Given the prevalence of undefined behaviour, a C/C++ system should be assumed to contain arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities until proven otherwise. So in practice most C/C++ programs that process data can interpret code, even if they weren't intended to.
We use Confluence for all sorts of stuff and there's a blog category. It's full of stuff. Some of it would make a great public blog (in fact, one cool investigation is getting turned into a public blog right now). Some of it is so internal and full of details that it wouldn't do well publicly but is good for others inside the company to read (and a good way of having a memory of how we did something).
Huh? That's irrelevant and wasn't a question you raised before.

The implementation was different in this case though, so apart from the above the answer to this question also doesn't support what you are arguing.

We at msb.com have been looking at this problem for a while. While we're mainly a k8s training platform, we've been slowly adding more features to make it more like a "developer experience in a box" and one interesting use case we've come up with for companies to put their own internal content that works on our infra (basically their whole ci/cd setup, git practices etc.) for the purpose of onboarding new engineers.

It's not really medical advice in the sense someone would normally think of it, it's vacation safety advice. While one should probably treat the words of any salesperson with extreme skepticism, a lot of people don't, and those most at risk (the elderly) use the official word of their cruise company as their main source of safety advice (usually of the form "get this vaccination" or "beware this part of town" or "this kind of tour operator on shore is a scam"). And regardless, salespeople are absolutely expected to be responsible for the claims they make, regardless of one's views on how much they should be trusted.
> This kind of selection bias applies to everything, e.g. you don't see the news stories media doesn't report on.

Traditional media like TV or newspaper or a YouTube channel, agreed. On some media you (partly) do tho ie. they allow more transparency.

I remember (back in 2002 or so, not sure nowadays) on Indymedia they had an open publishing method. All declined articles were in a recycle bin. Admitted ones were in the newswire, starred ones in middle.

HN has a "new" queue. Everything from there which does not get enough points, does not get reported, as it does not reach the front page (nor page 2).

Either way it is a shitload of work to go through this manually, though.

It's certainly a terrible time for games in development, with work collaboration maybe disrupted and with all the big publicity events getting cancelled, and it's a bad time for other media that bank a lot on physical releases (e.g. theatrical releases for movies getting pushed back), but the at-home media out now could find an audience with more time than they otherwise might have.

This all seems off-topic to me.

> still get treatment

Everyone always seems to forget about this. According to the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act[0], any hospital that accepts Medicare must "provide an appropriate medical screening examination (MSE) to anyone seeking treatment for a medical condition, regardless of citizenship, legal status, or ability to pay." And if it's determined that treatment is required, or the patient's health may be in serious jeopardy, the hospital is required to treat them until they're stable.

In other words, if you show up at the ER, they're required to run tests to see if you have a life-threatening condition. If you do, they're required to treat you until you're stable.

Everyone makes it out like US hospitals will simply turn people away at the door; in fact, they can't (assuming they accept Medicare, which most do). They'll at least find out your status, and treat if necessary.

If you've ever been in an ER waiting room, you've seen this posted.

What about the vast majority of people driving to work instead of using public transport? I agree with the posts below, commuting is a waste of my time I’m expected to pay for. Another way to look at it, why are we generating all these pollutants to run our transportation systems twice a day for people who are either incapable of working at home or need some sort of social interaction while at work (the most ridiculous pro office work argument I’ve seen today so far)

We are really lucky at Cloudflare having a just amazing designer https://twitter.com/kkblinder who can create an illustration or diagram so fast I still don't know how she does it.

More recently, she helped me with state machine images in this piece: https://blog.cloudflare.com/details-of-the-cloudflare-outage... Here she did them in the style of an old CS paper.
This might be my bias as someone who mostly writes in actor-based concurrent languages, but: is there a reason to test the service’s back-to-life-ness by passing a real request through, rather than just having every open circuit trigger the creation of a periodic background “/health”-endpoint (or equivalent) poller actor for that backend within your service? To do the check within the client request lifecycle seems like it would needlessly increase client-request 99th-percentile latency for no real benefit, other than the single request which doesn’t time out, closes the circuit, and so gets served from the service.

ETA: you could even—presuming your system does solely idempotent stuff—take the exact request whose timeout caused the circuit to open, and pass that request (the particular query for SQL; the particular URI + POST/PUT data for REST) to the poller-actor you’re spawning to use as its health-check. Once that request doesn’t time out any more, you know you’re back online.

