>1. This seems very, very cheap per-TB compared to other hosted storage. Are you making any compromises here that your users should know about? How do you explain the price difference between this and, for example, a Hetzner storage box or rsync.net?

The compromises seem to be spelled out in the description in a fairly straight forward manner. There isn't flexibility beyond 8TB storage blocks, and it defaults to just one which in my opinion is fairly useless for ZFS, you lose some of the real self-healing and safety advantages (yeah you can have copies within a single drive, but that halves/thirds your space just like a mirror and it'll be slower and with less redundancy than just two half sized drives in a mirror). So basically double or more the pricing there. The data transfer limits and pricing on that is also somewhat higher, so not for high churn. I'm assuming that "1 TB included" is per month, so for offsite replication essentially there'd be a "loading fee" per drive, then bandwidth is covered going forward if churn is less than 1 TB/month. And even in the best case they don't claim you'd be able to saturate even 1 Gbps, so loading will take a while. At 100 Mbps bringing an 8 TB pool to ~3/4 would take around 6 days. There is no SLA, appears to be no autobackups or anything like that.

The pricing could use some more clarity too. Under rent-to-own for example, it's not clear what the pricing is after you have covered the drive(s). Not clear what payments they take and through what service. I wouldn't personally put keys there either, but since ZFS supports raw send/receive there is less need to trust the far side unless your metadata is sensitive as well.

So basically it's ultra bare bones, for cheap.

Which isn't a bad thing to have in the mix. I'm happy to see more space for people to experiment with very minimal focused efforts that lean more heavily on ZFS itself to try to economize vs traditional models. Personally, right now this is still a bit farther on the rough side of the line then I'd feel comfortable with (I'd want to at least have a vague idea of who they were and where exactly the data center in question is). But the basic idea is a neat one, amortizing something someone wanted to do anyway.
That’s probably a false positive.

"Linux native is not in the cards"

Sorry I'm not in the loop.. but why is that? Does the hardware somehow preclude it?
To me, it's an integral part of celebrity. We expect them to be role models, give up their privacy and generally hold them to higher standards, so why shouldn't they be able to use their fame to support something they believe in?
This is an opinion commonly held by people that know that if you want to coexist peacefully with other people it's better to not talk about politics, religion (and money if you're French).

If nobody ever settled the Vi vs Emacs debate there's absolutely 0 chances we're going to settle more complexes debates with real life implications so it's better for everyone's enjoyment of our global community if we could agree to keep politics were they belong and not everywhere.
The Daring Fireball review of the MBP had this to say about the fan ...

"The two machines are equivalently fast in a sprint, but the MacBook Pro will win a distance race. But Apple doesn’t call it a “fan”. They call it an “active cooling system”. That sounds like a marketing euphemism, but it’s not fair to call this a “fan”. It is something else altogether, and nothing at all like the cooling systems in any previous Mac laptop.

I’ve never once heard it in an entire week.

Never. Not once. Not a whisper.

I presume it has engaged at times when I’ve taxed the system. Again, the Cinebench multi-core CPU benchmark taxes every available CPU core for 10 minutes. But if the active cooling system has kicked in, I never heard it. I’ve never felt any air moving out of the vents, either. This is nothing at all like the fans on Intel-based MacBooks, which, if you’re not familiar, you can definitely hear, to say the least."

https://daringfireball.net/2020/11/the_m1_macs
Awesome, that's the one tombstone on https://killedbygoogle.com/ I've been waiting for.
>On a laptop with the same Intel chip, but with a proper cooling system that doesn't peg the CPU to 100C instantly, I bet a lot of the performance gap would vanish.

On the other hand the M1 doesn't even have a fan, so there's that...
When I was in undergrad, I declared a math minor quite late - just before my junior year. This led to me taking up to 9 hours of math credits in a semester. The reason I declared my math minor was because I was interested in going for a PhD in economics and my econ professors all recommended that I try to take as many math classes as possible to prepare. Reader, I was not a 'numbers person' at all.

However, in all of my math classes, I asked questions all. the. time. when I didn't understand. I would go to office hours and the teachers were seriously so helpful. This was the only way I survived. I learned that you don't have to be a 'numbers person' at all to be good at math. You just have to understand what's going on under the hood, and this may require lots of questions and outside help. But most importantly, you just have to practice. I ended up graduating with nearly a 4.0 for my math minor.
I would be strongly surprised if ad-blockers keep working on Youtube indefinitely. And further, if youtube-dl continues to work.
Everyone here understands the behaviour of the battery. At issue is the way the customer experience is handled on top of that behaviour. Pretending otherwise is simple condescension.

