My guess is bugs. Early on they had some serious bugs that lost people data. So the project gained this reputation of not being production-ready which meant that only people interested in playing with a new filesystem were using it. And btrfs has always been brought up alongside zfs which has been stable and mature for decades. As far as I can tell the only advantage btrfs has over zfs is the license. Outside of that, what does it offer that zfs does not? (That’s a serious question, I haven’t kept up with it because I’m a happy zfs user.)
Growing without bounds is kind of a defining trait of cancer. It seems pretty apt to me, although it's certainly also hyperbolic.
From the article:

"The HSJ says the plan it has seen lays out the priority groups for receiving the vaccine, and the dates they'll be offered it:

Beginning of December: Healthcare workers, care home residents and care home staff

Mid-December: People aged 80 or over

Late December: Those aged 70 to 80

Early January: Everyone aged 65 to 70, as well as all high and moderate risk under 65s
Mid-January: Everyone aged 50 to 65

Late January: Everyone else over the age of 18 (but most of this group would be vaccinated during March, the report says)"

Didn't realise it was paywalled, sorry.

From what you've already seen from the Rift, I would probably wait for the model with built in eye-tracking, a new lens technology (varifocal?) and either stand-alone or fully wireless PC linked. 2 more generations or about 6 years? I hope we get there before companies lose interest.
He had great advice but lost me towards the end when he started saying "The More You Read, The More You Distance Yourself From Others" and #10.

Seems awfully pretentious to assume that once you read "good" books, you're suddenly the intellectual superior of everyone around you?

I don't think the purpose of reading literature is to box yourself into your own intellectual bubble because you suddenly can't stand to talk about pedestrian topics with others.
I don't see any "throw a third carrier in for free" mentioned in that article.

The link says the savings from Newport would be $1.6B.

It also quotes the Navy acquisitions chief pointing out "about a third of the cost of a carrier comes from government-furnished equipment that the Navy would contract for separately" and that he previously said the overall savings of ordering two at once would be around $2.5B after considering similar efficiencies of "scale" from those vendors.

Considering the cost[1] of these Ford-class carriers is around $13B this represents a savings of about 10% overall, at least according to my crude, back-of-the-napkin math [ 2.5B/(2x13B) or 1.6B/(2/3x2x13B) ].

So it might be closer to "buy 10, get one free".

> Let's try your formulation in a different context and see if it works. Imagine someone saying this in the '50s

There are a number of enormous, relevant differences between these two groups, but more importantly I don't see any good, enlightening dialog coming out of a comparison between the plights of Jim Crow era Blacks and anyone else. It's like the converse of Godwin's Law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law).

> I assure you, Christians are aware of how poorly they're portrayed by the media, and aren't happy about it. It seems to me that this is one of many factors that led many Christians to support Trump.

I don't think they're "happy" about it, per se, but rather they're not offended enough to object publicly to it. And to be clear, I'm merely observing that Christians aren't as offended (or don't express offense as much) as I think other groups would be. I'm leaving it up to the readers to interpret this as thick-skin or weak-will or something else (I'm certainly not intending to imply any particular interpretation).
HomePods have AirPlay, so you can use that to stream arbitrary audio from anything that supports it (officially Mac and iOS devices, but there are various apps that have reverse-engineered the protocol to stream from Windows and Android).

Has anyone from a SE background used this? I come from data science so I and peers use Jupiter notebooks for everything. I've never used a proper IDE so I wouldn't have anything to compare it to. But I need to start wrangling in people's notebooks and am hoping nbdev does the trick.

I found the book underwhelming as well, and tedious to read. I cannot remember much from the part I managed (first quarter, approximately), except the idea that philosophy has made progress, revealed through the rhetoric device of having ordinary modern people teach and enlighten Plato himself on aspects of philosophy (eg morality of slavery).

Seems to me though that one could make that point directly just as memorably, without the entire narrative artifice.

Not as gripping and informative as the books of (her husband) Steve Pinker, IMHO.
You could buy 30 of them, at least one would be more reliable than the board discussed in the article.
He responded to me too, almost a decade ago when I was first getting into the field and looking for mentors. He had some great tips too (basically which was to not do what I was doing privately emailing devs asking for mentorship and instead get involved with the public open communities on via GitHub, Stackoverflow, sharing demos, etc). Obvious advice in hindsight, but took me a while to internalize that.
Well think about writing functions inside a repl or interactive environments like jupyter notebooks or just plain scripting. Enforcing type annotations add little value in those cases and end up making the language ill suited for such use cases.

Whole form type inference is actually a super power that allows for writing extremely expressive code without giving up type safety.
>Christianity is a unique religion in that there's a lot of people who claim to be Christians, but who hardly practice their religion or follow what is prescribed.

This isn't unique to Christianity. Hypocrisy and indolence are common facets of human nature, so they're bound to be common to the adherents of any particular religion.

