How the lock-up looks in practice: RAM is mostly full with heap/stacks, there are a few MB available for disk cache and all processes fight each other to have their own code mapped into the remaining MB. Reading disk I/O is fully saturated at this point.
> and block those IP addresses from the service ports since the traffic source isn't to be trusted

Don't get me wrong, I want to do the same, I run a lot of servers and see all the automated nonsense aimed at public servers. However, you should consider the fact that today blocking an IP is akin to blocking a street, a village or sometimes even a town. For ~better or~ worse we now live in the age of CGNAT.

If your threat model and use case means you only care about a known subset of users with static IPs who are lucky enough to not share IPs then fair enough; but if you are running services intended for wide spread consumption you are likely blocking legitimate users without even knowing it.

I've posted below about squat toilets, but you might want to try them if they are an option. Honestly, I'd glad I practiced a bit and learned to balance in a squat than have to sit on the (usually filthy) seats in most public toilets. But one of the most interesting things is that when you squat, your posterior is in a much more suitable position for the activity and there's a lot less cleanup required. Not always, but fairly often, the first wipe already results in such a clean tissue that you don't even need to bother with a second wipe. YMMV of course, and it also depends what you've been eating!
I love learning new languages, and working on something this incredible would be absolutely amazing.

Sounds like someone has just discovered pointers and thinks C is the only language that lets you use them.

By modern standards C is not a very good language.

Is this really from real world experience? And is that only in certain conditions?

My experience is really the opposite from this. Thrashing was a normal occurrence on my desktop, where it went into non-recovery and a manual hard reset.

And also, with 16GB ram and 4GB swap, my running applications got moved to swap. Switching tabs in Firefox will be slow because it has to come from swap. My swappiness was set to 1 that it shouldn't swap, but it did swap always.

Now without swap and using early_oom everything is fine. When I see in /proc/vmstat that there has been a kill, it is time to reboot.

On my laptop though, my usecase is different. It only has 2GB ram, so I prefer swap over a hard kill. And I reboot it more than once a day if I am using it.

No it does not. If the packet is at your door it is too late already. Then either it does not matter in which case you do nothing, or it matters (DoS) and then you have other problems.

You are right that security works in the context of a threat model. There are however useless tools that give a false sense of "security" that do not fit in any reasonable model.

I have cases where I block whole ranges of IPs for "legal" reasons - it does not make sense but there you are, the ones who write the rules are not the ones who actually know the stuff.

I stopped by the Mokuhankan shop when I was in the area last year. David Bull was carving a block on the left as I came in, so I didn't see him at first (my eyes were drawn to the prints, which are arranged into bins like records on the right).

I was wearing an old trade shirt which had a Kurzgesagt sort of look to it. When I bought a print to the till it was in his eyeshot and caught his interest, so he came over for a chat! He's such a nice guy. He asked me what I do, and the next thing I know we're talking about tech stuff, and how he builds his site and shop. A true renaissance man.

Hello! This was a great read, thanks. I'm slightly amazed that we've never met as far as I know. I was at the U of MD at the same time as you (late 70s) and remember the 1108 and 1106 well. Friends in the Computer Vision Lab on the fourth floor introduced me to Unix in 1979 and I never looked back. I worked at Goddard from 1995-1998 in Building 26 for the NSSDC, then again from 1998 to 2022 in building 28 (SVS) and Building 11 (DCL). My father worked there from 1971 to 1987, in Building 11. It was a wonderful place to work.
This is a really great explanation, and matches my experience: the effects on temperature are very small, and the effects on CO2 are very large -- and the difference is enough that this approach is absolutely worth it.
Just a note: I responded directly to a comment that said it could be built with today's tech, let alone 10, 20, or 50 years.

My mother downloads YouTube videos as audio to put on her offline mp3 player so she can listen to music/podcasts/lectures etc. I'm sure some people are using it to download music too. There are many use cases.
It's awesome and I hate it.

This singular peace of technology makes me pessimistic towards the future. Until now, video record was considered to be a very good evidence. Let's say you argue with a person about what X person said. You show them a video and they will be like "ok, he did say that, but...". You could at least set some facts straight, and then discuss the interpretations.

