this reply was killed (probably for good reason) but i want to respond anyways:

there are no IDEs for visually impaired developers. at least i could not find any. all i found was workarounds and extensions. so that supposedly impossible to refute point is hereby refuted.

Note that his zpool is in "raidz" mode not "mirror" mode. The latter is going to be far better and faster at handling replacement of dead/dying drives because you can pretty much just remove the old one, plug the new one in and then update the zpool (in that order). It's also faster in normal use due to lack of performance issues related to calculating and storing of parity bits in raidz.
Yeah, you can stretch it to 2 or 2.50 in very nice places, but 14 is just fraud.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I've never visited Appalachia, and I'm afraid my views are filtered through popular media. But even if a TV show like "Justified" (I've seen the first 3 seasons) bends to narrative constraints, I felt it took its setting and the people living there seriously. I'm sure I'm missing a lot though.

Another piece of media that I felt was a strong statement about Appalachia is Ever South[1] by Drive-by Truckers.

in a company it is still possible to convert the code at the point when that employee joins.

for a FOSS project, the decision to join may well depend on the readability of the code, at which point it is already to late to solve the problem, because the potential developer already moved on.
I doubt that's the case. From what I understand the beta was barely used by people enrolled in into it and Spotify has killed more popular things before.
The original Mac version of Diablo also came with debug symbols, at the time I had written some sort of 'companion cheater map' thing that piggybacked onto the game for doing various nefarious things. It was called 'Dieblo' !

I also had to reverse engineer a whole lot of things, but at the time with Macsbug and a little bit of patience (and an OS with no memory protection whatsoever) it was pretty trivial work.
Two Years aren't exactly that much of an extension.

> academia has a strong hierarchical structure of power which necessarily leads to abuses of this power. We already solved this problem for politics long time ago by inventing democracy

And societies are now egalitarian without hierarchical power structures?
Definitely possible if standards are defined, but that is not the problem. The real one is that we now have a security industry that needs to apply tech to dangers that in reality don't really exist in the first place or are so minuscule that you need sales people to market these. The security hysteria of the last decade is laughable, if it didn't cost us that much...

China Is Forcing Tourists to Install Text-Stealing Malware at Its Border
> Is there another plausible reason for Spotify shutting down direct uploads that's unrelated to copyrights?

It's a service very few people use that costs them money to maintain and support. You already need to go through cdbaby and similar services for all other distributions and being just on spotify instead of all of them is not very appealing.
I mean, I'm not too upset that they're focusing on one DB engine, but their reasons are a bit facetious.

> There are lots of great use cases for MySQL, our specific needs just didn't seem to be a good fit. Our use of MySQL had a number of limitations. In most cases, it wasn't as simple as adding support to MySQL, but that by bending MySQL we typically broke PostgreSQL. To name a few limitations:

> We can't support nested groups with MySQL in a performant way

All they had to do was implement a nested set pattern for their groups [1]

> We have to use hacks to increase limits on columns and this can lead to MySQL refusing to store data

A hack? Their DB creation schema specified a TEXT column when it should have been a LONGTEXT column. Using LONGTEXT is not a hack, it's a choice when your data is more than 65535 characters, and they made the wrong choice out of ignorance.

> MySQL can't add TEXT type column without length specified

That's just incorrect. What they MEANT to say is that they had a column to store filenames that was a varchar(255) column and people were running out of space with long directory paths and filenames. They could have moved to a TEXT column, but didn't because they thought it couldn't be indexed without specifying a length... But they were wrong, you CAN index a TEXT column without specifying the TEXT column length, you just have to specify the length of the substring you want to index.

Alternatively, since this is filepaths and filenames, they could have used a nested set pattern again and gotten 255 characters for each component of the path and a lot more feature options for their search system!

> MySQL doesn't support partial indexes

This is true, but is it really a show stopper?

> As a side note – we don't use MySQL ourselves

I think this is the real reason. They just didn't have the necessary talent to implement the features correctly. Wrong schema specifications and not knowing to implement nested set patterns is a sign that they don't have a knowledgeable DBA on staff.

yeh, it's somewhat strange, then again, disks trying their best, and drivers trying their best, to serve, probably result in many silent retries that just appear as slight performance jitter.. It's not like the FS would know the first time a disk re-reads a sector, it might not even be relocated the first time it happens.. Maybe we need some mechanism for reporting "yeah, we got your bits but it wasn't as smooth sailing as usual" to filesystems such as zfs.
If you can have downtime: you could create a new pool, turn off writes to the old pool, snapshot the entire pool into the new pool using the built in snapshot & transfer mechanics, and then kill the old pool.

If you're ok with write performance degradation & doing multiple resilvers than what the op did is fine too.

The Lingering of Loss
Consider this...how much of the world’ resources are used by the various countries to export to the rest of the world.

China supplies most of the manufacturing muscle to the whole world including India. Also consider this...the foot print of India is much less because the resources are all used up. The older the country, the less natural renewables remains..

I am from India myself and I realize that their carbon foot print is certainly less than America even with what I said above..but 1+ billion people is simply not sustainable in a land which is water and power and resources availability is challenged.

The entire world should adopt the 1/2 surviving child/person quota that is non transferable so we can maintain diversity in the gene pool and across cultural/socio-economic/religious segments.

Population grows exponentially. That’s what the OP meant(I assume) with the comparison of human population to bacteria. The geometric progression will eventually explode within a constrained environment. And if resources aren’t available to continue, the die off will likely begin(I am not a microbiologist tho)..

Does it matter which country one is from...species extinction is species extinction. We can arrest the speed and/retard the progression and explosion and die off sequence with strict population control quota across the board.

Starting with 1/2 surviving child/person. We are all going to live longer or we can..but we can’t if we insist on living like it’s 1900.

