The benchmark is a bit arbitrary, there are just too many variables. Filesystems (ZFS/ext4), RAID (ZFS Raid vs Linux Software Raid), compression (ZFS lz4 vs raw), IO-Scheduler (CFS, deadline, ULE). Also it is not clear if the Postgres dataset includes the data and transaction logs (WAL).

Yes, this is likely the reason: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204015, and maybe (due to bug or by design) these snapshots are enabled always, even if backup partition is not configured.

From abstract:

In this study, we gather a very large data set from GitHub
(728 projects, 63 Million SLOC, 29,000 authors, 1.5 million commits, in 17 languages) in an attempt to shed some empirical light
on this question. This reasonably large sample size allows us to use
a mixed-methods approach, combining multiple regression modeling with visualization and text analytics, to study the effect of language features such as static
v.s.
dynamic typing, strong
v.s.
weak
typing on software quality.

From conclusion:

The data indicates functional languages are better
than procedural languages; it suggests that strong typing is better
than weak typing; that static typing is better than dynamic; and that
managed memory usage is better than unmanaged. Further, that
the defect proneness of languages in general is not associated with
software domains. Also, languages are more related to individual
bug categories than bugs overall.

And I know that people can be irrational "on my side", as well. I just came back today from my Christmas vacation in an A320. The lady across the aisle was telling the young men in front of her to immediately put his seat upright. In a not-too-friendly voice.

It was obvious that the seat was already upright, it was in exactly the same position as the neighboring seats which were empty. After lots of button pushing and trying to comply the lady acted as if she was right and the young man had finally put his seat upright. That was a stupid, vicious woman.
Last year at CoreOS Fest I spoke to a gentleman from Google who said they think limiting Tensorflow nodes processing power and/or trimming out some nodes entirely appears to cause the entire model to become more robust and perform better by spreading certain attributes (like edge detection) across multiple nodes. A type of holistic training, if you will. I see correlation with a limitation on visualizations.

Regarding this particular article, members of this research group at New South Wales and related studies have been making a variety of claims regarding visualization over the past few years, including what appear to be loaded comments about Aphantasia.

These comments include:

“It’s a lack of the mind’s eye. My hunch is that there is something a bit different about their brains and that there may be a genetic component.” — Adam Zeman, University of Exeter

“If there’s too much activity and noise, it’s like sketching on a dirty piece of paper: it’s hard to see the drawing.” — Joel Pearson, University of New South Wales

“It could also alter moral judgement.” — Alice Klein, reporter for New Scientist while relating comments by Joel Pearson.

I would present a counter argument that our visual imaginations are not something to be considered "severely limited". Instead, our imaginations are something that may be limited, either by intent (see Zen) or by circumstances (non-visualizer). If someone happens to be a great visualizer, then good for them, but don't tell me I'm limited. ;)

Judging it to be something we lack and thus need more of is questionable. Perhaps the desired outcome is to have less of it, rather than more.

There were 500,000 new millionaires in the US alone in 2015:

The study, from market research and consulting firm Spectrem Group, found that there are now 10.1 million households in the U.S. with $1 million or more in investable assets, excluding the value of their primary residence.

That's up from about 9.6 million in 2013, and tops the prerecession peak of 9.2 million in 2007. It's the highest number since Spectrem began tracking the data in 1997.

If we cranking out half a million new millionaires a year, it should be sign more people are working to get into the top 1%, and the economy is still offering a ton of opportunity if you want to get out there and give it a go.

There's such little etiquette in airports and airplanes that it's a good opportunity to vent a little rage at everyone else. I think it's healthy. Like Purge Day in that movie "The Purge".

For example, how everyone stands up immediately as soon as the plane lands. Someone 5 rows back managing to depart before you because you remained seated until it's your row's turn, but they have one of those oversized carry-ons and can't even get it down. So they essentially cut in front of you just to make you wait on them.

"They can't run their applications on Linux or MacOS (or they certainly would)"

The vast majority of Windows users do not use Windows-only applications. They're using a browser, probably an office suit; both can be done on macOS or even Linux just as well.

So no, Windows users are not all clamoring to actually run macOS, only held back by apps that run on Windows but not on macOS.

Ironically, the buying-because-of-lock-in argument most describes macOS and especially iOS.

Were you using it to hash data for integrity? Or even worse, were you abusing it as a MAC [1]? That's the only way I can see it being so slow.

PBKDF2 is a password-based key derivation function (it says so, right in the name), not a data integrity verification function. You should only ever be feeding a password and high-entropy salt into it.

