I'm thinking this will be a natural progression because part of the "AI slop deluge" are now real bug reports generated by these AIs. I'm glad for this noise around the regression as so many more folks are now aware of this issue.
heh assigning value to @balance is that really part of the transaction? because @balance isn't even part of the database lol
still, anytime you use an isolation mode besides serializable you have to know the details and even with serializable if you aren't catching on failure in your app then you're sending your deadlock or timeout message to your end user.
I used to debug procedures with "sleep" tsql interspersed through code, this way I could deliberately overlap procedure executions and see how that went.
In my last job I had to support app developers who were happy with the "nolock" keyword even when marshalling info for updates. Shortly before I left that job in disgust I was at least able to have the developers quit using "nolock" everywhere, unfortunately their remediation to prevent use of the "nolock" keyword was to use "SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED" at the top of their code haha
yeah 3 bucks a gig here for quite a while, finally got a kinda sorta unlimited connection recently. I scripted up a meter of sorts to watch my traffic and its amazing how much is just trash. video advertising of any sort is awful. there were many sites that if I just forgot about them in the browser window they would happily reload periodically and trash my days budget lol, then using "links" for just reading really shows off how many websites just reject you for not having javascript.
>it sounds like you are fully capable of manufacturing that weapon if you really wanted to.
A significant portion of the HN population could probably jury rig something up, it just has no value in the wikipedia case when you can simply hop on a compromised internet device, no spoofing needed. In the context of "foreign country posts lies with bogus ip", ip spoofing just can't compete when you can get the real deal full on two way functional tcp/ip connection from any acquired proxy device legal or not.
Look you're trying to make believe you have a secret weapon on a website where most folks know how computers work lol quit trying to make secret weapon happen when you don't actually have one.
The term IP spoofing used to really only apply to some networking layer in my experience, placing bogus ips in headers was more likely called header forgery and happened in the application. It wouldn't make sense for wikipedia to rely on easily forged headers when they can simply examine the network connection and use that address.
Actual IP spoofing still can't really impersonate a valid tcp connection unless its all send and no read, even with your second link, both sides of the "tunnel" have to spoof the source ip in their messages so thats not likely going to happen with wikipedia unless their security gets broken somehow and in that case well all bets are off lol
sure, but if your objective is to post from an ip other than your own, your second link would compare poorly against just renting some compromised host or cell phone from your friendly anonymous proxy black market. why try to shoehorn some wierd tunnel into wikipedias web server infrastructure when you can just post your propoganda with a genuine tcp/ip connection from a hacked cell phone lol
