I was part of a team hired to create training videos on the banking system "updates" after the OKC bombing. This was the first time I had a look under the hood of a redundant system with Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and further systems.

Primary and Secondary were running 24/7 with Secondary being in exact sync with Primary. If Primary or Secondary went down, Tertiary could be brought up in sync within 24 hours. Primary and Secondary were geographically separated (east/west coast). Tertiary was in the mid-west. After that, the additional facilities would take days to bring up, and then a bit of time to sync.

The specific bank is no longer alive as it was consumed by one of the "too big to fail" institutions.
As others have also speculated, it's likely to be some auto-moderation system going haywire, either on its own or because of a change in one of the bazillion other services below it. It might require creating special one-off tools to crawl through logs and find the affected accounts, so it might take a while, but undoing 99% of the damage as automatically as it occurred should be feasible.
Driving any kind of sedan at night is basically torture now.
This also makes me wonder who will be providing software & security updates for the current crop of EVs in 15-20 years time?

They are basically 2-ton computers on wheels, capable of inflicting huge damage if / when they are hacked or experience a catastrophic bug.

Who will be responsible?

I hope no vehicles rely on a valid SSL certificate.
Sounds like a big MLops failure, a bad model or threshold combined with bad monitoring or controls.
I think she using "male" and "female" to refer to sex. In which case, this would be a true statement, regardless of one's opinion on the validity of 'gender identity' as a concept.

Maybe throw in a landmark forum, after you failed your first startup. I've actually seen people walk past hundreds of homeless people in the mission as if they don't exist, only to sit down in a flat in the middle of them to tell your tech buddy (me) that they're changing the world with the next photo sharing app. I had a little dystopia vibe, but then again I grew up in Europe so what do I know.
You can also do this with GUI apps like App Tamer※. I use this myself to limit CPU consumption of hidden background apps (but not visible apps in the background), optionally running on the Icestorm cores only as well. Lots of options and ways of being configured.

The article says:

> Similarly to how the Wii Remote mangles the Bluetooth protocol to avoid third-party usage

with "mangles the Bluetooth protocol" being a broken link. Anyone have information on this? I'm interested in how so.
Interesting comment in that thread that's essentially saying the main person involved in the decision is involved with webp and avif:

I don't miss code merging via zip files - but sort of miss not having to depend on a search engine to code. Coding magazines and books were the stachoverflow of today. It also meant you had to read source code to learn stuff... I still do so.
Re: writing, there are also people making decent money with web serials and Patreon (then publishing to Kindle/Kindle Unlimited). I suspect the most successful ones are exceeding Stephen King levels of output.

You'll find some of them on Royal Road. Lots of fantasy, litrpg, xianxia - fluffy serializable things.
I think the answer is yes, but the only way you get the dynamo of our core(thus strong magnetic field) is that collision, but that's just my fuzzy understanding from occasional reading over the years.
There's a growing body of evidence that Earth has already been visited numerous times by something other than humans.

Certain classes of UAPs demonstrate flight characteristics that are not possible given our current understanding of gravity and aerodynamics.

Dozens of credible eye witnesses from multiple countries; fighter pilots, commercial pilots, nuclear physicists, and high ranking government officials.

Source "In Plain Sight", US Navy fighter pilots David Fravor and Ryan Graves, etc.

People are quick to dismiss these stories as hoaxes or bad memory, but scientific discovery almost always starts with an unusual or unexplained observation.

Uranium was discovered in 1785 and ionizing radiation wasn't discovered for another 110 years in 1895. True scientific understanding of new observations takes quite a while.

There is still a manual high beam, which is what I use. Same interface as any other car.

Part of me hopes he does, because that's the only way the Tall Poppy Syndrome folks have any chance of learning. But most of me has more empathy than they do.

> Unfortunately, this palette does not pass WCAG[1], which seems a weird thing to not have tested for if you've made a palette intended for web UI.

