According to that formula, in a 51% attack, probability of success = 1 (since 51% attack means you are more likely to find a hash than all others combined), right?

I don't see how more confirmations makes it exponenrially harder to mount a 51% attack: you just need to be mining faster privately than the remaining community until you (a) have a lead, and (b) have maintained that lead for the confi

Even aviation does test in prod. They just do it after a large amount of testing beforehand. The point of the article is not that you shouldn't test before exposing new changes to production, but you should also test, monitor, and val

It's hard to find people interested enough to write publicly about something but having no vested interest in an issue. To that end, I still prefer to read things from people who I would disagree with rather than those I agree with, as

Is there something that you actually believe is deceitful here? Is it the analysis of the impact of expanding the Fire District? Is it the data about the impact on building costs? Is it the claims about whether wood-framed buildings are saf

Interesting, I went back and read the settlement, and definitely did not realize at the time that all of the terms of the settlement have long since expired: https://www.justice.gov/atr/case-document/file/5035

I think that's tangential to my point. The concerns in my post you replied to about system interdependence making it hard for a monitoring system to separate cause and effect, even if that monitoring system is itself working properly.

Expecting an instant public post is a bit unrealistic. They had a post up just over 20 minutes after the incident start, which is not that crazy, given that they needed time to triage all of the alarms and understand which component was act

There have been many things which go into many directions. However, your social circle provides a biased sample of that to you. I don't actually know which political direction you're arguing is being victimized. But a biased sampl

I think you missed the point of my post. I am fine with accounting for the challenges that someone has due to their background and circumstances. I just don't think it should be done by changing how we measure things. I feel that we sh

My first week at any job is mostly trying to get my bearings, and spending most of my time reading / listening. It's hard to skip ahead a few weeks and get that day instead of the first day, though.

This works at small scale (read: a small startup or for your own machine). It begins to fall apart once you have dozens of services each deployed at some time in the past 5 years, and no clue whether any of them are safe to update, or even

I was thinking blocks of 10 because I can itoa(the number of tens) and then concat with the subset of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. that I care about. I guess with blocks of 15 you just need to do two itoas, and worry about two types of block vs 3.

That's definitely not going to be useful. By doing this 15 numbers at a time you completely avoid needing to do any division anyway. print FB, i+1. i+2, Fizz, i+3, Buzz. i+4, ... i+14. Then increment by 15. Also, even with a very slow

by yuliyp 5y ago
You don't even need to do division. There are only 3 patterns that repeat for every set of 10 numbers. You just need to track which one you're on.

Say your webapp talks to a database or a cache. It'd be really nice if you could use a single connection to that database instead of 64 connections. Or if you wanted to cache some things on the web server, it would be nice if you could
