I think ZFS is the only viable open source CoW total storage management option commercially. These new Linux filesystems are way too late to the party, and it will take a decade for them to reach maturity when they reach basic 1.0 feature parity.

In parallel I see XFS as the long term evolution for Linux file systems. It will continue to scale slightly up from where it sits today and address fail in place, flash, metadata checksums, snapshots etc where total storage management is done by overlays like HDFS, object stores, etc.

>> Reason isn't technological.

I would say that was the technology of the time. A common cause of this problem was that the cells were often not completely transparent. So the differences became more apparent as more layers were stacked. I guess we could agree that maybe they used a cheaper version of the technology.

Newer cartoons don't have to use the flat shading on backgrounds method because today's technology is different than the past. Cartoons of today can be drawn and shaded however the artists wish and they will not be limited by the cell layering method. Unless, their production methods force the issue, which is still possible.

But you are correct there ways to overcome the problems of the layering method, but it wasn't worth doing for most projects at the time.

It was indeed, since people had started recognizing the problems with Flash and Silverlight, and they'd have been much easier to kill off.

DRM should have stayed second-class, leaving the way open for competitors to offer a first-class web experience as long as they left DRM behind.

Unless you are using a pretty crippled computer to work on, then yes, you may not need VSCode/Atom. Otherwise I don't see an issue here. everything is about choice.

These benchmarks on a modern i3/i5 processors and with 8GB of ram, which is almost the standard now, wont give those slow numbers published.

also, I'm pretty sure VSCode at least have gained way more performance that you wouldn't notice these "lags".

Most of CD including deployments already works for private projects, it is only the auto deploy https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/autodeploy/index.html that doesn't work yet. We would all like to see auto deploy working with private projects and it is scheduled for 9.1

But are we not just in the world of normal warrants here?

To my mind private spaces (be that my house or my hard drive) should have some protection, but it seems reasonable that that is less than my personal freedom.

I have no issue with a warrant being issued on a balance of probabilities basis in order to find evidence to convict a person based on beyond a reasonable doubt.

And all this ignores the possibility of discovering further crimes and accomplices by investigating the contents of this drive - if there is a balance of probabilities likelihood of find those on the drive I don't see any problems with compelling this to be revealed.
They used VSCode 1.4 for the tests - the latest stable version is 1.10. Could that be the issue?
Dark days, indeed. Sacrificing the open web so some can watch movies.
That wasn't his central point I don't think, also Flash and Silverlight where largely beaten by the Open Web because they never got the adoption sufficient to rival it.

So instead they lobbied for it to be built in, the day will come when view source won't work anymore because everything fed down will protected by DRM and we moved another step closer to turning the web into a gigantic walled garden for whoever the incumbents are at that point in time.

It would be better if the platforms that wanted DRM just made their own damn desktop apps, just like they make their own iOS apps, Android apps, Roku apps, smart tv apps, etc. There's no reason for them to be embedded in a browser.
A lot of early research into parallel algorithms and exploiting associativity for parallelism started at Thinking Machines, a Lisp supercomputer company.

If everyone had an open office, then very few would use the open space area. Also, providing offices for everyone is expensive, and it's harder to collect people sitting in different offices than it is when everyone's in an open space. I'm personally against everyone getting an office, but we'll agree to disagree :)
They are open source, much easier to extend than Sublime, and, most importantly, are regularly updated. Sublime goes through droughts where its creator is AWOL and when I used it I regularly wondered if each update was the last.
Diving a bit deeper, there's a fundamental debate about whether private schools taking vouchers will perform better than public schools. The essential argument in favor is based around the idea that with a free market and healthy competition we get a better education for less with lots of room to adapt to changing needs.

Those who reject vouchers argue that education is not and cannot be a free market in the usual sense. An important property of a free market is the ability for companies to fail: indeed, the majority of startups and small businesses fail. And while it's acceptable for restaurants a grocery stores to come and go, a private school going under has serious consequences. Unless the school goes under in the middle of summer break, all the students will be out of an education for a time. Even if neighboring schools are able to immediately take in all the displaced students, the disruption costs students weeks of productive learning. Also, competition requires people to have different options when choosing a school, but there's no guarantee schools will crop up appropriately, especially if poorer school districts will come with smaller vouchers. Finally, relating back to the article, if the private schools have any choice in which students they take, they will be incentivized to avoid taking students with disabilities, which generally are more costly to educate.

The proponent's response to all of this is that these problems can be alleviated with proper regulations, and then we leave the realm of ideology and it becomes a negotiation. Personally, I'm skeptical that a voucher system could be implemented well enough to improve education, though it could come out cheaper, but I don't think it's worth the risk. I'm open to the idea, though, or at least talking about it.

> Farmers can really help, because everyone knows we depend on them for our food, so anything that messes with them, messes with all of us.

Really? Because I'm perfectly happy getting my produce from Mexico and my rice from Thailand instead of American farmers. Farmers as a group feed the planet, but American farmers we don't need at all.
My experience points the other way. Surveys and textbooks are good in principle, but I rarely find myself using them in research. When you're looking to understand a very specific thing (e.g. what is ADMM? How fast does the conjugate gradient algorithm converge?), there's just far too much notational buy-in needed to get started in a survey, or god forbid to hunt down a textbook with a chapter on the subject. These are necessary evils if the topic is esoteric enough. But far more useful are lecture notes, powerpoint slides, technical articles, stackoverflow answers. These materials are scattered about the internet, and are useful even in their unpolished, typo-ridden state, is it any surprise they are the top hits on google? I am certain the community would benefit from polish and incentive to put these things down in paper.
I've had exactly one experience with an open office space. That was enough to turn me off from any company that has it. It was loud and noisy.

When I had a review, my supervisor told me that people didn't find me approachable because I head my headphones on.

When I mentioned I need a quiet space, he told me to "deal with it". When I questioned him on whether he had worked in an open space, he said he had, because he had been a NOC manager.

Different worlds, I soon left. That was the moment I realized I hated traditional corporate culture. Improved to startup, which I loved, until the "CEO" proved he was incompentent and furloughed us...
>These benchmarks on a modern i3/i5 processors and with 8GB of ram, which is almost the standard now, wont give those slow numbers published.

I don't think that's true at all. My personal experience using both VSCode and Atom on my i7-6700k/16GB work machine has mirrored these results. Files over 30-40k lines simply crash the program.
Brilliant thing! As a person pursuing a PhD I'd something that is in my opinion the best way to avoid research debt: have a good tutor or a good group (peers). This way you can learn new things (or ask for something you don't understand) and really get to the peak sooner that doing everything alone.

Except 2fa doesn't work in practice unless you're an expert.

See eg gmail: you can't set up 2fa without supplying a cell (you will be allowed to remove it later, but how many know to do this?) Your phone number is trivially stealable -- see eg youtube video of people just stealing phone numbers with a crying baby and a sob story. https://youtu.be/F78UdORll-Q?t=133

Also, lots and lots of places have trivial routes around 2fa because people losing their password and/or 2fa is an order of magnitude more common than theft.

How to Make Nuclear Innovative
Almost always, nobody has any intention to "make it run buggy." It's about making it run well on platforms you care about (and officially support), and ignoring the others. Complicated software is usually fragile enough that it will have similar results.
They did not put DRM into web standards. They put an open interface into web standards that can be used to interface to third party DRM, but could also be used for non-DRM purposes.
I think the point is that "Turn off your computer and personal devices when they’re not in use." is not an effective security measure. (What are you worried about? Malware? Malware can steal your account just as easily when you _are_ using your computer as when you aren't.)

Some of the other advice in that section is also rather questionable. (E.g. "Your password should not contain “real” words".)
OpenSuSE uses btrfs by default and relies on it for one of it's killer features. Before a system change, such as installing updates, changing services configuration, etc, is made using YaST, snapper takes a snapshot of the root filesystem. If something breaks, just roll back to the previous working state.

I'd say that for the OpenSuSE folks, btrfs falls squarely into the "good enough" category.
For the same reasons I like editors that use less RAM. I leave all kinds of stuff open all the time because that's more convenient, meaning eventually I run out of RAM no matter how much I have. If an editor takes a gigabyte of ram, that means it's one of the first things I'll close because it's the largest gain. If instead the same editor would only use 100mb of ram, it could stay open indefinitely and I would close a few browser tabs instead.
There's no problem with showing a preview of non-secure content. As long as the recipient knows to visit the official secure server for official copies of important information.
That's interesting to hear, because I've tried Atom three times now and the biggest deal-breaker every single time has been performance.

Around the first release, there was noticeable lag as I typed. About a year later, tabbing through find results was just absurdly slow. More recently, opening a multi-megabyte JSON file with syntax highlighting was an inexcusably painful experience.

I really, really want to use and support Atom, but the performance compared to Sublime has just been atrocious (in my experience).

It's slow, but high schools are generally moving to this model. The school I teach at does this. You are required to have a certain number of and type of credits but you have freedom in how you do this. For example, you are required to take biology, but your other science credits could be forensics, anatomy and physiology, and astronomy. In the past everyone would have to take biology, chemistry, and physics with no options until their senior year.

I don't like DRM, but I like binging Netflix in a corner on my laptop while I work. I've been doing it for years using Chrome with a fake user-agent to fool Netflix into thinking I'm on Windows (apparently that hasn't been needed for some time?) So...I'm torn, I guess. I'm glad Linux/Firefox can Netflix, but I'd like it if web standards were open and not patent encumbered.

I guess it's a political issue and not a technical one, and I doubt Netflix care all that much (I believe the content creators are the ones who insisted on DRM for Netflix to stream). Then again, now that Netflix is creating a lot of their own content, they might be evil on that front, too (as they're evil on net neutrality now that they are in a position of strength).
> "Why do you want to turn that off anyway?!?"

This. I can remember asking years ago, back when I had to work on OS X, asking how to turn off that freakin' annoying jumping icon in the system tray that leaped up and down after every successful print job until you dismissed it, just like an excited two-year-old telling you they went potty in the potty chair AGAIN, "Just like a big kid!" I can't imagine anyone thinking that attention-grabbing, ADHD-exacerbating, flow-destroying behavior was good by design, but was asked, "Why do you want to turn that off anyway?"
> Is that seriously worth a >10x slow down to you?

Mostly working with reasonably sized files, there's almost never a perceptible delay in anything except initial startup. A 10× speedup in the editor (which isn't the limiting factor) would have basically no value, so it's not worth compromising anything to get it.

That said, there are things I prefer, e.g., full IDEs or more specialized editors for, but almost never is it because Code or Atom is too slow.

Pretty weird, as far as rants go. Of course he doesn't begin to define what he means by "self-owning", exactly - nor does the article he links to define the term (or, recursively, the article that it links to). Nor should they bother trying -- because it's basically oxymoron.

These Google engineers are short-sighted. People who use the "Close other tabs" and "Close tabs to the right" options are also much more likely to disable sending usage statistics to Google (which is why its usage appears to be so low).

Keyword: "his entire twenties"

I don't know where I read it, but I like the idea of life stages. When you're in your 20's, hustle and grind and work a lot. You will never have as few obligations and as much energy as you do when you're young.

Take advantage of youth.

But if you're a 40-something with 3 kids and spend 16 hours a day grinding and working, and no time spending time with your family ... don't. Slow down.

A lot of GaryVee's advice is aimed at people who have few responsibilities and obligations in life and spend 5 hours every day watching TV or playing video games and complain that success doesn't come. Yeah, obviously it doesn't. Work harder.

If you're already working harder, you're not GaryVee's audience. How do you even have time to watch his stuff? ;)
Leveraging an email to steal anything is nothing new. If this is arguably a revelation, I should start asking this as an interview question. Also, the author never explicitly mentions to secure your email address.

> In the end I just let the money go

So, I've had pretty much your exact experience with T-Mobile, but I never did this. I just called and called and called. I'd stay on hold while I lifted or was driving around, it was no skin off my bones. When I had a person, I'd always repeat "this is exactly I want in no uncertain terms. Do you understand? Can you get me this? No? Please transfer me to your supervisor / retention." For some reason, they'd always transfer me up. I've almost never heard "no" to a transfer request. I've never not gotten what I wanted.

So maybe I'm just waaaaay more annoyingly persistent? :P I probably have notes raging at my dickishness on every account I hold.

> It is definitely related! Missing thyroid meds for just a few days could explain the symptoms you describe.

My girlfriend has hypothyroidism too, she takes the medication daily with rigor, and the endocrinologic results are normal. And yet, she is consistently much more tired than me, even though after a 9 hour sleep. We're currently trying to rule out allergy contributions and psychosomatic contributions, but living in Eastern Europe makes it not that easy to find helpful (and cheap and available) doctors.

My point here is: don't assume all tired people with hypothyroidism skip their meds or have a low dose.

A voucher would divert money from a public school, but it would also divert a student. If it costs $5,000/year to educate a student at a public school, grant a $3,000 voucher, and the public school would come out ahead since they have $2,000 dollars without a student.
