One thing about TV's is that they are grainy up close. Being a 55" you probably don't sit very close to it, but how does it overall feel e.g. in font quality? And I also wonder if it's good for your eyes to focus on something that's constantly far away. I would think a mixture of the two (normal distance to a PC monitor with frequent breaks) would be preferred.
I once had a conversation with a couple friends of friends who did targeting for the credit card industry, figuring out which demographics to send cards to. Their goal was to find people who paid responsibly and spent irresponsibly. If people who pay well weren't irresponsible enough in their spending, incentives would be provided. I'm sure this is even worse now with all the data and data-driven tools available.
My recollection, though, is that RR can only do single-core debugging, and it doesn't help with issues that involve multiple cores stomping on each other in multiple threads.
That is hypothetical, you are claiming companies have suffered damages, not that companies COULD suffer IF an exploit made it in.

Unwillingly the grandparent (allendoerfer) proves the Author's (Adrian Daub @TNR) point by resorting to whataboutism about America's shortcomings.

What has the US to do at all with this specific failure of Germany? And how is such whataboutism rhethoricaly honest, if the those american shortcomings are usually informed by other Germans?
Mad respect. I don't dive, anymore, but I think I only had about 30 or so in my log book.

What compounds it, is that we have an environment of "Macho Knuckleheads" around here. They will do things like dive the SD alone, and skip the decomp.

Not sure if this is what you meant but there's no actual "yield boundary," it's a continuous function. The table just gives examples of the function outputs.

I think you're overestimating the amount of ETH that will stake. Right now it's just 3%, and they think it's unlikely to go over 30% or so. ETH is used for a lot of stuff besides staking, with major uses so far including collateral for stablecoins and other defi, NFT purchases, and trading. The daily ETH trading volume right now is $34 billion, which is more than triple the staked amount.

Also, while losing over 1/3 results in a loss of finality, we'd be losing something that doesn't exist in PoW networks in the first place. The network continues to run[1], with a nonzero but low chance of reverted blocks, while the quadratic inactivity leak burns away stake until 2/3 of remaining stake is active again.

DDoS that knocked out over a third of the network, running on ISPs and hosting services all over the world on various independently-developed clients, would be quite a feat, and not likely to be sustained for very long. Since there will likely be plenty of non-staking ETH, more stake will be deposited after the attack, bringing the network back to the equilibrium of satisfactory returns. Or, if the attack were so severe it scared people off, then the price of ETH would also be affected, reducing the value of the attacker's stake.

The article does address the two points you mention, and also addresses contractual arguments and examples.

This sounds like a recipe for distress. Isn't the utility of the idea that whatever argument you face, whatever tort or contract or criminal allegation you are fighting for, your best will be better if you understand the logical premise of the argument and the way it is carried forward?

Not even macOS works flawlessly on the hardware, why should Windows and Linux do. But as far as it goes for Windows, not having every other update completely break my system would be a welcome change.

Why not an http proxy with disk caching, e.g.

location / {
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection '';
proxy_set_header .....

proxy_cache s3_zone;
proxy_pass https://s3
}

If you wanted to scale this to multiple proxies, without having each one be a duplicate, do a consistent hash of the URL and proxy it to the owner.

We used to do this to cache the first chunk of videos. Encoded with `-movflags faststart` this typically ensured that the moov chunk was cached at an edge, which dramatically decreased the wait time of video playback (supporting arbitrary seeking of large/long video file)

That's what I said, leftists.

Objectively false, these are not used in much of the rest of the world, in fact, they are not used much anywhere else.

>Whites and whiteness were a boogeyman for racial minorities for a long time before leftists cared about either.

Nope, if that was true, they wouldn't have flooded into the West in droves (slavery aside). Minorities still flood to the West by the millions every year.
With some discipline, you can also make those debug statements bonafide log statements, which you will likely need for production anyway. You can't do this with a debugger (although you can attach a debugger in certain circumstances, it is rare in production, it's not a complete solution, and it may violate compliance).
Just add more print instructions. And if that doesn't work, add even more print instructions!

Add some instructions to print "**1**", "**2**", "**3**", ... to see how far the program goes, which branches it takes, print a few variables that look interesting. If that fails print the uninteresting variables, remove "**1**" and add some "**2a**", "**2b**", ... in between 2 and 3 ...

After a while, you discover the correct spot and the correct variable, and the error is trivial.