Or I could use a hint to fix my query now and file a bug so it can be fixed at some unspecified point in the future so long as the developers agree I have a valid use case.

Sorry I have played that game before with SQL server back when it didn't have good hinting, having to fool the optimizer into getting a sane plan through trial and error and being at the mercy of waiting for a new release to fix the issue.

Yes PG is better being open source, but fundamentally having dealt with this for many years relying on the optimizer with no manual override when needed is highly counter productive. There are way too many edge cases for any optimizer. As a human I can easily see the proper order of operations and indexes to use if only I could just tell that to the system.

Most of the time you don't need to do this but its critical when you do and the system needs a way to do it.

> OpenGL is in maintenance state on all platforms basically.

The OpenGL 4.6 spec was released four months ago with new features and extensions come out all the time.

> Vulkan opens the whole low-level can of worms on you

Vulkan's API is unnecessarily ugly, it gives the impression of a low level API with all the structs and such but in reality the driver just picks up data from those structs to move around. In real low level APIs you use structs because they are memory mapped and/or aligned pretty much as the hardware expects it, but Vulkan is a hardware agnostic API.

And yeah, Metal is probably a better API but it is also only available on Mac which makes it a no-go for pretty much everyone outside the Apple bubble.

Personally i'll stick with OpenGL for the time being. I do not need much of the fancy stuff newer OpenGL versions have anyway (i don't do AAA-game level rendering) and i do not see OpenGL being dropped any time soon from any sane platform.

When it comes to Apple's stuff i'll decide between writing a small OpenGL wrapper myself for the functionality it use or just dropping the platform altogether when the time comes and they drop support for the API. Considering they still support Carbon (even if only for 32 bit programs), it might be a while until they drop OpenGL though.

You can take a look at https://bmbwf.gv.at/fileadmin/user_upload/gender/2019/EN_KV_... Women are still fairly underrepresented in the pipeline converting undergrads to phds->postdocs->profs, with numbers dropping most of the way. I am pretty okay with affirmative action happening till those numbers are closer to 50% and then slowly phasing them out.

As far as your cousin story goes, that exactly illustrates the problem. There is no reason a women could not have become a solar tech physicist. But the persistent misogyny that permeates academia, despite all these financial incentives from the top, stopped most women from taking that particular line. We need to fix the problem. You can argue that throwing money at women is perhaps not the best way, but then you have to present a method that works better at righting the wrongs in academia.
When the machine is busy -- and even when it's not, it's very uncertain thing to try sys-rq combinations.

Really wish Spotify did the Google Play Music thing of letting you upload a few thousand songs to fill in the gaps in their library.

From what I can tell, they sorta do - they let you add songs on your device, but I haven't been able to find them in my app sooo :|

Maybe try sincere, old fashioned religion. It works for many. I believe there is something to it. (And done properly, it leads to helping others.)
Women tend to suffer the hardest under a dysfunctional, abusive, bullying-infested work environment. They have to take abuse from narcissistic, harrassing men, and from women higher-up in the hierarchy, who are well known for bullying their female subordinates while mostly leaving males alone! They may have an easier time getting hired but that doesn't mean they have it easy all-around once they're onboard.
AFAIK Software patents aren't enforceable outside of the US+Japan though.
I don't think I will. Your homepage is a signup screen with only cursory information. You're clearly a commercial outfit, but there's no explanation of your business model. You need to establish why I should care about or trust you (and not one of the many competing options) before you ask for an email address. I have many technical questions about your service, but rather than try and winkle them out of you, I place the burden of proof on you to make me care.
What Runtime Bridging Is?
There's a bit more to it than that. Anarchism grew out of 19th century libertarian socialism.

The whole GDPR thing was known years in advance and even smaller outfits would have had enough time to make changes.

An additional anecdote: we experimentally tried a smaller German ad exchange (used by quite some big-name sites here). Profits went way up compared to AdSense. What also went way up was the amount of stupid, low effort clickbait-bullshit (which as a non-lawyer I sometimes questioned the legality off considering some told outright lies). We stopped using them shortly afterward.
I read an interview with the rector of the university on a reputable german news site (https://www.spiegel.de/lebenundlernen/uni/frauenquote-an-tu-...).

It absolutely is. All other things equal, a graduate program with 20% women phd students vs one with 40-60% women phd students will have a lot more misogyny. Forcefully raising the number of women in a program insures that there are enough of them that they can work together and speak up when harassment and discrimination happens.

You could also argue this: The part you stated before the "BUT" is a statement of fact. The part you stated after the "BUT" is complete speculation. I've never seen misogyny actually happen at any company I worked for, ever. Another piece of speculation: Women don't get those jobs because they DON'T WANT those jobs. So why throw these jobs at them, against their will? Why engage in some weird social engineering projects to make little girls want to build robots when, clearly, they don't?
> also nobody can dictate what apps others can install

That's one of the main reason why I don't use smartphones: I wouldn't be in control of my own device. With iOS, Apple is in control. With Android, apparently nobody is in control.

But on my Linux machines, I'm arguably in control. If I can find stuff somewhere, I can install it. And nobody else can, unless they root them. It happens, I know. But with LUKS FDE, even booting is arguably hard unless they could read the key from RAM.

So how come we got this smartphone crap, instead of actual portable computers that could, among other things, work as cellphones?

Is "thanks GDPR" the new "thanks Obama"? This spamming of anti GDPR related stuff, without any evidence support quotes or anything the like is absolute disastrous.

Yes it's possible that Spotifys decision was influenced by GDPR, it's also possible that the decision was only done because of it.

But since Spotify hasn't said so, blindly assuming that GDPR is at fault is incredible dishonest.
