This is the statement of the panel of legal advisors to the prosecutor: https://www.icc-cpi.int/sites/default/files/2024-05/240520-p... One of them, incidentally, is Judge Theodor Meron CMG, a holocaust

They aren't: they are asserting jurisdiction over individuals: - who are alleged to have committed crimes on the territory of the signatory nation, or - who are nationals of the signatory nation

Yes - unconditional by default, to be clear. I think if you set storage to 'none' it will switch it off completely
935.

journald also logs to /run/log/journal/ (a tmpfs) so until reboot you can still extract logs from it even if it didn't manage to write them to disk. See the 'storage' option in `man journald.conf`

It's a very interesting paper. However, it's in rats, so among other things the timescale is very compressed compared to humans: we are taking about three NAC reversing changes 1-2 months later

It doesn't need to be denser than the water because the incoming air is always above the water. Imagine an cavern shaped like the great pyramid of Giza, full of water. They dig two pipes, an air entry pipe to the point at the top, and

Why three? Their diagram shows two (plus the cavern, which must already exist)
939.
by ajb 2y ago
I think your answer is the correct one, rather than the replies. By keeping all the machinery at the top, initial build and maintenance costs are cheaper, they can use a cavern of any shape and at any depth, and they only need to use drilli

Yes, the diagram shows that the same water is used

Xtensa is an unusual beast because its USP (at least, back when it was owned by tensilica) was that you could easily add extensions. Not just off the shelf ones - ones you defined yourself. They had some automation that would generate a too

Looks like someone edited the title of this thread. I assume "Cannot Recursively Improve" was in the old one?

Fair. On reflection I agree with all the people that have pointed out that multiuser isn't that important. It was just, historically, the feature that made operating systems become serious about security, which is now essential for oth

Yeah, factor of 10 expansion was my experience as well.

The reverse would be good though

Well, "many cases" isn't "always". A bigger team will get there faster if the development is larger than a certain size, if it's smaller then an individual can win.

I'm not sure if the directX port ever saw the light of day. At that point the top brass were putting their hopes in the 'Network Computer' [1] and Set Top Boxes, so it may have shipped with one of those, or been intended to.

Wow I'm amazed if people are creating fake beaches and waiting that long to use them. Or do they know in advance when the update is going to happen?

Acorn was a curious company. It managed to get incredible amounts of work done, by assigning big projects to individuals instead of teams. My memory is not to be relied on at this lapse of time, but I seem to recall that in the final years

It was ahead of its time in UX, but rather behind in the foundations. It's a single user system with no real security, and there was no system of shared libraries - to share code between applications, it was usual to put the shared cod

Hmm, how often do you think they do it? If it's already months, and people are still posting fake OSM data, that's evidence against my hypothesis above

Because Devs are lazy. Same reason time servers get hammered instead of companies setting up their own. From other comments, it sounds like Niantic do snapshot though.
954.
by ajb 2y ago
Yes, they should. Even if they delay use of updates by some months, that should be enough to make it not worth adding fake stuff. I wonder if this is possible at the server side. If niantic clients are identifiable, maybe OSM can serve them

Do content creators currently make any income from your platform? If so, what are the statistics of this (best, typical, etc)

Both things - that the number of patents measures innovation, and that they serve to stifle it, can be true at the same time. Under a fixed patent regime, the more innovation there is, the more individual patents are necessary to stifle it.

The draft multipath extension is here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-quic-multipath/ It's on the standards track, rather than experimental, so likely to be supported once finished. There seem to

I suspect that a lot of innovation energy moved to QUIC, because with TCP your nice new variant can be randomly nobbled by middleboxes. For example, see https://blog.apnic.net/2021/12/08/efficient-multipath-tr

A useful rule of thumb for evaluating a field you're not familiar with is 'Sturgeon's law'. Sturgeon's law is a refutation of claims of the form "don't bother looking at that because 90% of it is crap&quot

Can you define equivalence classes (mutations that shouldn't change the result) eg timing, order of events, idempotence, etc? So that you can use (3) to define the correct result for all members of the class (Sorry if this is explained
