The bad config file is somewhere in the middle of the chain of causality.
They changed database permissions, revealing a dormant bug in a database query, leading to config files being generated badly with duplicate lines, making them too large for intake by the bot detection service, which didn’t have good input validation and made the process panic instead, ruining the service.
I think you’re right, the sign on the right contains Japanese hiragana symbols
Oh nice those 40 bit addresses, just what we needed to spice up our IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack world
With the short variable you probably also get shadowing. That’s super fun in a new code base.
Or another favourite of mine: The first time I had to edit a perl script at work someone had used a scalar and a hash with the same name. Took me a while to realize that scalars, arrays, and hashes have separate namespaces, and the two things with seemingly the same name were unrelated.
I thought Deep Rock Galactic was PvE anyway
That reminds me of something similar my ISP said. “Don’t be afraid of the bandwidth”, if you give your customers more bandwidth they aren’t actually going to fill it, they’ll still run roughly the same downloads just more quickly.
Here it’s at 12:10 in this video archive of their talk at RIPE: https://ripe84.ripe.net/archives/video/797/
And here when they gave the same talk at SwiNOG they also mentioned how their network ring in Wintherthur is still pretty much equally loaded after 10G and 25G home connections became available: https://youtu.be/wXmJCzMeIBo?t=1195
It may act on the whole market, but it doesn’t have the same impact on every OEM.
It’s a bigger issue for Valve than the console competition, who have established supply chains potentially with fixed prices for certain terms or at least more significant volume discounts, and proprietary compatibility hurdles binding their customers, so they can sell hardware at a loss if they want to.
If Valve sells the computers at a loss they run the risk of people buying them for other uses, without generating corresponding Steam profits.
Two that come to mind: Deutsche Bahn still transfers the seat reservation database to the trains using diskettes. And San Francisco Muni uses 5.25 Floppies for their light rail trains.
I originally thought the Steam Deck would be enough for that, but it appears not yet. Maybe the combined share can move the needle
I reckon it works a bit like Unix.
But seriously unless you’re a systems engineer with 15 years of experience you probably don’t know how any popular OS works (note, I’m not either, I don’t know shit). They are huge beasts with astonishing complexity.
I spent a semester writing a microkernel OS with three other students. We got the init sequence working, memory management working, a shell accessible over UART, FAT32 on an SD card, a little bit of network, and a minimal HTTP server for the demo. And this was considered a big accomplishment worthy of top grades.
And that’s only the scratching the surface of what makes an OS, just think of all the other things you need. Journaling filesystems, user and rights management, hundreds of drivers for devices and buses* full networking support, with dual stack, DNS, tunneling, wifi, then things like hibernation, sleep, power management in general, container and virtualization support, NUMA support, DMA support, graphical output, clocks and time sync, cryptography primitives and TPM support, etc etc
*I did USB only for mass storage once, that also took me a semester, and I bet PCIe is much harder.
Some additional historical context, at the time where Timothy was going to minister, many pagan priestesses held gatherings where they would shout and show skin and attracted participants with sex and a show
That is hard to believe and sound more like a post hoc rationalisation. Did you get this context from a good source, or was it a partial one, like a christian minister?
Makes sense, you keep the furniture too after all
Radiating the heat away is no problem is you don’t take up much in the first place.
But then you’re also not computing much. All the electrical energy you take up is also turned into heat and radiation.
The trick is to always expect unexpected delays at Intel’s Fabs, that way you can’t be disappointed by them any more
WTF, AMD, I bought a RX 6800 card new only 3.5 years ago, when it was your current offering. Now you’re gonna act like it’s old already. That’s some bullshit.
Yeah I don’t know why anyone entertains the idea.
Lifting things to LEO still costs around 2000 USD per kg, even with modern cheaper prices thanks to reusable rockets. For a datacenter presumably you’d have to go higher where you have less drag, because you can’t keep doing burns for repositioning. So that sounds like it would already make everything so much more cost prohibitive. And the vibrations of a start are probably also not trivial, if your components are all hardened instead of off the shelf that will cost you more too. I see no world where that’s more economical than buying some cheap land in flyover USA and have truckers drive things there.
Regarding maintenance there are some approaches where you build more redundancy ahead of time and then let broken things rest in place. At least that was the spiel an Azure evangelist gave us once when I was an intern at a webdev shop (in 2012). But still, once enough breaks down (I think it was a third of components) they would usually then exchange an entire container. So yeah still not great for space.
The energy I don’t know about really, but at least it doesn’t sound impossible that it could be decent for solar, as long as you can deal with more and more holes in your solar sails over time. At least you wont have to deal with diurnal cycles I guess. But the heating is really the killer issue imho. You’d have to radiate off heat in a massive scale. Heat management for the ISS is fairly complex already. I don’t see how they would efficiently do this on a 5 GW scale. And once again a component level issue: all your cooling from the rack out has to be set up for it. No more fans local to systems, everything is heatpipes that need to connect to the entire spacecraft somehow.
Oh wow that Newegg Canada in Green is crazy. And for a pretty large discount too.
I had not encountered this on any price graphs before, very interesting. Thank you.
I’ve seen that on a big (and I think expensive) Samsung TV at a friend’s parent’s house. Weirdly enough the TV came with an external HDMI source switcher box. Really weird design choice on Samsung’s part.
I thought “the one that got away” means “the crush you never got together with”?
