Worked for a company which ran into an S3 bucket naming collision when working with a client - turns out that both sides decided hyphenated-company-name was a good S3 bucket name (my company lost that race obviously).

One of those little informative pieces where everytime I do AWS now all the bucket names are usually named <project>-<deterministic hash from a seed value>.

If it's really meant to be private then you encrypt the project-name too and provide a script to list buckets with "friendly" names.

There's always a weird tradeoff with hosted services where technically the perfect thing (totally random identifiers) is too likely to mostly be an operational burden compared to the imperfect thing (descriptive names).

They were above-weight for an emergency landing at SFO. Also, with the loss of one tire, even if they were within weight for an emergency landing, the additional pressure on the remaining tires from the full fuel takes could have caused a catastrophic incident.

In other words, it was safer for the plane to continue to its destination, since the reduced weight from fuel consumption during the flight would make a landing safer and the remaining tires less likely to explode.

* Staph infection - grows according to bacterial contact surface area, which is exponential speed

* Fort Worth, TX population growth - This is more logarithmic than exponential. The faster that city grows the more the rate of growth accelerates. Its not exponential because those two values, growth and acceleration, are not bound by any fixed ratio, but the numbers are still remarkable enough to defy expectations given the current size of the city.

* Compound interest

* Fig leaf area expansion - The total area covered by a fig tree's leaves increases exponentially from early spring to early or mid summer. The bigger and higher quantity the leaves become the larger and more numerous they can become up to a point when the tree halts growth for the year.

Good lord. I was not aware of this guy before, but his position seems to be akin to suggesting a woman deserved to be raped because of how she was dressed.

Hey I can shed light on this. It’s the iCloud keychain. Disabling the keychain doesn’t delete existing entries. There is no way to modify the keychain on iOS (you can on Mac). Lots of apps store sign on data in the keychain for obvious reasons.

It would be really great to have a keychain section in iOS’s settings, like Keychain Access on Mac. The dev can build in-app functionality to delete keys from the keychain, but there’s not a huge incentive to.

Keychain storage doesn’t let FB track you, just store sign on info, keys, and the like. It’s not able to execute arbitrary code, it’s an encrypted place to store login info that Apple syncs between your devices.

Use them via Safari if you don’t want this (then your logins are saved & synced in Safaris keychain.)

> because they are inputs into other processes

CVEs should never be the input to anything except a triage pipeline, which in turn feeds other processes. If you don't have a competent pair of eyeballs (either internally or from a vendor) looking at CVEs with the context of how the impacted product is used in your organization, all you are doing is busy work.

Almost all end user organizations (not software vendors, OS distributors, etc) should pretend CVEs don't exist. Blindly apply all your OS and software patches within 24 hours of them being available and be done with it. You are much more likely to suffer a business loss as the result of a vulnerability than you are a patch application.

You're misrepresenting why people attend university. Academia is first and foremost a network and a means to gatekeeping. Not all of us are gifted.

edit: rollout guidance servo is of early interest:

"On February 28, 2024, the Systems group met at the Collins Aerospace facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa to examine and test the SVO-730 rollout guidance servo removed from the incident airplane. The testing was conducted to evaluate the effects that temperature “cold soaking” of the servo might have on the torque required to move the servo’s output crank arm. Testing at room temperature found that the torque to rotate the servo’s output crank arm was within design specifications. The unit was then “cold soaked” for 1 hour and the test was repeated. That testing found that the torque to move the servo’s output crank arm was significantly beyond the specified design limits. Because the servo output crank arm is mechanically connected to the rudder input torque tube, the restricted movement of the servo’s output crank arm would prevent the rudder pedals from moving as observed during flight 1539 and the test flight. Further examination of the SVO-730 rollout guidance servo will be conducted as the investigation continues.
Important caveat:

Fourier series is a discrete sum over integer multiple of frequencies, while Fourier transform is a continuous integral over all frequencies.

The former works for periodic functions, the latter for an arbitrary function. Because you need all frequencies to bound a function.

Don't say intuition; our intuition sucks. Don't say the need doesn't require some scientific standard of proof; if it's false, it's a waste of time or worse, gets a negative return on the time.

It's actually extremely easy, you could get started within hours at this point, with all the infrastructure for finetuning LLMs these days.

