Between this and Epstein not going away, Trump's pulling out all the stops:
Moving Ghislaine Maxwell to a comfier prison, and moving nuclear submarines to respond to Medvedev.

Solved! 
This was a pretty "interesting" bug. Remember when I invented a way to implement #async / #await in #C, for jobs running on a threadpool. Back then I said it only works when completion of the task resumes execution on the *same* pool thread.
Trying to improve overall performance, I found the complex logic to identify the thread job to put on a pool thread a real deal-breaker. Just having one single MPMC queue with a single semaphore for all pool threads to wait on is a lot more efficient. But then, a job continued after an awaited task will resume on a "random" thread.
It theoretically works by making sure to restore the CORRECT context (the original one of the pool thread) every time after executing a job, whether partially (up to the next await) or completely.
Only it didn't, at least here on #FreeBSD, and I finally understood the reason for this was that I was using #TLS (thread-local storage) to find the context to restore.
Well, most architectures store a pointer to the current thread metadata in a register. #POSIX user #context #switching saves and restores registers. I found a source claiming that the #Linux (#glibc) implementation explicitly does NOT include the register holding a thread pointer. Obviously, #FreeBSD's implementation DOES include it. POSIX doesn't have to say anything about that.
In short, avoiding TLS accesses when running with a custom context solved the crash.

I'm trying to correct a longtime gap by finally reading Twain's Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn books, and have to admit—I hate them. Yeah, there's real craft here, and some great storytelling, but OMG it's nonstop n****r n****r n****r and I'm sure Twain was trying to be on the right side of things but it's just relentless. Reminds me how we queer folk are supposed to revere The Boys In The Band, which has a similar problem, but with sad gayness.

That’s why it’s called Establishment journalism. You concentrate on the people at the top, the people with power; you watch, you study how they make their moves, you get fascinated by it, and pretty soon you can’t see anything else — just the top, just the power. And the others, the people, the readers, matter so little that you don’t even bother to let them know what’s going on. You start to think like the people you cover. It can happen on any beat — business, police, politics, education. The stuff you want is from the top — you want to quote the chief, the superintendent, the chairman of the board. There are no reliable sources who earn less than $10,000 a year.

CBS has had its famed *60 Minutes* trophy 'news' show, shifted & shamed:

As told by long-time reporter Scott Pelley. the executive producer has left, out of conscience & concerns about the apparent bending of principles to help corporate Paramount be seen favorably by a tyrannical, #corrupt & #truth -averse Administration.

#Context is everything. TLAs change and evolve.
#ATM was a robo-#bank. Now, it's this little slice of now.
#TMI used to be the setting for a #nuclear #accident. Now, it's more than you want to know.
#MCP was what some of us might call a masculine-presenting anti-#feminist. Now, it's how various flavors of #AI can tell each other #stories.

On algorithmic complacency... and context collapse.
"I am seeing mounting evidence that an increasing number of people are so used to algorithmically-generated feeds that they no longer care to have a self-directed experience that they are in control of."
"... it feels like large swaths of people have forgotten to exercise their own agency."
And this here is not only an amazing find of a #hoard of Celtic and Roman coins near Utrecht in the Netherlands, but a really great example illustrating how much more of the whole story we can tell thanks to find #context:

This from Meidas Touch, for some #Context And #Perspective - Sorry, it's embedded in #Muskville (this video)

ProTip: in the future, please include this picture and the hashtag #PhonyStark in any post re: Musk or any of his companies. #Context
This is in itself alarming, & a challenge to agencies, science etc. Hate to say - on Christmas! - but this is #context for what some very wise journalists & social scientists / #media watchers are saying:
One of the most worrisome things under the incoming, anti-science, anti-logic, anti- #truth ers, is: "What if", in particular, we see a bona fide pandemic engulfing our country (besides #TrumpVirus the original) - WHAT IF an RFK & DJT & Musk triumvirate say it's fake? Deja vu?
I think it's accurate to say that 'must' is too constraining, and that we usually have a one side or the other view of measurements (/interactions).
So either we'll find time dilation or length contraction (or even a blend of both) depending on the logistics/topology of the systems involved, and our choice (which can be from just 1 alternative) of framing the perspective being used. #context
Edit: The way you state part two is fine in most cases. I would say it inside out: the laws are consistent because the measured SOL, from any observer & frame, is consistent.
Being able to write laws is the result of consistent behavior/reactions to consistent/measured change (holding other things constant, as a reductive basis).
2024 has been my best year in terms of number of #citations to my #research articles, with over 1000 citations this year alone.
BUT, more than an increased appreciation of my work, I think this signals a shift in the way research is published. I'm looking at you #arxiv. 
Not complaining. More #open #publication and #openscience is never bad. I'm just explaining this as #young #researchers should understand #context is always key when evaluating a researchers #CV and that citation count is always a partial perspective.