> Compare this to debuggers, you have to learn the special syntax of the debugger...

In VS Code, you get the basic visual debugger UI that has been around for decades, to observe variables, set breakpoints, move about the stack, and step through the code. This works for pretty much all major languages. It's dead simple and easy to learn. It even works over SSH.

Now, if you insist on doing everything through a terminal, nothing will save you from a miserable debugging experience.
Omniscient tools typically require recompilation or reconfiguring of the world which introduces their own bugs and is prone to failure.

I can see an argument for this in any particular case. But then I think about the makeup of the US prison population and realize that I'm correct. You only go to jail for certain crimes in this country (not that I think we need to increase our prison population). You don't get peppered sprayed, tasered or shot for environmental crimes. Protesting environmental crimes? Absolutely!

> Just like with the soviet destruction of Aral sea to produce cash crops, in turn sacrificing 14% of its fish stock, it's usually short sight political decisions.

I would agree that short-sighted political decisions maintain the lack of enforcement of certain crimes. "Broken windows" justice is waaay easier. But the article and my comments were about the US, where capital rules. And you have to take the history of the justice system into account, and in the US you find it's intertwined with the plantation system, slavery, destroying labor unions, "protecting" against Native Americans and, more recently, the Post WWII corporate boom (contributing to corporate power). I'm not familiar enough Soviet history to say if any of this is relevant to your example.
pairing this with another comment by myself (about multi-monitor support beyond only one external monitor). I wonder if this is the main reason that Apple didn't support more than one external. Does the issue exhibit itself even more when additional monitors are connected? To be clear it never occurs with my main MacBook Air screen (only the external).
I agree with the sentiment, but the analogy is not a perfect one. Hammers and screwdrivers are alike in that they are both simple tools that do different jobs. Meanwhile we’re talking about tools that do the same job, but of different capabilities.

Log or printf debugging is like a shovel, RR is like a steam shovel, and Pernosco is almost like the entire railroad logistics system set up by John Stevens for digging out the Panama canal.

He completely rebuilt the rail system so that trains were moving past the shovels in the cuts continuously. Each shovel would simply unload dirt on whatever train car was closest. The trains in the cut moved slowly and never stopped, so there was always a car available. At the fill sites where the dirt was unloaded, he built what was effectively a huge plow system that would scrape the dirt off of the flat–bed cars all in one go (The French just had hundreds of men climb into the cars with shovels to dig the dirt out of the cars, effectively handling every shovel–full twice). The result was like a continuous conveyor belt over 50 miles long. He also built towns, stores, machine shops, water treatment and sewage systems for the towns at either end of the canal, and allowed Gorgas to virtually eliminate mosquitoes from the canal zone.

Pernosco is more like the entire logistics system than the steam shovel, though there are still a few rough edges and some features that I wish it had.
It's a really well written article, thank you for the work!
If something happening in society or your personal life is preventing you from doing your job, you don't have to explain it in the company wide channel. In fact, doing so probably won't help you or the company much. Most companies offer sick days and mental health days, for which you don't need to provide any explanation whatsoever. Many companies also pay for confidential mental health services. If your problem can't be solved with those benefits, disability insurance is also commonplace at companies and typically covers mental illness that would prevent you from doing your work. Companies should offer all of those things if they don't. I would go so far as to say that companies should be legally required to offer all of those things if they don't. But I don't think talking about personal or societal dumpster fires in the company chat will do anything to help the person affected, and will likely cause one person or group's problems to affect the work of the rest of the company without leading to any kind of resolution for anyone.
This sounds perfectly ethical to me but it's not clear what value it provides. People who are part of the same church or gym already have the opportunity to get to know each other by being in the same physical community in the first place and don't need a website where they can interact with the same people but online. If they do want that, they're likely to just set up a Facebook group. While the obvious disadvantage there is now Facebook owns their data, but it's also free and most people are going to choose free.

Ironically, online venue for a real-world network limited to verified members of that network was what Facebook itself originally was, until they realized opening up to everyone was the difference between a novelty for college students and a multi-trillion dollar world eater.
Does it support two 4K monitors now?

I have an old Macbook from 2013 that runs Linux now with an Intel integrated GPU and it supports dual 4K monitors at 30Hz. I use the Thunderbolt ports as Mini DisplayPort outputs and connect to two 4K monitors with DisplayPort and it works fine.
Actual Damages is generally a legal term in which someone has to point to an actual dollar value of the damages they suffered. i.e John ran into my car, here is an estimate for $1,000 to repair the damages.

