I understand. what I'm saying is, nine times out of ten, the audio files themselves are already going to be in a lossy format. it's not really practical to have lossless content on your phone or stream it over a mobile connection. the lossy-to-lossy transcode is going to sound bad enough that most people would notice in a double blind test. this isn't some mp3 v0 vs flac audiophile nonsense; lossy-to-lossy transcodes sound noticeably bad.

from your other comment, I see that you are using a pretty good DAC in your car. kudos to you, sir.
So what would be a viable ZFS alternative on a Linux based NAS I'm planning to build in a few months?
I'm currently running Nas4Free on a giant rack sized thing I built using a Mini-ITX Atom board years ago, and ZFS works like a charm, but I also intend to move some day to the ARM architecture which unfortunately the *BSD based NAS software doesnt support (yet).
I'm tempted by this smaller hardware in particular: https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/intro/
So far the only viable option would be Openmediavault which supports ZFS only through external modules which I'd be not entirely comfortable with. I'd only arrange disks as RAID1 pairs however.
Everyone is human. Dehumanizing all work interactions sounds pretty depressing.

I think the real problem is considering conversations in jest as evidence. We should all use key base for gossip but not all of us are technical.

If we were then keybase would be included in regulation.

This isn't actually a tech problem. It is a business process problem. Likely don't even need to replace much SIM related tech (encryption, authentication) to do so. Most of it is better procedures and protection from social engineering and fraud.

Faulty procedures and just plain bad basic security practices. The bar is so low that if you wrote up and suggested the current system as a plan for some homework assignment you'd likely fail. Probably get told to rework it and you might scrape by with a pass.

So there are two aspects: 1) Basic confirmation steps are seen as weakly performed. 2) Obvious steps are left out. The fact that its a revelation for them for the need to notify banks that a sim swap occurred is just one example. Really? No one thought that banks would be interested at all? Just how inexperienced are the people designing these processes? And the swap itself. Please tell me that mother's maiden[0] name is not used or that they don't put a lot of faith in using a birthdate as a secret. Details you might find on Facebook/Google etc should only be used to confirm which Fred Smith's account is being modified. Not whether it is Fred authorising the change.

This is a great way to see into the underlying technical debt that likely exists elsewhere in their systems. If they are this sloppy here then other aspects are likely just as bad.

I have an idea that the "espresso" algorithm could be used to minimize not only electronic circuits but general boolean expressions for any programming language... I think it would do for a useful refactoring tool.

Anyone who's seen clips of an NFL or NBA game on a VR headset knows that this is the future. Unfortunately we are not there yet and development seems to have really cooled down recently. In fact we might have another VR winter on hand until someone makes a new breakthrough and re-awakens all the hype and interest. But I don't think it's too far-fetched to say that sometime within my lifetime VR could easily become the main delivery medium of entertainment, replacing TV sets, movie screens and gaming consoles for most households

I never went to see Kowloon in real life but I have the fondest memories of it through the detailed renditions and special atmosphere of Shenmue II on the Sega Dreamcast.

The story takes place in 1986; you play a young Japanese man in search for the killer of his father. The whole Hong Kong experience especially, still feels very much like (time) travel.

The game is also available on steam (and on console marketplaces AFAIK):

Maybe your parents didn’t teach you empathy when you were growing up, as is so prevalent these days. There are millions of retired people on fixed incomes who bought their homes when they were normally priced. For example, my grandparents bought a house in Los Gatos for $30k in 1969 and now it’s priced at $1.4M. Is that their fault? Why should elderly people, who cannot take the stress of being uprooted and moving, be forced to sell their homes and lose their balance sheet savings in the process? If anything, discounts on capital gains and property taxes should be based on both income and balance sheet apart from real estate ownership. What if that were you?
Correct, net after all expenses. My goal is always to have 100-200 free at a minimum but in the end the rental cashflow isn't to build monthly income (in my case), but instead to build equity in the property.

There was a period of time I did it for monthly cash flow, and when I did that I'd target different types of properties and target a different minimum free cash flow. But I switched my investment strategy to be one to maximize equity and property value, I've found this to be far more profitable in the medium to long term, but obviously doesn't provide the highest monthly income initially.

I think you're moving the goalposts. Gandi didn't lose all their servers and all the networking hardware and all the storage. They lost what sounds like a single replicated volume. If, y'know, all of their datacenters burned down at once, or an attacker got access and deleted their PaaS account, I think we'd all be a lot more sympathetic
I'll try again in another way and if this doesn't work I may need to come back to trying to communicate what I mean.

When you encounter an XY problem question/statement only stating "this doesn't make any sense. Computers are very complicated and don't work like that in the first place" is useless to everyone except maybe a comment or that wants to boost their ego. Taking the XY question, explaining why it's wrong, and trying to explain how things actually work at a deeper level is helpful. I think your comment about them being field interactions and needing to think about them that way is a good start on that kind of answer rather than the ones above.
Lark vs. Google Suite comparison: which is the best for collaboration?
Yes, but the specifics are important. It's different for different people. Perverted justice system, news hysteria, jobs that are either awful or great, bad medical system, seems like every institution trying to rob you, war culture, political corruption from all sides, corporate dominance, civil forfeiture, bad public schools, expensive college, government encroachment on basic liberties, mob mentality laws, decades of the above; that's just off the top of my head. It's amazing we aren't worse off.
It might be an issue of implementation then, specifically with density. I had a good example of this.

About a year ago ebikes were around in Beijing but not many of them. While I enjoyed riding them (beats traffic here over low single digit KM range and faster than a bike) it was frustrating to have to hunt for them. So while I opportunistically used them when convenient it wasn’t frequent.

