Not sure where that belief comes from. But it might be that many benchmarks are naive and compare it against other filesystems in single-disc setups with zero tuning. Since its metadata overheads are higher, it's definitely slower in this scenario. However, put a pool onto an array of discs and tune it a little, and the performance scales up and up leaving all Linux-native filesystems, and LVM/dm/mdraid, well behind. It's a shame that Linux has nothing compelling to do better than this.

>> "and the effect would be stopping anybody new from becoming rich."

I read this as you thinking there's a problem with no more people getting rich. Can you expand on that?

For example: how many people need to get rich to balance the economic, social, and political power of the people who already are? Is this the best way to achieve that balance?
Bcachefs is probably the only thing that will get there. The codebase is clean and we'll mantained, built from solid technology (bcache) and will include most of the

A max wage is insane government overreach. If I want to make a deal with someone else where I’ll work to do something and in return they pay me a portion of the surplus value I create, there is no justification, moral or economic, to cap that amount.

Moreover, price ceilings have a rich and long empirical and theoretical argument against their existence in the economics literature https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_ceiling

AWS takes care for most of them. All teams generally use cfn / terraform / to define that kind of infra (e.g. I need a DB with these properties) and they get applied as part of the standard deployment pipelines. We constributed support for cfn in Spinnaker to enable this.

A team in a different area to mine does offer Kafka as a service, but this pattern is an exception, and the org is actively moving away from it in most other cases. For example, a while back a team took care of offering "Cassandra's as a service", managed and operated for N product teams. They don't anymore, for reasons I explained in the article:
- AWS catches up (e.g. they recently announced Cass as a service)
- $commercial company has a Good Enough alternative (e.g. several teams are dropping Cass in favour of Dynamo)
- It's operationally very expensive to maintain a team that does $storage as a service.
- The cost/benefit ratio for doing our own managed storage only adds up when the managed solution is too immature, or lacks too many features that you need. The team offering managed Cassandras actually did this and moved to offering a managed Kafka clusters ~1y earlier than AWS released the first version.

Does that make sense?
Are you claiming that a $1/hour increase in your wage makes you less likely to be on an SSRI? I'm not sure I follow your logic here...
As @dwild stated, that's the other type of snapshots used for web hosting (which I assume are copy-based backups due to how little storage sites usually use). These snapshots are never reachable directly to the customer; at best, they can restore a volume back to the snapshot's state or create a new volume at that state and attach it to a VM.

> He also states he has his backups, so he's mostly just whining because he's annoyed he has to reupload stuff.

Or they're annoyed that they paid for a service, at the very least billed as backup, only to be told "welp, it's gone".

When did "I pretend otherwise"? My comment(s) have nothing to do with the meaning of light. I'm not sure what you get out of pretending otherwise.

Either way in the dark when you can't see, the author is wrong, that doesn't mean there is no light...there is light, at minimum the person who can't see is emitting it. Many people don't know that and find it interesting.

Living will is fine and good and everyone should have one. The problem is that dementia, by itself, is not a direct cause of death. You can live for years with severe dementia but be otherwise completely healthy. Two members of my family lived out their last years like that.

My wife and I are moving to a state that allows assisted suicide after our kids are out of the house. Neither of us want to live like that or be remembered like that.
YNAB is amazing but the monthly fee is a bit much, since it's forever. Personally I use YNAB4 which is a standalone app and I don't use the cloud services, so it was a "pay once" app.

For those interested in an alternative that works in a similar manner, there's Buckets ( https://www.budgetwithbuckets.com/ ) which is also "pay once" and even offers an unlimited trial period.
> According to the regulations interpreting the FLSA, “a stenographer who reads a book while waiting for dictation, a messenger who works a crossword puzzle while awaiting assignments, [a] fireman who plays checkers while waiting for alarms and a factory worker who talks to his fellow employees while waiting for machinery to be repaired are all working during their periods of inactivity.” Since these employees are unable to effectively use the time spent waiting for their own purposes, the time essentially belongs to and is controlled by the employer. Accordingly, in all of these examples, the time spent waiting is an integral part of the job. As such, the employees are engaged to wait, and are therefore entitled to be compensated for their time.

That's my point. You can totally have those things, just most middle class people will have to pay in, it cannot be built via taxing only some nebulous $100 million+ class.

