It's quite common to use crash dumps. I run a game server, we compile our release builds with debug info and deploy them to production. Sometimes the server runs for hours before crashing so we can end up with a pretty big dump. When the server crashes, we grab the dump and the correct debug symbols and we at least get a call stack to investigate and (hopefully) come up with a reproducible case.

At a previous job, we developed a desktop application. When the application crashed it would allow the user to submit the core dump to our crash system. We would then have a crash dump + application version and we could investigate customer issues to see if there was a bug or something like out-of-memory issues.

Fairly standard practice for a lot of shops. I haven't seen it for web applications since it's mostly dynamic languages with exception handlers that ultimately trap the exceptions (e.g. sentry).

CalTrain explained.
What if they didn't torque something right? Or made any mistakes/caused damage and then the next person who drives it ends up injured or dead? At least a large fine and probation would be appropriate.
Inevitably you will get "Plane crashed as pilot in command attempted to control plane while toggle was in opposing position" and someone will say "okay, you should add a warning light" and then the same thing will happen and someone will say "there are too many warning lights" and so on and so forth.
> I wonder if pilot training includes knowledge that yoke disconnection is possible.

Probably, I've heard https://www.youtube.com/c/MentourPilotaviation talk about it as well.
Hear.

The troll's business model is:

1. Buy patent (after due diligence)
2. Sue lots of easy marks (companies like OP's that will just write a check)
3. Use that money to fund suits against the tougher targets
4. Go for the big payday (a large jury verdict against a major company)

Where am I getting this? We had a talk by a former troll when I was in Google Legal.

So OP is at #2.
I think the argument is to switch it so things remain the same at first - 10% tax on 100k land is the same as 1% tax on 1m land+improvements. Coincide with an appropriate drop in income taxes and you could get something.

The key would be people agreeing in principle and then boiling the frog over a hundred years.

> I wonder what they'd do if someone rigged their install to feed their servers junk information. Is that possible?

I'd like to think folks would be willing to pay to do it, but unless a large number of people do they probably wouldn't care.

Companies who are collecting data for profit don't really care how accurate any of it is. As long as it looks real enough they can still sell it to data brokers (oh sorry, I mean the "third-party service providers that support our business and operations"). If it doesn't look real enough it's probably easy to filter out.

I have symptoms of an enlarged prostrate and can say I feel a lot better (physically) if I ejaculate regularly. If I go two weeks without it and then I do I feel some serious pain.

Sometimes I masturbate when I couldn't care less about having an orgasm just to manage my symptoms.
Panic is absolutely something you can train for and the human factor of flight controls is a central part of the design. Accidents heavily inform this design and training and control characteristics are always on the table as a response to incidents.
In cases like this it's almost always some variation of normalization of deviance.

If company culture doesn't strictly enforce callouts 100% of the time, it's easy to get into a routine of everything being just fine 100's of times until it isn't.

Really these sorts of things show there should be a failsafe mechanism that provides tactile/haptic feedback to the pilots if the other inputs are "fighting" theirs.

Even an audible alarm isn't enough, as you'll likely get more than a few of those during events where it matters.

Proper CRM of course should make this "impossible" - but in high stress moments any more layers of swiss cheese you can add the better.
Well it's better than nothing. But as I said, where I live (San Francisco) people bring dogs in stores all the time, and I never see problems. Presumably most of them realize that if their pet is going to poop on the floor or bark or snap at people, they just don't bring them in.

What are the shenanigans you are aware of with service dogs? Badly behaved dogs, or just people that lie about why they need a dog? My suggested plan would make such lying unnecessary since all you need to do is prove the dog can pass a behavior test, it has nothing to do with whether you supposedly need the emotional support animal. (and of course, this doesn't give anyone the right to bring the dog in a store or in a plane or whatever, unless the business wants to allow it)
My understanding is that with current generation GPUs a crash/timeout can happen. Again, you can do pretty much anything with shaders, so invalid accesses, infinite loops, other things that can halt execution are perfectly possible. It doesn't mean much in the way of security.

But they should be detected and that context killed (or reset in a way that may lose the current job's state) - all other contexts should keep their state. Though task switching is often a lot cruder than on CPUs, so during that timeout other tasks may be blocked - so other renders (including the window system) will be wedged until it's reset. This may mean that a bad actor with access to the GPU can try a denial of service style attack, throwing constant bad tasks at the GPU and causing it to wedge repeatedly, which can certainly be annoying.
I saw this quantified (I think at anandtech), something like 220GB/sec out of 400GB/sec on the M1 max. So something north of 50%.

Also keep in mind that normal x86-64's, even without an IGP only get about 60-65% of peak, even with nothing else sharing the memory bus. I often see this quantified with McCalpin's stream benchmark.

