  1. #Java crash bug on #macOS 14.4 is in my wheelhouse (resilience.)

    Root cause seems to be they changed what signal the OS sends to a process when certain kind of mem access is attempted

    In the case in question the kernel previously delivered a SIGBUS or #SIGSEGV

    If you've ever heard of a program crashing via a so-called #segfault it means the process received a #SEGV sig, it did NOT handle it explicitly (& robustly) & the default behavior was to crash

    now they SIGKILL it! *cannot* be handled!

  2. I’m convinced our “leaders” will never be able to do anything about gun violence in this country, even if they wanted to.

    The only way I can see this changing is calling a general Strike to End Gun Violence #SEGV. There’s simply no other way. It comes down to deciding whether your family’s life is worth more than your job. I’m sure for some it’ll be their job, but if enough choose their families, it will result in change.

    At this point, I can’t even imagine anything else that would work.
