My experiences have been as such:

With the exception of accidentally enabling deduplication on a 16 TB array on a system with 8 GB of RAM, ZFS has been fantastic. Everything works, and works much as you'd expect. The tools and concepts are clear and concise and it's obvious that a lot of work was put into everything from the design to the documentation.

btrfs, on the other hand, has been a nightmare. I set it up on a new desktop machine earlier this week, and I've spent most of this afternoon trying to recover data from it. Due to a power outage, the filesystem is corrupted. I didn't know that right away because I enabled zstd compression in the filesystem but GRUB couldn't boot/read zstd files/filesystems, etc.

A lot of btrfs is counterintuitive, or downright worrying. Most of the threads I've seen regarding filesystem errors end with "I reinstalled and everything is fine". The documentation suggests not trying to `btrfs check --repair`, because apparently that's the wrong way to do things? You should try to mount with the 'recovery' mount flag instead, which is not intuitive.

In my case, the kernel is throwing an error about the checksum map, but it can't rebuild it or repair the filesystem. In a rescue image it errors because it tries to call pthread_cancel but can't load libgcc for whatever reason, so I can't rescue my system from a rescue system.

Even when it did work it was confusing. Unlike ZFS, btrfs subvolumes seem... counterintuitive? On ZFS I can take a recursive snapshot of a volume or subvolume and any subvolumes it has, which allows me to divide a subtree up into multiple subvolumes but still treat it the same (e.g. if I want multiple entries in /var/lib/mysql/<mysql_instance> or something similar). On btrfs, you cannot do recursive snapshots, and I've even seen some people describe this as one of the (few) reasons you'd use subvolumes: to exclude something from snapshots.

After ten years, it feels as though btrfs is 90% done; that is to say, it has 90% of the functionality it should, that those features are 90% done, and that what is done works about 90% of the time.

Honestly, with the state that btrfs is in, I don't understand why it's in the kernel at all, and why distros support it (but I do understand why RHEL pulled it). Working with it directly makes me worry for the data I have stored on my synology, and now I'm wondering if I should have just built a FreeNAS box instead.

TL;DR btrfs is a giant mess and you shouldn't use it. ZFS has more up-front overhead (getting the package versions configured for Ubuntu) and is more difficult to go all-in on (e.g. ZFS root) but at least you won't lose your data out of nowhere.
I've found that women often appreciate and find men who are authentic, emotions included, attractive. You can always overshare and if you express emotions in a way where you put the burden on the other person, I don't think anybody really enjoys that
Can you clarify, because while you've said gaslighting HN users is, "an egregious violation of the guidelines and a bannable offense on HN" [1], you're also saying the _questioning_ of gaslighting is allowed? Given the nature of gaslighting, those things seem one in the same, do they not?

That's not true, it some BS cultural narrative with a couple data points that allows people to other that which they fear to be a part of. It's the tech equivalent to artist are tortured geniuses.

More importantly, I would much rather have no power "geeks" pushing toxic sex/race/gender politics out of fear and awkwardness then the structural crap being pushed on mass by big tech companies with huge gold parachutes for bad actors.

I grew up loving the ideas of RMS, but for every RMS behaving "nerd", there were 4 Ivan Sutherland, Grace Hooper, Alan Kay, Ajay Bhatt.
Those sure are some small California residents.

> It says the executive is supposed to have a meeting a ratify the one decision. But right before that it says that the two people disagree.

Yes. If the two people agreed, there would be no decision to make; everyone would just do what they already agree is the right thing to do.

When the two people disagree, the purpose of the meeting is for them to come to agreement on what to do before the meeting, and then explain to the executive at the meeting why the thing they agreed to do is the right thing to do. That means they have to figure out something they can agree on.

> Is the idea that they are forced to either compromise or cancel all of their plans?

The idea is that each of them wants to do something, but the two things are different, and neither of them can do anything until they've agreed on a decision and gotten the executive to ratify it. If neither of them wanted to do anything not already agreed to, then, again, there would be no decision to make.

> It seems like a common outcome might be for them to pretend to agree and then go back to their own section and just do what they want.

And then they get fired because the executive is their boss and knows what they said they would do, and it's their job to do it.