Apple has already fixed the problem in a satisfactory way, so presumably it wasn’t impossible after all.

You are making here general claims from specific cases. It's a logical fallacy. Moreover your claim about Gasan Gusejnov is taken out of context. He said: "кроме того убогого клоачного русского, на котором сейчас говорит и пишет эта страна", i.e. "apart from that sordid and cloacal Russian language in which this country speaks and writes now". It is clear that he didn't mean the Russian language as a whole but the form of Russian language used in oral and written public communication lately.

I was aware of the json parser and it did put me off the naming. Unfortunately jq is the most obvious name. For example there is jruby/jython. Longer term when a stable version is reached I would like to change to it's own name as eventually the goal is to extend the current q language. jq++, jq# :)

Any suggestions?

And so, all the people that would provide support for their family and friends due to using the same hardware split paths. And now those Apple users have to go to Apple for support. A double win for the corporation.
That's too pedantic. Floats are not exact real numbers because they cannot represent most reals exactly.

There's no need to use a float operation to see this inexact behaviour - floats cannot even represent most reals that humans can write in a computer program. If you write `0.1` in your programming language of choice such that it gets treated as a float, the result is not, in any way, exactly 0.1.
Can I ask how you got into using q/kdb? I've been using it in my current work, partly because it's well-suited to the table-oriented work I'm doing, and partly just because I wanted to learn it. But have no idea where to find opportunities using it.

I just looked into the search console for the first time in forever, and I'm not sure how Core Web Vitals would be pushing for unnecessary JavaScript. A website consisting of 100% static content seems to be fully okay according to their metrics - but funnily enough, some months ago they claimed that 50% of the pages were served too slowly on computers, while 100% of pages were OK on mobile. Same static server. Now it's the other way around, they randomly say that a random selection of pages is too slow on mobile, and it changes every day. Maybe it's just their own connection that sucks? It also doesn't help that they keep using acronyms for the broken stuff that aren't explained everywhere on the page itself.

> Australia doesn't have nukes because they don't want them

I don't think you did any investigation before posting that,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_and_weapons_of_mass_...

Australia didn't need a nuclear power industry during this era, it was a major coal producer and nobody cared about emissions.
This is a good general rule but this still breaks down. For instance, I say "I'm going to the bank". But really this means "I'm going to a branch of the bank that I bank with". The same occurs with words like theatre, mall, etc. I kind of think this is a holdover from a time where towns only had one theatre, one bank, one school, etc.

It would be correct to have a conversation like:

> Let's go to the mall.

> Which one?

> I don't know. Do you have a preference?

Then we have places like "school", "work", "home" where we drop the "the". If we say "I'm going to the school" this implies that we're going for a different reason than normal where we'd say "I'm going to school".

Proper names don't usually have "the" in front of them but then we say "The Ukraine" and "The Philippines" and "The Yukon" as if we're distinguishing them from other Ukraines.

My wife is non-native English speaker so I encounter this a lot. I understand the confusion of this. Plus a lot of other languages don't think this way. When you grow up in a language where you don't care about specificity while you're talking, it becomes pretty difficult to start thinking about it later in life.
Everything is political. Your ability to ignore that fact is one element of privilege. People without that particular privilege have never been able to separate politics from the rest of their lives, it was never the "norm" for them.
I saw that (snazzy guy video?) as well. Thing is, that video was explaining how a highly integrated system can perform better when software optimizes for it. These Macs will only see better performance as more software is optimized over time.
For sure. Certainly not ideal but better than naught.
I think it's more fair to say comparing a bmw 3 series and a toyota supra. Both are good cars but one is known for its premium finish and quality, and the other for the customization possibilities you can have. :)

First, I appreciate the experience differential between macOS, Windows and Linux. I've enjoyed each, and have no major complaints about any.

With the right hardware, I've really enjoyed installing and using Linux, while I struggle when drivers for networking have to be procured - I'm not experienced enough in that area to figure it out (or rather, I'm not motivated enough.)

For me, Windows and macOS alike just work and while I've had more issues with Windows, it's because I've used it 100x more often and thoroughly; a price I pay for the ease of getting into games. (I am not speaking about right now, a moment in time, but the decades through which I gamed.)

In my career, I was largely a developer of Microsoft-focused technologies, and the support for tools was always sufficient or better.

