I was once able to make a very solid case that a crash was due to a bit flip turning a two-byte cpu instruction into a one-byte “inc r8” and a garbage second instruction

My dad also grew up in a rural area, and he tells the story of how all the teenage moped drivers wore helmets for a few years after one of them died

I think we would get used to it pretty quickly if it was adopted into English. No one thinks that we should write about Αθήνα or Владимир Путин or 東京都 in English, either.

Your local bank or credit union will trade your dollar today for more than a dollar tomorrow!

Base rates.

> Why do we need a universal version of foo? Cant we just use both foo 1.0 and 2.0? When being used by x, we use foo1.0 and when being used by y, use foo 2.0

You need language-level support for your packaging for this, so that the compiler or runtime can bind a call to foo.bar() to foo 1.0 when the call happens in x, and foo 2.0 when it happens in y.

I think the point is that historical societies are full of unbalanced social relationships, or "freeloader problems". Slaves and serfs worked for their masters. Parents provide for infant children, and adult children for elderly parents. Kings and lords receive tribute and service to the extent that they are due, and sometimes demand more. Priests take in offerings and perform rituals - often any barter here is directly with the god ("Poseidon, bring our ship safely to harbour and I will sacrifice an ox for you") rather than the priest.

I think OP was envisaging the attack being done by the person whose root CA private key it is.

Illegal under the GDPR: consent to storing or processing personal data that is not necessary for performing a service cannot be a prerequisite to performing a service.

I don't think it's missing the point, but you do want to be aware of the context a little bit. Randomized controlled trials are often held up as the gold standard of evidence, and they are good when it is possible to carry them out, but the point of the linked study is that the kinds of treatments it is possible and ethical to perform RCTs for limit their applicability. In this case, it would be unethical and criminal to get volunteers to jump off airplanes at 10,000ft with placebo parachutes, and the kind of RCT it is possible to carry out (this study) does not show parachutes to be effective. Thus no RCT showing that parachutes are effective is possible.

It's not, except it's a bit nicer to type

Perhaps I can interest you in this map of the Roman Empire from 565AD, sixty years before the Muslim conquests:

The complaint is that these delimiters are really only meaningful for Western Europe - the delimiting events both happen in Italy. One of the running themes of early medieval Arab history is, after all, wars with the (eastern) Roman empire. So it's a bit like talking about Elizabethan Turkey, or Warring States-era Brazil.

Wiktionary has a different etymology: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/curry_favor#English

Indeed, many of these are present in Sun Tzu, eg.

- soldiers need to be fed

- attacks on undefended locations are more likely to succeed

- if you can set your enemy on fire, do so, people really don’t like being on fire

I thought the way it worked was that the certificate signed with the certificate private key only contains the public key, and the ssh server, after checking the certificate is valid, validates that the client has the private key corresponding to the public key in the certificate.

Some examples from my life:

- Where are the log files for $service stored?

- What do the values of $one_letter_code in this message format/log line mean?

- What do I grep for to diagnose $problem?

More generally, when I find that I have memorised how to look something up (search slack for $foo to find the instructions, type $bar in the browser address bar to bring up the wiki page with the host name I need), I try to just memorise the fact directly, to reduce friction.

The users count to ever higher numbers by posting them sequentially.

Well obviously, this is a discussion of the limitations of posix.

(Of course, as we see time and again, the real portability solution is for users to standardise on a single platform)

If the topic and subject are the same, just は is used, but there are many sentences where the two differ, eg. 「映画館は人が多かった」- “there were many people in the cinema”, where “people” is the subject and “cinema” the topic. Or 「ここはパンが売れる」- “they sell bread here”, where the topic is “here” and “bread” is the subject.

Japanese cultural exports (anime and manga) are quite popular in France, tapping partly into an existing comic book culture.

It’s a really weird take you see on occasion. Like, over a third of households in England own their house (or flat) outright, and millions of people are on very generous final salary pensions (closed to new entries of course).

The article has some examples of breakage, and these are mostly using an allocator other than the system allocator which hard codes a 4k page size (Go, Chrome, jemalloc) at least for x86 and arm.

Why did they assume that? 4k pages are a feature of the memory management unit of the cpu. Optional support for large pages came to x86 with pentium in the mid-1990’s. Presumably all x86 cpus out there today have large page support, but the assumption of the 4k default is deeply ingrained.

The numbers I find are that some 11,000 out of 25,000 U.S. banks failed between 1929 and 1933 - the key words to search for are “bank failure” and “Great Depression”

You need to enter your password so that software you run can’t give itself root privileges without permission

The parent specifically refers to holding it as cash (“under the mattress”), though. And of course, if you do put it in the bank 1923, there’s no deposit insurance for the first ten years, any possible bank might just go under in the first ten years…

Disagree. The Spratly island shenanigans, in particular, are squarely aimed at Malaysia, Taiwan, the Philippines and Vietnam, which in your analogy are the smaller, younger victims of the bullies.

Another option, that I have had to fall back to before, is to include a

SHELL=‘/bin/bash -vx’

in your make invocation - the shell will then vomit all commands it runs to stdout.

> Infamously, a lethal war adds to economic activity as people are busy building and selling weapons of destruction, thereby adding to GDP.

Economic statistics for Russia and Ukraine would like a word.

You say that accessing restricted government resources is prohibited, but even this restriction has caveats. Famously, (New York Times Co v. United States) the federal government could not stop newspapers publishing stories based on classified documents they had obtained.
