for what it's worth, it also comes in super handy when trying to troubleshoot existing systems. Running a complicated system that has weird latency spikes sometimes at a 60s interval and the config file has like:

  - timeout: 1m
  - expireInterval: 1m
  - updateInterval: 5m
  - etc

The first thing I do is go in and change them all to

  - timeout: 59s
  - expireInterval: 61s
  - updateInterval: 307s
  - etc

and then see what the new "problem interval" is. It's either gone, because the spike was from contention from all 3 jobs running every 5 minutes, or the new problem occurs now at 61s intervals.

Why?

I think you underestimate how badly people mess this up now, with piles and piles of cron jobs and timers all configured to run at 1/5/15/60 minute intervals.

If other things did this there would not be "more collisions", since the status quo is multiples of 5 minute intervals everywhere.

If you are ever building a platform and have control over everything, one thing that can make problems like this easier to find is to not use regular intervals like 5/15/30/60 minutes everywhere.

At some point you'll have a weird problem, or a load spike that shows up at regular intervals. If all of your intervals are 5/15/30 minutes, you will have 2 things running every 15 minutes and 3 things running every 30 minutes, you won't necessarily know which one causes the issue.

If you use (co)prime numbers, say, 5/7/11/13/17/19 as intervals: One, you won't have a thundering herd of tasks all running at the exact same time every few minutes, and two, when someone notices a weird issue that happens every 17 minutes, you will know exactly what the cause is.

Not unexpected, I saw a comment a ways back when they started with the BSL stuff that it had nothing to do with terraform, but was a response to IBM selling Vault.

Do they?

I don't see anything like what you are describing. What line exactly are you talking about?

Also because the 'safe' version only checks

  dict->pos == dict->limit

and not

  dict->pos >= dict->limit

if you can get one call of dict_put somewhere to pass the limit, all later calls of dict_put_safe will happily overwrite memory and not actually be safe.

Does this mean it's possible to send every ssh server on the internet a malformed payload to get it to disable the backdoor if it was vulnerable?

gokrazy can also be used to build little VM images: https://gokrazy.org/userguide/qemu/

Did you check the real sudo binary, or the setuid wrapper?

On my system sudo is `/run/wrappers/bin/sudo` but that is a setuid wrapper for `/nix/store/z008bzqrl2zc848gjhh04012jhxpl72q-sudo-1.9.15p5/bin/sudo` which is dynamically linked.

I can run linux on a raspberry pi. I can run kubernetes on a raspberry pi (if I wanted to). Can I run DBOS on a raspberry pi?

A comment on their youtube video says:

> if you were to spec them the same, the Minisforum costs a whopping $829 vs $1499 for the Onyx Pro

I agree that dealing with a local US company is nice on paper, but not sure what value you'd be getting for almost twice as much. If you were planning on doing something like buying 4 of them for a cluster, you could get 7 for the same price..

It doesn't just look similar, it looks like it IS the ms-01, with a new name and inflated price.

Wow really? Please tell me more about this amazing new technology.

10 years for a good PC. The problem is people and business buy shitty minimum spec computers that are borderline obsolete the day they arrive. My wife got a "new" laptop a few years ago. It had 8G of ram and a HDD.

I fucking hate JIRA, the interface is clunky and slow and makes me angry.

Infrastructure does not have an algorithm or "recommendations" that decide what you see.

It's the same reason people don't criticize the power company for allowing people to use their products.

Do you mean 15 years ago with windows 7, or 30 years ago with windows 3?

Often "Just" is... justified. At least, as a question to understand why someone is doing something the hard way.

As the post ends with:

> We should try to understand what makes it hard. And make it easier.

Yes, and I often do that by asking a question like "Why don't you just use [X]" i.e. Someone is saying something like

"Transferring files between these two servers is too hard. It keeps timing out and then I have to look to see which files have already been transferred and manually skip those. Sometimes a file is present but incomplete and finding those is even more work"

Why don't you just use rsync?

Have to click the little controller icon on the right side and set player 1 to keyboard, then the controls are WASD + KL

I always find it funny when an early reporter decides to include irrelevant information in their post, which then causes every single reply to do the same thing. i.e.

I get a segfault when I run the tool. OS: Debian. RAM: 8G. RGB lights: 4. Breakfast: French toast.

...

I have the same problem. Breakfast: bacon and eggs.

This game is part of the Simon Tatham's Puzzle collection as "Guess" (https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/gues...)

I've seen a lot of algorithms for how to play this, Donal Knuth has one that can win in 5 moves, but none that are really usable by humans. The method I use, which seems to always win is:

Guess 1111

Depending how many 1's were right, Guess 1222, 1122, 1112, 2222

Continue in this manor until the solution is found.

I just played this game ID: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/gues...

where it worked perfectly:

RRRR -> (1, 0) One red, somewhere.

RYYY -> (0, 1) No yellows, red is not first

GRGG -> (0, 2) One green in the 2nd position, red is 3 or 4.

BGRB -> (1, 1) No blues, red must be last.

OGOR -> (4, 0) Success.

Have been meaning to simulate this and see if there are any games where this method would not work. Sometimes it takes all the moves but I've never lost.

> The hardware is much more purpose equipped to store files long term

What hardware would that be, specifically? The low end embedded platforms that don't even support ECC?

3 or 4, at this point, using the same 2 disk zfs mirror upgraded from 1TB to 3TB to 10TB.

TIL about RAUC (https://rauc.io/) I had been wondering how valve implemented the A/B update scheme.

My reply was to this suggestion:

> Why not attach them to the bottom and have the setting machine underneath?

Where do the pins go between the first roll and the second roll??

Some of the fault for that issue is with the application developers and not the mapping firm.

At least one of the popular data sources does NOT return a long,lat coordinate, it returns a long,lat coordinate plus an "accuracy radius". For unknown US locations this was the "center" of the US plus a 1000km radius.. but most people never used the radius value and only blindly returned the center coordinate as truth.

You can see this in action if you go to https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-precision-demo and search for 17.1.2.3. it comes back with (37.751, -97.822) with a radius of 1000km.

(37.751, -97.822) being the new "adjusted" center that's now in the middle of a reservoir.
