I see what you mean, but ACID is a fairly foundational expectation for SQL transactions (D being the relevant feature here) That being said, my background is primarily Microsoft SQL more than Postgres. As such I'm…
I looked into this some more. There are other ways than explicit fsync. See this blurb on FUA (which basically treats the I/O as write-through) https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/sqlserver/sql-serve... More from…
I'm not sure we're using the same terminology. Committed means the transaction has been hardened to disk. That's the D in ACID. Otherwise, is the suggestion that there be an artificial delay to allow other transactions…
Sure, but now when transaction 1 is "committed", it isn't actually guaranteed to be there in the face of interruption. That's a big change to the default behavior...

PHP has grown up but in its wild youth was notorious for such gems as mysql_escape_string vs mysql_real_escape_string, rather than proper parameterization It's not so much about Turing as it is libraries and patterns…
Yes, you're right. I wasn't able to double-check as the repo was deleted at the time. That said, AIUI making the tags read-only would still often be vulnerable to semantic-version exploitation.
I don't think that's exactly what happened here: the compromise created new tags but generally the tag consumption relies on semantic versioning In other words: you specify version 44, the attacker creates 44.1, you're…
Erm, most file systems allow you to change data too, right? Hence S3 is emphatically not a file system.
Here's the link to that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40304666 Moral of the story: the "technical part" of things is not the end of the story Alternative moral: The 3-2-1 backup rule of thumb is still alive and…
Not to mention removal of the alternatives in favor of GPS, e.g. shutting down VOR beacons (see e.g. https://www.flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/popular/...)

It depends on what the broader economy is doing Is government spending crowding out private investment? (Is the private sector competing with the government for employees?). If so then GDP should increase Is…

What evidence have you seen that this was somehow instigated by China, and not Russian ethnic nationalism/imperialism for its own sake? Remember that this started well before 2022. This is a recap and prescient analysis…
By that logic, the world should have just given Hitler everything he wanted too, right, because Germany leaving would never happen. The Soviet Union left Afghanistan when the costs got too high. So did the US. Under…
I once thought this was the solution too, then NYC's ranked-choice mayoral race gave it Eric Adams. Now I don't know. Maybe open primaries?
Did Jeff Bezos enter your home and annex your attic?
Not to take away from your accurate point about oil, but I think it's silly to say the "we're still in the cold war" crowd were out of touch in this of all threads.
If someone is winning, it must mean someone else is losing (hence the "deal" sums to zero) There is no comprehension that an agreement might actually benefit both sides This is presumably why you hear such things as…
So change it afterwards. Good defaults are important. If someone doesn't change it, it's important that they be on the right path instead of...this one. (See also: opt-in versus opt-out for retirement plans, organ…