> I feel like there needs to be some kind of verification to ensure that different perspectives are actually being integrated rather than people just talking past each other.

That's what the meeting is for. If they can't convince the executive that they've done this, they have to go back and try again.

> Sometimes an executive needs to integrate different perspectives and choose a direction that neither party could see.

I don't see why this couldn't be suggested at the meeting--and of course this would result in a "go back and try again" outcome, but this time with extra input from the executive on what they might want to try.
Sort of related with gcc's nested function extension, you can reference variables that in scope when the function is defined. If you pass a pointer to the nested function is can access those variables (via a trampoline on the stack).

To me that's been very useful to have both to get around not being able to use malloc.

Meaning I think it's a good idea actually.
Not in all cases, and at top levels, of top companies. While I agree some golden parachutes are extensive, one person cannot be expected to see and perfectly manage every severe situation; executive pay can help focus on strategies, but one operates in a fluid market, fluid economics, and fluid landscape.

UBI, by itself, doesn't even eliminate poverty: consider the simple case of where the payments on your debts equal your UBI. You are now exactly as badly off as someone with no debts and no income.

The same is true for people who have medical needs in excess of that covered by UBI, but no (or insufficient) health insurance.
Yeah, the SNES would pretty much turn into a (crappy) AV hub.
I haven't once bought legal weed here in Canada because they aren't legally allowed to sell CO2 filtered vape cartridges.

Fortunately there's plenty of 'grey market' weed shops online and in the city to find vape product refills.

After using them I'm never going back to 'smoking' weed. It's seems so much dirtier and smellier that way, while the vape oil feels clean, filtered of everything but the useful THC part, and far more discrete when walking around with friends.

But the grey nature still makes it a concern. I hope the Canadian gov starts adopting vape pens as part of the legal code. But given the FUD against it I'm not holding my breath - which sadly should be the reason they do regulate it, not ignore it.
Please disclaim when you are linking material that has a religious bent. Both of these books appear to be based upon the Christian belief system and as such might not be of any interest to someone with a different (or nonexistent) belief system.
You can get something like your last example in c#:

```c#
var source = new FileSystemFile("source");
source.CopyTo("target");
```

Of course, this isn't the only way to do it; you get the usual footguns as described in the article too.

Also apologies if the formatting is crappy - on mobile, and TBH not sure what markdown-like syntax HN supports, despite being a long-time user!
I believe UBI to drastically change the style of responses to these questions.

In some parts of the EU, there are tourist taxes that are excluded from the quoted price. They have taken me by surprise when I paid in advance and had to make a payment just for the tourist tax.
It's no secret that content moderators moderate content. Most of the stuff on HN is shaped by a few people who gets to decide what's interesting enough to get a boost or not.

It definitely feels like gaslighting when you notice it happening. For example a few times I know I made a comment on an old article the day before but it didn't get traction. But then it would be on the frontpage again the next day with all the timestamps manipulated to seem fresher, including on my own comments! I know I was sleeping at that time so then I start questioning my sanity and whether I was sleepwalking or not!
Don't rent a car here in (northern) Europe, if you can avoid it.

Renting a car in the US is painless and pretty risk-free.

Renting a car in Europe is different. I've read multiple accounts of local aquantancies here arguing with car rental firms about minor scratches that US rental firms just wouldn't care about.

When I return a rented car in the US the overworked guy I return the car to seems to be happy as long as the car is at least mostly intact.

In Europe meanwhile, you should worry about the rental company looking for minute scratches and then charging absurd amounts for these.

I don't rent cars in Europe. (Not sure if this is a Scandinavian, Northern European or European thing.)
I've read the article. I commented after reading the article. I asked questions because I was curious how others would answer them. Because I had not reached conclusions to them myself.
Why not? It's completely allowed.

Clarifying the Virtues and Limits of Nationalism
> This is entirely speculative, handwavy and would take fantastic levels of technology, but it does not seem information-theoretically impossible unless you assume that there is something immaterial, at which point things just turn into religion.

My position on this is that there are natural phenomena which cannot be fully described mathematically. There's nothing supernatural about such things. They are just physical things, like all other physical things, but which defy mathematical analysis.

