I dare to suggest that in a very early incident, the owners of a yacht fired a gun on the whales and killed one. Then, the pod is attacking any similar yacht around the area.

Is that behavior unique to killer whales? Of course not. Crows also attack people - https://mothership.sg/2024/07/crow-attack-tampines-hdb-bleed...

In every case of crow attacks, someone had pruned earlier the city trees and in the process the crow chicks fell from the nests and died.

A group of crows is called a murder.

It's all fun and games until someone brings a shotgun aboard.


What?

Are you talking about active roll stabilizers? Not on a 40' sailboat there aren't. The keel does that job.

What's a "boating permit"?


those are tech companies, but aren't really considered big tech. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tech

I’m from the past and that’s not my recollection.


> some people will be along any second pointing out your approach limits your ability to use "grep" and "cat" on your log

And they won’t be wrong.


As an anecdote, we had a really long build time for our pipeline (going back prob 15 years).

I argued for a Linux laptop, and the boss said, "OK, prove it. Here's two equivalent laptops, time it.".

Turns out there was zero difference, or negligible (Windows won), between compilation times. That has always annoyed me.


Will anyone mention the repo hasn't been updated on 4 years?

Self-follow-up:

Google says India is 74% IPv6:

* https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-...

How would connectivity for 10^9 people work with only IPv4? See also China. Each of those countries is 2^30 people, plus add another 2^30 for the continent of Africa, and you're already at over 2^31. IPv4 is 2^32 addresses.


It is a problem when, for instance, Google chooses not to implement SRV (and later HTTPS) DNS record support in their web browser. The problems which SRV (and now HTTPS) DNS records solves is not a problem for Google, since they solved the problem by sheer scale and brute force, and Google only benefits from everybody else still having the problem; it’s a great moat for them.

Comparing Jimi Hendrix to Objective-C is like comparing Ken Thompson to a guitar. Musician, instrument. Painter, brushes.

Besides, as far as I know, Objective-C only ever gained traction within the very narrow realm of MacOS and iOS application development, and has since been mostly supplanted by Swift in both of those use cases. That's hardly comparable to the enduring, cross-cultural influence of Hendrix.


Apple's Image Capture seems to have a feature like that — where it autodetects the images — but I never use it.

> lacks any specific testable predictions for our universe.

Predicts that special relativity holds up at all scales (check, according to all evidence so far), predicts general relativity at low energy scales (check).

So it's false that it has no testable predictions.


I read it as "admits on behalf of the space industry community", not that he/she was personally lying before.

Yeah, I hear you on the color restoration. I just ran the scans through Apple's Photos app and was able to restore the photo colors to something very close to what they may have been originally.

If you are careful about using the retouch tool to remove scratches and dust (that may have been present the negatives even) and if you are careful with adjusting levels, I am pretty sure I can say I have created modern versions of the images that are even better than the originals were.

And BTW, if you want to really up your game on some of the better photos, have a 8 x 10 printed by a lab using aye-sub printer to print to metal (aluminum). Assuming you have a high quality image, you will be blown away at how much dynamic range you can get from a metal print. Stunning. (Shhh ... I'll be making Christmas gifts this year from some of the family heirloom images.)


SQLite doesn't look like a good fit for large logs - nothing can beat liner write at least on HDD and with plain text logs you will have it (though linear write of compressed data even better but rare software supports it out of the box). With SQLite I would expect more write requests for the same stream of logs (may be not much more). Reading analysis will be faster than using grep over plain text log only if you'll create indices which add write cost (and space overhead).

ClikcHouse works really well when you need to store and analyze large logs but compare to SQLite it would require to maintain a server(s). There is DuckDB which is embedded like SQLite and it could be a better than SQLite fit for logs but I have no experience with DuckDB.


The article revolves around the responses of Noah Smith but it is my opinion that Noah is not really a genuine actor. Noah to me just represents the system (as opposed to non-system [0]). His role is not to make radical conclusions but simply to provide a counter reactionary voice for the neo liberal order.

