Washington has said since last month that it was concerned China might provide Russia with weapons, which Beijing has denied. ![]() The United States has reacted with extreme scepticism, given China's refusal to condemn Russia's invasion, and said a ceasefire now would only lock in Russian territorial gains and give Putin more time for his army to regroup. Ukraine, which says any settlement would require Russia to withdraw from all the territory it has seized including the Crimean peninsula Russia annexed in 2014, cautiously welcomed the Chinese proposal. China has publicly remained neutral in the Ukraine conflict, while criticising Western sanctions against Russia and reaffirming its close ties with Moscow.īeijing last month published a 12-point paper calling for dialogue and a settlement in Ukraine, but it contained only general statements and no concrete proposal for how the year-long war might end.

On this occasion, samples from India, Pakistan and Mexico were being deposited alongside seeds from Syria, many of whose citizens are living through their own apocalypse. But it is the much smaller, localized destruction and threats facing gene banks all over the world that the vault was designed to protect against-and it’s why the vault was opened in February, when TIME visited. The Global Seed Vault has been dubbed the “doomsday” vault, which conjures up an image of a reserve of seeds for use in case of an apocalyptic event or a global catastrophe. ![]() It is the farthest north you can fly on a commercial airline, and apart from the nearby town of Longyearbyen, it is a vast white expanse of frozen emptiness. It would be difficult to find a place more remote than the icy wilderness of Svalbard. “Inside this building is 13,000 years of agricultural history,” says Brian Lainoff, lead partnerships coordinator of the Crop Trust, which manages the vault, as he hauls open the huge steel door leading inside the mountain. ![]() It is essentially a huge safety deposit box, holding the world’s largest collection of agricultural biodiversity. Millions of these tiny brown specks, from more than 930,000 varieties of food crops, are stored in the Global Seed Vault on Spitsbergen, part of Norway’s Svalbard archipelago. It’s not coal, oil or precious minerals, but seeds. Deep in the bowels of an icy mountain on an island above the Arctic Circle between Norway and the North Pole lies a resource of vital importance for the future of humankind. ![]() ![]() ![]() Roll for the Galaxy is very complex for such a compact dice game. Whether or not it’s true, you can contain an entire galaxy in the form of a few cards and a handful of dice. Who ventures life and soul upon the dice.” ―Horace (Roman scholar), 1st century BCEĭid you ever hear of the theory that an entire universe could be contained within a single atom? “Cursed is the wretch enslaved to such a vice, If you’re jonesing for a round of Arkham but can’t get a group together, Elder Sign has you covered. Eventually, they’ll either complete the quest and gain a reward, or fail and receive a penalty (usually a loss in health or sanity). The quests get progressively harder because each reroll removes a die from the dice pool. Players will take any die that matches the quest and reroll for anything remaining. To complete quests, the investigators roll a handful of custom dice and try to match up the symbols on the quest card. Investigators must go on quests to stop the Elder gods from awakening. If you’ve ever played Arkham, you’ll know that a toned-down version of Arkham is still a lot of game.Įlder Sign is almost like a warped version of Yahtzee. It’s basically a toned-down, dice version of Arkham Horror. If that sounds familiar, it’s because it’s from the same designer of Arkham Horror and shares a lot of the same themes and some mechanics.

Okay, now that we have an idea of where dice games originated, let’s get rolling (pun intended). If you’re a nerd like me, check out our article on the history of board games to get the full story. In his Encyclopedia of Play in Today’s Society, Jay Laird theorized that dice developed from the practice of fortunetelling with the talus of hoofed animals, colloquially known as “knucklebones”, one of the oldest divination techniques that incorporate randomness. Six-sided dice may be the most common but probably developed from “dice” that were a little less square. If you’ve ever played Dungeons & Dragons, you’ll be familiar with 4-sided, 8-sided, 10-sided, 12-sided, and even 20-sided dice. “At the Egyptian city of Naucratis there was a famous old god whose name was Theuth the bird which is called the Ibis was sacred to him, and he was the inventor of many arts, such as arithmetic and calculation and geometry and astronomy and draughts and dice, but his great discovery was the use of letters.” The Many Faces of DiceĪlthough they may be what first comes to mind when you think of dice, six-sided dice are not the only game in town (pun intended). The ancient Greek philosopher Plato credits an Egyptian god with the invention of dice, saying, One of the oldest mythological fables tells of the Roman god Mercury playing at dice with Selene and winning from her the five days of the epact (thus totaling the 365 days of the year and harmonizing the lunar and solar calendars). ![]() ![]() But, there is also a rich ecosystem of Windows and macOS devices that run device firmware (think Apple TVs and Microsoft Surface for a few examples). Linux is far and away the most common operating system on the type of devices where you’re likely to encounter a TFTP server. Ensure your server machine is secured in some other way such as with a firewall or by limiting the network interfaces the server listens on. There is no concept of user accounts so anyone will be able to connect to your TFTP server. Due to this limited functionality, TFTP servers can have an extremely small footprint on the disk as well as in memory, making it ideal for use in embedded network devices.Ĭaution: TFTP has zero security. The protocol is not capable of allowing more advanced functionality but compensates by using the lockstep method of fault-tolerance that makes it extremely reliable. In contrast, TFTP offers only the ability to upload or download a file and uses UDP over IP instead of the more standard TCP/IP stack.

