There is no rule that there has to be a single payment per authorization, if you read for example mastercard API https://in.gateway.mastercard.com/api/documentation/integrat... it says you can partially capture, you can extend authorization. So for all you know when you buy at amazon it just updates the authorization and charges you later but keeps authorization going and amazon might just check if they have auth token for your card and if they do system allows you to continue and to you it seems instant.

This is only true if people stick to a version of a language and don't upgrade.

If you upgrade then, for example, you can't run all of your PHP 5 code in PHP 8, most of it you can but you will have to change the parts that are broken, which are the areas that are repaired in PHP 8.

Same goes for other languages like C# or Python

They are only sensitive to vibration while running, if turned off then just checks and re-calibration needed before turning them on again.

Is that just sloppiness on their part or is it LLM chat bots being used with a prompt "hey give me current versions of these languages" without verifying the result?

I think by crash they mean program stopping execution and being unable to continue, so by that metric Erlang didn't fully crash.

Erlang is designed with a mechanism that makes it easy for external processes to monitor for crashes (or hardware failures), rather than an in-process mechanism like exception handling used in many other programming languages.

Erlang was designed with the aim of improving the development of telephony applications.

The Erlang runtime system provides strict process isolation between Erlang processes (this includes data and garbage collection, separated individually by each Erlang process) and transparent communication between processes on different Erlang nodes (on different hosts).

The "let it crash" philosophy prefers that a process be completely restarted rather than trying to recover from a serious failure. Though it still requires handling of errors, this philosophy results in less code devoted to defensive programming where error-handling code is highly contextual and specific.

It is ongoing project but there doesn't seem to me enough financing, the money that EU allocates only cover about half of the required budget so they are looking for investors.

Correct it is a new rail line not an alteration of existing tracks, but it goes into some existing and new (mostly cargo) stations so some stations will have both gauges of track.

I don't think it is fair to compare Netherlands to other countries like UK or France because Netherlands has a well established culture around bikes and bike lane infrastructure is one of the best in the world, so it will be the last country that will have any issues because of e-bikes.

They already did, about a month ago.

> I don't know if switching modes like he did was standard procedure and if the resulting failure was unusual or not.

Pilot switched mode back to normal flight because it was the switch to landing mode is what caused his HUD and PFD to turn off in the first place.

Yes it is a driver which is signed and tested by Microsoft. Driver allows to run arbitrary unsigned code. Why is that allowed?

vor 2 Jahrendiscuss

You are right Microsoft are not checking the 3rd party code itself they are only running a lot of tests on the compiled code.

There is a recent video now from a former Microsoft employee where he explains that those drivers that get WHQL certification are ran on test machines in stress conditions for some time, or at least that is how it used to be when he worked there.

Since that process is probably quite slow to be able to push update within a couple hours Crowdstrike just bypassed the QA testing by injecting their own data files into the driver.

vor 2 Jahrendiscuss

WHQL signifies it is tested and that driver is WHQL certified.

vor 2 Jahrendiscuss

I also think Microsoft should be responsible, they gave the keys to sign the kernel driver so I expect that driver to at least be subject to regular testing and scrutiny not just when initial release was made.

It depends if the tickets are trip based or time based, for time based system you don't always need validator.

I have visited Prague in 2019 and their subway had no barriers, ticket machines were tucked somewhere in the corner so that I had to actively look around. Interestingly the metal poles where sticking out of the floor up to waist height with a spacing like that they used to have validators on them before.

Since I had a 3 day ticket and I validated it on the bus when going from the airport I didn't need a validator. Their trams and buses had validators in usual places, so subway probably has them too but not in an obvious place or the ticket machines already print ticket with time on it so you don't need to validate it.

There is a screenshot of an email that someone from Ukraine sent to Sony support and their response was that you can create an account using PS5 but not from a PC.

Here in europe it is a government database where all the clinics and pharmacies are connected to, so doctor essentially creates a record in the database.

When you visit pharmacy they ask for id and enter your id number system shows them all your active prescriptions and past ones as well, which sometimes helps when your prescription is not renewed for some reason they can give you a week supply while you sort it out.

Before internet was commonplace you would have to go to a doctor and get a paper prescription which was sometimes done on a paper with watermarks and verification was that this piece of paper has a stamp or a seal on it and doctor's signature.

There were more forgeries with paper prescription than there is with online system.

I can only see it using dism to apply the patch but there is no commands to manipulate partition size so if the cause is lack of free space it will fail same as update did.

Here in europe that is exactly what I see, a store will show me tracking number and if I click on it carrier website says - "Label printed" so you know it is not picked up yet. DPD carrier does it like that.
