Gibralter has a tremendous flow of water through it from the Atlantic. but the obstacle is that the circulation of the North Atlantic brings mostly water from the North to feed that flow. The Suez Canal is a sea level canal, though, and feeds water from Indian Ocean via the Red Sea. The flow of water there is directly from Africa but not that far south, but there are mangroves in East Africa and in South Asia so that's not a deal breaker. Also, there is the matter of ship bilges being emptied, though I've no idea the current status of that type of transport of flora and fauna.

here's an article I found about dispersal of floating seeds. apparently there are some obstacles due to them sinking mumble mumble salinity:

https://insideclimatenews.org/news/19072022/mangrove-seeds-o...

Most mangrove propagules don’t travel far. They drop straight under their parent tree or get trapped in the tangled roots of the surrounding mangrove forest and take root a few feet or miles away. But long distance dispersal across oceans and seas is still important, said Van der Stocken. If mangroves need to expand their range because of unsuitable environmental conditions from climate change or weather events, as in Texas, being able to spread their genetic material long distances on ocean currents becomes important, he said.

Across the globe in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific mangrove populations, including those along the Gulf of Mexico, reduced water density was less apparent in the study models. However, the model found these regions might develop saltier water than the Western Pacific. Even if propagules travel the same distance, increased salinity might affect their survival, which will have implications for the dispersal dynamics of mangroves in those regions.
I think it will. MS has published a number that it was 8.5 million machines, which I don't believe, bur seeing the effort that's gone into the response even at my own relatively mid sized org, there are super simple questions like how the heck do we even get to these devices when hald the crew work remote.

The response is and always will be - how much will this cost. We now have the opposing figure, how much will this cost if we don't do it.
It’s constraints on memory management basically will never allow that to happen.

It lures people in with “use any allocator you want”! Which only appears as freedom of choice when reality it’s locking the user into the same paradigm of memory management that has given C a bad name to begin with.

I think he’d much rather have a permanent and painful boil on America’s ass, like what the US has in Taiwan. Mexico isn’t cooperating, so maybe Cuba will. There’s precedent for that kind of thing, as well as for US military getting its ass handed to it while trying to “subjugate” Cuba.
Makes a ton of sense, thanks! I've been using picoapps.xyz and it's pretty good in terms of being easy to use for natural language --> basic prototype, but definitely hear you that it's for reference and will need to be re-built from scratch to actually use it in production.
You seem to define right and wrong in terms of winners and loosers at the game of life. If you survive, you’re right? No matter what you do, the end justify the means? Is that what you’re saying?
It's not "fair" that a product can brick your appliances if they have previously protected against it.

In my mind, that is because the protection is what they're paid bags of cash to do.

If Crowdstrike was a charity I might find myself agreeable on your description of fair in favor of Crowdstrike.

The context of this thread is a very basic question that any good programmer should be able to bang out in 15 minutes. It's much closer to something you "should have some experience with" than "implementation details of a trie"
the problem is that for a security scanner to scan threats properly, they need to sit on the kernel, there should be a mode where they allow scanners to read but is not able to crash the system. Some sort of sand box for all these kernel access
Maybe try reading what happened during the Crowdstrike fiasco and then comment about it. Crowdstrike auto updates itself, the agent allows you to select update cadence, but this was an update to the "channel" files which auto update themselves a few times per day and you don't have any control over it.
As long as the salt is an actual salt (i.e. unique random value for each user entry), it's not a disaster, but it's going to significantly easier to crack a password that was hashed once than one that's gone through hundreds of thousands of hashing iterations or used a more advanced algorithm like argon2 which is more resistant to cracking by design.

The recommendation that I'm familiar with is to increase the cost as high as your servers can reasonably bear. High number of iterations and more advanced algorithms will increase the load on your servers but in turn they'll also provide much better protection.
Kruschev got what he wanted. Nukes were removed from Turkey at the time. They’re back now, but only “stored”, not “deployed”.
Having used ReportLab a bunch, I'd agree it's a good solution, but not maybe on the more mediocre side of good. Generating LaTeX was a better solution for me, and while I haven't used it, Typst looks a lot better.

People make this argument - but it’s consistent through history with moderates as well as non-moderate government. Withdrawing support is always seen as weakness an established state and leads radicals to overthrow governments. Germany 1931(bankers withdrew funds), Afghanistan, Cuba, Vietnam.

I'm the author and I can confirm. The website will not work with JS disabled simply because it's a static HTML "skeleton" page loading JSON tables with JS and populating a <table> element. If it's working then it means you must have JS enabled. I don't plan to add support for browsers without JS, but the JSON tables have all the information you need anyway, and those are just static files (e.g. https://syscalls.mebeim.net/db/x86/64/x64/latest/table.json).

