Only thing I could think of was maybe dedup. However, dedup chews up _lots_ of ram. Gobs of it. To be honest, 12gb doesn't seem like enough to run dedup on something like a 6TB pool (just an example) anyway. I recall reading rough estimates of 4x (or even 5x depending) ram for dedup sizing guidelines at one time.
Despite the ZFS in the service name, there doesn't seem to be any actual ties/restrictions to ZFS, as far as I can see?

It looks like you just rent a VM from them that has a dedicated hard drive attached to it. How you choose to format that drive would seem to be an implementation detail that can be left to the user. If so, it seems odd to limit your potential customers to people who use ZFS?
The biggest problem seems to be that they spend a helluva lot of time on math instruction, but not very much time actually doing the math.

For anything through AP calculus, you'd be better served going down the volume and spaced repetition route that math programs like Saxon use. Do things over, and over, and over, and over again until they are second nature. There's no magic bullet to get around that work that you have to do to master something.
Yeah, I know, bootstrapping a marketplace is one of the hardest things to do in startup. So I have a plan to overcome those barriers.

1. Liking people can be done secretly (people have to like you back in order to know you like them) and publicly (people can see who like them without liking them). Liking secretly is useful for a small team (a small company or a small community). Who knows some members of that small community or company like each other but don't have a courage to express their liking. So they can use my website to do that. Of course, one of them needs to be an initiator.

2. I plan to give some benefits to premium accounts of SwanLove. So you'll get benefits even you are the only one who uses SwanLove. For example, I build PredictSalary (https://predictsalary). Next year, you can predict the salary range from Linkedin profiles using PredictSalary. But only premium members of SwanLove are able to use that feature.

3. Got some funding from investors and use marketing / ads to drive people into my website. :)
Your opinion is very important to me. Please don't be unkind.

How did it end?
I find this site much, much less useful than your average image-heavy marketing website.

It completely fails to explain, in simple, general terms, what the hell it is or why I should care.

The first, most prominent item on the page is some numbers that mean nothing to me.

The second item says this is beta, which I don't care about since I don't know what this is.

The third items claims to be the "purpose", which is exactly what I want to know, but the one and only piece of information is a weird command line that, again, means nothing to me.

The fourth item tries to explain what this is, but just goes into a lot of detail when I am still wondering what this is for.

I still don't really know.
https://microco.sm/ was an attempt at this... it's dead as a startup but the code is open source.

https://www.lfgss.com/ is one example of about 300 sites that are using the platform.

It's recognisably a forum, but works great on small screen devices and includes richer functionality such as events within forums (logically forums are more equivalent to folders that can contain differently structured things, so not just conversations but events as well for example).

I'm still tempted to work on it at times (hasn't been updated in many years) but for that to be a motivation I'd want to believe that others would run instances too and it would grow as a self-hosted multi-tenant option.

It's extraordinarily cheap to run, far less maintenance than any other forum platform I've ever operated.
Yes, I apologized to them for that reason. While I did mean to suggest they perhaps misremembered, I don’t think that is the same as lying, and either way the wording was too strong.
I like the text centered layout too, but in general I have a problem with sites not having a "legal notice", giving me a quick overview who is behind the site and service. In Germany a "legal notice" is enforced by law and this is a good thing.
This right here is the reason Apple haters irritate me.

I love Apple devices and the quality improved in recent years, to the point that I will never leave the ecosystem.

But you can not have a healthy discussion about that because some people will come out and attack apple with their blood and tears. No matter ridiculous their stance is.

It’s a real shame if hate and anger are more socially acceptable than defending something.
Makes sense. Thank you, I think I'll give this a shot sometime!

My main candidate for this right now involves webscraping from a relatively small single source, structuring the data, and serving it in a different manner.

If I may tag on a semi related question: does https://hackage.haskell.org/package/tagsoup look like an OK html parsing library? Any general advice on choosing packages?