So the M1 Ultra likely has a pretty impressive memory bandwidth of around 440GB/sec, which isn't a large fraction of 800GB/sec, but it still more than any other desktop or server chip I know of. The AMD Epcy maxes out at 8 channels of DDR-3200, which is in the neighborhood of 208GB/sec peak, with an observed bandwidth of 110-120GB/sec.
I'd argue that it's a fairly safe assumption that someone searching for a recipe is interested in finding a recipe, not looking at advertisements. All else being equal I can't imagine that someone would _prefer_ more ads.

Companies prepare different books for the IRS and for investors. Amazon told investors their Rivian stake was worth $15.6bn at the end of last year [1]. They now have to revise that down. For the IRS, they probably held it at cost basis.

I'm Canadian. The issue is there are at least two completely different populations (not counting french Quebec though basically the same applies). Toronto, Montreal and maybe Ottawa + Vacounver are very liberal (in the elitist american coastal sense) and have nothing in common with the rest of the country, but control almost all of the politica because of their populations. The rest is ignored at best, occasionally leading to enough people being pissed off to try and stand up like what happened this year.

You can imagine whether it's electric cars or gun control or covid restrictions, the frightened majority in Toronto has nothing in common with the rural population, but they enforce their fear on the rest of the country and use them as a scapegoat or political target whenever they can because it's easy.

Meanwhile, the country has huge problems, the economy is an illusion propped up by massive government spending, healthcare is horrible and costs us more in tax than anywhere else. Our prime minister is the intellectual equivalent of a "valley girl" and refuses to engage in any substantive issues.

Anyway, the behavior of our government this year really does signal to me that canada is a failed state and something needs to change.

God no not Python. It’s easy to use but it’s something I would only put out there as a duct tape or personal use solution. If I know someone is going to have to look at it after I’m gone, I need something heavily opinionated and without too many syntactic sugar that slows down the refactoring/debugging process.
The theory goes that as those new rural communities develop the land value will begin to increase - which will in turn encourage densification to keep up.

We see this historically in frontier towns that had absolutely no limits on sprawl (as land on the outskirts was available to anyone willing to stead it) but still had city centers develop and usually to the construction limits of the time.
Yes, pornography is harmful when everything is considered. Yes, this is my held belief held partly from personal experience, and partly from limited study, and partly from how I was brought up. No, it is very unlikely that I will change my mind.

I am currently abstaining, and I have noticed changes in my life: mental health, social calendar, relationships. My sexual outlet is not just my hand in front of (usually) a screen showing impersonal images. My sexual urges are directed more wholly towards my sexual partner.

When I did not have a partner, I noted there was some frustration with errant thoughts. But, that virility of thought was to my benefit when I did find a partner. In the past, I've had issues physically with erectile dysfunction, or mentally with emotional engagement. The narrative fed to me in porn was so embellished so as to change my expectations in reality. Abstaining has helped ground me by not implicitly comparing reality to a contrived fantasy with a darker underbelly.

I also think, porn is an easy outlet for boredom and solitude, and not just sexual frustration. When I restrain from porn, I find myself occupying time doing other things. Granted, I may be unproductive. But, I've felt in the balance that I've eked out things more worthwhile of my time than just my ejaculate into empty air :)
Sounds as if you worked at places similar in philosophy to Amazon.

The Edwardsville, IL, facilty lacked safe rooms.

Amazon workers were prohibited from carrying personal phones on them through which they might have received warnings or summoned help.

Amazon workers requesting permission to leave, or questining whether they should work shifts after the tornado warnings were announced were told that they could not leave or must work under penalty of losing their jobs.

Many workers, all of whom requested anonymity to protect their jobs, said they had never had a tornado or even a fire drill over the course of their careers at Amazon, dating back up to six years. Several expressed that they would be unsure of what to do in an emergency. In one case, an Amazon contractor, fearing Hurricane Ida, asked to go home early but was told that leaving would adversely affect their performance quota.

...

Amazon has not responded to The Intercept’s requests for comment about why employees were not instructed to stay home amid the tornado warnings. The company took an additional step yesterday by encrypting internal help ticket messages about the Illinois facility, making them inaccessible to most workers, according to an employee who provided screenshots before and after the messages were encrypted. Amazon did not respond to a request for comment on why the records had been encrypted.

Felton said most of the 46 people in the warehouse known as a “delivery station” headed to a shelter on the north side, which ended up “nearly undamaged” and a smaller group to the harder-hit south end. The company said those are not separate safe rooms, but generally places away from windows considered safer than other parts of the plant.

“If you decide to return with your packages, it will be viewed as you refusing your route, which will ultimately end with you not having a job come tomorrow morning,” the dispatcher said. “I’m literally stuck in this damn van without a safe place to go with a tornado on the ground,” the driver messaged back before being told to shelter in place.

I’ll add one: there is limited time in life, and you cannot implement all the advice you’ll get about how to live a good life. A doctor will tell you to take care of your health. A sociable person will tell you to have friends. A traveler will tell you to travel. A priest will tell you to know God. A careerist will tell you to work harder. An entrepreneur will tell you to start a business. The list goes on and on and on.

Life is about what you decide to do, not about what others think you should do and certainly not about what some random old person says you should do because that’s what he wishes he did.

