Most ransomware groups just want the money; they don't particularly want to inflict damage on their target. If their demand falls within policy limits, then they will very likely get payed. If their demand exceeds policy limits, then the target needs to make a much more active decision about weather or not to pay. Combined with the fact that exceeding the insurance limit likely puts you into a realm where you are asking for a some large enough to be a significant challenge (otherwise they wouldn't have bothered with insurance), and you are now reducing the likelyhood of getting a payout.

I would expect the net result of this would be that groups raise their demands to match what (they think) the policy limit is.

You said debuggers require learning "some special syntax", which is not true. This led me to believe that you weren't aware of things I wrote.

I haven't tried that, but apparently it should work:

The most commonly cited limitation I've heard is a max of 16GB RAM on the current M1 Macbooks. The limitation of a single external monitor is probably the second most common.

Re ventilators specifically, remember that we had basically no treatment for severe Covid last March. The best we could do was sedate you, force air into your lungs, and hope for the best. Now we know that dexamethasone helps in severe cases, we have monoclonal antibody treatments, and generally we are better able to treat someone who would have needed a ventilator if we'd treated them last March.

In general, I'm with the Tyler Cowen thought bubble: whatever we spent on actual treatments which didn't work out, it wasn't enough.

My solo entrepreneur journey so far
Last week I launched my startup called FlowCog, it's a fully pre-built cash and revenue projection model in Google Sheets.

I built everything myself, from the spreadsheet, to the Node/TypeScript accompanying Google Sheet Add-On. It took me about 11 months to build the spreadsheet, and to write and test the code that simulates staffing and customer behavior.

Oh, and I also livestreamed myself doing it on Twitch the whole time (handle is Here_for_the_life_lessons).

Now on to the hard part of selling it. There's a 14 day free trial, so any feedback on the website/product is much appreciated!

It's a shame really that most manufacturing of western (EU, US, most ex-soviet states) has been moved to the asian markets. Bert Hubert did a good article about this and the telecom industry a while ago[0].

We see this behaviour all throughout the western world, where we shift money around "creating value" without actually producing anything of note.

True, but what has made kidnapping mostly disappear is laws that make it illegal to pay a ransom. That makes it impossible to ask for help (as the police are more likely to find out) raising the ransom, and thus the total paid much less.

Nothing is perfect, but when there is no money in the crime there is much less crime. (Don't confuse less with zero!)

I LOVE the “Act 1” concept. I’m going to borrow this ;)
Cortex processors have a tracing functionality which allows capturing the entire instruction and data stream of the processor, allowing rr-style debugging. The main problem is this is almost always a very high-bandwidth stream which required dedicated pins on the microcontroller and a specialised (and usually expensive) adapter to collect. I've never actually seen it used, I don't know how many embedded developers actually use it (the only place I've heard tell of it being used is inside ARM). It's possible there's some configuration which only records the minimal trace needed to reconstruct the trace later in a way that is accessible to the software running on the chip (allowing extracting the data without needing a debugger attached), but I've not seen it, and the details of this functionality seem to vary substantially across different devices.
Europe is good at funding 1980s ideas, with stillborn well-connected development teams, using hard-earned tax payer money, with no results expected, just for bureaucratic self-service.

That’s a very cynical view and not accurate.

And as grandparent says, the robust protections offered in the US are a huge plus to consumers. In other countries they aren’t so generous as to forgive fraud and the like.

"DroidScript is an easy to use, portable coding tool which simplifies mobile App development. It dramatically improves productivity by speeding up development by as much as 10x compared with using the standard development tools. It’s also an ideal tool for learning JavaScript, you can literally code anywhere with DroidScript, it’s not cloud based and doesn’t require an internet connection. Unlike other development tools which take hours to install and eat up gigabytes of disk space, you can install DroidScript start using it within 30 seconds!"
Maybe the commenter has a very interesting use for it, but why would you buy a 256 GB RAM machine (which isn't a lot of memory for this arena either) to develop the model, instead of using something smaller to work on it and leasing a big cluster for the minutes to hours of the day that you'll need to train it on the actual dataset?

Some issues give you roughly zero feedback. If your error doesn't give you a usable stack trace this about the only option although it isn't probably ever the norm. But the key here is that it works with debugging/logging, even when the error is only a low probability issue the only shows up randomly in production. Debuggers are of no use in this case.
nginx has proxy_cache_purge (1), but I agree that nginx doesn't expose a particularly good API around its cache. Plus, the awkwardness of doing disk IO from OpenResty (unless this has been improved), is a drag.

My takeaway from this article was that the typical car review pattern of "show up at a random location, borrow car for the day, run random errands to empty the tank, refuel and return car" doesn't work well for EVs.

I had a manager who would ask "is that all you're working on?" if you mentioned working on less than 3-4 unique tasks.

This article seems to take it on Redis as it unproperly supports this use case, but Redis does not seem to be a right choice for a cheap vertically scalable k-v store. I didn't know SSSD but really you could have chosen amongst many other k-v stores or even memcache with disk support.

I guess the point is that someone chose Redis and soon realized that RAM was not going to be the cheapest store for 500Gb of data. But that is not Redis' fault.

It honestly sounds like you've come to allow all types of keylogging to become (to yourself only) allowable and called by any other name. Yes, if Google Docs does actually take each keystroke and record it and save record of it, even once backed out/deleted from a field, this is in fact keylogging.
Definitely a strong use case for a caching proxy like Varnish or Nginx. The post describes using Redis as an application cache which means your application needs custom logic. A cache lookup before going to S3, and then it needs to write back out to cache when done. Simple, but possibly a lot more work than necessary. A caching proxy does away with this, you make a single call to the proxy, which behaves identically to S3, and it does all the work for you. No application changes needed other than changing the S3 endpoint address. Also, much greater performance because you are potentially cutting out multiple costly round trips.
Yes? I think we all agree that the point of a debugger is to repair stuff that's broken, right? Do you actively read and improve the surrounding body of code while you use the debugger? If so, what do you get out of the debugger?

Sadly, I really doubt it. The standards committee seems mostly interested in adding new template metaprogramming features at this point. What I /really/ wish they would focus on is modules. 100% of C++ developers suffer from horrible compile times, and yet it seems to always get punted.

(Not to mention that forcing developers to write header-only libraries to use templates pretty much makes them way less attractive anyway)

Edit: maybe I'm wrong? It looks like modules are in C++ 20. No idea if any compilers are supporting them yet.

Going to the red sea I had a similar experience with the guide ending up going inside a wreck with a group where many just had the continuation course after open water, through no out-of-gas situation.

It is a common discussion topic I hear among divers, and almost everyone who been diving for a while has had a similar experience. Dive guides get basically all of their income from tip, and it creates a strong incentive for them to bring guests into areas which the guest might not be qualified to be in. Same for instructors at popular resorts.

To me the whole experience was a major incentive to get better training and gear so that next time I won't be under qualified to do the dive, and the more training and equipment I get the more I realize how dangerous diving can be and how little redundancy recreational diving have. The basic premise for open water dive is that you should be able to rocket to the surface at any point, and that there is a second diver next to you at all time. Being the last person inside a wreck is neither of that.

But I will end this comment by saying that one should not let guides ruin ones enjoyment of diving. There is a lot of great diving to be done within the limits of recreational diving.