...can't you just use an accessibility extension to change the color scheme of a website? This seems like a solved problem. Extensions have been able to swap CSS for ages now.
Still, some of the engineers here might be able to provide additional insight into the design.
It's probably the auto-high-beams, which is one of the sub-par driver aid implementations on Teslas currently (along with auto wipers, and 'smart driver safety features' that regularly get alarmed --and shock the driver with loud alarm noises-- during totally safe driving.)

I haven't paid too much attention, but I believe auto-high-beams are turned on when you use autopilot, and then need specifically turning off. I do find that when auto beams are turned on, the car is less inclined to respond to me when I try to operate the lights manually.
I have a commonly misspelled name and thank you, yes, this is my number one pet peeve.
Perl is a scripting language. To me it's very similar to Python and a Lot easier to learn than something low level like C that doesn't have everything built-in and just available for you.
I'm struggling to think of ways in which WWI 'worked out just fine' unless you count getting rid of the Romanovs and (most of) the Hapsburgs.
What makes it ridiculous? Not all nuclear wars need be hundreds of nukes.

The military has to plan for the full range of the scale, from small brush fire near a minor ammo depo to full blown WWIII. But the part that is 75% towards full blown WWIII is so often overlooked by commentators it's like it doesn't exist. I could come up with 100s of scenarios where most of the internet works but there is a recently-started nuclear war. (India vs Pakistan, for example.)
Thanks so much for Solarized. Really changed the way I think about syntax highlighting and UI! Have you run common color/font configurations from Solarized through WCAG’s contrast checking tools? As I create more and more UIs I’ve become increasingly aware of contrast for accessibility and I was wondering what your thoughts were in this regard.

Slack Is the Modern Knowledge Base
Okay, I see you and I are coming at this from very, very different philosophical viewpoints. I do not care what the founders intended, I don’t live in 1786. I am sympathetic to Elie Mystal’s view from the book Allow Me To Retort towards the Constitution.

To summarize:

“Our Constitution is not good. It is a document designed to create a society of enduring white male dominance, hastily edited in the margins to allow for what basic political rights white men could be convinced to share. The Constitution is an imperfect work that urgently and consistently needs to be modified and reimagined to make good on its unrealized promises of justice and equality for all.
And yet you rarely see liberals make the point that the Constitution is actually trash. Conservatives are out here acting like the Constitution was etched by divine flame upon stone tablets, when in reality it was scrawled out over a sweaty summer by people making deals with actual monsters who were trying to protect their rights to rape the humans they held in bondage.”

Tesla created the modern electric vehicle industry. They're innovators, sure, and they push limits, but their priority has always been to actually build. And they do.
Red Hat made a gamble and it may turn out to be a miscalculation. By buying CentOS and leaving it be, they had tighter control over it's release cycle (how fast patches and newer versions were made available etc) as well as metrics on who was using it. Additionally, all of the CentOS users were still "in the Red Hat family" and at least kept the door open for future conversions/sales. They threw that all away now, they don't have any control over these forks and have wasted a lot of goodwill on short term profit.

Red Hat should've gone with the Ubuntu model instead and maybe even change to usage based pricing instead of a yearly subscription too, IMO.
Yeah, it's definitely great but also terrible that bugs can be patched so easily now.

You really ought to consider why before calling it stupid. EVs are basically a non-starter if you need to tow or drive long distances quickly for reasons such as children and trucking.

No, federation works great in practice. I personally chose an instance I trusted to stay up and available, not one with any fancy domain or topic.

You can usually browse an instance without having an account, for example: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/explore (user directory) https://mastodon.gamedev.place/public (stream)

And once your instance federates with it (happens automatically, just needs any user to follow any user on the other one), you can search for hashtags.
As others are saying - their auto high beam lights are not great (and never been, after years and years of trying to solve that with vision, instead of simple sensor like everyone else).