Any good economist would point to the economic inefficiencies created on the whole market by the externalities of the human suffering this would cause.
Ah, interesting point, I hadn't considered that. It seems like that would take away a lot of the power of electronic price tags though. You raise the price on the price tag and people take the product at the new price, indicating they're willing to pay that new price, but you still charge them the old price.

The real holy grail in price segmentation would be something like Google glasses that show individualized prices for each product. Then the store could do all kinds of targeted price promotion based on my buying history. Or even do promotional pricing based on my shopping trip for that day. Maybe it notices I'm about to checkout and I have hamburgers in my cart, it could offer me a promotional price on buns. Or lower the price of sale items as I walk past them without picking them up to try to find the highest pricepoint I'm willing to pay.

> I wonder if there is a mechanism (there probably isn't) which instead rapidly matches folks so that they can catcall exactly the people who want to be cat called, assuming there are any.

Human cultures have adapted all sorts of symbols and codes for social boundary negotiation. One really obvious and ancient one is the Wedding Ring. The fact that Wedding Rings are an "opt out" by default model in many folks' view for what is "fair game" is a problem to redress.

Another example that comes to mind from books I've read is the 70s "handkerchief code": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handkerchief_code. That one at least is more opt-in. There are descendants of that coding system still in use, of course.

In several of the real world conventions that I attend there's a growing pin and button culture that tries to encode directly and explicitly in English some negotiations, across a wide spectrum of consent/interest lines, things such as "I'm a hugger" and "Yes, I'm interested in socializing right now" (plus pronouns, and so forth). The advantage of making plain English over some cryptic code is nice for avoiding some forms of miscommunication, and you can do that in constrained settings like sci-fi conventions. They become a useful laboratory for exploring which ideas should possibly grow out into the real world, even though I don't think there are many ideas of how to do that "at scale" just yet.

(They are also laboratory experiments that some of them still fail and various communities are continually learning from them. Almost every broad consent has exceptions and navigating the line, for instance, of "I know I've given broad consent, but right now you need to accept that this particular circumstance is a no" is probably always going to be a challenge.)

Arguably a large part of the evolution of human communications has always been about social negotiation and we keep building new systems to signal/communicate/explore it. We've never perfected it, but maybe a big part of our human drive is that we keep trying.
I think speed is not the primary reason many (most?) people use ZFS; I think it's mostly about stability, reliability and maintainability.
The author seems to make a rather classic mistake; once told, I'm sure you'll recognize it in some of your current and past coworkers: they become intimately involved and emotionally invested in the evolution of their chosen toolkit.

In C++, which has a large community with this particular affliction, this usually means their code stops compiling with anything but a HEAD clang targeting C++20 and becomes utterly unrecognizable. In C#, following this post, a few framework gimmicks will apparently not be implemented in the old .NET: all code must utilize them or risk "exodus".

Java had a good immunization protocol: don't change the language for 10 years. All those people moved to Scala.

Meanwhile, of course, the real world continues to run just fine with ancient software written in ancient languages compiled with ancient tooling, targeting ancient operating systems. Your router is on Linux 2.6. Hell, you can start a new application targeting .NET Framework 4 today and Microsoft will keep that stuff running for another 20 years on Windows.
I don’t assume malice. My father has dementia. He is not even aggressive but it takes incredible effort and patience to deal with him.

Bell Expands Air Taxi Play: AerOS, Digital Infrastructure and All-Electric Nexus
Here are his reasons for generally avoiding ZFS from what I consider most important to least.

- The kernel team may break it at any time, and won't care if they do.

- It doesn't seem to be well-maintained.

- Performance is not that great compared to the alternatives.

- Using it opens you up to the threat of lawsuits from Oracle. Given history, this is a real threat. (This is one that should be high for Linus but not for me - there is no conceivable reason that Oracle would want to threaten me with a lawsuit.)
The CPU monitor program was called Pulse and early versions allowed you to turn all the processors off and crash the machine. I think it was fixed in 3.something or 4.0.

