The problem with ZFS is that it isn't part of Linux kernel.

Linux project maintains compatibility with userspace software but it does not maintain compatibility with 3rd party modules and for a good reason.

Since modules have access to any internal kernel API it is not possible to change anything within kernel without considering 3rd party code, if you want to keep that code working.

For this reason the decision was made that if you want your module to work you need to make it part of Linux kernel and then if anybody refactors anything they need to consider modules they would be affecting by the change.

Not allowing the module to be part of the kernel is a disservice to your user base. While there are modules like that that are maintained moderately successfully (Nvidia, vmware, etc.) this is all at the cost of the user and userspace maintainers who have to deal with it.
Because the object only reflects photons of certain wavelengths.
In short, yes, because end-to-end implies only a single producer and consumer have access to the data. Storage in the cloud wouldn't be an "end", and therefore it must be encrypted at that stage. The ends are 1) where the data is created by the device, and 2) wherever it is viewed on retrieval by the end user. While it's in the cloud it's still "in transit".

Facebook, if I recall correctly, at one point seemed to be trying to redefine the term to be "encrypted on its way to us and then back out again", which IMO is nothing short of propagandizing to confuse people, I assume to foil demand for real E2E encrypted products and gain unearned trust.
Ironically, this happens because the medicine is working. FTA:

> When a person’s depression starts to lift, he or she may feel less hopeless and helpless. That sounds like an improvement, but when people feel less helpless but still feel depressed, they may think about suicide as a way out, whereas before they were too immobilized to make a suicide plan. For that reason, a decrease in the symptoms of depression can increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or actions.
I think 99% is an overkill. If you assume 7% ROI and 2% inflation then a 70% top marginal bracket (combined with unifying capital gains and income) would make it very hard to maintain wealth.

To get rid of these high levels of inequality we don't need to make it impossible to be rich, just make it very hard to be rich and let nature take its course.

Note that in my lifetime the top marginal tax bracket has been over 70% so it's not even that radical of a change.

Im doing a site for my consultancy at the moment on self-hosted wordpress. Its interesting as Ive not set up a WP site in a while, and WP has moved to site builders which strangely makes more work

My view is see how it goes, and if I dont like it I'll move to a static builder. Gatsby seems to be getting the recommendations - but I think themes are better on hugo and jekyll at present

> The benchmarks I've seen do not make ZFS look all that great.

The thing about ZFS that actually appeals to me is how much error-checking it does. Checksums/hashes are kept of both data and metadata, and those checksums are regularly checked to detect and fix corruption. As far as I know it (and filesystems with similar architectures) are the only ones that can actually protect against bit rot.

> And as far as I can tell, it has no real maintenance behind it either any more, so from a long-term stability standpoint, why would you ever want to use it in the first place?"

It has as much maintenance as any open source project: http://open-zfs.org/. IIRC, it has more development momentum behind it than the competing btrfs project.

If you can't find a good implementation for an interface perhaps the problem is the interface. Inline the function, refactor, then express the result via re-usable components. Ultimately it is a problem of code re-use vs performance. If you want divine insight it is probably to use lazy evaluation, so for the example in the article express normalize as a generator.
Yes, I’m eagerly waiting for Bcachefs to get there at some point, but it is several years away (rightly so, because it is hard and the developer is doing an amazing job) if my understanding of its state is correct.

I have heard of durability issues with btrfs, and do not want to touch it if it fails with its primary job.

I couldn't agree more about psychiatric medication but that doesn't mean there aren't multiple causes. Also, drug addiction in many cases is caused by low wages and terrible economic conditions so addressing the addiction needs to address the underlying issues which are low wages and a terrible economy for normal people.
Have you got any info on how to do the required tuning that's geared towards a home NAS?
Linus is just wrong as far as maintenance, as a look at the linux-zfs lists would show.

From my perspective, it has no real competitor under linux, which is why I use it. I don't consider brtfs mature enough for critical data. (Others can reasonably disagree, I have intentionally high standards for data durability.)

Aside from legal issues, he's talking out of his ass.
Therapy is a complicated beast. Not everyone can afford it (generic prozac is fairly inexpensive per month, a therapist is usually more than $20 per month). Even if the insurance is good, not everyone can get off work to go - which is a real issue if you work "doctor hours". And to make it all worse, so many therapists have a waiting list and patients are queued depending on need.

And some folks need the drugs just to talk to someone!

So yeah, drugs is often the go-to. A family doctor is a lot more available than a therapist.
I'll take your questions at face value. You are likely being downvoted for your use of an aggressive tone, but that's another matter.

1) Recipe for a good minestrone soup, no. Actively endorsing a specific brand of an ingredient, yes.

2) No. (One might argue you're building a brand and advertising yourself. I don't, necessarily. If the efficient loop was possible to create using only a particular compiler, then yes.)