But also, their auto-leveling can be subpar (https://tesla-info.com/tips/headlight-alignment.php). So you maybe blinded by low beam lights that are mis leveled.
this is a very interesting take. Is it a sample of personal research or is it based on some external source?

I have this exact view that "everything is politics". For profit businesses are just a particular case of a top down authoritarian political structure, but they work politically too in the broad sense, people fighting for power, influence and resources. it's the only constant i can think of regarding human behavior across cultures and types of organizations.
Lots of coding was done on those printouts also - you'd print out your function or your program and sit back and mark it up - especially if you were discussing or working with someone. Screens were small back then!
I did not see the actual screen where it shows you what you were banned for, I just helped my mom submit her driver's license photos and so forth, and it wasn't until a couple days later that she was presented with a screen that, by her description, was essentially identical to the twitter screen that shows you your offending tweet, and asks you to remove it in order to continue using the service.

EDIT: found the photo my mom took of the ban screen https://i.imgur.com/VeA3Nz2.png

Hotz has always come across as very arrogant to me. Claims everyone else is doing things the wrong way, claims he can do it himself in 24h, then never delivers on his words.
> ...and thus they've forfeited their rights to run a website.

You cannot forfeit a right. The right either exists or it doesn't exist. Anything that can be forfeited is a privilege. Free speech is a right, but using other people's hardware to do so (via hosting/CDN services) is a privilege.
With Linux+glibc, malloc() makes use of different syscalls. Beside mmap(), there is also brk() in use: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/sbrk.2.html

The big question about all that is when this memory is actually being released back to the OS, because by default it isn't really. That also means you can trigger OOM faults despite the process having free memory even (which the OS sees differently).
My family members account is back up now.
Indeed, she is one of many women who are completely fed up of being talked over on women's issues by men who identify as women.

It wasn't really the appropriate forum for her outburst, but I think many of us can empathise with the sentiment she was expressing. The subsequent overreaction to her comment kind of proved her point too.
The point of the article is that there are useful heap memory management techniques that live between the extremes of malloc and free pairs and garbage collection.

All of my formal instruction in C never mentioned this middle ground and it took both trial and error and working experience to learn about memory arenas.

Also, I’m convinced that evangelizing Rust memory safety has probably done more harm than good because to outsiders it is being made to seem like anything done in C is wrong and stupid and therefore no one should pay any attention to anything that has ever been written in C.

One of my worries before I start working in Rust is that I won’t be able to use my knowledge of resource management in C. That’s not the case at all but it takes having to filter through flame wars to figure things out!
That's no easy feat
Minor correction. The Wii came with Opera Mini, aka the "Internet Channel" in 2007 https://learn-about-anything.fandom.com/wiki/Internet_Channe...
30 years ago was right around the time I wrote JPEG viewing software so I could look at JPEGs on my computer. :) I mean, I got the actual JPEG decoding from whatever the standard open source implementation was at the time, but then paired it up with my own code to display to my graphics card, which could handle a rather fancy 32K colors. Then I could view JPEGs downloaded from Usenet.

Those were my college years. Prior to that, in the mid-80s I developed in Forth / 6502 assembly on my Commodore 128 at home, and QBASIC (sigh) on IBM PCs at work. After college, we were programming in C++ on Gateway PC clones -- had one at work, and a slightly less powerful one at home. A helpful co-worker introduced me to Perl, which quickly became an essential tool for me. Around this time we finally had version control software, but it was terrible.
The problem is with default values: they are not sent over the wire. You cannot determine whether that false was deliberate or the sender just forgot to set it to true.

I understand that "elastic" contracts may make some stuff easier. They do not help in forcing developers to create a message correctly, unfortunately.

Still, it's great to see someone is tackling the validation rule topic. One of my stakeholders is very… enthusiastic about validation. Just goes to show how bad software engineering is in practice in this org.
This makes me want to constrain every web page to the icestorm cores. If a web page wants more than ~5% of a CPU, I want that web page to die.