The 8-way PIII Xeon was a Compaq someone tested BeOS on before it went into production. I Remember it being posted on some BeOS news site. There should be another screenshot or two with 25 avi files playing and a crap load of CPU hungry programs running at once. Impressive feat circa 2000. Edit: browse the screenshot directory for the other two. Amazing they survived time, internet, bit rot and my memory: http://birdhouse.org/beos/8way/

The BeOS scheduler prioritized the GUI and media programs so you could load the machine down to 100% and the GUI never stuttered and windows could be smoothly moved, maximized and minimized at 100% CPU. Rather, your programs would stutter. And everything was given a fair chance at CPU time.

Very nice design and the OS was built from the ground up for multimedia and threading for SMP. It was a real nice attempt at building a next generation desktop OS. Had no security even though it had basic POSIX compatibility and a bash shell. Security bits meant nothing.
And he was doing fine up to that point. For IMO good reasons, ZFS will likely never be merged into Linux. And filesystem kernel modules from third parties have a pretty long history of breakage issues going back to some older Unixes.

That's going to be plenty of reason not to use ZFS for most people. The licensing by itself is also certainly a showstopper for many.

But I'm not sure his other comments are really fair and, had Oracle relicensed ZFS n years back, ZFS would almost certainly be shipping with Linux, whether or not as the typical default I can't say. It certainly wasn't just a buzzword and there were a number of interesting aspects to its approach.
That stood out to me as well, indeed the numbers vary a lot nationally and ethnically.

Like car services, scooters are a great complement to commuting on public transit. Most of the time, when you commute on public transit, you don't need another vehicle. But things come up unpredictably that require you to run a quick errand or go somewhere outside walking distance to meet friends.

When I ask people if they would commute to work on public transit, the biggest thing they worry about is, "What if I have to ____?" They don't like the thought of being useless when their partner asks them to run an errand, or left out when their friends plan something after work. Even if 95% of their workdays would be nothing but catching the bus or train downtown, working and patronizing businesses in a small walkable area, and then taking the bus or train home again, and even if it's significantly less burdensome than driving, a lot of people will still drive because they can't give up the feeling of being able to deal with contingencies. Rental and on-demand transportation options address that without forcing people to keep their own vehicle on hand every day even though they rarely need it.

I think this is an important factor for making public transit attractive to people who are accustomed to the advantages of driving everywhere. Right now, car-based services like Uber and Lyft are sufficient for that, but as city centers back away from the massive accommodations they've made for car traffic, bikes and scooters will become more important.

Project Zero usually releases the details 90 days after they've found the exploit, giving hopefully ample time for Apple to patch the bug. So assuming they have, simply being on the latest version means you are safe.
Seems like something that will happen eventually in the next decade or three. I can imagine a business model where instead of collecting a vial of saliva, a company rents you a fully automated desktop DNA sequencer. The data can live on your computer and be compared to new SNP's as they are found. It's a long way off, and I understand full sequencing is significantly more difficult than SNP identification, but the tech seems possible, even probably. The business model seems less probable. People just don't care that much about their data.

Also, it doesn't matter due to network effects. In the GEDmatch case, the serial killer had never had his DNA sequenced - just his relatives. DNA privacy is already gone even if you opt-out of everything. You might as well get some personal benefit out of it. Or maybe this is a perverse opposite of vaccination. If enough people get vaccinated, you get herd immunity. If enough people stop sending data to DNA companies, you get herd privacy. Once enough people in one generation send in for DNA tests, even if everyone stopped, wouldn't future generations still be relatively targetable? I mean I'd imagine you could find me by comparing to my grandparents DNA.

You are right.

Why are cooks + janitors paid so little? Because that's their worth to the economy. A ton of people are willing to do that job because it is an "easy skill" with a low barrier of entry.

How do we get unskilled labor on STEM paths? I totally understand unequal opportunity not allowing everybody the same options, but at what point do we say "people aren't created equally, most cooks/janitors wouldn't be great engineers for reasons X, Y, Z"

Are the reasons because they never had the chance, or is it genetic?

Not arguing either way, as I don't think I am knowledgeable enough on the subject to do so, but I feel like there is a lot of potential to confuse correlation and causation. It simply could just be that "children and adolescents taking antidepressants" are already in a high risk group that is 3 times as likely "to have suicidal thoughts or to attempt suicide", and antidepressants reduce that number to "twice as likely".
So, is Linus pretty much the same guy? I know he took some time off and the kernel team adopted a code-o-conduct, and had that introspective e-mail ... but now that he's back ... is it any different?