![]() ![]() She asked fundamental questions like, are keywords the right way to indicate a bug? Would it be better to have a multistate flag?īecause a question about a bug being a regression is non-binary, there’s several questions to be answered about how a bug is flagged, she said. Humphries also revisited what it means to track a bug throughout the entire system. Over time there’s so much optional metadata that’s been added that “I started going through the metadata and asking ‘is this necessary?’,” she said. Humphries started by taking a step back and reviewing the system as a whole, starting with metadata. Then there was the issue of exploding metadata. As Luis Villa noted, “Votes end up having no bearing on actual bug validity, importance, or severity.” It turns out, Humphries said, that voting is a rotten way to prioritize features. These were built on an ad-hoc basis and Humphries inherited an unwieldy system desperately in need of cohesion and modernization.Īnother issue was the way bugs were prioritized. Twenty years ago, SaaS wasn’t a thing, so over the years, the system was adopted by teams across the company, from HR to legal and even for mascot requests for Foxy, all of whom asked for customizations to fit their specific use cases. And with over 1.5 million bugs in the system, scaling was no longer an option.īecause Bugzilla had a database and access control list, it could be used to track both bugs and tasks. What Humphries inherited when she arrived almost four years ago was a system that had been adapted and customized in ways that worked for the immediate needs of various groups throughout Mozilla, but made it impossible to scale. Modernizing Bugzillaīut before the BugBug could be created, Bugzilla itself needed some fundamental changes. The challenge, she said, is how to use machine learning wisely. ![]() It’s not like they could dump in data from the 1.5 million bugs and simply train off of that. Not all people who submit bugs are engineers, so there’s a danger in training BugBug on bugs that were written by people who come from different backgrounds, said Humphries. “People just weren’t picking up bugs that were general,” said Humphries.Ĭastelluccio wrote in the “ Teaching machines to triage Firefox bugs” post, that “To help get bugs in front of the right Firefox engineers quickly, we developed BugBug, a machine learning tool that automatically assigns a product and component for each new untriaged bug.” Sixty percent of the bugs are tagged in a general component by users submitting the bugs, but bugs were only being picked up to be worked on from a specific component. feature requests, or meta bugs, or refactorings, and so on.”īugzilla uses a classification system for bugs, which tag every bug. ![]() “This makes it hard to know which bugs are bugs and which bugs are not bugs but e.g. “Bugs are used to track anything, from ‘Create an LDAP account for contributor X’ to ‘Printing page Y doesn’t work,’” He wrote. Bugzilla is a 20-year old bug tracking system where engineers and Firefox users can submit bugs they find.īugBug, Mozilla’s new ML platform, automatically assesses each new bug and automatically assigns it to the correct product and component. This is just the first phase of this work.īugzilla is a noisy data source, wrote Marco Castelluccio on his blog at GitHub titled “It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.” Adding machine learning (ML) to Bugzilla is solving several problems, said Emma Humphries, Bugmaster at Mozilla, the organization behind the Firefox open source web browser. ![]() The Arashiyama Bamboo Forest entrance fee is free of charge and the opening hours are Monday to Sunday from 5:30 am – 11:30 pm.įind your way to Saga Arashiyama Station on the JR Sagano line using the JR Passand it’s a short 10-minute walk from here.