3) Yes. The page is selling a particular idea, and most likely lying by accident. After all, how many screens have been calibrated for colour correction accuracy? Are you, as a reader, getting the correct information?
Pretty much my view as well. If Linux becomes incompatible with ZFS in any way, I'll switch to FreeBSD.

That said, after the Oracle Java debacle, I can see why Linus would not be receptive towards merging ZFS into the kernel. I just wish he argued the point on legal issues alone instead of making up stories about non-existent technical flaws in ZFS. The whole thing is basically a work of art. Oracle should consider GPL-ing it and integrating it into Linux directly.
The anti-nuclear self-proclaimed environmentalists simply do not seem to understand the concept of "Base Load." They believe, or pretend to believe, that industrial civilization can be powered by "sunny days when the wind is blowing" energy, and doesn't need 24x7 365 days a year energy.

I call this arithmetic denialism.

If you don't want to be an arithmetic denier, show me the energy source that can provide 24x7 energy all 356 days a year in sufficient quantity to power industrial/technological civilization. I see a startling lack of any energy source that passes muster with the anti-nuke sort of "environmentalist."

Definitely. And exactly why it was unhappy employees who contacted the CAW in the first place.

This is nonsense. The problem is not getting ZFS bundled with Linux like he is implying here. The problem is how Linux artificially restricts what APIs your module is able to access based on the license, so you wouldn't be able to use ZFS even by your own prerogative like he is suggesting.

He is claiming that it comes down to the user's choice, which would be just fine if that were true. The only problem here is that Linux has purposely taken steps to hinder that choice.

And will be billions over budget and I'm sure when it opens there will be a ton of issues. This had been the status quo lately. Under bid, charge more during development while politicians addres under pressure, rush thing and perform subpar work, open and renewal electrical issues and cracking foundations.
This is unfortunately my experience in any custodial care setting. Providers (Hospitals, SNFs, Board & Cares, Day Programs, etc...) will use whatever they can get away with prescribing that has a sedative effect, not just antipsychotic drugs.

I imagine a significant number of people diagnosed with dementia likely do not have it. The providers just want people to be docile and lie in bed. Having to monitor and manage people who may get up at odd hours and act in ways we aren't used to requires a lot of other people, which gets expensive.

The worst part is that the combination of over medication and lack of suitable care can lead to someone exhibiting symptoms similar to dementia even if they don't have it.

To be fair, funding likely isn't sufficient for many providers to do a sufficient job monitoring and working with their patients, but that's a separate conversation.
On the surface, btrfs is pretty close to zfs.

Once you actually use them, you discover all the ways that btrfs is a pain and zfs is a (minor) joy:

- snapshot management

- online scrub

- data integrity

- disk management

I lost data from perfectly healthy-appearing btrfs systems twice. I've never lost data on maintained zfs systems, and I now trust a lot more data to zfs than I ever have to btrfs.
Who knows how long they will support that, I've seen ploys like these before where in a couple years they'll reduce that free tier to nothing and jack up the price of the entry level.
Ha, yes, that's confusing. The Bao project was originally two things: 1) a custom tree hash mode, and 2) an encoding format and verified streaming implementation based on that tree hash. The first half evolved into BLAKE3. Now the Bao project itself is just the second half.
It’s convention to do this in Julia as well, every package I’ve used that mutates marks the explicitly mutating function with a ! at the end.

Flipping a switch that says "Backup" does not mean you are handing your responsibility to them. At most, they will fail to meet their SLA, write you a check for according to the TOS and be done with it. At best, you'll be able to bitch about it on Twitter, possibly threaten a lawsuit (you read the ToS?) and still be in the same position because you did not share the responsibility of securing your data.

I revisit Fireflies from time to time, but everything on https://ncase.me/ is wonderful. I particularly like https://ncase.me/door/.

Nicky's site elevates the web beyond “magazines/newspapers/leaflets on a network-connected screen”. It reminds you that the web can be a rich and interactive medium with stories told and ideas taught with love and with care.

It feels like there's a gap in the market for tools that help people to build richer experiences and “playable articles” like these.

So many content management systems and platforms seem stuck in the “your website is a brochure but online” mindset. In the same way that PowerPoint seems to encourage crappy presentations, traditional tools for website creation often do the same for websites. Coupled with the sheer difficulty of creating and maintaining a website, it's no wonder that blogs and personal sites feel like they're in decline.

I'd love to see more tools that let users build sites that aren't just linked pages whose most interactive feature is a contact form or search field. The only one I can think of that's close is https://glitch.com/. Are there others I've missed?
I’m looking forward to bcachefs becoming feature complete and upstreamed. We finally have a good chance of having a modern and reliable FS in the Linux kernel. My wish list includes snapshots and per volume encryption.

i just installed this and it is really impressive.
Tricky, and very much depending on the details. Observations from a software field with individual, large contracts with customers: Customer attitude to this varies wildly, from "and $largeSum is your contract penalty if your official communications ever mention that you worked with us, and here's an NDA for every person touching our data/code" to "sure, we'll be a customer showcase at trade shows and ship you stuff and people for that".

