Yes in theory they are but currently syncing pools between linux and freebsd zfs is not possible so I would imagine there are some differences. I have around 12Tb of zraided disk space on freebsd and I hope I will be able to upgrade eventually.

I found most of clients fell into two categories.

Poor and really should not be using the service.

Not a doctor or any profession of relevance but I do use tanning lights. Incandescents produce mostly visible light and very little UVA or UVB for those health concerns. Fluorescents tend to produce more UVB in comparison but still very negligible. Tanning lights generally produce the amount of UVA and UVB needed for vitamin D synthesis although you have to use with caution.
Do you currently think that Epstein is legitimate because of his past donations? Harvard rejected his donations after his convictions. Who thinks he is legit?

I don't know the answer, and this isn't a leading question, but you left out the interesting bit: what are the predictors of success in college?
It's a good point but back in March the coronavirus was less understood. We didn't know that they were less likely to spread outdoors. We didn't know if the virus was really airborne or not. We didn't know masks helped because they were commonly spread by droplets. (Ok, a lot of the world did, but America didn't.)

If road constructions had to be done in groups (likely?) then it was putting construction workers in front of an unknown set of risks. I think we understand all those things a little better now so in retrospect it may have been a good idea.
Like a whole language built on the fuckit principle.
I'm confused. The entire reason why you are not paid for commute is because it's on your personal time. As such, how can people accept being forced to work the "commute hours", when it was your time in the first place?

It’s expensive and a nightmare of cost complexity which leads to an entire meta-industry of cost management which I’m sure is a net loss.

I’m really more concerned about the absolutely miserably shitty performance of snapshots myself which always goes unmentioned and unmaintained. So I’ve got a 4TiB volume online attached to a node which is blasting out fragmented writes galore (Jenkins - ugh).

So we need to back up this volume for DR. Snapshots right? Well not when it takes 28 hours to snapshot that volume. So off to rdiff-backup it is. Back in the last infrastructure cult of virtualisation this was a 20 minute turnaround.

Good job it’s 5 nines now. That means we only risk a 3 day recovery window 2000x less often. Actually that hurt writing that.

I’m sure someone will now immediately sell me EKS to run Jenkins now which is ten fresh layers of eye gouging pain between idea to delivering software, something which I barely remember being able to do efficiently at this point.

There are bazillion apps out there, mostly free or comes with free tier. Unless this is $9.99 or lower, I would never consider. Just my opinion.
CSBA has a report that goes through the data. It's rather one sided. Unless something like the vietnam rules of engagement concerning visual id happens again, dogfights are done. Add stealth to that and the arguments get monumentally stronger.

There are 10 homes being built within a quarter mile radius of me here in the mountains of Utah. These lots have stood empty for decades, with one or two homes going up per year. It makes no sense to me why they are all building now. Two of these homes are literally some of the largest homes I've ever seen in person. One is 10,000 sq ft, one is 20,000 sq ft.

Unfortunately, with very few exceptions, they're all being built by retired "empty nesters". My wife and I are always hopeful that families with young kids will move in so they can be friends with our children. But wealthy rural communities are pretty inaccessible to young couples starting families.

Funny, while so many in this community are discussing moving out into cheap rural areas, I'm longing for neighbors my age and friends for my kids and weighing moving to a city.
The concerning issue with this fire is that humans have spent most of the last 100 years suppressing wildfires in these forests. This leads to an unprecedented amount of fuel built up on the forest floor, which leads to abnormally large and hot wildfires. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be too much for the redwoods, though time will tell.

Treating $(subject) tool to be equivalent of day 2 ops, does the trick.

What makes it viable to do it with a team of (say) 6 folks? Community driven core, adopted internally by this team.

So is it mostly about mindset change, or it just really doesn’t have a place in org internal engineering team setups?
I'm from a neighboring state that provides hospitality to wealthy Texan tourists. It's sort of an odd dynamic. Want people to enjoy themselves and have fun, but also take the wind out of people's sails from time to time. It's probably easier to explain with an old joke.

A Texan is bragging about how big his ranch is. "It takes all day to drive around the edge of my ranch". The sly reply is "Yeah, my truck's like that too".

Generally good natured, but from time to time, one side or the other is a little too invested in the hype and it's not so funny.
My belief is that many renters who have the means to buy a house but have been putting it off have now decided to look for homes because they are stuck in their rental all day and can't do with it what they want. Also, many people are moving to other cities now that they can work remote, and a certain percentage of these people will purchase new homes. These cause a shortage of inventory, so the response is to build homes.

Furthermore, interest rates are very low and there is a perception that this won't last, so people are scrambling to get a loan.