In my work, I regularly end up with cyclic data structures, e.g. the SSA IRs in several compilers I have worked on have oodles of cycles. And interpreters run user programs, which create cycles.

I don't think this is a particularly fruitful line of discussion to strongly claim that cycles can just be avoided, or worse, that you're an idiot for having them. It's needlessly inflammatory.
Nowadays planes will yank on the controls on their own initiative, most destructively e.g. in the case of a certain pair of 737MAXs.

They probably assumed that is what was going on. That the other pilot was doing something obviously wrong is not a natural assumption, when there is an alternative.

It seems like Air France has got some procedural drills to work on. One would have hoped that happened already. Somebody should check, this time.
My corollary is that the only person that my possessions have to impress is me.

The trick is recognizing if this will be fleeting or long lasting.

I've been working on molten salt reactor claddings for a few years now. MSRs are very safe.

First, there are two main groups of molten salt systems. One group uses generic salt to transport heat. This usually provides efficiency gains over water based systems. These are the systems that might leak sodium and it's no big deal.

The 2nd kind of system uses a salt with the fissile material dissolved in it. This is what the article is about. Leaks in these systems are not an option. The molten salt in this case slowly attacks any metal it comes in contact with. The tanks, tubes, etc. are designed with a large safety margin and constantly monitored. The salt chemistry is also monitored for signs of the materials the storage vessel is made of.

The problem is NOT too much to read. The problem is "curation". I have a shameless plug to offer - I curate from hundreds of sources and search for something that enhances knowledge/satiates curiosity and of course, it is curated. I decided not to have a newsletter-they have a poor opening rate and settled from a Telegram based channel. I have also switched on the ability to post comments, and you can also react to the stories. I am not promising any quick fixes, and if the article is behind a paywall, there is a permanent pinned message on how to overcome it. I occasionally post recommended books (with PDF's or epubs) and attendant commentary. Join on Telegram or use your browser. Happy Reading!

Cool things people do with their blogs
This isn't flying with a pet. This is your pet flying in a pets-only plane. I'd be concerned about the logistics.

The plane they show (presumably their best) is a turboprop. That's shorter range and slower than a jet. If you're flying somewhere and planning to drop your pet off when you get to the airport, even if you align departure times well, you might be waiting a couple hours for your pet to arrive on the other side.

While they appear to have a presence in the airport terminal (or strongly imply they do), I suspect there are still different logistics paths in loading and unloading the pets. Do they have to use cargo terminals?

Are there layovers on the pet's flight? On yours? What happens if one of the planes is delayed or the flight is completely canceled? There's not likely to be another Pet Airways plane sitting there as backup.

I can't imagine this would work at all without frequent traumatic experiences for the pets, where owners are separated for days at a time due to logistics breakdowns.
That's part of the story, but far from all of it. Operating cash flow is down. Free cash flow is down. (Net sales are up.)

It doesn't have to be full time of course, I wouldn't have the time for that either. I don't know the exact details but from my understanding, OpenRCT2 basically took a machine-decompiled version of the game and started replacing things with proper code as they went along, fixing bugs, adding things they liked... and just keep the dependency on original game files to avoid copyright issues: if you don't have the original you simply can't play. That might work here as well?
>The true story might be that the captain saved this plane with his nose down inputs.

Or the AoA was a product of the other pilot over correcting from what they thought was unintended nose down behavior. Hard to say, clearly bad procedure either way though. It's why there's clear protocol regarding who is in control of the plane.
FYI it's a riff on Carl Jung: "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves."

Agreed, it's a valuable insight.

This site is a scam. They can’t even spell “breathe” properly. Airlines have pressurized, climate controlled cargo areas where a small number of pets can be transported. They have strict rules and regulations about carrier sizes and other things that are there to ensure that your pet is safe. The site is pure FUD - saying that darkness is bad for animals is garbage. Saying that cargo areas can get above 140 or below freezing is not true for the areas where pets are shipped. How are you supposed to drive your pet internationally across an ocean? My money says that if you ship with this company, they will charge you a premium and ship your pet via the same methods available to you directly with the carrier. You should use a pet shipper because they will handle the paperwork for clearing customs, and they know the carriers who will ship your pet properly. I brought two 65 pound dogs from Chile to the US and spent $7k to do it because they are family. I also moved with three cats from the US to Poland and back, and then to 2y later moved with them to Chile. No one died in transit.

US appeals court ruling could 'eliminate internet privacy'
> Having lots of such work is no excuse to do it worse. It is however an excuse to have a growing backlog.

Unfortunately, examiners are evaluated based upon the number of applications they process.

Furthermore, when an examiner denies a patent or a claim, the patent application can be amended and refiled. Over and over again. Until the examiner grants the patent. Which still only counts as one patent toward the examiner's quota.

So, that backlog that you're imagining sitting there passively waiting actually represents an ever growing workload for the examiners, while their career-limiting KPIs get worse and worse.
