffective because Patreon has the patronage "mindshare" and people "trust" it now.
It is pretty shocking this wasn't noted as a serious incident needing investigation before more flights were undertaken.
You need to take the library approach. It's much like react vs angular. With angular, and spring, you get a ton out of the box but much is mediocre.

Like React, you can out together your own "best of breed" java stack. It just takes a lot more work.

Look to replace one component at a time. For DI Guice or Dagger2. For REST Vert.X or Jersey. Logging Logback. Metrics, DropWizard Metrics. OAuth ScribeJava. Hibernate for Spring Data.

Take a look at the "awesome java" repos and choose your poison.

I'll warn you now that while you can end up with something far better you lose the coherency of Spring. Of your organization doesn't have a good "apprentice" setup all the new devs will be utterly and hopelessly lost. And good luck finding a Dev that knows 20+ libraries vs "Spring".

Rolling the libs was worth it for us but probably not a lot of eng orgs

If you're just looking for a drop-in Spring replacement you can't go wrong with DropWizard. It's a solid combo of best-of-breed libraries and has quiet support/adoption by many huge companies
You can go above and beyond during designated work hours.

To allow work outside of these hours is a race to the bottom in a rat race to see who can no-life it the hardest for the least money.

Better yet is when you type "Ar" looking for "Arrow" and get

1) Arrow

2) Arboles

3) Area

And then type another 'r' before you realize your result is there ("Arr") and as you go to select "Arrow" the auto-suggest results turn into

1) Array

2) Arrogant

3) Arrow

Like, how does adding the second 'r' make "Array" higher probability than "Arrow"?!

Alpine Linux, as I understand it, strives to be a lightweight and minimalist distribution of Linux. That's exactly what you'd want to run as a container, assuming you are going to run a Linux distribution and one that's different than the production host system.
0% chance this is a coincidence. Wild speculation but guessing he is getting pushed out as a concession to the people that want the union in a last-ditch attempt by the board to avoid the union forming.
They are displaying the same arrogance Google, Facebook, et al show in regards to their platform lock in and market capture mindshare. They expect to get away with a lot of user hostile behavior because they have network effects forcing anyone who wants to use something like those platforms to use their platform because thats where everyone else is.

> Here's a fact about unions: Average union wages are 18% higher than non-union wages.

According to the paper you referenced, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in private industries and under the category "Management, professional, and related occupations" employees earned more actually – $35.70/h – compared to workers represented by unions, who earned an average of $32.95/h.

I would assume the majority of software engineers work in private industries, thus would fall under the aforementioned category, and as a result would actually earn more by not joining a union. Am I missing something here?

Furthermore, it's unclear whether those wages include other types of compensation, such as stock grants and bonuses for example, in which case the difference would be even greater.