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm almost tempted to write a script to do just that, and either relegates CPU-hogging processes to the icestorm cpus or just kill -stop <process id> them
I use tiled TIFF with jpeg compression for things like this. You get good compression, support for huge sizes, and wide compatibility. TIFF supports image pyramids too, so you can even get good interactive performance.

No direct web browser support is the only big downside :(
Please don't do this. You're basically speculating about stuff where there's zero supporting evidence, trying to look for holes in a story to blow it up. It's more likely there is no interesting story there- much more likely that the official story is the truth. If you have specific information, please share it with journalists, rather than speculating irresponsibly on this site.
> For example the Nintendo Switch had very mediocre system performance

Nintendo Switch had the most powerful GPU of any mobile device released at its time. Furthermore it has 4 GB of RAM. Just the Cortex A-57 CPU wasn’t bleeding edge any more, having been replaced by the Cortex A-72 by the time of the Switch with a higher IPC of 16%. It was a well balanced system.

You might be mistaken because mobile CPU performance grew in an unparalleled explosive fashion, and the Cortex A-72 was already replaced by the A-73, A-74, A-75, A-76, A-77, A-78, and A-710 by now. But this is unfair to a system where its design was frozen already 6 years ago.

It just means that, if a successor Switch is built the same way, and a Cortex A-78 is used, its CPU would have ca 2.6x IPC. If it ran at twice the clock speed, its CPU performance would be 5.2x.

You’re being unfair because CPUs grew so much.
Um… The default color scheme? Unless some color is not designed to be be readable on my background, in which case I customize it and turn off the colorization for that text category.

I mean, I don’t really care about colors in my editor, but I don’t want to be like those people who get all huffy and turn off all colors just because. But I do need to be able to read the text, so I occasionally change it.

There are rarely laws that say you may not kill another person. There are typically laws that lay out the consequences if you are found guilty of murdering someone, through a designation (eg if it's a felony offense, and what type of felony).

Whether you're guilty of murder or not is of course established after the fact. And you can do nothing wrong in the act of killing someone and still get screwed by a jury. Just ask the political left what they think of Kyle Rittenhouse being innocent.

You can certainly follow the law and go to jail regardless.

While it has been multiple decades now since I've been in school, this by far, was the best explanation I've read on how/when/where/why of imaginary numbers. I don't recall ever hearing polar anything related to discussions of "i". Thanks. You've now filled my "learn something new every day" quota.
Personally, I'm a fan of eight eights, because nine nines is a bit excessive.
I'm not sure if my perspective is warped or yours is, but from my standpoint this is all pretty common in corporate America. Companies are acquired or merge and most everything changes - polices, training, perks, and almost always significant layoffs. Similar things usually happen to divisions and groups within a company as leadership changes. Has this really not been a thing at places like Twitter?

The difference is that usually it's not covered minute-by-minute on all the major news outlets.

No one would want to be in this situation yet it happens every day. Where I'm at, new VPs take over our division every couple years and every time they reorganize everything, rename everything, promote some people, lay off a bunch of people, bring in their "people", change polices and procedures, etc. It sucks but it's part of business as far as I can tell. If I walked out every time this happened I think I'd be hard pressed to keep a steady job.
Hotz - long time reader here. Good luck with Tiny Corporation. Don’t stop writing these blog posts they are fantastic.

Thank you @ra7 for posting this.
Two things I want to add (better as a comment than edit):

1) I don't use Solarized everywhere religiously. I use it a LOT, no surprise. Still my preferred color scheme in most editing, terminal, code situations. But I am happy to use other well designed colorschemes in various contexts (writing, task management apps, etc.). Even when Solarized is available, sometimes variety is what's called for.

2) Solarized was designed to enable the colors to be used in high contrast modes as well. As my eyes age I sometimes will apply the colorscheme in a higher contrast mode. This adaptability is sometimes overlooked but it is inherent and intentional to the design.
Nice to know, in this dark age, there are still true Heroes walking among us.