As a reader, I'll give a lot more weight to something with details attached. A medium-detailed blogpost about why a small company is working with you and what that gave them, or something I can see/confirm being used in practice, is worth a lot more than a meaningless Fortune 500/FAANG logo on the front page where I'll assume that "ok, one person with a corporate mail address signed up for that product, or maybe one small team uses it".

Interest is already negative in Japan for years, and now it's negative on Europe too. The US is heading fast to this insane reality of negative interests too. Since 2008 the FED has multiplied the amount os dollars in circulation by what, 5-10 times? This created this crazy scenario where the Softbanks of the world see a business model that is clearly destined to fail and never be profitable, and still keep pouring money on it at higher and higher valuations. I live in Brazil, and the price these companies charge for the scooter rides here is totally out of our economic reality. I'm just waiting for this HUGE bubble to explode. UBER, Netflix, WeWork, Tesla to some extent. All multi billion dollar companies that never return profits to their investors. I for one am glad to be getting cheap UBER rides down here at the expense of the pension funds of millions of americans, but this can not go on forever. Since the end of 2019 I began to switch my investments to gold and wait for the crash. Trump gave me some help with this gold idea this week, so far so good ;-)
No, it was "distorted" 2D, like cardboards put in perspective. Not 3D.
Where's the remainder of your premium going to come from when you're only paying 10% salary for it? Private insurance companies sure aren't going to reduce their prices.
It's a dishonest framing, though. The middle class already pays in, at an exorbitant rate that's twice the rest of the developed world.

Changing how we pay is different from paying more.
23AndMe is reusing the same model as Google with the extra advantage that people are naively ready to pay for it.

They have the same privacy issues as Google and I would certainly never trust them with my DNA. I know it's easy enough to get access to it but I'm certainly not going to pay or volunteer to give it. That information is eventually going to get weaponized.

What will happen once they manage to statistically correlate your DNA with your political beliefs for example? Or correlate your DNA with a profile that is more likely to buy specific products?

Right now I see them doing the same thing that Google did 15 years ago. They are hyping consumers by pushing stories of curing rare diseases with the help of statistics. Similar to Google 15 years ago that pretended to make the world a better place by creating top technology. It is clear to me what the end goal is going to be though.

23AndMe CEO is the sister of Youtube CEO and ex-wife of Sergei Brin. Enough said, no thanks.

Employers can also stop paying $6,000/year[0] for middle-class health insurance and add that to middle-class paychecks, and then the government can take it in the form of taxes, to provide the health insurance.

The difference is that the cost savings should make this enough enough to cover EVERYONE, not just the upper-heeled middle class.

It's possible that quite a bit of the middle class may not notice a large difference in take-home pay even with an additional 10 percentage points of federal income tax.

That's interesting because... right now we have a system that examines income and taxes income.

The "wealth tax" is a system that examines wealth and taxes wealth (not income). It's theorized that it's unconstitutional, and even if it isn't, the conservative US court might cause it problems anyway.

But if instead you examine wealth and tax income, maybe that gets around the issue. Higher income tax brackets for those with more wealth?

When it comes to file systems “pretty reliable” these days does not sound very good. Reliability had to have been a fundamental requirement for design of a file system. If not, it sounds like putting lipstick on a pig.

Redhat throwing towel on their support for development does not instill confidence either.

Nothing personally against Btrfs. Just an end user making a file system choice saying what I care about.
I don't see how it's an insult to the users. It's saying that not allowing ZFS code to be distributed under the GPL and be maintained as part of the Linux kernel, is a disservice to ZFSonLinux users. Which I think is clearly right.
Nope.

Golang still uses one global heap; it just allows for stack based allocation in situations it can do it (avoiding putting stuff on the global heap), so copies _can_ be cheap re: GC.
Agreed. They need to merge and coördinate agencies. Someone like abag could become the MTA or the ny-nj port authority.
Key word being, "consumed". Resources are something to be used up in the industrial process, yielding economic value and disposable waste.

For those saying this idea is unrealistic, I was at an accelerator in Cambridge a while back and met some folks working on a version of 23andMe that, in my opinion, mirrors what the Brave browser has done to ads.

You can opt into your data being aggregated, anonymized and used by pharmaceutical companies, and you'll be given a percentage of what they sell that data for (IIRC, it was north of 20% and below 50%).

As industries become more crowded and there's an increasing number of services for a consumer to choose from, these sort of arrangements will likely become more common.
In this scenario let's presume the laborer has valuable welding skills but the only factory in town closed. They need to move somewhere else to use their skills but that takes time. In the meantime they need to eat and so they take a job washing dishes.

Inefficiencies in the labor market happen all the time. A minimum wage is one way to protect desperate people from being unfairly exploited.