This is indeed not as big of a deal as if it were Apple doing it, but it's important to remember that people like us who install apps from places other than the Play Store are a minority. As far as a lot of people are concerned, these apps just won't exist at all anymore.
For the most part, the only Americans that really care enough about Cuba to form a negative opinion are Cuban immigrants and their descendants. They happen to be a powerful voting block in Florida, a swing state, so they have an outsized effect on national politics.

If not for them, the embargo would have been dropped years ago and relations would have been normalized.

Secondary sanctions. If your company trades with Cuba, then companies that want to trade with the US also violate the sanctions by trading with you.

So even something as basic as opening a bank account in such circumstances isn't possible, as no bank will cut themselves off from the entire worldwide banking system just to provide you an account.
perhaps it's time to normalize relations with their government and end the blockade.
While I agree with you, the Cuban Missle Crisis was the 60s, so I assume nuclear war was very vivid. But having fresh memories of WW2, perhaps we felt confident “never again?” or were numbed to the idea.
One of the most important lessons of classical history is that no form of government is suited to all peoples at all times.

When a democracy degenerates into tribalism, it enters into a period of conflict until somebody manages to transcend the tribal conflicts. This individual has the potential to become a king if he so desires.

The king remains in control for his lifetime and his son will likely also hold real power but eventually you get a king who doesn't want to be bothered with the business of government when he can be doing other things like hunting in his personal forests. So the king relinquishes most of his power to the nobility and you get an aristocratic government.

This aristocratic government, at first, wants to rule for the good of the people. Eventually, after several generations, it serves its own interests instead creating a crisis. At this point, the king can re-assert real power and restore an absolutist monarchy. Or the wealthier portion of the common people can decide they want some power too and gradually get some of it from the nobles.

Once the wealthier portion of the common people have power, the general logic of democracy is to expand the suffrage. This is a one way ratchet because no politician can hope to win elections running on reducing suffrage. So you gradually end up with a mass democracy. Eventually, this mass democracy degenerates into tribalism and the cycle repeats itself.

This cycle, which was recognized by Polybius and called anacyclosis, played itself out in both Athens and Rome in antiquity. It is likely playing itself out yet again in our own time. Because human nature doesn't change and all governments degenerate.
People are expected to care for their own children, yes.
The federal government as a binding force was not really that effective until after the civil war. See the repeated failure to build the transcon railroad which the south blocked fearing the entrapment of the south by another transportation system.
I have (checks spreadsheet) 787 accounts where some rando on the Internet (eg. Mark Zukerberg, ...) holds my personal information.

"Gross Negligence" is guaranteed.

Any solution that doesn't involve me securing my information w/ my own private keys (secured by whatever level of security I deem adequate) will lead to all of my private information released into the wild, eventually.

Fortunately, most of it is so out-of-date as to be worthless.

However, consider the implications. Even if I'm catastrophically bad at securing my data (for example, I print my private keys and give it to a few friends to put in their filing cabinets or whatever) -- some attacker can gain access to only the data they specifically target! Probably, a handful of low-value accounts, obtained at great expense using one-by-one attacks on individuals.

There is literally no approach vector that harvests all of the data for every account holder on some random poorly-secured rando's website, say, like AT&T!

I've been at this for 40 years. It's getting worse, not better. The solution isn't "more security". The solution is: the data simply isn't there, but in 8 billion individually secured hands.

Are there issues with this? For sure. But -- they only affect you, not your 1,000,000 neighbours.
This is the sort of thing that I'm excited about because it solves problems I have, but can't really use for much because I'm not sure if it will exist in a year.
Do some of these news agencies own Crowdstrike stock? How can you blame Windows here? For simply allowing an application that can crash the OS?

No. It's too much fun.
I'm talking about the $6000 loudbox, not the quietbox.
By the way, an extra $9000 just for water cooling seems... high?
Not necessarily. CrowdStrike isn't even the #1 player in this space, but this still happened because of network effects. The number of platforms you'd need for this much safety is impractically high.
Cuba was in the "attempt to alter the status quo via forceful revisionism" club. They had literally thousands of soldiers and "advisors" in various hot spots, trying to export the revolution.

That was the 1970s, though. Cuba was allegedly involved in the coup in Venezuela in 1992; arguably, the chavismo government would not have happened without Cuban involvement. That government still rules Venezuela.

