There are no bright lines in residency law in the USA. You can potentially reside in one state for five months and the other for seven but be domiciled in the former. This is an area where you really ought to rely on professional advice.
Uh what? Context switches happen all the time and it's not the applications that decide that, it's the kernel. It will preempt processes at its own discretion and the more that are running the more context switches will happen. So as more processes are running (or the same processes start doing more work) and/or interrupts increase, the more performance will be affected by the extra work having to be done each context switch.
As a desktop user you might not notice but if you just invested into some new server iron and it suddenly performs 10% worse, I wouldn't take that lightly.

You have to pay taxes in whatever state your van is located. If you work in multiple states, you have to pay taxes in multiple states. Athletes have to pay taxes in every state they play. If they played in one game per state in 25 states. They have to file 25 different state tax returns.
From what I can gather that will not change the fact that the space is determined by the smallest disk in the vdev.

However watching his presentation about RAID-Z expansion I couldn't shake the feeling that that is a rather arbitrary decision. I mean, if you take his slide visualizing the reflow, it seems that as long as you can put the data + parity blocks on different devices, the size of each device in the vdev could be different.

Of course if you only write full stripes (ie one block for each disk) then you would still be limited by the smallest disk, however the beauty is that you can write shorter stripes. So couldn't ZFS just spread those blocks out?

Though it's late, so maybe I missed something obvious here :)

I would love to go back to Berlin. I'm originally from SF and lived a few places in the US and Europe (SF, SD, Reno, London, Tallinn, Berlin, Shanghai) but Berlin blows them all away. It's got a good mix of people - not dominated by tech or art or anything so you don't have to get the quintessential SF experience of everyone you meet working on a startup idea. Centrally located, you can (or could) jump on a quick flight anywhere else in Europe and many neighborhoods feel small so you can still get the small town vibe even in a big city. Plus, in Berlin your freak flag can really fly and no one cares - SF I think they claim that but people actually are very homogenous and you get penalized for not following the unwritten codes

Learning Russian is a must. Yes you can live for that cheap, if you like the older Soviet-era grungy apartments further from the metro (I love them). It's hard to make any kind of meaningful connections if you don't speak Russian. And there are gangsters who can be openly hostile to non-Russian speaking people - but if you speak Russian and know how to carry yourself like a native you'll be fine, no matter the colour of your skin. Few people speak more than a few words of English, though there is a small native-English-speaking expat community in Moscow. I've been studying Russian for 6 months part-time, and I speak enough to make friends, though I definitely plan to dedicate another year of full-time studies to become fluent.

To rebuild RAID10, only one disk needs to be read completely; to rebuild RAID6, n-1 disks.

For RAID10 to fail, two disks need to fail, and they need to be a mirrored pair, so it's a conditional probability. It's possible to lose up to n/2 disks and for the array to stay up.

For RAID6 to fail, three disks need to fail, but once three disks fail, that's it, you're out.

This all means that whether RAID6 is better than RAID10 is dependent on the number of disks and the actual failure rate. The more disks you have in your array, the more likely RAID10 is to be safer than RAID6.

RAID10 is much, much safer than RAID5. They are not similar in reliability.

Most of the time, RAID6 is safer than RAID10, but RAID10 gets you a lot better performance.

Anything that forces you to tell stories; creative writing, making videos, theatre, improv perhaps. I think it’s the _telling_ that matters, more than the story. - and I think practice will be much more effective than theory for that.

Build up that sense for what works and what doesn’t by trying and seeing (ideally in a supportive environment - a certain sort of friendship is great for this actually, no need for an improv class)

The problem is - how do you determine if a company is worth its salt?

It's easy to say these generic things but how do you determine such things? I've found unicorns gushing with hundreds of millions of dollars in liquid cash will fire employees at the slightest bit of dissatisfaction with the job. Somehow they got lots of $$$ - yet they will fire as soon as someone shows distaste with what they have to do daily because it isn't growing them.

Beyond that: If an employer isn't going to do things you want until you show that you're leaving with an offer in hand - are they really a company worth their salt? Are they really going to keep up a good act or do you need to get a counter offer every time they don't do things you'd like?
A lot of modern mobile apps are shitty, because they're just browsers wrapped in permissions-shitpile (location, calls, contacts, etc.), and display a mobile webpage, while syphoning data a regular browser wouldn't allow (without asking you first, and you denying access), with no additional features (except for useless, spammy notifications).

I've been stung, time and again by asyncio.create_task() swallowing exceptions[1], and functions not telling callers about background tasks[2].

For others looking to NOT rewrite all their code using a 3rd party event loop, here's a simple reproduction of nursery's behaviour in raw asyncio -

Hopefully, this will help lift the curse of asyncio :)

ny.start_soon(b_1(), b_2(), ..., b_n())
.

.
ny.start_soon(x_1(), x_2(), ..., x_n())

class Nursery:
def __init__(self):
self.tasks = set()

def start_soon(self, *coros: typing.Coroutine):
for coro in coros:
self.tasks.add(asyncio.create_task(coro))

async def __aenter__(self):
return self

async def __aexit__(self, *args):
try:
while self.tasks:
tasks = self.tasks
self.tasks = set()

done, pending = await asyncio.wait(
tasks, return_when=asyncio.FIRST_COMPLETED
)

try:
for task in done:
await task
finally:
self.tasks |= pending

USG pays flat rate globally.
They then plus up a COLA allowance based on high-cost areas, special circumstances, etc. But the base rate is a flat rate for a given position.
You can pay 'less extra', but not 'less', generally. Which I'm sure is what FB and others will technically do.
Sometimes. As is often the case, there is evidence for both (banning/limiting, Chilling Effect, power pressure & scolding, etc), depending on the community.