If you don't believe what I just said, then it seems that you are forced to believe Max Tegmark's theory that there is nothing to physical existence other than mathematical existence. Is that really a theory that you buy into.

It's certainly an interesting theory, but I'd be willing to wager that most scientists would not be willing to sign on.
Ignorant comment from someone who's clearly never travelled anywhere. It's actually the exception to be able to drink tap water around the world, not the rule.
This is kind of standard faire though. I did a `zpool upgrade` on my root pool once and broke GRUB's ability to boot my system, since there were features enabled that it didn't understand (wouldn't have hurt anything to ignore, but GRUB wants to play it safe obviously).
This sounds a lot like the control-theory problem of balancing the proportional, integral, and derivative coefficients of a PID controller [1]?

I'm curious how you reached this condition as a requirement:

> The moral of the story here is make sure you pick a metric that reacts to the change in request rate as quickly as your request rate changes!

It makes sense intuitively, but I'm having trouble proving to myself that this is necessary+sufficient.

I don’t think HN should ban basically any domain that can make it to the front page without being flagged.

Considering how many stories CNN, ABC and MSNBC have gotten wrong (and retracted the next morning), I'm not sure they're any better. At least Fox's bias is obvious. They also tend to have a more diverse guest list in terms of political leaning.

BTW, I really don't watch much Fox news, I tend to read about things a few days after they have happened. When I stay active on twitter, it's all a cesspool of lies, and I am pretty sure the news media is part of it.

"Fall" of Clojure? Clojure is still growing and not showing any signs of stopping anytime soon. Conferences popping up all around the world. Almost every European country has its own Clojure conference, some have multiple.

Clojure today has more conferences, meetups, podcasts, jobs and books than any of those "non-mainstream" PLs like OCaml/ReasonML, Haskell, Elm, Elixir, Erlang, Julia, F#, Swift. Soon number of Clojure conferences will exceed number of Scala-related confs.

Clojure community is still innovating. Mind that the steward company has probably less than 100 engineers in total and the community has less active members than the number of engineers working for Google, yet they are constantly doing pretty cool things. They are figuring out interop with Python and R from Clojure, they are constantly improving Clojurescript performance, they're experimenting with type systems, improving Editor/IDE support, doing machine learning stuff, serverless, graphql, smart-contracts, distributed systems, etc. etc.

People don't see it, because they are too busy shoveling shit from one corner of the ecosystem to another in Python, Typescript, Java, Ruby, Golang etc. stacks. But Clojurists are quietly building things and solving real problems.

I am also removing the remote ip address from a socket. Hence, if you change your ip, you can just send from your new ip, include the same connection uuid, and I will still receive. You'd also need to know how to send data back. This could be done in many ways.

Biggest thing is to deal with really easy hijacks where you tell a server that your victim 's data should instead be sent to you. This is harder with the current TCP.
Sickle cell anemia is Mendelian and recessive. So if 2 carriers (Rr and Rr) have kids, 50% of the children will be strictly superior (carriers), 25% will be normal, and 25% will die young. Not a bad outcome, especially if you have a lot of kids to reduce the variance.
An unusual chart to convey simple information, and requires explanation, is a poor way to visualize your data. Only make a unique visualization if necessary to convey unique data. So, as you said, here just stick with the bar chart!
I'd extrapolate the line: twins -> singletons -> immigrants.

Not only they don't have their emotional pair support, they also lost all their friends.

But, of course, there's a huge filter. People who wouldn't be able to stand that don't become immigrants in the first place.
Authentication includes both username and password. In a bank I used to work my username was a random 10 digit number. Very annoying to type all the time. The good thing is, if you want to use my account, good luck guessing both my username and my password.

Does that make sense? I do not imply that password should not be complex etc. I am merely pointing out the benefits of having a difficult to guess username.
Not that it likely matters now, but the brother sounds like a high-functioning schizophrenic - super-bright kid morphing into an increasingly erratic and alienated adult. Especially without any hallucinations, it's tough to diagnose and looks like a mix of depression, mania, OCD, etc. There's the flight-of-ideas component that frequently allows for great creativity, but frustration as the world can't keep up with their changing visions and priorities. They also tend to be narrative-builders - nothing just happens, everything has a cause, often malignant, byzantine, and vast. Because they always feel 'on' and 'deliberate' everything else must be functioning that way too, so everything is a personal attack. They increasingly can't work with others and try to work as brilliant loners or establish themselves as the visionary leader.
He was describing an action he took as the Vice President while in a foreign country. That really doesn't establish his role in setting the policy, as one purpose of the trip would be to deliver the message.