Are they still trying to stir up trouble? If not, how long ago did they stop? I don't know. But there definitely were reasons to impose sanctions on Cuba.
The best idea I've used is a small charge but paid by an honesty box. The most annoying are the turnstiles that require exact coins only. Mostly to pay for the attendant who can't give change or accept an overpayment. If you don't have two 20p pieces your money is no good.

No subnetting, assigning of IP addresses to clients or running DHCP services.

The availability of software on the server was limited (i remember backup services, licensing software). But for central file service and printing it was rock solid, even in a bit larger (for the time, around 1995) environments without any issues.

Huh, this story sounds familiar. I read a HN comment the other day telling this same story. They didn't just turn a random HN comment into a news article, did they?

"If we're going to roll this out let's limit it to reduce the numbers of people affected."
Ime this is something senior developers would themselves do - and not only for changes they deem "high risk", but also by default.

I say this because this case a data file was changed. Probably done thousands of times without an issue.

QA would have never said "we need a staged rollout for this". Developers and those who set the process should do it.
The problem commonly skated over is that two views cam be true at once. For example:

- the "Batista" regime was dictatorial and repressive. The people fought back with Castro. The first wave of people to land in Miami were essentially the moneyed class who lost everything. Unsurprisingly they hate the Castro regime and its descendents. The US government were happy to accommodate them under the guise of anti communism.

- the "Castro" regime is dictatorial and repressive. The people cant fight back so they leave. The people landing in Miami and their descendents hate the regime for taking everything. The US Republicans are happy to accommodate them under the guise of sticking it to the libs.

I dont see any of this changing until the regime changes in Cuba to a more democratic one simultaneously with the Republican party imploding in Florida. Which basically means not in my lifetime.

It seems baffling that Microsoft is getting heat for this. They didn't cause the issue, a third party vendor's software did. Even if you were trying to make an argument of "if we had more diversity it wouldn't be as bad", shouldn't you be focusing on the EDR vendors rather than the OS vendor?
Yes, Austria has only a population of 9 million, with 1937 (as per 2015) unsecured railroad crossings with just a sign and no barriers or lights. The number of people being killed in car accidents was close to record lows at 178 last year with 42 of those not using a seat belt. Saving 15~20 lives by upgrading infrastructure is of course a gamble of prioritizing crossings but of course worth it as there's not just those 15~20 people but also their relatives being impacted. We have a lot of rural railroad, something better quarter-mile away is rarely an option.

Linux is vulnerable too (but not as vulnerable as windows of course) it’s just not targeted by hackers because it’s market share is so small. That wouldn’t be the case if, say, half of all users ran Linux.
The homepage loads exactly the most common x86-64 ABI, which is x64 (according to kernel naming). It's the one for 64-bit syscalls made by 64-bit code. On x86-64 you also have IA32 (32-bit syscalls made by 32-bit code) and x32 (64-bit syscalls made by 64-bit code specifically built to only use 32-bit pointers).

> man pages present the libc implementation

No, the section 3 man pages for "syscalls" are the libc wrapper functions. But section 2 is the syscalls themselves, and includes man pages for syscalls that don't have wrapper functions.

I don't think those man pages include the numbers though, since those numbers are architecture dependent.
Not really.

The carbon-rich planets described in the Wikipedia article have formed by condensation from gases in which carbon was more abundant than oxygen, which happens in the gases from which some stellar systems have formed.

The Solar System has formed by condensation from gases where there was more oxygen than carbon, and this remains true for Mercury.

Mercury has a somewhat higher proportion of carbon than other planets, because much oxygen has been lost in space, as a component of water and of other easy to vaporize oxides, due to the high temperature of its surface. Even so, it contains much more oxygen in silicates, than carbon.

The core of Mercury is made of iron alloy, like all planet cores. This study supposes that the liquid core has been saturated in carbon. In this case, when the core has solidified, it must have expelled a part of the dissolved carbon at the surface of the core. Due to the high pressure, the expelled carbon must have formed diamond, instead of forming graphite, as it happens at the solidification of smelted pig iron (after a sufficient time, so that any metastable carbides will decompose).
Many in this industry have been saying this for a while now.

Again and again I've been arguing for access to information. Let Cuba land an underwater cable in Miami. Ever since I was young I was fed this line 'Glasnost helped accelerate the collapse of the Soviet Union, people wanted things their government wouldn't give them... free access to information not filtered by their government', but the US argues for some reason that Cubans can't have this.

Is it fear of an even bigger migration? Why? Is it expat Cubans looking to kick out the ladder?

Not really. Even though section 2 should be for "syscalls", it is really only for libc syscall wrappers. Very few pages in the section 2 document the raw syscalls, and those that do say it specifically at the beginning. OTOH, in section 3 you won't find any syscall at all (wrapper or not).
