There is a huge difference between game theoretic optimal strategy and actual profitable strategy due to the human nature of the players. I imagine a professional poker player as someone who certainly knows the odds (math of the poker game in general), but is also very good in interpreting his opponents behavior (which would minimize the information revealed by them, but could they do it completely?). There are so many biases which even professional players have to overcome, that in my opinion poker is strongly psychological game. Also because of that I think that online poker and live poker are slightly different games.
Are they? Apple has pretty much banned kernel drivers (kexts) in macOS on Apple Silicon. When they were still used, they were a common cause of crashes and instability, not to mention potential gaping security holes.

Most things that third-party kernel drivers used to do (device drivers, file systems, etc) are now done just as well, and much more safely, in userspace. I'm surprised if Microsoft isn't heading in this direction too?

Presumably, Crowdstrike runs on macOS without a kernel extension?
It should become a standard for papers to publish their code. After all it's a publication.
Some card payment systems in the US seem to be affected as well.

Looks like this is a big deal.
It's more coincidental than likely, since these are managed services that were down, while the crowdstrike issue is closer to company deployments.

But never say impossible, it's best to wait and see what the actual problem is rather than throwing shade so early.
I just landed at SeaTac an hour ago and the rideshare/app pickup was absolutely nutso. Like thousands of people standing around waiting for taxis and Ubers.

Does Microsoft use canary deployments? or was it deployed on everything?
I disagree.

The opaque, non transparent news amd media is more damaging than any conspiracy theories.

Conspiracy theories are after all a consequence of opaque and non transparent news and media.

I get this all the time because I chose not to get jabbed.

You must be a conspiracy theorist, and anti-vaxxer etc

absolutely not! I am none of these things.

I am OK with people making a choice to get jabbed why does have to be negative if I choose something else?

I am just a person who made an informed decisison and followed my belief in autonomy (self regulation).

It really is that simple.

The constant negative attitudes towards conspiracy theorists drives those interested in conspiracy theories even deeper into the world of conspiracy theories.

Its like telling a teenager not to smoke, take drugs or have sex. It just wont work.

Its the human way.

For me, a retired psychotherapist, I think that conspiracy theories have risen over recent years because people do not listen to what they have to say or engage in valid discussions between both camps. What ever we all believe it is all valid and should be accepted as valid.
I think, as it is a live BBC page, the title is changing over time? It is now "Planes grounded as mass worldwide IT outage spreads, with airlines, media and banks hit"

US Based and got a NANOG alert email just in time. At least half our windows servers down.

I went into our crowdstrike policies and disabled auto update of the sensor. Hopefully this means it doesnt hit everything. Double check your policies!!!

Edit:

Crowdstrike has an article out on the manual fix:

that's okay because that N=1000000 line wasn't part of the spec but at least allowed me to run it as is without loading the rest of the stuff i test.

Why do companies use system that rely on other system (like analytics). The platform should just run by it self and gracefully degrade if other external system doesn't work. Like a banner on top "Crowdstrike" out service on top or console log.
GLOBAL OUTAGES

- Major banks, media and airlines affected by major IT outage

- Significant disruption to some Microsoft services

- 911 services disrupted in several US states

- Services at London Stock Exchange disrupted

- Sky News is off air

- Flights in Berlin grounded

- Reports the issue relates to problem at global cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike
We are a major CS client, with 50k windows-based endpoints or so. All down.

There exists a workaround but CS does not make it clear whether this means running without protection or not. (The workaround does get the windows boxes unstuck from the boot loop, but they do appear offline in the CS host management console - which of course may have many reasons).

Administrators are to blame because management (and a lot of 'cybersecurity policies') demand there's a virus scanner on the machines?

While virus scanners might pick up some threats not addressed by OS updates yet every one of them I've seen is a rootkit in disguise wanting full system privileges. There are numerous incidents with security holes and crashes caused by these security products. They also aren't that clever: repeatedly scanning the same files 'on access' over and over again wasting CPU and IO is not going to give you any extra security.
I’m pretty sure that fun never really disappeared but rather than developers team are now full of non "computer people", like, people who never cared about computers from the start.

I don’t say it like an insult, it’s just that for most people developing things is and have always been a career like any other. We shouldn’t blame people to not be passionate about their jobs. Everyone have to eat and if you are able to perform in this job without passion, you would be stupid not to.

But I agree that for passionate people, it’s pretty depressing.

And even for people who love this, writing SaaS apps 9 to 5 for years can easily shatter the joy of knowing cool things.

> but the idea of gathering a data structure and the operations on that data structure in a single place, with data hiding, is a good one, particularly for domain modeling.

One can do this in a module without OOP.

The idea of mixing data and behaviour/state (OOP) instead of keeping data structure and functions transforming those (functional) is IMO the biggest mistake of OOP, together with using inheritance.

I believe making part of the program data instead of code (and thus, empty of bugs) is such a big advantage. Already lisp was talking about it. Mixing data with behaviour, without a clear delimitation creates a tight-coupled implementation full of implicit assumptions. Outside the class things are clean, but inside they ossify, and grow in complexity. Pure functions with data in data out are such a big improvement in clarity when possible.