In your second link, the topics were literally banned from the platform, rendering the question moot in that case.

Why wouldn't there be, as more work goes remote?

Why compete on the high-billing end of the salary curve, when you can compete on the low-billing end of the salary curve, for the exact same quality of talent?

"We won't pay NYC wages, but we will pay the rest of you better wages than our competitors" is a great pitch to employees[1]... While being a net benefit to your payroll.

High-performance applications are typically run with anticipation of how the kernel does context switching and are generally designed to accommodate this; on the flip side, the kernel's job is spend the most time executing as it can and it will try to not switch when it can avoid it.

That's a weird way to look at "we pay you X because you'd work for someone else otherwise". There's a middle ground between that and "we pay you X because you create Y value for us".

Or in other words, if they have more people to choose from for a position (due to location being less of a limiting factor), they will be able to find someone accepting a lower wage. This is deeply unsurprising to me and has nothing to do with how skilled the labor is.

I read the reviews but have seen reports that they are sometiems made-up, so I usually look at Wirecutter (a shopping guide sponsored by the NY Times) first. Sometimes the Wirecutter review helps me decide what features I"m looking for and whether I want/need a higher priced product or not. I also do comparison shopping on Google shopping and use the low-to-high price filter on Google and Amazon. So far, everything I've purchased using this combination been a good choice.

I recall reading about a paper some 10 or 20 years ago where they simulated different codon mappings and tested them for resistance to genetic mutations. IIRC they found that what we got is fairly close to optimal, in terms of which codons are redundant and to what degree etc.

A replacement CPU would make more sense. It should support the same operating systems and motherboards. I wonder if Intel would be asked by a lot of people to replace their CPUs.
People who relocate to hot labor markets are more invested in our careers than people who don't. Employers who pay extra to draw from hot labor markets have different problems leading to different skillsets. For better or worse, we're earlier adopters.

I've worked remotely for 10+ years and I have one piece of advice. Ignore these policies. Live wherever you want and demand whatever salary you think you're producing at. If FB wants to leave high productivity labor on the table, let them. If any company has any kind of policy that stops them from hiring you, that's their problem. We've been in a seller's market for software development labor for nearly 20 years. Stop pretending like these arbitrary rules are your problem, it's theirs. They can't limit you. They can only limit themselves.
This comment was dead. I vouched for it which brought it back to life as I believe it makes a strong point the parent comment disregards.
Not surprised. There is no equivalent from Intel for the 3970x except from the significantly more expensive Xeon line. And the closest Intel 10980xe part is 18 cores with availability close to zero.

Also I can't imagine Linus is going to be interested in OC which is where you get most of the value from the Intel chips.

“I'm now rocking an AMD Threadripper 3970x. My 'allmodconfig' test builds are

My company won't even let us take home a keyboard from the office, let alone actually pay for anything. So I'm working entirely from the one thing they did let me take home - my laptop. Productivity loss from only having one tiny screen and a bad keyboard is noticeable but as I've told my boss "I haven't got any monitors or a desk at home".
Eh, I've heard people predicting the end of tech in California for YEARS. Hasn't panned out, and I don't see it changing anytime soon.

Nevermind. Makes sense now; that was the weirdest sentence that turned out to make sense that I'd ever read.
Yes, but we shouldn't have to do it. The computer should be tracking this minutiae for us. File systems should be able to automatically use new storage devices in flexible, fault tolerant ways. That way we can keep all our data under one root.

It's normal to have as many file systems as there are storage devices. That's backwards. There should be one file system on top of all devices. This is one reason why ZFS is so good.
I agree with you. Having lived in a number of great cities over the years, San Francisco is my favorite. It's not perfect, but there are a lot of things to love, and being able to work remotely wouldn't cause me to move.

How does the bills looks like for typical / best practice serverless application ?
My family is Scottish, though I've been in the US since I started primary school. Several of my dad's school friends split time between the UK and various European locations with better weather (south of Spain, etc). That sounds pretty much perfect to me.

But, within the US? I'd be tempted to buy a plot of land in the Appalachians, maybe outside Roanoke VA, build a little chalet, and just chill out. Money no object, I can fly to NYC or London when I get the itch to do culture.

Edit - in DC metro now. It has a lot going for it, but some massive flaws too. I'm an hour from the mountains, which I love. 3-5 hours from several beaches - I could live without them, but it's nice to have the option. The city itself is pretty good for culture and dining. True four seasons, to keep it fresh. But, August is miserably humid. And while not that far north, by the time February rolls around, I'm ready for long summer evenings. Traffic is terrible. But, I walk to work.
My company is paying for any necessary equipment people need to work, but that's about it. I can't really imagine most companies compensating you for you working at home itself though for a few reasons.

1) Many companies are doing pay cuts. They're not going to pay you for something like this if your base salary isn't even what it should be. It's time to be saving money. Companies are trying to limit spending wherever possible.

2) Most companies are assuming that not everyone is even going to work their regular amount due to children, and other duties. I don't particularly expect people to be compensated more for working at home when it's possible people can't do their job as effectively as before.

3) A lot of companies don't even pay you for commuting time or other similar commitments that are required for getting into work. If they did pay for that, then you would actually be getting a pay cut for working from home since that's time saved.

4) Plenty of companies that already hire people to work remotely, do not pay them more because they don't work in an office. That said, they may pay for your internet since it's considered essential for you to do your job, especially if your role requires decent internet (eg software dev/operations/on-call rotations).

These are just a few reasons of the top of my head.