But that will be now gone. You can now generate mass amount of real looking fakes and at the same time label anything you don't like as fake. There's really no independent evidence now, you can only put trust into the medium of your choosing (youtube channel, newspapers, tv station) that they report honestly.

This seems to have only minimal benefits for the society, but huge negatives. But there's no stopping here...

You can lie about union organizing because an employer is not allowed to use whether or not you are a union organizer when making hiring or firing decisions.

If you lie about something that the employer is allowed to use in making those decisions they can fire you.
Fair. Something that is common practice but not going to hold up in court are uhh quasi-legal.

A problem is that if you are moving within an industry that enforces non-competes they all generally respect each others for fear of invalidating their own. They also tend to know the terms of each others contracts as well so you can't exactly bluff your way through.

So your new prospective employer will not do anything that is seen as soliciting you to break the prior contract.

Also at the low end it works especially well because you won't take the risk of court / having to hire a lawyer.

This business professor, selling his books on leadership in a Ted x (!) talk lost me when he called Amundson "forgotten". Like hell, no, Amundson is not at all forgotten. And Shackleton is famous for saving everyone on his doomed Endurance expedition under extreme circumstances.

Only measuring leadership, as im the Ted x(!) talk, with achievement of a stated, and up to then impossible, goals and ignoring a leader who saves everyone from death is at best short sighted, at worst ignorant. Did I mention the guy in the talk is a business professor with a book on leadership?

Being a slumlord could be the most profitable in the current world, but stop being profitable when an LVT were in force.

In the current world, slumlords make profit because their costs are negligible, and it's mostly profit. They could build nicer houses, but they don't deem it worth the effort. They make money either way.

Once an LVT is introduced, if they don't invest, they lose money. All of a sudden, investing in the place becomes worth it.

> e-bike -- reliable, fast and fun, but zero exercise

I disagree on the last point, I can turn the motor up or down, or all the way off, based on how much of a workout I want to get.

Also the only reason I'm willing to bike around my hilly city (Seattle) is because I have an ebike.

To put it another way, across 3 or 4 blocks I have around a 100 meter incline on the way to a park.

Can experienced bicyclists who are in good shape pull that off? With a kid on the back of their bike? Sure. But an ebike lets me turn turn the motor on for that part, and turn it off when I'm not doing something as difficult.
I’ve seen a sentiment expressed widely that disabling swap enables their machines to fail fast when the workload runs out of memory. I would be partial to such behaviour as well, but in my experience, without swap, I’ve more often seen systems run into livelock with the OOM killer unbearably slow in reaping its victims meanwhile I cannot ssh in nor view logs, and that such situations basically disappear on systems where I do have swap enabled.

Of course, with or without swap, I can manually obtain the fail-fast behaviour by using systemd-oomd, oomd, early-oom, but I wonder why the reputation of swap differs so from my experience (for context, I’ve mostly run systems for small medium businesses and machines mostly under twenty gigabytes of RAM).
The US is just as bad at extraterritorial law, see FATCA for just one example.

Yes, i learned it the hard way when debugging production outages. Gitlab's Praefact recommended VM sizes were too small for our usecase and we had, per provisioning defaults, no swap on all machines. 150 MB of binaries in virtual memory, only 50 MB disk cache left, this is where it made click for me.

If you want a hard OOM kill, i don't know. I'm only talking about the I/O lockup that happens in these situations.

Your analysis considers only diffusion of CO2 whereas my experience is that convection is also important, and running a heater is in some configurations a great way to induce convection.

I sleep in very small room -- only 45 sq feet and 45 * 8 cubic feet. I don't have a CO2 meter, but I've been sleeping in the room for decades, so I have many data points, and I am pretty sure I can tell (by noticing that my thinking is duller and stupider than usual the next day) when CO2 levels were too high overnight.

