Why even test the updates on a small amount of live customers first? Wouldn't this issue already have surfaced if they tested the update on a handful of their own machines?

Can anyone explain how CrowdStrike could possibly fix this now? If affected machines are stuck in an endless BSOD cycle, is it even possible to remotely roll out a fix? My understanding is that the machines will never come to the point wher

My god, just 2 or 3 seconds later and the person filming this would've been swept away for good.

Thank you, never heard of this. It sounds terrifying. > Sneaker waves appear suddenly on a coastline and without warning; generally, it is not obvious that they are larger than other waves until they break and suddenly surge up a beach.

Do you mean in the computed 202T digits of Pi, on in in the infinite sequence of Pi digits? In case of the latter: s̶u̶r̶e̶, probably, if Pi is normal, any finite sequence of digits is contained somewhere in Pi, so it would contain (in en

The reflector posts are always exactly 50 meters apart, which makes this relatively easy.

It is not safe. If your train crashes into a truck, or derails, or explodes, all trains behind will crash into it if they are nearer than their own breaking distance. This is not possible in a classic block system: the block is freed only

I know someone who was in a PhD program for 10 years in Europe, without graduating. After year 6, it got very difficult for the university to legally employ him, and after year 9, it was simply impossible and he lived on his savings, but

You really shouldn't start a PhD without doing the PhD simulator first [0]. Sadly, people who haven't yet been through the PhD experience think that this game is exaggerating for comic effect. It really isn't. [0] https:&#x2

The cynic answer would be: a highly standardized and comparable filter and testing environment. A more realistic answer: you are guided through and exposed to topics, motivated by exams, and in the end you will have proof that you understan

I work in academia, and the pessimistic/cynic standpoint is that university is not about teaching, but about filtering. Making a lecture "fun", comprehensible, or even "innovative" may not have the desired effect of

T-Online has a simple whitelist approach, and it is usually enough to just drop them an email. I did that back in 2014, asking for my private mail server to be added to that whitelist, and I received a positive answer within a few hours.

Ha, funny - we visited London for a week last autumn and stayed in Kilburn near the old Paddington cemetery, and every time we took the bus into the city I found it strange how straight that road was.
