I used to work on datacenter NVMe products. I wrote the tests which validated them (mostly functional not performance). I left that company before things got hot with fabrics, but I really want to see that stuff succeed. It looked really cool.
Is no one going to talk about their capabilities system? That shit looks cool. A compile time permissions system for which resources can be used. I wonder how fool proof that can be made. Are there escape hatches in the form of arbitrary assembly/linking? Could a leftpad module security issue be deterred with this?
Yes, any leftpad-like security issue could be mitigated by the fact that you’d need to inject strange capabilities like network access to the leftpad function.
It is assumed this would raise eyebrows from the user of this function. Furthermore if you were to take a “safe” function and replace it with a dodgy one in a later version, the function signature would change and users would need to update their code. So nothing quite so brazen would get past.
Of course if you are mixing in arbitrary assembly/machine code in your binary via linking that might make a syscall and that could potentially be unsafe.
I usually do. I have a 2 liter water bottle that I fill up at least twice a day. Though ironically with the heat this summer, I've been exercising and drinking less.
Wasn't there active attempts to hide the extent of the issue with Chernobyl which significantly worsened the damage? If so, that seems like saying there were cascading human errors in a murder-suicide. You're technically right on some level, but I wouldn't so much call that human error.
I, for one, quite enjoyed the novelization of it. Especially the part about the space-irony continuum. My sleeping wife did not appreciate being woken up by laughter though.
I'm fascinated by the woman who seems to be pacing back and forth rather than do anything productive to help people or get to safety. I wonder if I would have the clarity of mind in that moment or if I would melt down also. It's moments like this that make me wish I had followed some of my early career options and became an EMT or similar. Then, I would know how I would actually react rather than just being an armchair commentator.
You can always take a class from an org like Stop the Bleed or NOLS that trains regular people. We can’t predict how we’ll react in emergencies we haven’t drilled, but I bet even a little bit of training goes a long way.
this is very, very true. I found out long ago that I have a favorable reaction of calm clarity and default to logic instead of freezing or overreacting, and I also found out that without training I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. I would much rather be hyperventilating and shaking but have a clear training-based plan of action than to calmly realize I'm useless at the moment. I still do my best, but I think people overvalue clear thinking in the moment.
Just know what you’re getting into. A friend of mine was an EMT and studied and tested to become a Paramedic.
He did that for two years and left the field completely, and won’t talk about it.
Paramedics are the real frontline of trauma and human tragedy, and it can take a special kind of person to work and cope with that kind of environment.
I can't imagine someone named their language "of", "programming", or "in". So, I guess 3. Joy and Odin are obvious since they have shown up here recently.
Totally tangential, but am I the only one that was taught to put punctuation inside of quotes and now despises that rule?
If you're referring to the period at the end of the sentence, I don't like that rule either.
Seems more natural to have the period after the closing quote, at least in cases like this sentence of yours from above:
>I can't imagine someone named their language "of", "programming", or "in".
But I think there may be cases where period inside and before closing quote may seem better, e.g. if quoting what someone said, like a quoted sentence inside another sentence.
The "operating system" is not really operating the system anymore. They're just an app sandboxed away from the real hardware by the real operating systems hidden away in the machine.