No matter how high the CO2 level are in the room, 20 minutes of having the door wide open will bring CO2 to levels I cannot distinguish from outdoor air even if there is nothing (no wind, fan or heat source) to cause convection. Here we see diffusion in action. But at night, I prefer to have the door open just an crack (about an inch). Configured that way, CO2 levels clearly get too high if I rely on just diffusion: I need convection to keep CO2 levels healthy, and a heater running inside the room provides sufficient convection (as does a fan pointed at the crack of the door).

There is one exception: when the air outside the room is hot enough (and here I guess I should mention that the door to this very small room basically opens to the outdoors) then the heater might not provide enough convection (and even if I could be assured that it did, it would make me too warm on very warm night). I.e., my system of running a heater and having the door open only a crack should not be relied on to keep CO2 levels low in very warm weather unless you want to do research I have not done (e.g., with a CO2 meter).

I should mention that this very small room is unusually airtight: even the round holes in the metal boxes inside the walls that contain the electrical outlets and light switches have been sealed. I mention this because it has made it easier for me to compare the effects of convection to the effects of diffusion because when there is only one opening (a door in my case) in an otherwise almost completely airtight room, the presence of a wind (and there is some wind or breeze most times in most places on earth) does not induce significant convection across the doorway.

I used to rely on an alarm clock to wake me up every 105 minutes to air the room (which takes 6 minutes on very cold nights and 10 minutes on the warmest nights). (When sleeping this way, the door is completely closed during the 105-minute intervals of sleep.) I no longer sleep this way because I've become less tolerant of having my sleep interrupted every 105 minutes. I mention this to underline the fact that I have plenty (decades) of experience with diffusion and convection in the context of CO2 and sleep.

(The 6 to 10 minutes of having the door wide open does not reliably reduce CO2 to levels indistinguishable from outdoor air, but I consider it good enough, and I wish to reduce the duration of the discomfort of lying in bed with the door wide open.)
Believe me that's not the worst that can happen.

What makes CUDA easier to use isn't only C++ integration, rather since CUDA 3.0, NVidia has embraced a polyglot environment, with C, C++ and Fortran at the center stage, followed by anything that could target PTX.

Khronos took ages to understand this, until they finally came up with SPIR.

I was on an OpenCL conference (IOWCL), where the panel could not understand why people on the audience would care about Fortran or why C99 wasn't good enough.

Even now with Vulkan, NVidia with Slang, and Microsoft with HLSL, are doing Khronos work, because no one is sponsoring GLSL further development.

HLSL is following MSL footsteps and becoming more C++ like, even if not exactly the same.

Then again, up to AMD and Intel to improve SYCL story, which Intel is much further on.

This is a ruling from an Administrative Law Judge, which basically functions as a strong recommendation for how the National Labor Relations Board should decide a particular case. ALJs are Article II “in house” judges that specialize in the law of one particular administrative agency. They don’t have Constitutional life tenure protections and mostly do claims processing work for the Social Security Administration.

The next step in this case is for a 3-member panel of the NLRB (a 5 member board appointed by the President, currently with 4 members) to decide whether to accept the proposed ruling of the ALJ or to substitute their own opinion of how the case should come out.

Orders of the NLRB are not self-executing, so parties can appeal an adverse judgement to the Circuit of Appeals of their choice and the NLRB can cross-petition for enforcement of their decision. The Federal courts have final say over questions of law like “are non competes a violation of labor law”.

The entire process takes several years to play out.
I agree that if you want to persuade people and be successful in the business world, being the smartest person in the room isn't the most important quality. Being the loudest and most confident is. Just say your opinions as though they are obvious facts, and if someone disagrees, ignore them and say your thing again with even more confidence. I do not do this—heaven forbid, I'm too kind to do that—but it's the characteristic I see most successful people sharing... if success is defined as organizational prominence and compensation, rather than more trivial heuristics like a history of your claims coinciding with reality.

This isn't a direct comparison. But if we were to make this comparison more direct (e.g "more people were prepared in 1907 for application of practical knowledge than today), it's also in need of substance. How much is "a lot"? What is practical knowledge, and how can you be sure that the knowledge taught isn't practical?
