But they asked if the claims were audited by a unbiased third party. Are there such audits? Alternatively, AWS does publicly provide legally binding availability guarantees, but I have never seen any prominently displayed legally binding du

In a pinch, that is probably sufficient. But presumably the bomb has some mount and you would want to validate that and the bomb door/release mechanism. You probably also have some sort of targeting system, guidance control, arming sys

No, they should not continue to be in a position where they can continue committing grossly negligent actions and harm others. You can train them once they are removed and reinstate them when they can do the job right, but supporting their

You only have to disclose what you have definitively discovered, not what you have definitively ruled out. Think how your customers would react if they were hacked and harmed. It is paramount that you err on the side of caution otherwise yo

If 90% of them qualify as grossly negligent, then they should be fired. That is kind of what grossly negligent means. You do not really worry about what would happen if all the grossly negligent doctors get fired. Who will do those procedur

No, reversible abstractions are just one kind of abstraction. For instance, a machine code sequence to a linear sequence of assembly instructions is a reversible abstraction. Not every machine code sequence is expressible as a linear sequen

Every abstraction leaks. A good abstraction for your domain is stable in your domain and only leaks outside of your domain. A great abstraction is separable allowing you to only drop down the abstraction level where needed and allowing the

No, what you call “omniscient debugging” is what Time Machine does and has always done. Instant temporal random access, call stacks over time with click to seek, variable graphing over time, etc. Given that is almost certainly where “time-t

Hm, thought they did more than standard replay. Do you know anybody outside of embedded that can do true multithreaded time travel debugging? I do not keep too much up to date on Linux native solutions. Most of the new ones I see are either

You are going to need to support that blanket assertion with some references. The capital city of the Incan empire, Cusco, is estimated to have had a population of ~40,000 [1] ruling over an estimated 10,000,000 people. The capital city of

The Incans were quite wealthy and advanced. As said by the official secretary of Pizarro [1]: “The city of Cuzco, being the primary place where the lords made their residence, is so great and so beautiful and with so many buildings that it

If you are okay with single-threaded Linux native as a debug platform (i.e. you have a build that you reproduce bugs on) then you can probably use rr. undo.io has also been in the field for a long time. I hear they can also do multithreaded

Wait, which is the hard one you wish you had time travel debugging on, the single threaded WASM context or the multithreaded native context? The multithreaded native context is the one that is harder in principle, but should only incur ~100

No, time travel debugging is almost certainly a root, but comes from a different lineage. https://jakob.engbloms.se/archives/1564 The Green Hills Software Time Machine product for time travel debugging was commercially

Is a generic time travel debugging solution too much overhead? A good multithreaded time travel debugger (not deterministic replay based) should only incur ~100% overhead in the memory bandwidth bound case. If you are not saturating your me

The biggest problem with git is that it is entirely a distributed version control system. In git you are always the client and the server. Your clone, normally, contains the entire history of development and all branches. In a fully distr

If the audit was only run once as a exploratory measure, then you are correct, but that is not the case. If you run a audit intended to detect defects at the 1 M$ level 10 times and literally every single time you find truckloads of defects

Because you can just lie and claim you make secure systems like Microsoft, Apple, and Google have been doing. Much easier and you get to have a billion features in your "secure" product so it supports more uses than actual secure

And who does actual security? Certainly not Google, Apple, Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Crowdstrike, etc. If that is who you were going to bring up, none of those companies has ever developed and deployed a usable system secure against ev
