I'm mildly ok with this. The cops seem to use these pretty willy nilly for how painful and dangerous they seem. There's a kind of karmic balance in executives suffering the same ordeal that they unleashed into the world. Appeal

I don't think it needs to be system pre-emptable. If we reserve 1 core for the OS then the user can always interact with the system. The OS can tell them "App X has pegged the 15 userland cores. Do you wish to kill it?". I

I'm not an OS dev either but I think core count makes a difference here. In that a while(true) loop brings down your single core system but doesn't for a multi-core system. Could see the tradeoffs being different today than back

And I think this highlights the real problem. The issue isn't that MS is pulling some nonsense. It's that I can't really vote with my feet and stop using Windows.

I think this is it. Love Ruby as a language. Have grown to hate the way Ruby developers write stuff. Stuff ends up with so much abstraction and indirection. End up yearning for a simpler time when you could write code that just did what

These guys (at least according to the angry letter) went beyond reasonable safe harbor for security researchers. They created admin accounts and accessed data. Definitely not clearly false that there's no liability here. Probably ac

I really don't like this article. It's not pity. Say there's some comic or some author legitimately struggling. A lot of people will see someone in that situation and want to help them. And it's not pity. It's b

I think it's a natural reaction. "No ducking way is only 1 person showing up going to make me quit" sort of thing. Not everyone reacts that way but certainly some do. Why share that reaction on social media? I don't r

Yes, but ultimately it's still a "statistically likely" answer and not the "right" one. Often the two overlap and maybe one day they'll make it an overlapping venn diagram. But that day is not today.

I don't think most people necessarily disagree with this: (1) The people who think that the market can be beat don't think most people can do it. They think most people can't but that they're special and can. Think most

Rigged seems a bit extreme. They had to make a few changes to keep things up to date. That they tripped over this small hurdle and went tumbling down the stairs doesnt change that it's a small hurdle.

A SO post usually has an answer that works and is a reasonably good idea. ChatGPT lacks the ability to see if its responses pass even a basic sanity test. Sometimes it's answers are good and sometimes they are totally wrong. Hard fo

This doesn't accurately reflect the reality of the situation. Atlanta Public Schools (my local district) spends $22k per student and average teacher pay is like $60k. Get 7 kids together and you can hire a teacher with 10s of thousan

If cell phones caused brain tumors in 1/1000 users we'd have millions of more brain tumors around the world than we did before. That's why it would be obvious.