I think the target market is technologically minded people who have servers at home but want a backup in case their house burns down/gets flooded/etc. You can probably also run things like nextcloud from it.
This looks like a mechanism that allows more efficient use of CPU resources. You would still be able to schedule workloads on multiple cores as usual, but if they're all in the same "trusted" set, you can skip side-channel mitigations and recover performance. The system would still fall back to using the mitigations when you have too much work to be able to keep workload sets isolated via scheduling.
Argh. I believed I was going insane. How can this be the only B2 status page?

> What I don't get is why the US doesn't just ask the questions they would like to have answered. In most cases our politicians would pretty much just tell them what they need to know.

I imagine part of the mission is counter-intelligence. Verifying Danish negotiators aren't leaking sensitive information to e.g. Russia or China. In those cases, the NSA is probing for information the politicians do not have.
They infamously claimed to ship the first batch which then proved to be a lie.

This is a "mass production run", but basic things like camera are not working.
It seems to me if you want multiple drives you're gonna have multiple accounts.

But this seems to be a beta phase so I guess it's more important to iron out the issues around creating a business that works, then you can have more drives in your account.
That is, why this site is good. People who know what ZFS is and used it before, also get immediately the point of the site.
This site does not try explain ZFS to newbies, which makes it very concise.
Which is quite of importance if they are true (It looks like that to be honest, but the involvement of family matters should not have happened). It is highly relevant to developments in Europe and the relationship to Russia.

It is silly that Trump was accused of what Biden is probably guilty of. That is a point where you loose me even if there are understandable objections to Trump. He didn't start shit like that at least.
Every time I start a new project/repository, I need a .gitignore file. And every time I missed something that had to be added later—often after unstashing/reverting, because of those pesky git add --all I love so dearly. Then came https://gitignore.io and made my life a lot easier. Sadly, not too long ago, Toptal decided to rebrand the site a bit (not too much, but we developers are purists). So, the next time I spun up a new repository, I started procrastinating. I no longer wanted to have to leave the terminal to setup a .gitignore file. And thus git-ignore was born. You can now utilize battle-tested ignore templates right from your terminal.
Feeling kind of the same... I just completed moving my entire app and all user data from AWS. And here we are!
Definitely just turn off the cop if you don't like it.

But let's nitpick a bit. I find it interesting that the arguments made in the article are about the intention of the programmer.

Perhaps an explicit nil does signal to me that the nil is intentional. But does that mean that all implicit nils are unimportant? For a skilled programmer like the OP, it probably does mean that! But how often do I actually know who wrote the code I'm reading? Of course I can git blame, but maybe the author left the org before I joined. What kind of programmer were they? Are implicit nils important or unimportant to them? Perhaps it's easy to argue that they should be unimportant. But in reality, I don't know what the author of a particular method was thinking while they were writing it. In fact even an explicit nil might be unimportant. Maybe somebody replaced a `raise SomethingError` line with `nil` to hot-fix an urgent bug.

I guess from my perspective as a long-time Ruby developer, all nils are important. It doesn't matter what the intention of the programmer was. Ruby is very expressive and very dynamic - anything can return nil and there are a hundred ways to do it. If your nil is intentional, write a test case for it. If you have no test suite in a Ruby project, then may God have mercy on your soul.

That's not completely true, as both (Facebook being worse as usual) will put "recommended"/"promoted" stuff on your timeline.

Oh yes you can! The majority of articles, opinion pieces and books are a drawn out mess. Like that meme about recipes not just containing the recipe, but a whole story the reader usually doesn't care about, how the cook first tried out this dish on his first date with his ex wife, who is the one that got away. The same goes for many books: Simple thoughts are turned into pages, chapters, whole books. >90% padding you do not need to read to fully understand the book.

Computers don’t create transient loads that last only a few hundred ms. (The components are already decoupled for that kind of transient).

When you open your mail and it has to perform a sync, for example, the transient may last for 10+ seconds and it’s not something you can fix with a supercap. You’d be better off adding more battery at that stage, as a larger battery has lower proportional sag for a given current (coulomb rates).