I wish something like that came to Discord. Their search is terrible and I could never find something if I didn't know the exact words, and the servers aren't indexed by external search engines either.

I'd double check whether a denial of service is out of scope, it often is.

Additionally, I'm not intimately familiar with Redshift, but being able to create a table suggests the attacker would already need a fairly high privilege level to begin with, no? If there are other ways to invoke denial of service conditions from that existing privilege level, this finding may be somewhat moot out of redundancy, similar to how a submission for "a root user with the ability to execute arbitrary commands can cause a denial of service condition in XYZ" would be moot - XYZ is not needed for an adversary with those perms to cause a DoS.


So a small corner store or 7-11 type operation is "commercial use" and somehow bad?

What kind of thing are you imagining in your head when you say "commercial use"? A massive 10 acre parking lot with a 2 acre steel and glass megastore?

The thing I'm thinking about is most likely smaller than an average house in American suburbia and with a smaller plot. It's not a place where a family of 7 will drive with their gigantic truck and buy groceries for two weeks. It's something you (or your kids) can walk/bike to if you need to grab a few bottles of soda and snacks for a movie night. Or you stop by on the way home from work to get tonights dinner. You also can't buy 48 brands of cereal, maybe 2 or 3 of the most popular ones.

I think you've never experienced a small corner/neighbourhood store and your view of "commercial" is skewed to American Size things where everything is next to a 6 lane stroad with parking lots larger than many European cities.


Where do you get that from? In my practice this was never true and still is not.

Most of the low level stuff wouldn’t work or would be useless anyway, as most container network interface implementation will make you work with veth pairs and will do many userspace monstrosities.

This is one of the things I don’t like much about kubernetes: the networking model assume you only have one nic (like 99.99999% of cloud instances from cloud providers) and that your application is dumb enough not to need knowledge of anything beneath.

The whole networking model could really get a 2020-era overhaul for simplification and improvement.


There where even mail-to-ftp gateways. I vaguely remember using bitftp (?) to get a copy of the Utah Raster Toolkit that way. Long time ago...

> Its not so easy. First, yeah I was operating networks, not maybe hyperscalers, but 200+ switches. Yes, ARP had a its problems, like ARP poisoning, but they are all sorted out already.

ARP poisoning is the least of ARP's problems.

It can potentially have a blast radius that can bring down networks, and if it was actually sorted out, then things like BGP EVPN would not need to have been invented. One of touted benefits of BGP EVPN is reduced ARP and Layer 2 broadcasts.

I've seen ARP storms bring down even 'small' company networks (dozen switches for ~200 people) because someone fed a simply desktop switch back in on itself and the access layer switch in the closest could not do STP with the simple switch.


… to either?

You obviously don't have a boating permit. Hint: there are retractable fins / swords.

Similar for the Choleski decomposition. Also artillery officer in WWI. Died in battle.

Don't we already have marxism though?

It been called many things from social safety net to welfare.

Why are many people on WIC fat? Do they need more food or less?

You can look at Social Security and its money woes as an example.

That system is going insolvent with people contributing.


If SQLite is faster than a normal file system, how fast is SQLite running on “SQLite as a filesystem”?

I disagree that their motive is business only, unlike the majority if not all cloud services, exporting your photos from the service is real-time, and officially supported, you're not tied or locked in to the company, unlike GPhotos/iCloud where takeouts strip metadata, full export and slow taking weeks which is painful. Only FANG seem to offer takeout services, but they're bandwidth and storage waste.

iCloud on a Mac with optimize photos off is the closest without encryption, but trash is 3-way sync with day limit and hence not a backup...

Jottacloud/Koofr/OneDrive have full featured desktop sync and infinite time trash locally but the mobile gallery is unpolished, no on-device AI search, and no encryption.

While other clouds allow 3rd-party clients, some hide and prevent the phone gallery from being synced offline on the desktop apps or they lack a full featured gallery on the mobile app. Using Rclone or others isn't average joe friendly.