Trust is very hard to make an actual damages claim for, it can be done but outside of the Linux Foundation I am not sure what companies would have an actual damages claim
The link doesn't refute the J-shaped curve, but rather that small to moderate amount of alcohol has health benefits.

"Therefore, although there is a strong body of evidence that shows a J-shaped association between alcohol intake and mortality, it seems likely that the link between low–moderate intake and improved survival is not causal, and there is no ‘safe’ threshold intake below which drinking gives benefit. However, from an individual older person’s perspective, low–moderate alcohol consumption carries only small risks, and these may be counterbalanced by the pleasure obtained from drinking."
I would not seen "difficult to talk to" as punch or uncivil, at least not in general case. Specifically in the context of conversation that goes nowhere. It is (slight) criticism and simultaneously it is opening meta discussion about "why is this conversation failing". But criticism is allowed in polite company.

From what I understand, ransomware insurance is already a thing. With the policy you get someone who negotiates the price and pays the ransom directly to the ransomware gang, which bypasses some laws against paying ransomware directly.

In theory, this helps with lower prices, negotiated support policies with the ransomware criminals to ensure the decryption process goes well, and they keep cryptocurrency available so the policy holding company doesn't have to scramble to get millions of dollars in crypto in a day or two.

Similar to kidnapping negotiators, ransomware negotiators often have the experience to produce a better outcome

I don't think it is an arms race; that implies if you keep plpaying you're really just buying time and raising the stakes until one side ultimately wins all in a zero-sum game. SPOILER: the image classifiers will not only win in the end, all that defense you played is now fuel to make them even better.

I think a better notion is that of sunk cost. We have lost any approach that fights AI head-on. We should stop chasing this path and switch tactics, like changing online behaviours, education about privacy or, since developers love technical solutions, pursue technology solutions that leverage AI against this sort of cause. Example: what if we all switched to a morphing, deep-fake enabled visual representation? The better image identification got the more intense the msitakes would be.
What extensive damages could anyone have suffered from their actions? Anyone can knowingly or unknowingly submit "hypocrite" patches.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing, I hadn't seen this before. Edit: Actually I looked at this before using SSDB and it was overly complicated for my use case.

We went with SSDB because we already used Redis and SSDB, were very familiar with them, and had already worked out any pitfalls with using them. Wish we had found this sooner, thanks!
it does mean doing the wrong this is worse than doing nothing. See: opportunity cost.
Print debugging is perhaps just a sloppy version of debug logging.

I can't quite tell if the author is arguing against DEBUG/TRACE logging which is the gold standard in debugging, particularly in low reproducibility and multi-threaded/actor-based systems or systems with many 3rd party dependencies.
In a way I think this was somewhat inevitable. Arbitrary code execution is somewhat commoditised.

As a mathematician, I would claim that math at its best is exactly about riffing and jamming on shared fundamentals and adding your own insights. But it is often misunderstood what these fundamentals are: not the proofs or the formulas, but the elements of logical reasoning that make it possible to say with absolute certainty that given some conditions, some statement must be absolutely true.

A riff on a proof in geometry isn't changing a few of the letters around to see if still works - it might instead be about changing the assumptions. In plane geometry, the angles of a triangle sum to 180 degrees. But what if we are not in the plane, but on the surface of a sphere, such as the earth? Does a triangle connecting the north pole to two points on the equator still have the sum 180 degrees? If not, can we prove something else about it? In the context of the original article, it might be something like "Can we use any parts of our proof about pentagons (5-cycles) for some other shapes? What about hexagons (6-cycles)? Or is there even any insight we can generalize so that it becomes a statement about cycles of any length?"

Sadly, this is way too seldom the way math is taught. I didn't enjoy the endless calculations of long division in grade school, or the memorization of different tricks for solving trigonometric integrals in college, either.

For a famous mathematician quote, how about Paul Erdös concept of "a proof from the Book" - said about math proofs that are so perfect and clear that they must be in God's celestial collection. Often, there is more than one way to prove something true - checking every example by brute force would be the most extreme - but sometimes you can discover an elegant argument that just convinces everyone who reads it that it simply must be true. That could also be thought of as riffing on a proof: Ok, you convinced me that this is true, after many boring pages of calculations - can I find a simpler way to convince myself of the same thing, and improve both our understandings?"