Beyond the hobbyist/research level, people have noted that ChatGPT-3/4 are pretty good at chess, and the reason for that seems to be that they dumped an ELO-filtered PGN dataset into the training corpus (for unclear reasons, given how much data that would be but also how useless that would seem to be).

with respect to capitalizing 'cyanide', there is a fable told by aisopos about this https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/public/gdcmassbookdig/...

> When people go on a voyage they often take with them Lap-Dogs or Monkeys as pets to while away the time. Thus it fell out that a man returning to Athens from the East had a pet Monkey on board with him. As they neared the coast of Attica a great storm burst upon them, and the ship capsized. All on board were thrown into the water, and tried to save themselves by swimming, the Monkey among the rest. A Dolphin saw him, and, supposing him to be a man, took him on his back and began swimming towards the shore. When they got near the Piraeus, which is the port of Athens, the Dolphin asked the Monkey if he was an Athenian. The Monkey replied that he was, and added that he came of a very distinguished family. "Then, of course, you know the Piraeus," continued the Dolphin. The Monkey thought he was referring to some high official or other, and replied, "Oh, yes, he's a very old friend of mine." At that, detecting his hypocrisy, the Dolphin was so disgusted that he dived below the surface, and the unfortunate Monkey was quickly drowned.

while i am not advocating drowning you in the mediterranean, i think it's reasonable that, if someone thinks 'cyanide' is a brand name, we should ignore their opinions about the toxicology of cyanide; and, if they express those opinions with great confidence, as you did, we should probably also ignore the other opinions they express with great confidence

It is often difficult to assess the consequences of a bug, especially in large and complicated project like an OS kernel. It could take lot of time, and it is easier just to fix the bug and err on the safe side by calling it a potential "vulnerability". Especially when nobody pays a bounty for proof-of-concept.
There's an interesting philosophical question: if we have a fediverse or open source ecosystem for communication that is deeply integrated into Big Tech, does that make the fediverse stronger, or does it neuter the impact of fediverse as a possible "infrastructure-level" competitor of communication and information sharing?

I was a BSD admin for 4 years back in the early 00s after running Sun Solaris DNS servers for a well known domain registrar. Ran Web servers, and later firewalls using FreeBSD. While I really like BSD for a server, I've had terrible times with it on laptops. I've tried them all: Free, Net, Open, Ghost, and others that are no longer being developed. I've standardized on Debian over the years because it just works. I buy refurb Lenovo laptops from eBay for about $120.
I would like to see BSD grow and become more popular on the desktop. For now, Debian is just super stable and good enough.
Labor is legally entitled to vote but practically prevented from doing so - time off from work is hard to come by in America and states like Texas make it a point to have as few polling places as possible with as few hours as possible in the locations that "labor" lives and works.

As someone who deals with art and artists on the regular, the thing most people don’t realize is how much our perception of them and their art is built on top of an illusion. It’s the artist’s job to create an illusion of a cohesive narrative. Sometimes that gets into artists’ heads and they’re overly afraid of breaking down that narrative, but sometimes that fear is absolutely justified. It’s a hard judgment call that unfortunately gets even more confused by the prospect of making straight bank
Well I think this is desired behavior. But what if you grab a slider (so that the mouse button is held down), and drift out of the window? I thought some versions of Windows didn't handle this well, the slider would jump back home or something unless you kept pointing at it. The way it should work: as long as you are holding the button down, it should not matter what the x-coordinate of the mouse is if it's a y-slider, and vice-versa.
They weren't deceased when they expressed the desire. You usually don't know when, exactly, you're going to die. Nobody would argue, I hope, with "I'm going on a trip, don't publish anything I'm not done with until I get back and finish it." This just happens to be a very long, one-way trip.

That said, I do think once someone is dead, there's some argument whether you have to respect that. But I at least understand the desire.
The debugger also lets you run a decent amount of code in it, making something of a REPL of sorts. You can modify the state of the program and see what it does in response without having to recompile your code.
> Bikes are in conflict with cars. Full stop.

No, they aren't. In particular, if you're a driver going from one side of the city to the other (or whatever) if the portion of cars in front of you which are local, short trips without much cargo could instead be converted to (e)bikes alongside you, you'd face less traffic and arrive sooner.

And for the last couple years, I've heard _so many_ people talk about how much they enjoyed riding their ebikes, I think we're really at the point where a bunch more of those shorter trips _can_ convert away from cars. The infrastructure that lets people feel safe without a car around them and _also_ gets them out of traffic (and prevents them from slowing down cars) can be a benefit for both drivers and cyclists in the right context.
