i have been using btrfs in production for years now and it has never failed me, and i am doing hundreds of snapshots and send/receiving, i've reconfigured raids on the fly and went from 6 disk raid 10 of mixed size to raid 10 of same size. we have in some cases had many power failures with no data loss. We also have some set up using md raid and some using hardware raid...

when i hear people dogging btrfs it just speaks to their inexperience imo.

that said i know it's not perfect, but what is?

>"but you gotta get over that perception of sprawl to realize how great LA is for multi-modal transport"

multi-modal transport? You mean the bus? The bus in LA is a joke. Nobody wants to take the bus in LA - it takes way to long to get anywhere. The metro is notable in how little area it covesr. I think this map illustrates this well:

https://media.timeout.com/images/103334943/image.jpg

So what does that leave? Cars. You yourself even mentioned ""Lyft and renting a car." Owning a car, renting a car and calling a car are all car-centric modes of transport.

And LA doesn't have a perception of sprawl it is actually sprawl.

> Once your speech encroaches on enough profit, it will be brought down in no time by the same forces that prevent campaign finance caps.

It is fascinating that you do not recognize how contradictory your statement is. "Campaign finance caps" is the limitation of speech, so if "the forces" prevent it from happening, they are not shutting down any speech - they enable it. With that, I have never heard any of the organization opposing campaign finance caps ever shutting down any political speech. Can you name 2-3 cases?

I can name a case where a prominent politician, known for support of campaign finance limitations (and running an extremely well-financed campaign), tried to suppress clearly political speech against that politician, under the guise of campaign finance laws. You know this case as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC

I think I miss the customisation the most, whenever I look back on that time and forward to the gender-in-tech discussion I can never stop thinking about how almost all my female friends would spend hours adjusting, tinkering and just plain trying to out-do their friends in any way they could.I often wonder what would have occured if it was also a JavaScript sandbox..

At the time I was in my teens so alot of my music discovery came via the 'top friends' of bands or artists I already enjoyed - I would spend hours just browsing.

There's a plenty of occasions, causes and distractions to make your mind wander. To me personally the most prominent ones are when reading a book (which is also the most infuriating) and while riding some sort of public transport.

The latter one helps me to reduce head buzz which is generated by randomly reading HN posts or working on a demanding task.

Reading a book, where I actually need to concentrate on the book, some contents generate occasional mind branches. That means, I continue reading, but I think about something else triggered by what's in the book. Then I switch back to the book realizing "Wait, where was I? I have no idea why I'm reading this, and now I skipped a whole page."

When I make a long trip I also have a lot of time to think. So, my scope of thoughts grows and my mind wanders. Basically that's the mode which potentially might make me very happy or deeply unhappy. Because the scope expands from decisions made in the past to decisions to make in the future. And that's where it hurts most.

Can anyone relate?
The real question you have to ask is - What do you want to do in your life? There is no shame in saying - I want a well paid job which helps me sleep at night. There is nothing wrong with it. The whole idea of going out and building your own is romantic but it is not for everyone.

But, if your aim in life has been to build something of your own, then Go for it.

Talk to people closest to you - friends, families and colleagues. They are the best people to help you arrive at a decision.

Lastly, if you get stressed easily over thinking stuff then maybe take up meditation.

Power generators connected into a grid, pool their production and then consumers draw from that pool. A consumer can't claim "My electrons came only from "green" sources". Ones electrons came from the nearest sources. What a consumer can do, is pay a producer connected to the grid, to supply "green" energy matching the consumer's draw from the pool.

It's like balancing a checkbook. When you act as a producer, your windfarm puts 1MW into the pool. Logistically, you have to buy it back to claim you consume green power, otherwise you run on the grid's energy mix.

The energy prices are not completely tied to this investment. Most of it came from EU funding.

Most of the price is taxes of various kinds and monopolistic behaviour by EDP. After the privatization, but increasingly so after being sold to the Chinese state.

The market is only nominally free, and since REN who owns the network is ALSO owned by the Chinese state (who the hell thought that was a good idea? Oh, he is the Chairman of EDP now), that won't change.

Paris has already had a few experiments with dockless bikes, while the docked biked offered by the city are not available because of global replacement done by the lowest bidder.

Since the dockless bikes did not ask for permission of the city, they're now forbidden and the few I've seen were in a bad state.
This doesn't really surprise me, it's a natural consequence of the cloud era.

Mis-configured access control on file storage and sharing services has always been quite prevalent. From a users perspective, a lax ACL just means everything works :)

In "the olden days" of corporates behind firewalls, the issues were still there but they were hidden from casual view by NAT and perimeter firewalls.

Now people operate directly on cloud services their mistakes are easy to find.

Whilst perimeter firewalls were never the security panancea that some thought they were, they did have some use in hiding all the other security issues from casual discovery :)
The dockless bikeshares pulled out of most of the city where they tried to deploy in France.
Your listing LA as a non car-centric city? You must be joking. LA is the absolute antithesis of a non-car centric city. Maybe you missed this?

And maybe you haven't been to NYC in a while because although there is lots of mass mass transit, that does not make it non car-centric. It most certainly has a car traffic problem. Just because you don't have to own a car does not make a city non-car centric.