There can certainly be evidence that he argued strongly for the policy, that he delivered the message says very little.

Caveat I should mention. Not all execs are like this, but most are, and this is all that is, in the end, required from the exec.

A contrarian example is Steve Jobs. A man who dipped his fingers into every aspect of the company.
The experiment may be repeatable, but that does not mean it's reproducible or even useful. Many of these "soft science" fields are plagued by

1) replication failures

2) scientific errors both accidental (coding errors) and intentional (p-hacking)

I think part of it has to be physics envy, where many disciplines are attempting to adopt either the statistical techniques used by physicists or at least similar language and ideology in order to conduct "experiments" in fields as varied as sociology and psychology.

This seems like cargo cult science. Who says that, say, measuring the tendency of churchgoers to donate to a cause will reveal a truth similar to the mass of an electron -- something that can be accurately measured once and then you know a good measurement will return the same result? It's not at all clear that any real insight is gained of either philanthropy or church attendance from such an "experiment", nor is it clear to me that these fields contain statements with truth values at all, at least truth values as would be expected by mathematicians, physicists, chemists, etc.

But by adopting the methodology of science to fields which may not have yield scientific results to yield, a lot of people are creating a body of fake knowledge, or the appearance of knowledge.
You are correct. I should have added "in Canada".
I'm in New York and I don't like tap water at all (a lot of people do though). I used to drink bottled water only, but it was not convenient as I could easily forget to order a new pack, so I switched to Brita filter + tap water. So far so good. I don't believe a $40 filter does a tremendous amount of filtering, but it seems to be OK ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

More amazing (to me) was that a doctor actually solved this problem effectively. A few times that I went to doctors with minor problems in the last decade, they usually had no clue what's wrong (they even admitted it), but prescribed antibiotics.
As a man, I agree sharing emotions is important. Too many males in society don't have someone to cry with or listen to their problems.

On the other hand, I do worry about "emotional masturbation". Simply put, sometimes we indulge ourselves in sadness/fear/anger because it makes us feel something and feeling something is better/more exhilarating/exciting than feeling nothing at all.

For example, I have some insecurities. Sometimes I feel like talking about them may be pro-actively bad because I am indulging myself and making my insecurities occupy more mental space/brain power.
> But what can we do? Sexuality is an innate, unchanging aspect of what it means to be man and woman, and it isn't going to be removed from our genes anytime soon.

Not entirely. Not every woman is attracted to the strong silent type, and not every culture has always favored that form of masculinity. Historically, the amount of emotion and intellect a man was permitted to display has depended more on social status and class than genetics. "Gentlemen" and "men of breeding" used to write poetry and sonnets and kiss one another on the mouth and women would still swoon over them. Letters written by soldiers to their wives during wartime often display a great deal of tender emotion and passion.

Also, not every man is primarily attracted to looks. While it probably is true that men are more focused on that than women, it's certainly the case for women as well, and often for men it's a sign of immaturity, but men do mature.

What can we do? First, accept that we're not mere automatons running sexual algorithms - sexuality is far more subtle and variant than the stereotype of "men like strippers, women like cowboys." I don't know at what point some men seem to have decided that "masculinity" is entirely biological and immutable and that they are doomed to be slaves to their primate urges, but it simply isn't true. Almost everything about the human condition is fluid, and masculinity like femininity and gender is at least in part a social construct and internalized complex, both of which can be changed.

You're supporting my point here, all your examples did not make an accurate prediction. Thus, they are not known 'facts'.

Your definition of 'science' is 'the best we know', mine, and I think what is meaningful for public discourse is 'this is true'.
But a connection (TCP) and a reachable/routable entity are not the same thing.

According to the article, the evolutionary choice at work here was isolation-induced. It was each blue family member choosing to reproduce with another blue individual that propagated the recessive gene.