Anyway, to my point, the parts of the software and experience that would pain me would be the things I couldn't control, and the things that were meddled with. I avoided pre-configured laptops if I could, and if I couldn't, I would do a clean install of the OS immediately. With desktops, I could select the best performance/experience/price (including reliability, features, etc) compromise for each compatible component, assemble it myself, and have not only a perfectly customized kit suited to my personal tastes and needs, but also the experience of learning and building on my own.

Now all of that is irrelevant if your preference is either just very strongly what comes from Apple, or you're only looking at complete systems and comparing them. Since I can be ambivalent about OS, except for gaming, and the experience was quite good (for me, not for everyone, obviously), I could pick a Windows-compatible laptop that gave me the best "features for the price", or rather, great hardware for the price without too much software meddling (or meddling I could remove.)

Now, does it sound like I don't consider the experience, or that I'm buying hardware because of insecurity? It certainly does not seem so from my perspective. To say a "feature list has no meaning" is to claim that the features do not contribute to the experience, but that isn't accurate. Of course you have to understand how an experience is derived from a feature, or that feature list can't be used to aid in your decision-making process.

I don't have a specific position on the use of DoH, but from a personal point of view I don't like that an application makes this choice for me and sends DNS traffic to providers I might not trust.

However, as a system administrator, I don't see in Firefox the equivalent of dig and nslookup: if a user reports an issue with Firefox, how can I ask him to verify which IP address a domain name resolves to? If I ask for a nslookup or dig result, I can no longer be sure that the OS resolver is giving the same answers that Firefox is returning.

That is definitely not the point of the article. In the author's experience he has a direct loss of functionality, like the throttling or the inability to install not verified software.
What's the issue with having TLS-based authoritative lookups? I know it seems out of scope for what Mozilla's asking, but it seems like the missing piece of the puzzle to me.

It's great if your recursive resolver is trusted (maybe you trust cloudflare or nextdns), but what if you don't trust anyone and want to run your own TRR? From what I can see from my own TRR the queries to authoritative DNS are sent in the clear...
Edit On further thought, I realize that querying myanimememes.com's authoritative DNS CAN reveal which site you're interested in, but I believe most sites delegate their authoritative DNS these days to third parties.
As a content consumer I see this as a positive thing for me.

A few months ago when YouTube decided to auto-add ads on all videos, my watch time on YouTube decreased by more than 50% since I consume all video content on either my phone or my tablet (where I don't have access to AdBlock), and I find the amount of ads I have to go through to watch a video so annoying that I'd rather not watch it at all.

As a result I spend my free time on Coursera or listening to audiobooks instead and I log in to YouTube once a day to have a quick scroll through the subscriptions page to see if there's anything worth watching. Keeping the amount of ads in mind and the stress they cause me, I am more selective and will often not click on a video that I previously would. And I don't mindlessly binge-watch video for hours on end any longer.

With the new monetisation coming in place, I can see my consumption of YouTube declining even further to the level of Google - use it as a tool, when you really have to and not just for entertainment. And I welcome it! Just thought to share a perspective of a consumer rather than a creator.

On the other hand I do understand YouTube's move. After all, it's their platform and they're not running a charity - people often forget that it's not their birth right to use a company's product or a service without paying for it one way or the other.
Maybe that’s a region dependent feature, but my YT only marks YT-supplied ads in yellow on the timeline. Videos with a sponsored segment (as in, “this video was sponsored by ... checkout this amazing product of theirs”) only show a small banner at the start “contains sponsored content” or something similar.
>Which games do you use as reference for "Contemporary shooters", and did you actually play them?

> A pattern I see each time there are discussions about games, is to compare games in the past, actually played, with contemporary games, as observed in reviews or youtube videos (which, additionally, biases towards AAA-games, since they have more coverage).

+1 to that. A lot of AAA games are designed with every moment being a handcrafted experience. That is, some sort of scripted thing is happening that couldn't happen organically by normal mechanics. Older AAA titles tended to just produce a solid set of mechanics and just let them speak for themselves.

But there's plenty of good stuff that still leans into that approach.

I mean, that’s a reason content-creators wouldn’t want it, not a reason YT wouldn’t want it.
I do. I have always intercepted 53 and 853 and route them to my Unbound DNS recursive server. Unbound caches requests, blocks known malicious domains, then forwards the requests over a vpn mesh to other unbound servers that talk to the root name servers. The weakest link of course is that the root servers do not talk TLS yet. DNSSEC can be useful for zones that are signed.
Not in their entirety, but it still downloaded a second for each of those videos. Interpret that as you wish, but I will not be surprised if RIAA will use this.

Yes, what a big lucrative market: relatives of people who run Linux on their Macs that dependent on them for support