I believe this because I am one of those people and I know several others in similar situations. I'm in escrow right now.
> never to build weapons unless the United States is attacked

It'd be kinda late to start building weapons then. Imagine a country being attacked by an adversary like USSR and start building weapons at the moment of the attack only. They couldn't last a week.

Note also that the official ideology of the USSR presumes ultimate violent overthrow of every non-socialist state. While late USSR has mellowed down somewhat and preferred stealth and sneaky rather than open combat, the expansionist drive has never been gone. And I wonder what we could have seen if USSR would have been the only country that had nukes in their possession...

It matters about the title referring to distorting research - obviously the money distorted people, not the research, the research that was done with Epstein's money did not become any less valuable, some of the people who drove that research became less ethical where interactions that were not scientific research in nature were concerned.

Isn’t the United States still heavily segregated???

Take a look at the data on Milwaukee, Detroit and Chicago for example.

As Clarence Thomas has mentioned often “affirmative action” just covers up larger injustices like underfunded public schools and housing discrimination.

In a lot of states, we have Democratic big cities and Republican towns with a Republican state legislature.

Guess which areas in the state get the most funding for their schools —- it’s NOT the cities with the most people per square mile.

oops! thanks for noticing. Will correct it soon.
I think this discussion is frustrating because your explanation seems to be based on well-defined terms of art, as opposed to the colloquial terms like "weak" and "dynamic".

It's like the discussion is untyped, and the downvotes are runtime errors that would have been caught if terms were agreed upon ahead of time.
I have a similar background, but right now I'm just taking a salary as a software engineer and looking to expand that. Have you written more about your path so someone like me could learn from it?
"There may be some universal aspects to sentience."

I'll define sentience for us quite loosely and vaguely to mean "has self awareness" and "knows stuff that would be useful to us", like new fields in mathematics and physics. LMK if that's incorrect.

There may be universal aspects to that, and we're only speculating, so you could be right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have a feeling that "sentience" as a general concept, whatever the definition, contains these "universal aspects" right in the definition, begging the question.

We only have a single data point for even recognizing what sentience is: as you say, some indicators are "motion", "wanting stuff", "energy usage"

Since there are example on Earth of creatures that have all of those traits that are definitely not sentient, can I assume you mean at greater scale? So, motion across interstellar distances and what that implies.

To my mind, motion across interstellar distances is neither necessary nor sufficient to demonstrate "sentience" as defined above. I can easily imagine a mindless entity evolved to spew spores into space with only enough sentience to take advantage of gravity sling shots to speed themselves along the way, that we mistake for spaceships. Or highly advanced, sentient creatures that are immobile, that look to us like barnacles or slime mold, that take thousands of years to complete a single thought.

At the end of the day, I believe we are going to recognize only creatures that evolved under very similar circumstances to us as "sentient": can manipulate objects; can emit signals we recognize as such, at a scale we can comprehend; bonus points for spaceships, clothing, machinery; bonus points for using scientific principles that we do not yet know, but would find useful.

I suspect (admittedly without due cause) that this kind of sentience is exceedingly rare relative to the potential diversity of what is possible; which is to say, that post-first-contact humanity will find our definition of sentience to be astonishingly narrow
A related issue is leaking fds into child processes. For example, Go locks around fork() to prevent racing with creating new fds (e.g. from pipe) [1]. Rust doesn't have any synchronization between fork and creating fds; I wonder whether/how this is addressed in nushell.

Brian Behlendorf and Matt Macy are both fantastic engineers, other people contributed but this is ultimately the kind of thing that must be led by a small number of (in this case two) extremely senior engineers working together for a common outcome with raw technical ability to get everything off the ground and prove it works; and refined leadership skills to stick around til it's actually done!
Nexgen was great, the lack of a FPU at that moment in time however was fatal at launch.

Quake was just starting to ignite the world and pentium performance at 486 prices would have done more, but no fpu... it ran NT fine enough although my memory wants to say Microsoft detected it as a 386 so that would have cut NT 4 out of the picture.

I thought knowledge of them was more common but I guess not
Sorry to be pedantic, but although Monte Carlo simulations are based on pseudo-randomness, I still think it is good practice that they have deterministic results (i.e., use a given seed) so that the exact results can be replicated. If the precise numbers can be reproduced then a) it helps me as a reviewer see that everything is kosher with their code and b) it means that if I tweak the code to try something out my results will be fully compatible with theirs.
Ooph. I'm betting that Epic was expecting to get to stay on the app store during the trial. That's an expensive difference. I would guess that Epic will retract its change and ask to be relisted on the app store (and if that doesn't happen, seek rapid redress in the court, since this TRO decision explicitly lists Epic's ability to be reinstated as a rationale for why there is no risk of irrevocable harm).
Can I ask what brought you to where you live today? Or is it where you're from?
Key quotes:

"the Court observes that Epic Games strategically chose to breach its agreements with Apple which changed the status quo"

"However the showing is not sufficient to conclude that these considerations outweigh the general public interest in requiring private parties to adhere to their contractual agreements or in resolving business disputes through normal, albeit expedited, proceedings."