Fast forward to now, there are enough of them around that I can pretty much always find one on the current block. Now I use them as my primary mode of transportation ever short distances.
Money can't buy happiness, but it prevents one of the worst things in the world for people/families - financial stress. I bet financial stress is one of the major causes of divorce/destruction of families, child underdevelopment ( mentally/physically ), crime, suicide, etc.

Can't be happy when you can't afford medicine for yourself and your kids, can't pay for food, can't pay the rent/mortgage, etc.

Money can't buy happiness, but lack of money causes a lot of unhappiness.

I have to say it is unlikely there will be sanctioned euthanasia for age related decline or dementia. The practicalities of implementing such a system are probably prohibitive, the primary problem being ending the life of someone without the capacity to tell you that is what they want. This is in some ways insurmountable, because although your 50 year old fit and happy self would definitely want to be euthanised if they had severe dementia, how do we 'know' that this same person who now has severe dementia also wants to die?

It is similarly unlikely there will be a test which can predict imminent dementia well enough that you would be happy to euthanise yourself while you still have decision making capacity.

As others have said, what you can do is have some legal document which explains your wishes if you lose capacity to make decisions, where you specify the avoidance of life prolonging therapies, intensive care, resuscitation etc. The other thing which is important is having someone that will take over medical decision making whom you trust will act according to your wishes, in the event you lose decision making capacity. Another aspect of this is making sure friends and family are aware of your wishes. This is a kindness to them as much as anything, so that when the time comes to withhold or withdraw medical treatment, they don't have to ruminate on whether it is the right thing to do.
Well, if something is libre it's hard for it not to also be gratis, because someone can just take your code and run it elsewhere. So there's understandable skepticism when something is libre but not gratis, because the suspicion is that the creator will retract the libre-ness of their code.

I see the trend you're talking about, but I also see an inverse trend: people think that if software isn't funded it won't happen. Particularly on Hacker News: there's a segment of Hacker News who either can't comprehend or refuse to acknowledge that there might exist motivations besides money. I'm not accusing you of this, at least not to that extreme, but I'm saying that some people have that attitude, and it's certainly informing what you're saying to some extent.

My perspective as someone who has written some open source software, is that I did it for fun, to solve my own problems, or out of some idealistic drive to push humanity forward. Money was a foregone conclusion, but I wrote the software anyway. I might feel differently if I had written anything significant enough that it had a wide user base of profitable companies, but it's my impression that people don't write software and make it free because they want money.

I'm not saying we shouldn't support our free software contributors. We should, it's a nice thing to do. All I'm saying is that fear about the incentive structure of open source software isn't really warranted. Free (libre) and free (gratis) software will continue to be built regardless of whether they are ever funded, by people who are well-aware that they may never receive any money for it.
That’s not what I said. There’s an incentive for them to find Apple vulnerabilities.

If you're using a service hosted by someone else, then it doesn't matter if it's open source; you're using someone else's closed environment. In that case you're just as well off using Google or Microsoft. Probably better off, since they aren't aren't hosting on a shoestring budget.

The point to having it open is so that you can host it yourself and modify it yourself.

Tangent; a small detail of your extension: I really like that tree widget you used, it traces the path from the root of the tree to the selected leaf.

I wish all tree widgets looked like that. For instance, the VS Code file tree is awful: I always need to look thrice in order to double check which folder a file belongs to, specially when there are a ton of folders.
Interesting combination of tools I have used independently but never as a replacement of my beloved ZFS.

Never made snapshots with LVM. Always used LVM as a way to carve up logical storage from a pool of physical devices but nothing more. I need to RTFM on how snapshotting would work there - could I restore just a few files from an hour ago while letting everything else be as they are?

With ZFS, I use RAM as read chace(ARC) and an Optane disk as sync write cache(SLOG). I wonder if LVM cache would let me do such a thing. Again, a pointer for more manual reading for me.

Compression is a nice to have for me at this moment. Good to know that it is being worked on at the LVM layer.

ZFS, on Solaris, not robust?

ZFS for “play”?!

This... is just plain uninformed.

Not just me and my employer, but many (many) others rely on ZFS for critical production storage, and have done so for many years.

It’s actually very robust on Linux as well - considering the fact that freeBSD have started to use the ZoL code base is quite telling.

Would freeBSD also be in the “play” and “not robust” category as well, hanging out together with Solaris?

Will it perform better than all in terms of writes/s? Most likely not - although by staying away from de-dup, enough RAM and adhere the pretty much general recommendation to use mirror vdevs only in your pools, it can be competitive.

Something solid with data integrity guarantees? You can’t beat ZFS, imo.

It started a good deal before 1994.

This article misses out on the conspiracy theory that Hasan B. Mutlu was Argic, and was succeeded by Ahmet Cosar, a Univ of Minnesota (grad?) student. The Argic nom de guerre was succeeded by a couple of other fake Turkish accounts for a month or two. There was a good deal of speculation that "Argic" had a pink contract with Uunet.

Strangely, when Cosar lost his student visa and had to leave UM, Argic and his "friends" disappeared. Wonder why that was?

Money. Anecdotally that's the primary reason Oracle do anything.

It's built on top of a simple application framework I wrote largely in order to build Lucidity on top of: https://github.com/westoncb/Domain-slash-Converter

I should have written it in a more prototype-y way, but I naively built it on something like a custom engine from scratch in opengl :/ (I figured my rendering requirements were specialized enough I should roll my own: after all its just boxes + quads + text)

There's also source available for doing the 'monitoring' side of things in javascript: https://github.com/westoncb/JS-Watcher (though I've been informed since that I might be better off using an existing lib—Immer, I think—rather than writing the stuff to monitor property changes myself.)