I’d recommend a real separate /health endpoint for the service you’re trying to contact, though, because 1. most applications do non-idempotent things, and 2. some queries time out because they touch edge-case bad/unscalable code paths, not because the remote-service-as-a-whole is down. If your `SELECT * FROM expensive_generated_report_view` SQL query times out, you really should not be reusing that query as a health-check against your RDBMS. (But nor should you just be doing `SELECT 1`!)

you're in luck, the new generation the Ryzen [3,5,9] 3000 series CPUS and X570 chipset motherboards are finally breaking the generational gap. A decade ago I got an i7 desktop and it serves me well today. These new systems look to be (a) worth the upgrade, in terms of better performance, and (b) hopefully well made enough that some might last out another decade.

I don't know if Intel will manage to blight innovation and keep the market static as they have the last decade, or if the "upgrade cycle" will begin to make sense again down the road.

Also: 4k monitors are worth the price. Pixels will make you happy.

Finally, I advise spending at least twice what you initially think necessary for the mouse, keyboard, etc ancillary interface stuff. People skimp on these and then spend years with a crappy keyboard and growing RSI. Buy the good monitor stand and the wide mouse mat or fancy trackball or whatever.

Actually if the satellites are moving you may not want a heavily directional antenna since that adds in a fair bit of mechanical complexity. There are several antenna designs which have relatively wide radiation patterns, but that depends on the needed strength.

That would obviously work for detection, but would be complex and expensive. I would be surprised to see such complexity from the CCP in short order unless Starlink turns out to really disrupt the firewall in a widespread way.
Naming decisions are pretty inherently creative, I don't this this argument works. "Stack", "push" and "pop" are obviously novel imho. The inventor of the stack api could have instead called them "LIFO", "Put" and "Take" for instance.
Yes this immediately needs to be flagged as “not a newly-emerged JavaScript framework” in order to keep the front page in harmony.
We use this quite a bit but we actually have a constant timeout with random "jitter" added to it. You almost never want the timeout completely randomized because there's a chance you'll get a zero.

The US only had 15,000 polio cases in 1900. Right now there are only 1,000 known Covid-19 cases in the US but that number is doubling faster than once a week and without people freaking out about it it'll end up infecting more than 50% of the population in a few months.

Sorry, ambiguous language. "treat" in the general sense, not specifically in the sense of medical treatment.

Specifically, I would like the doctor to say, "Stay the eff home and keep your germs to yourself, sickie."

More doctors doing this would also help put pressure on employers to change their policies. Maybe (dare I dream?) we can even get restaurants to start giving their employees sick leave, and encouraging them to use it, instead of requiring them to show up and germ up all the food on pain of losing their jobs.

We like to encourage developers to go for certifications in the technologies that we use (AWS certifications, Snowflake certifications, etc). Our vizualization folks get Tableau and PowerBI certified. We also have some Tableau admin certified people. This way you have a measurable qualifier that someone is training in a relevant skillset. We allow developers to spend a certain number of hours per year on training, and reward them with raises (500 or 1000 dollars per year) when they achieve their certification. We are flexible about what certs people go after (as long as they are relevant to the business). We also try to send people to conferences hosted by the relevant company once they pass the exam (re-invent for example).

For certain things, yes. For other things, no. For instance, I find "all hands" meetings at work to be a complete waste of time, except maybe for the possibility of socializing or getting a free lunch. I could learn everything I need to know from these meetings in a few minutes just by reading an email, instead of wasting an hour of my time listening to bosses drone on and on about stuff or show photos of their families and dogs.

Basically, I think the key is latency. If you need to communicate two-way to work out issues, then you want low latency (because each response of yours depends on the other party's last response), so speech is quickest. (There's also texting, but that sucks because the data entry method is so slow; I don't know why so many people prefer it to talking, even for conducting intimate relationships.) However, if the communication is one-way (like your company disseminating some general information for all employees), then at least for me, reading is much, much faster than listening to someone talk.

With my limited knowledge on the matter, NOD32 (ESET) has 3 processes : ekrn.exe (SYSTEM), eguiProxy.exe (User) and egui.exe (User).

egui.exe is responsible of the UI interacting with the user and seems to not be running at all if the user never brings up the UI.

Considering the memory usage of the UI (~25 MB), looks like they choose to run a very lightweight UI (tray icon only) with eguiProxy.exe (2 MB) then start egui.exe if the user brings up the UI.

To be noted: the memory usage of the UI is almost the same as ekrn.exe which I suppose is the AV engine (1)
