The strongest sign of a healthy democracy is that people participate in it. It's up to you to decide who to vote for, but no matter who you support, please show up and cast a ballot. A democracy with 75% voter turnout is healthier than a democracy with 50% voter turnout even exactly the same politicians got elected, because citizens participating in a democratic process signals that they...
Is that how it worked in 2005?
Readers might also consider my 2020 post "On the use of a life" to be an interesting companion piece: https://www.daemonology.net/blog/2020-09-20-On-the-use-of-a-...
The main reasons for this arrangement are political -- debt stays off the government's balance sheet, and labour disputes aren't "the government's fault".
Depends how big the bloom filter is. Most hashes are big and their bits are independent.
Do people get locked up for fatal traffic accidents? Do doctors get locked up if they prescribe a medicine which leads to a patient's death due to a side effect?
Criminal prosecution, in civilized countries, requires both Actus Reus and Mens Rea. If you deliberately commit computer crime using an AI system, you'll already be prosecuted; the cases we keep hearing about from AI labs have no human intent behind them.
The accepted solution to unintended harms is regulation: We have regulations about automotive safety, we have regulations about pharmaceutical testing and approval, etc.
I find this especially unfortunate given that, in my experience, drywallers understand the rest of the trades far better than vice versa, since they're in the position of being able to see everyone else's completed work.
COCOMO says that the cost scales superlinearly with the number of SLoC; my point is that drivers scale linearly because they're effectively separate projects. (In fact, to the extent that they're not separate projects, the cost in fact scales sublinearly since there's a bunch of code being copied and pasted when new drivers are written.) Your tool has this "--multiproject" concept; a better estimate would have identified which parts of the tree (primarily drivers) were functionally separate from the rest of the kernel.
I think its key point was absolutely correct: it would have cost far more than $50,000 USD to re-develop the Linux kernel of that time.
Oh, absolutely. I'm not disputing the conclusion; just the claim that an OS kernel is inherently more complex than another application of the same size.
I'm not convinced. The core OS kernel code, sure; but more than half of the Linux kernel is drivers, and those are not just applications but separate applications; a change in an Intel wifi driver is unlikely to interact in any way with the nvme driver.
But to prohibit anyone else from using it is a much bigger and more questionable step.
Not at all. Route 53 Files is a completely real service.
As a non-Amazonian I've never seen it, of course.
(In all seriousness, I've been reading AWS launch posts for 20 years; this one was mainly imitating the S3 Files launch post but I diverged by adding the customer quote and the FAQ -- because of course I started this process with a PRFAQ, and some of the questions in the FAQ are legitimately important.)