CrowdStrike code update bricking PCs around the world

Just boarded a flight in Iceland, no mention of being grounded.
If it's true that a bad patch was the reason for this I assume someone, or multiple people, will have a really bad day today. Makes me wonder what kind of testing they have in place for patches like this, normally I wouldn't expect something to go out immediately to all clients but rather a gradual rollout. But who knows, Microsoft keeps their master keys on a USB stick while selling cloud HSM so maybe Crowdstrike just yolos their critical software updates as well while selling security software to the world.

Good news for crowdstrike! It shows how critical their services are. Stock to go up! (And down a bit when they get sued, and up a bit when they don't get sued too much, etc.)
We must live in different parts of the UK then because where I am in the north the bread choice has never been better - what you said was more true a couple of decades ago but my local small co-op has a huge range of bread fresh baked on premises including stuff like ancient grain sourdough.

All the lidl's within 20 miles have in store bakeries and do the same and you can order that stuff from all the major supermarkets.
The impact of this will be profound!

Obviously bugs are inevitable, but why this wasn't progressively rolled out is beyond me.

I have a HAM license, I got encouraged by friends from our local Hackerspace to get it. Since getting it, I used my right to TX maybe twice. Those friends, they're not boring. I still have no first clue what they're finding interesting about all this.

My brain simply cannot wrap itself around it. I'd dare say, the boring farts are boring farts because being a boring fart is literally all you're allowed to. Can't have a longer conversation about anything interesting, because the frequencies are for general use, not expert discussion on $thing. Half of interesting topics are legally or culturally prohibited. Can't do anything actually fun with the radio, either, as that too is illegal.

What is there to do on air? CW sounds cool, but I don't have a peer group it would impress, so: boring. Other than that, fox hunting and chewing rags. I can't see anything else to do there. General chit-chat and whining about equipment and the weather seems to be the common ground, but that is exactly how you become a boring old fart.

EDIT: sure, I'm allowed to build and operate my own transceiver. But why would I, if hardly anything interesting to do with it is covered by the license? SDRs are way more fun anyway.
I really don’t know what the detractors of Copilot are writing, the next StuxNet? Whether I’m doing stupid EDA or writing some fairly original frameworks Copilot has always been useful to me writing both boilerplate code as well as completing more esoteric logic. There’s definitely a slight modification I have made in how I type (making variable names obvious, stopping at the right moment knowing copilot will complete the next etc) but if anything it has made me a cleaner programmer who writes 50% less characters at the minimum.
All US flights are grounded too. The people I was traveling with cant check into hotels
My understanding is that multiple recent versions are affected.
I think the article said it wouldn't be used for anything. There are no intentions to use it for anything further besides releasing it to the research community, which has been completed.

James Gosling, who I'd consider the father of one of the most popular OO languages gave this advice:

"You should avoid implementation inheritance whenever possible"

My early days of Java where largely building unmaintainable inheritance trees into my code and then regretting it. This quote gave me comfort that it wasn't really that good an idea.

Decent discussion on inheritance Vs composition also found here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_over_inheritance
I got confused and thought that you were the CIO of Crowdstrike until I read further into your comment.
I knew there was a reason i liked hanging out in the staging server room that happened to be on my floor, installing and reinstalling XCP or whatever other things i wanted to test out.

Disrespect to every CIO to make their business depend on a single operating system, running automatic updates of system software without any canaries and phased deployments.
maybe they installed crowdstrike because they wanted updated without testing. and crowdstrike failed at testing them in their environment.

sounds like they didnt test all cases and stumbled on a windows bug
One thing I'm really happy about at my current company is that when a sales person from a vendor (not Crowdstrike) tried that our CEO absolutely ripped them a new one and basically banned that company from being a vendor for a decade.

I would not use any influencer product either. But as an observer of the world around me I am intrigued. When I first heard the word influencer I thought that this is something that will never fly. But over the years I see how they have been "adding to the economy". Some of the things in the article made my jaw drop. Like, Bend OR spends over 100K on influencers and gets millions back as a result. And that is Bend, OR which is not a well-known destination!

You change job every few years, spend majority of walking hours in job and your financials directly depends on job. Why would you not spend time on prep.

I have no sympathy for people posting "jobless for months and reject coding test interview" in one sentence.
My experience working with Crowdstrike was that they were super arrogant about these risks. I was working on a ~50k enterprise rollout, and our CS guy was very belligerent about how long we were taking to do it, how much testing we wanted to do, the way that we were staggering roll outs and managing rollback plans. He didn’t think any of this was necessary, that we should roll it out in one fell swoop, have everything to auto-update all the time, and constantly yapped about how many bigger enterprises than ours completed their rollouts in just a couple of weeks.

He actually threatened to fire us as a client because he claimed he didn’t want the CS brand associated with an org that wasn’t “fully protected” by CS. By far the worst vendor contact I’ve ever had. I’ve had nicer meetings with Oracle lawyers than I was having with this guy. I hope this sort of thing humbles them a little.
I would assume that its enterprise customers have an uptime SLA as part of their contract, and that breaching it isn't very cheap for Crowdstrike.

Yes, it's still the case that only chats can be popped out and not channels.

I guess channels and chats differ by exclusivity and recency. Chats auto-sort by latest and are invite-only; a Team can be a "public square" for petitions or callouts.

There are use-cases for private Teams if additional features beyond chat are needed.

Channels require scrolling, so it's usually easier to ping someone instead. Channels as webhook sinks incentivize regular checking, but only if the user is actively seeking.