It's something of a disservice to call all these things "hash functions". It makes people think they're interchangeable, but that's very far from true.

[1] The reason I say using it as a MAC is even worse than using it for data integrity is that was never intended to work as a MAC. A KDF doesn't care (in theory) if the salt input can be derived by looking at its output. For the intended use case of a KDF, the salt is stored with the output anyway. So a cryptanalysis of a KDF wouldn't see the revelation of information about the key by the output as a theoretical flaw. But that would be a huge flaw in a MAC, where the output is often conveyed by an untrusted party between two parties who keep the key secret. From a practical standpoint, a KDF that did leak details of its key in its output is inefficient (redundant use of storage space), but it isn't sufficient by itself to break the security properties.
> more people are working to get into the top 1%

I don't think that's how the top 1% works
Yup - I was merely pointing out that there is not some massive tax arbitrage (pre-2017 and in the context of the data).

For example:
Let's say a firm has $5m in net income before paying CEO salary, and let's say that the market rate for such a position is $1m/year, and the firm is 100% owned by the CEO. Let's say the company is in a high tax state (NYC? SF?). Now let's take two scenarios, one where the owner operator pays herself $150k in salary and the other where she pays herself $1m in salary. If the non salary income is taxed at ~45% and the salary income ~50% then her effective tax rate is 45.2% vs 46.0% for a ~$43k tax savings ($2.257m vs $2.300m in tax liability). This tax benefit is definitely going to lead people to want to characterize less income as salary, but in the grand scheme of things is not some wholesale tax doge as was previously implied...

Perhaps if you were actually more experienced, you wouldn't stoop to the ultimate irony of dismissing every point I made by attacking my tone. I stand by what I said, people like you are redundant in modern tech. I think when you tell yourself you're more experienced than me, you're conflating that with you being older and 'wiser' and less confrontational because your testosterone levels have dropped. The tech industry assigns a negative value to age and wisdom, sorry.
Capitalism is sinister like this.

It doesn't intentionally do it, because capitalism isn't a person, but when everything is monetized by our creative entrepreneurs, it grows; our problems being no exception.

Once someone makes money, they want more of it. Capitalism demands more of it. And we stretch every line of the law, even cross it, just to get more from where that came from.

Unfortunately one person suppressing their unethical behavior is inconsequential. If an opportunity exists, eventually someone will use it.
It’s... fine? Honestly I’ve upgraded on day 1 on every OSX release since lion, the only complaint I really have about High Sierra is that it doesn’t really change anything. I can’t even name one thing off the top of my head that changed since Sierra, and I use almost every built-in app (Mail, iTunes, Calendar, Safari, Terminal.)

Safari has some new things (global and per-site reader view, disabling autoplay, privacy enhancements) but that doesn’t really count since it also works on Sierra.

I honestly don’t see what all the complaints are about, but I might just be lucky.
How expensive? Do you have a source? From the papers I've seen by this group, they claim extremely good economics.

Thomson Aero Seating in the UK proposed an angled seating arrangement for economy / coach back in the early 2000s; no airline adopted it but they went crazy for the business-class version. Jet Blue have a special variation for their narrowbody airliners.

One of the problems of angled seating is that it introduces additional lateral stresses on the body which have to be demonstrated during certification.
1) It's your money. You should be free to decide what to do with it.

2) If you can't decide what to do with your money, you have less incentive to work hard for it.

3) If your choice is either to spend your money frivolously or have it expropriated, you'll spend it frivolously.

4) Distorting savings and investment decisions is one of the most damaging forms of taxation. A tax on inherited wealth is a tax on savings.

5) It's very difficult to write down a theoretical utilitarian welfare model that suggests an estate tax is a good idea. (It's easy to write a model where inheritances are optimally subsidized.)
Because humans, and by extension, airline seats, are primarily vertical in nature. Whereas cars are primarily horizontal in nature. So the elongated side is extending in a different direction.

In a parking lot, the shape, combined with the mechanics of parking, means that it helps to angle things. Though, you do lose one parking spot or so in the process.

In a plane, the sides of the object (in this case the upright coffin sized space you fit into) are roughly the same, so angling will do little to help and is largely unneeded to "park" yourself. Ultimately though, airlines are unwilling to lose that one row if they did compensate for the morphing a reclined seat does for the shape of things.
That is a great start. I'm in a similar position to you and all of the job interviews I have come up against will require whiteboarding / coding tests.