If you look at the inrix score care you will LA is number 1 for traffic and NYC is number 3.

Experian is one the largest marketing email provider in Europe and next to no one, even in the marketing space, has heard about the extent of the breach they suffered on their credit rating operations in the US (arguably more sensitive than a mere list of emails: if they fail on credit rating god knows what their marketing operation looks like...).

The only one big difference between Europe & the rest of the world is the GDPR but, again, only professional have heard about it. Many companies are finally addressing their shortcomings thanks to the impeding doom they perceive the GDPR to be.
Why my free hosting account suspended?
Byterun confuses host and interpreter in plenty of places.

It uses the host Python for attribute resolution (all code in getters and setters runs on the host), exception handling (which combines with the previous point to make some NameErrors impossible to catch) and even function calls (but all functions are wrapped so that their _call__ switches back to byterun as the interpreter).

Because of that confusion, byterun isn't very useful if you want to be really independent from the host interpreter; it's just too easy to escape from the VM. As a learning exercise however, it is helpful for understanding Python's innards at a level higher than C.

The focus on autonomous buses is fantastic. This is a way of developing the AI without being a direct threat to taxi and bus drivers.

In the UK there are many places where it's not practical to run a bus service but at the same time it would be extremely useful to have one. The buses don't need to be huge just regular.

Buses in rural areas also tend to stop much earlier so if you go out drinking it's either designated driver, expensive taxi or as I'm sure many do just drink a bit less and take the risk of not getting caught.

I think bus and taxi drivers are the last people we should be replacing as they are professional drivers who are the safest. But if we can extend bus routes whilst keeping bus drivers on the busiest then it makes sense.
> the way of Paris, whose people rose up against the bike share companies and got them to pull out through sheer vandalism.

I think you're confusing the cause for the vandalism, it is much more "casual", the bikes are vandalised because they are there and the companies stupidly provided fragile bikes. Also the opposition from the city council did not help.
> I don't know why turning off CoW on BTRFS disables checksumming

Because in-place updates means you need to journal data writes, otherwise you'll get checksum errors for aborted writes. (Which classic file systems don't catch)

The recent (~5 years old) batch of block-deduplicating backup tools (attic, bup, borg, restic etc.) would fit the bill to some extent, but all of them were/are more bug-laden than the file systems discussed so far.

The Bay Area has been increasing in value since the 70's.

1. Your bosses want to live in the better parts of San Francisco, Marin County, and certain parts if the east bay. Why--because they want only the best, and there's usually a rich daddy helping Jr. out in business, and housing.

The workers will follow.

2. It has nothing to do with Prop 13.

3. The Bay Area is a nice place to live if you are wealthy.

4. The beach 45 miniutes away. Mountains are 45 minutes away. A city hootenanny is 45 minutes away.

The wealthy/celebrities can go anywhere, and no one cares.

It's land locked--yes. People don't want building--yes. Schools are safe.

Why wouldn't property values go up? Buying real-estate in the Bay Area is as close of a sure thing as anything I betted on. It's no wonder Chinese buy our homes off the Internet.

Federal Direct Student Loans, available to undergraduate students at a relatively low fixed rate (but still higher than say, a decent mortgage on a house), only allow a student to take out about $6000/year.

But as college tuition skyrockets (mine is $70k/year, and increasing, and I have a brother at an equivalently priced institution too!), that wont cut it. The rest must either come from personal/family finances, be taken out from the federal government in solely the parent’s name (Federal Direct Plus Parent Loan, with a higher interest rate than direct student loans) or, if that’s not an option, a private lender (usually with an even higher rate).

With circumstances like they are and pitiful stopgaps like these, it’s no wonder my parents waited so long to have children so that they could afford to send them to school. Unfortunately, that’s not an option for most families. The student loan crisis in America really is terrifying.

So for me the really big question in all of this is "Are threads really too heavyweight?". This obviously needs the constraint "on a sane, modern OS".

For me the most sane C (non-datagram) networking model at least on Linux is threads, each calling accept concurrently (afaik few people know this is supported) and then handling the accepted connection until that is closed. For systems where you only want to handle a fixed number of connections like databases you keep your number of threads fixed for others you start a new thread once every other thread handles a connection already. It gets rid of Thread Pools (since you only do pthread_create() when your number of concurrent connections increases), Async- and callback-hell and makes all your handling code linear.

Every other day I keep seeing "Blabla uses async epoll so handles 10k connections" but a) what serious work can you do with 10k connections i.e. 125 kB/s per connection @ 10 Gbit/s. b) at what cost to readability/maintainability of code and c) are you sure you haven't just moved your bottleneck to something else? Also I've never seen any benchmark showing how this actually beats threads on a modern Linux box.

As for shitty OSs I say fuck them

If it would hit you straight away, light the cigarette BOOM dead, eat the cupcake BOOM gained 40 pounds, install the app BOOM 10K gone from you bankaccount, people would understand the trade-off.

"Sorta a pain"? Are you shitting me? I have to make 400k/yr to buy a house here. The area is beyond approachable. Just because your parents paid their utility bill for 30 years doesn't mean they should be entitled to paying 15% of the tax rate of a new home owner.