"Epic Games and Apple are at liberty to litigate against each other, but their dispute should not create havoc to bystanders."
If iPhones had the same rules of PSN Apple wouldn't be so rich

"If you want to play on another PS4 that isn't your primary console, you can download any game you've bought on the PS Store as long as you sign into PSN. Only you'll be able to start the games you've downloaded, and you can only be logged into two consoles at any one time: your primary PS4 and one other secondary one (like a friend's). The good news is there's no limit on the number of systems you can download your games to. You have to be logged in in order to play, but from the sounds of things this means you can share digital games with as many mates as you like, though only one of these secondary consoles will be able to play a title at any given time and you'll have to tell them your password so they can log in.

As has been mentioned before, the situation with discs remains the same as ever. Sony has reiterated that, "You can share disc games with your friends and play used disc games on your PS4 system just like you can on a PlayStation 3 system. You do not have to connect to the Internet or pay any usage fees to play used games."
Don't forget that many people used to bathe outside for many millenia. But I too would be interested in how clothing through generations have put selective pressures on humans, if any.
Man, I wish we had articles written like Wired from 2003-2009, that was the height of their editorial.
Note that the trees in question are Coastal Redwoods, not Giant Sequoias, in Big Basin, maybe five miles from the coast, near sea level. They are TALL trees, with some over 300 feet tall.

The Giant Sequoias in the article you linked are in the Sierra Nevada mountains, at a few thousand feet elevation and a couple hundred miles from the coast. They are MASSIVE trees, truly awe-inspiring, a bit shorter than the Coastal Redwoods but with trunks 30 feet across.

I don't think Coastal Redwoods have any trouble propagating or germinating. I have one in my back yard. Apparently they can be germinated in tap water. https://www.treeseedonline.com/blog/germination-of-coast-red...

Giant Sequoias, on the other hand, I view as truly irreplaceable. Some are over 3,000 years old. I hope we can protect them as long as possible.

The two species are cousins, but it's important to differentiate between the two.
Yes. Sorry, I'm not a native English speaker ...
You get the same when people cry "peer-review" without actually understanding what peer-review actually means.

Just EDN would be good start. When more dynamism is needed - it’s already a Clojure subset.
Always have been. It's a part of our state's ecology. Our forests require them in order to stay healthy, and native peoples were mediating the process for thousands of years before Western settlers decided fire was dangerous and had to be stopped. Now our forests and the fuel structures therein are way out of whack and we're finding our way back toward balance.
I'm pretty sure it's in the first line of the article.

> Construction of new U.S. homes surged 22.6% last month as homebuilders bounced back from a lull induced by the coronavirus pandemic.

"bounced back" being the takeaway. It's just bouncing back to somewhat normal levels after it being down a lot.
Maybe I misunderstood the statement I was responding to. I thought they said you were sent to work camps for not working :)

Sure political prisoners were sent to work camps. As long you did not speak against the regime you were safe, though.

It is definitely not necessary. Because the gcd of 2 and 4 is 2, thus we have 2(1) and 2(2). 2 and 1 are coprime and thus will reduce down to 1, the common part left out is 2 and the uncommon part is 1, as always 1.

Thanks about the Buchberger intro I didn't know about that.
I don't understand this obsession with billionaires lately. Why exactly stop there? Why not millionaires? Or people with 100k? You are still in the top x% of the world. Or does that hit too close at home?

My guess, people are moving away from the cities out to the suburbs because the great thing about the cities are all the social events, restaurants, and activities which are mostly shutdown and a lot of people don't need commute to work since they work remote now. So might as well move out from an apartment into a bigger house. Then there might also be a fear of higher crime, taxes, etc

I'd never heard of that before and it's a genius idea -- too easy to dissociate yourself from a million deaths on the other side of the planet, but if the first step is killing a single person with your own hands, that puts it all in perspective.
Easy, my parents lived here and we were planning on having children soon. We figured we could either live close to my office in a much smaller home, or have a longer commute in a larger home, and be 2 minutes away from my parents for babysitting. The only downside is the neighbors are all old. We're literally closer in age to our neighbors teenage children than we are to any of our neighbors.
