I have a pretty low attention span, but know the answer to several of those questions without even having to go back to the page (though I will, for the sake of argument). This might not be the case for everyone, but for the way I consume information, the product is described pretty well.

1. What OS is this whole thing running?.

Listed under "storage" section:

OpenZFS + CentOS 8.2 (maintence support until 2029)
OpenZFS + Ubuntu 20.04 (maintence support until 2025)

2. How many drives do I get? What’s the point of ZFS on a single drive? Is this just a way for me to temporarily hold a file system?

Listed under the "storage" section:

We rent out KVM virtual machines with dedicated 8-TB hard drives.

Listed under "pricing model" section:

Rent out multiple drives if you wish to create a RAIDZ or Mirror ZPool.

3. I don’t remember all the flags for the various zfs/zpool commands so the example command means little to me. This seems to be the main thing explaining what the service is for, yet I would have to go and look at the man pages to figure out what it does. Best I can tell: I can send my whole filesystem from my local NAS to my drive in the sky, but why would I want to do that?

`zfs send` isn't exactly an exotic command, and while I can't blame you for not knowing each and every flag, does that matter? The site clearly states that you have a raw disk passed through to a KVM machine, which is pre-configured in a storage pool, but that you can configure it however you wish.

4. Why do I get root access to the box? And if that’s the case, why do I need it?

I agree that the unmanaged aspect of the service should perhaps be more prominently highlighted, but the site clearly states that you configure the machine however you like. To do that, root access is needed.

5. What are the details of the data center they are in? Or the location? Or how did they arrive at their 99.999% reliability?

I agree that more information about the data center would be relevant. The location of the DC is listed under "set-up time" section (Sacramento).

I doubt that. Simplified and (semi-)automated instruments have been around for a long time since there is legitimate interest in such tools from musicians.

The difference here is that people have a tendency to regard machine generated output as more "correct" (whatever that means). The same psychological mechanisms that make Level 3 autonomy in cars and aeroplanes so dangerous can lead to a future where a closed loop automated content generation (e.g. train the next gen GAN on output from the previous gen GAN) kills all creativity and conditions us to prefer the generated aesthetic.
It all made perfect sense to me. I'd argue it did its job very well. If you disagree, it probably didn't make sense to you and doesn't appeal to you and is therefore also doing its job.

I'd imagine people that are paranoid about these things wouldn't be sending their unencrypted data to third parties anyway. So there's that.

I'm a little skeptical to the claim that passthrough is so much faster than virtio-scsi or something similar. I'd imagine that the disk controllers and network would be the bottleneck. And as an added bonus you prevent people from doing shenanigans on disk firmware. We're talking about plate spinners here, latency isn't really what they're known for.
>What is the goal of consistency?

i don't know anything about linters or rubocop, but i do think you are wrong on this narrow point.

consistency is good in and of itself, it is not merely a symptom of your true goal of maintainability or readability as you mention in op.

id prefer someone/something that is consistently wrong to someone/something that is more often right, but randomly wrong. consistency implies methodology that can be changed and adapted, as opposes to simple mistakes that have to be assiduously monitored for.

you can train a person into a different habit and refactoring is much easier than bug hunting.
That’s exactly the kind of person I’d want for the job of making this decision. That’s good to know thanks

> I tried Unreal Editor a few years ago. The engine is really impressive, there's a ton of assets, high res textures, it's easy to create a natural looking terrain, but then bringing it to life is hard work and takes skills. Everything I built looked clunky, out of place, lacked details, lighting seemed off, it was rubbish. Minecraft fixes this problem. Everyone can build good looking stuff.

A lot of this is probably lighting. Lighting is hugely important for things to look good. Not just photorealism high-res whatever. Dynamic raytraced super expensive lighting looks good. Old school, fake lighting where everything is automatically lit is also good. Poorly configured lighting is very bad.

Minecraft has good enough lighting by default. Unreal does not. I don't care much about high quality graphics, but I don't think I agree with your hypotheses about lower quality being better for imagination though. It's just another sort of uncanny valley.