Another thing you can do is size your battery, say 20% larger than you require it, and only charge to 80%. This reduces ageing significantly, BUT consumers would never see this as a feature. They would just complain that the latest Apple phone has 20% less battery than the competitor and is $50 more expensive and heavier than the last model.

I’m taking it at a punt that 99% of regular consumers want to change their phone every 2-3 years (to get the latest camera, Face ID or car keys or whatever feature it might be), so that’s what Apple has targeted for the maximum age of their battery. Anything more is making a collective trade-off for the, perhaps, 1% no?
The algorithm for hot is really toxic. As a community gets bigger the content that more people review and engage with is the simplest of content such as pictures and Memes and it comes to completely dominate a sub past about 10,000 users. So communities have to create rules and consistently moderate such simple content out to maintain a baseline of quality which always expels the highest quality longer form content.
Doom scary creepy game?

People flipped out when Doom 3 ended up being low light horror game and not a fast paced shooter.

Heck the lore of the Doom is that the protagonist is the 'Doom of demonkind'. Its the game where you are not locked in room with demons but they are locked in room with you.

> you're an unkillable demigod that's basically dunking on armies of demons

That is the 100% the core idea of Doom lore.

Tldr: The doom marine was entangled with 'hell' and at some stage was tricked that his dead son could be brought to life by a some demon deal - he came back as twisted undead. Doomguy got really angry and his anger propelled him to destroy all that is hell.

> They are some of the best single player games I've played in years, but I was there with Id since the Commander Keen games and this does not feel like a Doom game to me.

I have some mixed feelings about Doom Eternal as it sometimes feels like a puzzle and bit gamey. But Doom 2016 is quite literally a modernised version of Doom 1.
My grade two teacher demonstrated "venn diagrams" one day, it absolutely blew my mind. She had a bunch of coloured shapes scattered on the floor, then put one hoop over the triangles, another hoop over the red shapes, and then, what to do with the red triangles? My six-year-old brain loved it when she put one hoop overlapping the other one. And yet to this day I refuse to memorize the multiplication table.

Rote learning is easier for the teacher: easier to teach, easier to mark. It's not just mathematics, it's all the subjects in school. Many of the "geniuses" merely survive school, nothing more.
It's just a matter of enabling the contrib repo
Oh! Neat.
The point of linters is that most of us can imagine up more interesting problems to deal with. So we welcome the consistency and focus on something we care more about.
You (and I) are clearly not the target market.

95% (guessing) of the people use their computer only for email/browsing and gaming. Apple is a premium brand for them, bought as a statement (I am cool, or something).

People pay premium for most things: clothing, watches, cars, etc. Many of these more expensive things we buy do not differ much of the competition, except for being a well known brand.
I agree with charging the "appropriate amount", but that's not what AWS and the other hosting providers are offering though. They are offering you a price that is vastly different than what it actually costs.

Instead hosts like Hetzner and OVH uses a price closer to the true cost for bandwidth for their users. Take a look at their dedicated hosting and the pricing. I'm not sponsored by either, but I am a happy user of Hetzner.

Check out this talk by Kyle Drake that goes more into the details of bandwidth costs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i6wvix6buI

While certain RuboCop rules do cause drama, you'd be hard pressed to find anybody who doesn't appreciate the existence of Rubocop. It is absolutely ridiculous to state that discussions around specific cops and their applications are equivalent to any sort of hatred for Rubocop's creator.

How is that related to the text-only style?
> , whether default or customized.
This comment comes with the the smell of the idea that there is a right and wrong way to format code, when in fact with, Ruby at least, there's a lot of nuance that can be added in the way the article describes.

I'm sorry you smelled that; I don't believe there is one way to do format code, but the opposite. I am saying that working in teams it's convenient to work to the team's style rather than your own particular likes and dislikes. Mainly avoid getting into code review Jenga about style preferences.
Well can you back this with data? I am french too and beside my mom nobody use MMS in my circle. We did like 10 years ago.
The ZFS site is more of a man page vibe to me, rather than retro/90s per se, as it's using some basic bold/underline and not just a pure ASCII doc. Maybe it's just designed for expedience, but I think it's a perfect fit for a service like this.

