If a tiny, strictly conforming ISO C program obtains a tiny block of memory from malloc (like a few hundred bytes) and crashes when trying to initialize it, that is almost certainly a non-conforming ISO C implementation. The reason is that the implementation cannot support even one single program that exercises each of the implementation limits.

See 5.2.4.1 in http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1548.pdf

However, it's true that not any old instance of this malloc problem demonstrates such a nonconformance. If it happens in a large program that has allocated gobs of memory, then no.

Basically if the system is low on memory that it can no longer support the execution of a small C program with modest memory use, then it becomes nonconforming.

However, the mere property that memory can be doled out by malloc which might later not be used doesn't make it ipso facto nonconforming.

Moreover, a system with any kind of memory management (including management that earnestly reports null for "out of memory") can be come a nonconforming C implementation if it is low on memory.

I really can't see it. It would take a huge team YEARS to do anywhere near 99.9% compatibility for windows 10 on linux.

No way they would break compatibility like that. Especially since they are continuing win32 based APIs into the windows store.

Your much more likely to find something like the next XBOX running linux. Then servers before it will be anywhere near ready for desktop usage.

Don't work in such place then? Seriously, there are always good and bad places.

In fact, when you said "two nines" -- this is like 15 minutes of downtime per day -- I immediately thought about one of my jobs (long time ago) which involved website running on Windows Server, using a mix of ASP and DLL files. It would routinely go down for tens of minutes each deployment because someone would update the DLLs in the wrong order.

There was also using PHP with Apache. As a sysadmin, remember all those times when you had to hunt all the Apache-spawned processes and kill them by hand, so you can finally apply new configuration? Or when an .so file update made an app server not start, but that darned start-stop-daemon was silently eating both exit code and error message?

It got much better in the sysadmin world -- it is now easy to do the sane things, and all that containerization means that if programmers do provide something insane, it is trivial to clean up the mess.

Yes, there is a cost of time and aggravation without congestion pricing. That's the point! When you decide whether to make a particular trip, you're deciding whether to impose the time/aggravation cost on everyone else using the road (because an additional car slows every car down some), but you don't pay that cost; they do. (As you pay the cost of their decisions.) It's a kind of tragedy of the commons, like the exhaust going out the tailpipes.

Pricing at the marginal cost aligns the incentive structure. What you said was like saying "There's already a carbon tax! That is, there's already a very visceral cost imposed in terms of the climate change we're already seeing." Hot weather doesn't get people to stop spewing CO2 out their tailpipes; expensive gas does, which is what a carbon tax is supposed to be about.

If people don''t realize that LGBTQ is pushed on us on a daily basis they are blind and stupid. Presbyterians are a small minority , I am not one by the way, and I don;t see them on the news and in every television show every minute of the day. Its obvious there is an agenda. take a look around how many transgenders do you see not many. since the new push is for transgenders. I bet in 5 years we will have them everywhere and we will pretend they where always there and its always been a thing. oh and if you mention it to anybody you are a conspiracy theorist lol .

I'm So Happy
I remember my experience with hackers i contacted online, i almost lost hope in finding out if my husband was loyal to me and has been loyal in our 20 years marriage, i lost a lot of funds in paying these so called hackers so i made up my mind that if i get scammed again i'll just forget about finding out what God doesn't want me to know, Then i saw reviews about ( mikejosh@cyber-wizard.com ) and decided contact him and if and if i hear any stupid excuse won't contact anybody and just accept that God doesn't want me to then he proved to me that he isn't a cheat by working a sample job for me but to my greatest surprise he did the job and sent results to me fast, i was so happy but sad part was i divorced my husband, and i will drop an advise for people who wants any kind of hacking services stopped being scammed by people who impersonate being hackers, contact ( mikejosh@cyber-wizard.com ) for a fast and clean job. Thank me later.
Can you choose different optimisation levels for the CPU? e.g. OS level control per thread or process.

The exact equivalent problem occurs with C optimisations, but at least you can choose -O0 to either:

* change -O level to see if a bug disappears,

* or change -O level because reliability is more important to your application than performance (or vice versa).

My limited experience is that for small contained cancers imaging can't predict the future course for the tumor because you need cellar resolution that you can't get without a biopsy and a microscope and or genetic tests.

Even then it's really common to see a biopsy come back as 'indeterminate'. If it's indeterminate then now what? You either punt and do nothing or go for excision.

Consider this tidbit: A lot of slow moving low grade cancers it hardly matters when you find them. Early or later matters little. Whereas aggressive cancers often are untreatable. Find them early, find them late you'll die either way. And fast growing cancers often fully develop between screenings.

They can still use them if they meet certain criteria, and show that they 'need' them. The overuse probably comes from the incentive - Google is incentivized to encourage the use of captcha because it is curating a data collection for ai training. I imagine some of the 'gaslighting' that people experience is when they are given images that don't yet have a confidence rating high enough. I wonder if answering incorrectly often enough would result in being asked fewer questions?