If you want the 1 minute laydown on good enough unreal light:
* Put a directional light in the scene
* Set it's property that says its a sun
* Set it to mobile (so it doesn't try to bake things)
* Add a sky atmosphere and set all of its light scattering colors to black (so it gets its colors realistically from the sun)

As a non artist, the lighting and atmosphere functionality of unreal is probably my favorite feature: https://youtu.be/SeNM9zBPLCA?t=932

Sorry for my ignorance, I am a backend developer and I am trying to figure out what is the best for my frontend code (when I work alone on something). So far I was using Tachyons (https://tachyons.io/) and elm-ui (https://elm-ui.netlify.app/). Is there a chance that Tailwind would be better for small / medium sized projects than these? Based on your comment it looks like. The only problem with Tailwind just by looking at the default settings was its size. I was reading somewhere that you can greatly reduce that. Your second point sounds pretty good (almost like a discriminated union for CSS)

I imagine you can get a similar effect with an underground bunker without travelling to the pole. You'd have to the bunker would have to derive all it's needs from a solar-cell-like electricity feed, and the solar-panel tech could probably be developed independently from the colony project.

I think that can be a dangerous mindset. Code readability isn't a trifling concern that you shouldn't care about in favour of more interesting things, it should be your primary concern as a developer. In almost every circumstance, I'll prefer readable code to something that's more clever, or even more performant.

Rubocop and other linting tools do aid in readability somewhat, but I agree that a lot of the time they can either focus on trivial concerns that don't really make a large impact on readability (things like which quote characters to use), and in some cases actively harm readability (the examples from this article).

Personally, my feeling on tools like Rubocop is that where they break down is often more important than the areas where they help (high level structure and communicating intent), and often the benefits of consistency in syntax are frankly pretty marginal, but I can get people having different opinions on this. There's certainly Rubocop rules I enable and get value from, but I do have quite a lot turned off and don't really notice much impact from it.
This is an example of mob rule. Each individual in the mob has a different goal. If Apple makes concessions about something they least care about they can still gain half the mob on their side. The rest of the mob runs out of steam and gets ridiculed. It's the textbook way of dealing with a revolution.
"Normal people" doesn’t have to refer to the whole population and I would risk that apple iPhone was a imminent proponent to the whole "smartphone" craze.

I don’t particularly like it but the "trickle down theory" non marginally applies to fashionable or otherwise luxury items. iPhone creating a desire later satisfied by a cheaper option. Or something like that.
From your description, probably not if you're just curious.

- Writing a book is a lot of writing--even if you do a shorter one. At a minimum, I'd start blogging on the topic before tackling a book.

- "create a strong resume" Under the right circumstances, the right book can add to a strong resume but it's not going to create one by itself. And books from name publishers in the space will have more effect--fairly or not.

- "some bit of passive income" Don't count on it. There are outliers but you're going to have to pay up-front for services like editing and probably design. (And these aren't really optional.) You may or may not earn the cost of those back.

I've written books and they've been useful reputationally. They're also a lot of work, I've been able to write them partially on company time, and they're a direct fit with my day job.

Imperial San Francisco is a great book. Years after reading it, I’m still shocked by the book’s account of how badly the environment was damaged by the gold rush. It was so damaging that billions in taxpayer money are still spent each year combating the effects over a hundred years later.
It's quite gauche to label jobs as skilled or unskilled so I'll make no determination. But I assume you're talking about the UFCW. I had no knowledge of this union before your comment; I will admit that it changes my perception of unions as a whole.
It is quite surreal at times living as an expat in Sweden. Especially the talk around masks is exceptionally weird. There was just an article on SVT (the website of the biggest swedish TV/radio), with a headline somewhat translated to "Experts still uncertain about the benefits of masks". The funny thing about the article was citing several studies, which all showed a benefit of wearing masks (and the article even acknowledged it), but then went on to say that those studies have not fully proven that masks work. That's still an improvement over previous news, which essentially painted masks as dangerous (which directly contradicted what every other country in the world found).

Tegnell definitely comes across as someone who can not admit to having been wrong. Regarding many things (masks, nonsymptomatic spreading, children's role in spreading COVID), he's always been saying that "evidence is still unclear" (even when WHO gave out contradicting advice), on the other hand he had no problem pointing to a study that attributed the different death rates between Sweden and the other nordic countries to different strength of the flu season. That "study" was essentially using two tweets as the main evidence.

All that said, I do think that there are things to be learnt from the Swedish approach. The the strategy of continuing school and kindergarten is one of them and Tegnell and others are right that we need to look at this as a long term crisis.
makes sense thanks!

Operating systems can and should implement DoH, not every single individual application (which can then decide to use poorly chosen servers and will have to get updated in the future for whatever the next spec might be). That the people who make operating systems put so little effort into this stuff that application developers feel they need to take this into their own hands is a travesty :/. (This is particularly annoying given that it is already the case on every operating system that if you want to use DoH and choose your DNS server you can easily do that as long as the software in question lets you by using the system resolver; it makes absolutely no sense to embed and hardcode this functionality into every app.)

(For more detailed complaints and arguments on this topic, I wrote a long comment about it a year ago.)

You've got the lore a little mixed up. Doom Guy was mad that the demons killed his rabbit Daisy after they invaded, and ended up voluntarily staying in Hell to kill demons after saving Earth. The Betrayer's son is the one who was resurrected as the Icon of Sin.
Mark those words carefully, because you are likely going to regret them.

To a degree it's understandable that those who are constantly bombarded by their own relentless propaganda fail to see that they are indeed the bad guys. But this machinery that has so many so thorough brainwashed, has no intention of stopping. Also, it will have to get increasingly more criminal to sustain itself.

As so many of these systems before it, it will eventually turn on itself (it is already doing that, big time) and eventually destroy itself from the inside out. Only the strongest believers will be able to hold on to their faith in being the good guys. Others will wonder: "Why didn't we see it (coming)", ignorant of how many outsiders did already see it coming for a long time. Either way, a lot of people will have a similarly painful realization as the Germans had after WW2.

Don't take my word for it. You will see.

The thing is, for probably a good majority of Rubocops rules, the consistency has nothing to do with correctness, it's consistency for the sake of consistency.

Whether you use ' or " for strings, or the %d shorthand or fully formed arrays in Ruby has nothing to do with the correctness of your code.

When these are trivial, it's not such a big deal - perhaps a bit of friction for developers, but not in a way that slows them down significantly. Rubocop does occasionally get into style rules that can change what your code is trying to communicate though, and those can often have negative effects.

So basically, on a planet whose surface is covered mainly by oceans, a meteorite fall in an urban area, is big enough not to disintegrate in the atmosphere and small enough not to blow the house and kill the man (I mean, what happened to craters?), and it suddenly makes him rich.

I'm not a religious person myself but I totally get why this man decided to build a church. I just hope he won't make it any weirder by proclaiming himself a chosen one or something, because there's room for that.

For those who read the comments before the article, the initial batch of comments are burying the lede:

> The new tensorflow_macos fork of TensorFlow 2.4 leverages ML Compute to enable machine learning libraries to take full advantage of not only the CPU, but also the GPU in both M1- and Intel-powered Macs for dramatically faster training performance.

This isn't about being locked in to some Apple framework. TensorFlow for Mac is accelerated again. (As Gruber likes to say: finally!)
Yup. I believe ZFS supports sending incremental snapshots without having the decryption key.

However, it become a pain-in-the-ass if you have recursive snapshots where only some of the datasets are encrypted. I think... in order to accomplish this, you need to send separate batches of snapshots... one for each set of encrypted vs. decrypted.

E.g.

/zpool/tmp # not encrypted
/zpool/home/someone # not encrypted
/zpool/home/someone/thunderbird # encrypted

$ zfs snapshot -r /zpool zpool@today

# this will probably bork
$ zfs send -v -w -R -I zpool@yesterday zpool@today | ...

# but this will work
$ zfs send -v -R -I zpool/tmp@yeserday zpool/tmp@today | ...
$ zfs send -v -R -I zpool/home/someone@yeserday zpool/home/someone@today | ...
$ zfs send -v -w -R -I zpool/home/someone/thunderbird@yeserday zpool/home/someone/thunderbird@today | ...

NOTE: I haven't fully explored this. But from experience, loading the key on the remote solves a lot of problems. The most import feature of encryption for us is encryption-at-rest. I just want to pull the AC plug and ensure that the data is protected.

I don't think it's a case of guard clauses being more or less readable in and of themselves. The point the authour is trying to make is that guard clauses convey a different intent from a standard branch. It's a way of communicating "this method is not relevant / necessary (or sometimes invalid if you're raising) for this set of inputs". If what the guard clause is doing is the "point" of your method, you're losing that intent from someone reading it, and conveying something else.

I don't think it's Rubocop's fault in this case - there's really no way that we can expect a linter to glean "what is this method really about". But structural issues like this probably don't make sense to use a linter for IMO.