The original XP website is still online (http://www.extremeprogramming.org/) and worth a read.

Both are really good resources for understanding agile, where it came from and why things are done. A lot more emphasis on the engineering practices that enable agility in both compared to scrum and other recent agile processes.
This is what I'd _like_ to do, but unfortunately it's not well supported. As far as I know, all OSes store the time including leap seconds, so there's no way to go back to TAI. And even if it were, that time zone is not available in user programs.

edit: Oh, I see that it's available in Linux https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/clock_gettime.3.ht... . Can't find similar calls for Windows or OSX
Not all cops have autoformatters, though, and some formatters can cause breaking changes.

> Capitalism does not force you to create an immoral business, or to treat your employees (direct and contracted) immorally.

True

> It doesn't even really encourage it.

False

> Wanting more and more money regardless of the (human) cost does.

Capitalism is explicitly about encouraging a behavior with more and more money.

It's not immoral per se, it's just that humanity is not in the value function. That's where regulation/subsidy/taxing comes in.
this is one of the main things drew me into fighting games. the best of everything they have to offer is concentrated into a 90 second round. you don't have to sit through 10 minute corridor sequences or grind to the endgame to actually do something cool, you can play a first to five over your lunch break and walk away completely satisfied with the experience.

Why would you not want to try to inform people who don't already know that they want your service that your service might actually be useful to them?
The thing that you can write said code in a lot of different ways is not a fault but a feature for which Ruby is loved by many. As can be also seen from the article it lets a programmer to be neatly expressive in various different situations.

Now if you personally don't like this feature you should probably use a language which feature is that you can write a thing only in one way and no other.
Why not tell people that, then?
You are clearly not in the target audience and no amount of pictures, showreels, stock photos, flowcharts, emojis or chatbots would change that.

This service is not for you, move on.
Georgia is much more complicated. Georgia invaded the de facto independent state of South Ossetia. Russia sent troops into South Ossetia to repel the Georgian invasion and then chased Georgian troops into Georgia proper.

South Ossetia was an autonomous oblast in the Georgian SSR. When the USSR disintegrated, Georgia and South Ossetia fought a war, which ended up with a truce that lasted until the Georgian invasion in 2008.
not sure why you're being downvoted. SPA's have their place but I agree with you that they are being heavily overused.

I've seen plenty of applications that could have easily been a collection of server driven pages broken into an api and spa. I think it comes down to a few things where SPAs are great.

1. Programmers padding their resume. react looks more marketable that any server side templating technology

2. fomo, what if later we want to add something that needs it

3. seperate api/frontend teams, spas make seperating responsibility easier. two seperate codebases.

of course it has its downsides

1. you're maintaining a communication bridege between two different applications. This entails a context switch if you're a developer hopping back and forth.

2. more failure modes to handle. Only so many things can go wrong loading a page. If an SPA breaks, it can render the entire page unusable. You also need to have error. handling code for inputs on both your frontend and backend.

3. large file sizes to download. This one has been beaten to death but it still holds true.

Ive personally found a nice middleground with phoenix liveview. Its slightly more work than a tradtional page driven app while giving me teh ability to create all the features I was being asked for that before would have warrented an SPA. I hear livewire and stimulus reflex are great too.
They already discourage publishing apps for unrelated companies from the same account and want accounts to be associated with the content provider for each app.
Thank you for the great explanation to you and your coworker! The documentation by Oxford Instruments and the tour are really cool. As far as I understand, almost the entire construction is a kind of a cooler. The actual quantum processor is located at the bottom of the upside-down pyramid. To make it work properly, the construction should be loaded through a ceiling to a special room with no air. It takes around 24 hours to meet working conditions.

Agree that can be an issue. Often it's not worth the energy doing that. But without the linter there's a good chance you'll end up discussing the formatting in code review which doesn't really benefit anyone.
Tech is just one subject, there are lots of others which don't change as fast. And for tech you can define a search alias which defaults to the past year, for example, if you work in a field which changes very fast.