Absurd is putting it strongly, perhaps overly so. Small children damage a lot of stuff, I've seen it myself! Kids pull or trip on charging cables, spill juice in the car, get their grubby/sticky hands on stuff.

The company will become disfunctional if dishonesty and distrust fester among the employees. SMB, in that Reddit thread would be an example.

You can follow two paths: purge the dishonest or develop the honest. If you can screen for honesty in the hiring process, it would be smart and efficient to train for a culture of honesty and have a process to rehabilitate when pissible. Outright criminality is surely a deal breaker, but most people who are worth hiring are worth some effort to keep and develop.

"Just Culture" is the actual name for what we are discussing here.

Restaurants are an interesting space but all around hard to make money in. Restaurants just don't like to spend money where it isn't absolutely necessary. So it's hard to sell them ads or online services.

You could look at letting restaurants claim their listings and offer them a pro package of services. Maybe menus, or even try offering online ordering. Being local you have an advantage that you can easily meet with restaurants in person.

I am always drawn to developing something for restaurants as their websites are notoriously bad, same with only ordering most aren't near as easy to use as they could be.

I don't think ad revenue is going to bring in a lot of revenue. Maybe $7 to $10 per 1,000 page views. So with less than 1k views you'll probably need to look at monetizing another way if that's your goal.

If you just want a fun website you can improve and run as a fun side project, keep going.
On the one hand, I can see what you're saying. On the other hand it seems like Microsoft has been caring less and less about breaking things lately. Personally, I dread this future because it will mean that Linux Desktop has won, not by being actually good but because everyone else just abandoned personal computing as a serious goal.
It's a valid comparison. Long ago it was ok to kill your enemy. Not long ago it was ok to have slaves. Today either is a sure way to end up in prison. Standards are rising. IT is a very new thing and the society and the laws are behind a bit. Adtech uses this to extract profit while it can. But this will end. Soon it will be a crime to store personal data: names, location, anything like that. GDPR is just the beginning. Adtech will fight, but it will lose. This business will disappear entirely, just like slave labor. In far future it will be a crime to be intrusive: any unwanted ads; and mining personal data will be seen like cannibalism today, i.e. even criminals will consider such people as freaks. Right now we are in the era of wild west in IT.
Is it me or is this article so poorly written that the main point of the article -- where the thing is -- is not even described coherently?
I agree that conceiving of nothingness is hard and as yet unsolved.

but I fail to see how this is related to your first statement.
>but nothingness in fact isn't an impediment to creation because nothingness just isn't.

Again the statement that nothingness isn't an impediment, literally can not be proven. Because of that, you must leave open the potential that pure nothingness might be not only an impediment to creation but it might also be the ultimate impediment to creation of something.

We dont know what the properties of nothingness holds in our universe or how our universe of stuff behaves around nothingness.

Most estimates put the cost of driving (in the US) at around $.50 to $.60 per mile. Assuming this is somewhat on par with Europe. Guy’s costs were likely around $1.50. After Uber’s cut he’s “making” like $3?

That's what I don't understand. If you're building a bot to get past reCAPTCHA then you're almost certainly in some selenium/chrome headless environment, with full chrome support of cookies, Javascript, you name it. There's certain methods of detecting such environments based on their environmental variables there were again more work around to patch those.

Also the fade is irrelevant because the bot already has access to the image without the fade (although it still has to await the fades completion to continue).
Yes, this.

Politically correct mobs are changing the world for the worst. In today's world, Eddie Murphy wouldn't make it out the door. And we would be worse off for it.

So attackers cannot password spray. This is typically after attackers has gotten access to the latest database breach, and are just blindly trying username/password combinations.

A simple ratelimit takes care of that. Plus, it's not like attackers would be easily defeated by a CAPTCHA anyway --- there are services selling batches of valid tokens, likely generated by actual humans or very close emulations thereof, for ReCAPTCHA.

The mainstream media decides what gets published before that content ever even reaches Facebook or Google. In terms of censorship power, the mainstream media is actually further upstream than social media and it can be argued it has more power to decide ultimately what gets published and what doesn’t, especially considering it purely uses human editorial judgment rather than algorithmic.
Totally this, I'm British and am probably more exposed to american culture than other nationalities on average, and yet recaptcha still sometimes leaves me clueless on some americanism, that is when it's not driving me crazy with it's infinite loop.

A similar issue with a phone company lead to the first creation of an automatic telephone exchange[1]:

>Strowger, an undertaker, was motivated to invent an automatic telephone exchange after having difficulties with the local telephone operators, one of whom was the wife of a competitor. He was said to be convinced that she, as one of the manual telephone exchange operators, was sending calls "to the undertaker" to her husband.

I don't know the answer, but I'm going to guess that it's because they want to build or rebuild their credit, and would not be eligible for credit cards otherwise, even at a rate of 28% with unsecured credit. For example, maybe they have recently become bankrupt, or their credit score is really bad, or they have no credit history, so the only way they can get a credit card is with a secured card. This would allow them to build positive credit history in a way that paying with cash or a debit card would not.
Some of these I do, and some I would do given the resources:
