>. It doesn't seem right to put that in the filesystem itself

It absolutely belongs in the filesystem. When you're doing RAID of any type across the devices, you need that layer to manage the underlying media. A single device view will never appropriately manage wear leveling and garbage collection.

There's a reason companies like NetApp have been working with drive vendors to have more control over the underlying media:

Haskell (and any other GC language) has big runtime requirements that rust does not. It's not just about the ABI.

Your argument does apply to Ada, but freeing from the heap in Ada is unsafe, which has made it difficult to use in a safe way for a lot of cases.

Rust really does make an advance in this regard: safety, and no significant runtime requirements.

D and modern C++ might work for disciplined teams, but seem a few steps behind rust safety-wise.
Does anybody use ZFS as replacement for a database backup/restore on a test environment? I'm not sure but it seems that it's possible to use ZFS snapshots in order to quickly restore previous database state.
Note: it's just a question, I'm not advising to try that.
If pricing in externalities increases the price goes up by a factor of three and bitcoin mining continues at 1/3rd the energy usage then it's no longer a waste. As long as you've done it correctly so that the price is accurate, then people will only use that energy if the benefit it creates is greater.

Using energy for some benefit is fine, and bitcoin clearly has some benefit. There's only a problem when the benefit is lower than the cost of the energy, and that only happens when the energy's price doesn't reflect its cost.

I've seriously thought about it myself, shutting off and going back to closed software.

a. the competitor would have to based outside middle east. hard to imagine european companies entering that market. (won't have the funding) chinese wouldn't really try that as well because the market is too different. it'll have to be US based; so either Uber or Lyft.

b. it's also not specifically about Uber per-se; the author is against the argument that it would be inevitable for a company with a business model that is based on some sort of illegality would have a toxic culture so companies re-thinking regulations should be banned altogether. because this kind of thinking hurts the public good.

> But isn't that also the case with the topic under discussion, net neutrality? I mean, it is not the case that any carrier has unfairly shaped traffic

TFA: "Censorship by ISPs is a serious problem. Comcast has throttled Netflix, AT&T blocked FaceTime, Time Warner Cable throttled the popular game League of Legends, and Verizon admitted it will introduce fast lanes for sites that pay-and slow lanes for everyone else-if the FCC lifts the rules. This hurts consumers and businesses large and small."

> to the extent that they're determining winners and losers

The saga goes something like this: NN has been the assumed default since at least the late 90's. ISPs recently started to seriously test that presumption. FCC stepped in, and here we are. The NN rule started in 2015, but has been the default behavior of ISPs for decades.

ISPs have been chomping at the bit to take advantage of their monopoly for decades. Comcast and Verizon are blatantly gearing up for this play, including via huge acquisitions.

The "wait until they really screw you" argument is an uncompelling call to non-action.

> This fear is totally hypothetical as well.

Again, no, it's not. ISPs are coming out and saying publicly "yes, we will do this".

The private for-profit sector doesn't provide systematic disaster relief, anecdotes of charity whipped into a frenzy by mega-corp's PR firms aside. For-profit FEMA just Does. Not. Exist.

Here's a catalog of various forms of actual disaster relief provided after Katrina: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina_disaster_rel...

Read -- actually read -- the overview of that article. Even when the government abjectly fails at disaster relief it still does several orders of magnitude more than private for-profit enterprises.

Katrina was a failure of early warning and evacuation protocols, not a failure of disaster response mechanisms.

Which makes sense -- aside from price gouging, there's no profit to be made on emergency response.

Apparently all these FUBAR C/C++ systems (Linux and Windows kernels, all? web browsers, LLVM that the dear rust uses, device drivers, web servers, router software, VMs of Lua, Python, C#, Java, ..., etc.) work well enough to transfer that kind of garbage to me.

Yes, they work well enough, until they don't, because realistically, they are rife with dependencies on undefined behaviour. Linux can only be compiled with gcc last I checked.

So it's alright that companies lie and it's the employees fault for not knowing they were being lied too? Brilliant. Another thought, if Uber wasn't completely incompetent in managing it's finances and didn't hemorrhage money like a rich cocaine addict in Bolivia, they could probably afford to pay fair wages.
For years the fix ("block pointer rewrite" feature) was promised as coming eventually, but that effort was abandoned. BTRFS will reach ZFS levels of stability before ZFS reaches BTRFS levels of flexibility.

I think he was just trying to be more clear on what we define as "learned" in the context of math. Many people "learn" math and do well on tests because they have memorized ways to manipulate equations to resolve the problem without actually understanding abstractly what is going on, and are thus often less creative with their maths. Ironically, I've found that those students who appear to excel in maths are usually the ones who are less curious about the why and how of math. Maths is usually taught in a way that it discourages the people who seem to struggle with it when they are often just trying to understand the depth of it more. I was one of these students in high school, and thought I just wasn't gifted. Fortunately I had the discipline to learn it and eventually had a really good teacher.

Your post is good and I upvoted, but I had to fight the instinct to downvote when you automatically assume those with the opposite POV are "shills", implying they are not sincere contributors. We need more people who are entertaining a moderated dialogue that acknowledge the value of the principles on both sides of the aisle, as your post does: a role for commerce and a role for reasonable regulation. However, calling the other sides "shills" in the first sentence makes many who may benefit immediately dismiss the comment.

I would suggest the best way to fix ISP competition is to make wireless ISPs faster/cheaper/better/more reliable. This obviates the "last mile" problem that makes competition in landline businesses so untenable.

How does Clojurescript lookup for a module you declare?

For example, in https://github.com/omcljs/om/blob/c68e668a73cc534ecfdc71d631... (couldn't think of any Clojurescript library), you have `[om.dom`, `[cljsjs.react`, `[goog.dom`. Where does the compiler look for these things? How does it knows one is a local module and the other an external package?

It's not just the config; Pylint assumes it's possible to statically parse code and make some simple assumptions about things like class / module members, which only works for the most straightforward Python code. It issues constant warnings for many third-party packages - the one that broke the back of it for us was protobuf, in which it complains on every access to any one of the generated classes. In the end we moved to flake8 as well, which finds probably 90% of the issues that Pylint did but at < 1% of the false positive rate.

I've been disappointed in linux filesystems and Intel hardware lately. Little integrity checking in ext4 and btrfs is still having growing pains. Recent search for a svelte laptop with ECC memory yielded nothing. Sheesh, wasn't this stuff invented like 30+ years ago?

I understand Intel is segmenting reliability into higher-priced business gear, but as a developer that depends on this stuff for their livelihood the current status quo is not acceptable.

Linux should have better options since profit margins are not an impediment.

correct, the number of devices in a raidz1/2/3 vdev cannot change. However you can replace all of the drives one at a time with higher capacity drives and most zfs installs will grow your vdev.

You could also add another raidz vdev if you have the space in the server, eventually they should level out depending on workload.

"Best" solution, read most expensive, would be to copy the data over to a new server you've configured for the new load/capacity.

This explains net neutrality really well. https://www.cnet.com/news/comcast-vs-netflix-is-this-really-...

It discusses the use of faster lanes that only companies with money would have access to. At first this seems fair that companies should be able to purchase better technology to improve their speed. The question then becomes what happens to traffic on the slower lanes? I could argue this both ways. At the end of the day, the history of most ISP companies makes me not trust them.

For the user. What you're describing is still going to cause complex UX.

So let's say I'm interested in exactly two things. Russian dash cam videos and videos of trains without narration.

I go to the homepage and click on one type of video, what should the next video be? A random video from the two categories? One or the other? Should it show me a banner at the top indicating what recommendation mode I'm in (historical preference or "similar to current video").

Now I go and do the same on my Android YouTube app which has no real UI equivalent of a homepage, what happens then?

This is a lot of UX complexity for a feature few probably care about.

I hope they did some user testing to see how people actually behave in the presence of such warnings but in my experience it does nothing. Worse, it's in an environment that is already rife with little messages in corners trying to get your attention (ads) so users may be more "blind" when browsing than usual.

The success of "Let's Encrypt" suggests that a key part of the problem wasn't a lack of user complaints about security. Rather, it was a lack of a sane model (both technically and economically) for setting up and maintaining certificates. In the end, people maintaining sites already had 100 other things to worry about and weren't going to get around to HTTPS with anything less.
New Zealand too. The state of broadband was abysmal, since Telecom had a monopoly on the lines, so you'd pay a small fortune, and get a tiny (like 5 GB, small even for 2007) data cap. After the unbundling, we had a bunch of competition pop up and drive the prices down, and data caps up (these days, data caps are very uncommon, the opposite direction the USA is going).

These days, we've gone one step further, and the majority of lines are owned by wholesalers, who don't deal directly with the consumer.

node.js security releases available for all active release lines, July 2017
There's always a choice. Suppose your ISP started charging you $10,000 per month for the service you have now? Would you pay it? Could you? No, you'd probably just go without home service, or rely on your cellular data plan, or get dialup, or just take an internet sabbatical until the ISP cleaned up their act.

For some people, their tolerance for bullshit is less than others. For those people, perhaps charging a dollar extra for YouTube access is enough. It only takes a fairly small percentage of customers to put a lot of pressure on service providers. Monopoly or not.

> My grandmother pays $30/mo for internet access that she barely uses, and I don't think it's right to enshrine into law that Comcast can't offer her a plan where she pays $5/mo instead for limited access to the few sites she uses.

ISPs are too greedy for that nonsense. You're more likely to see $30 becoming the base price, and $50 is what it costs to access more content. Price shouldn't be based on what sites you like to visit. Under the title 2 designation, the internet is treated as a utility, so ISPs can't charge consumers based on how they use the internet, akin to how your water company can't charge you a premium if you decide to drink the water instead of using it to water your lawn. Abolishing net neutrality would allow for just that.

> As a bandwidth-hogging internet user, a lack of net neutrality will probably mean that I will pay more.

Why? ISPs already have data caps to charge customers more. Data caps are another story altogether... The cost of increasing broadband capacity has declined much faster than the increase in data traffic. For that reason alone Sonic doesn't impose data caps. If an ISP as big as Comcast says data caps are because heavy users are costing them more money, or saturating their network, it's a bunch of bullshit. One of the big reasons some ISPs have data caps is to keep customers from cord cutting cable TV. AT&T owns DirectTV, Comcast is a huge cable TV provider, they don't want customers relying solely on services like Netflix. If they can get customers to pay for both internet and TV, they will.
Don't think they are the same. Google's major world wide consumer famous products are Google search, Gmail, YouTube. Second tier would be Google Docs, Google Drive. Google Photos is pretty small in comparison to any of them.