Yeah - the onboarding flow (insta-results) only supports Twitter. Other platforms are polled run on a recurring basis and take ~10 minutes to show results, so when you create an alert you'll see stuff from other places.

Flying in a metal tube was a far greater pipe dream than what you're describing.

Look, we can barely lift metal, how can we possibly make it fly? You're being ridiculous, nobody has done it before!

I guess you're right, let me stop thinking and get back to hunter gathering, because science and mathematics is a bunch of pipe dreams that cannot bear any fruit!

You know what they used to call pipe dreams a few hundred years ago? Blasphemy. We already know what's possible - we have a book and it tells us everything we need to know. Well alright then, you've totally convinced me with your powerful arguments from authority mister!

The Observable runtime is open source, and trivial to integrate into your existing react/whatever webapp.

There is also a vscode plugin that allows for live editing and rendering.
It doesn't give you the ObservableHQ interface, but tbh I like working with files more.

DoH deliberately doesn't touch that problem. In 25 years of work, DNSSEC hasn't put a dent in it --- look at the stats on which zones are signed (and note that most of those signatures are security theater, done automatically by registrars).

The fact is that there's nothing you can do to authenticate DNS records, and turning some silly "DNSSEC" feature on in your own stack won't do anything but make you feel better, because DNSSEC simply doesn't have meaningful adoption. However, enabling DoH does in fact immediately protect you from attacks that really do happen, like ISPs monetizing your DNS.
> In most languages, "religion" will imply an ordered belief in a supernatural entity and set of accompanying practices.

What made it seem that way? I feel like the post provides a solid answer to the question asked in the title. Does it not?
The issue is mostly political and not financial or knowledge problems. How you accomplish that is government spending, and there's a certain subsection of the population that has been convinced that government spending is universally bad.

There are vested interests waging a war against the US building infrastructure because its ideologically against the narrative developed.

"Starve the beast" has turned any kind of fiscal spending into a huge political battle. It used to be, funding basic things was just a given. Now it's a fight over every little dollar.
I love democracy, but somehow there is something cloying about the use of "democratize" in this context.

An historically accurate game isn't much fun. For one you can't play as a female protagonist.

Some (many/most?) rp-games do not fix sexuality, allowing to choose any option available at playtime. The earliest that I remember is fallout 2 where you can play both guy and girl and marry/engage with both.

But it's unclear why you see that "sexuality being acted on" is problematic. It depends and is very situational, imo.

Tells me that I'm probably not wrong about Stadia. In fact, the notion that Google is going to provide refunds for games purchased on Stadia when the system shuts down is rather dubious in my opinion.

Google Play Music just shut down and they are not providing refunds for the music in your library, just a way to captively transfer them to some other service.

I think the best one can hope is that when Stadia dies, Epic is able to captively acquire all your licenses.

Thank you!

I did read Arstechnica's article in the past but I did not feel comfortable with their results... (I'm not challenging them, I'm just not sure if they're relevant for me or not).

So, I just did a test (ashift 12, RAIDZ1 with 4 8TB HDDs) and I got better performance in both cases with a 1MB recordsize vs. 128KB (all sequential).

Recordsize 1MB:

reading one 10GB file: 21 seconds.
reading 10000 1MB files: 83 seconds

Recordsize 128KB:

reading one 10GB file: 31 seconds
reading 10000 1MB files: 116 seconds

Maybe a small recordsize can have some benefits when overwriting parts of the files...mmmhhh...?

Ok, it seems complicated => I'll just have to test different variants :)

> everyone else thinks it's stupid.

As far as i see the philosophy fails to correctly abstract and incorporate modern advances in scientific knowledge and technological development. While such abstraction and incorporation naturally would take time and make philosophy lagging behind, the majority of philosophy don't even bother to do it and dismisses the reality outright, a very stupid thing to do.

The philosophy's role of being a guiding science on the bleeding edge of scientific exploration of the world have been lost by the "philosophers" as the hard work of understanding of scientific reality was replaced by pseudo-scientific hand-waiving. That hand-waiving is easily noticeable even by casual observer and results in total loss of respect.

More than 30 years ago a freshman at University i had a great interest in philosophy, the new market capitalism in USSR resulted in great availability of books, including philosophical one, and we had a blast. With years as my knowledge grew, i started to see the philosophy's failure to provide both - a well build abstraction as well as exploration guidance - and started to see it only just as temporary mind crutches, a band-aid for the lack of knowledge, like those Ancient Greeks' myths.

Depends on the tradition or school or however the divisions are named I think. I don't possess a deep understanding of Buddhism but I've visited shrines that are dedicated to different gods/bodhisattvas like Tara or another one I don't remember. Maybe that's different than a temple though, these were shrines up in the Himalya. And the line between deities and bodhisattvas or humans doesn't seem so clearly delineated as it is in Abrahamic religions. Buddhism and "Hinduism" are intensely complex and interesting religions or sets of beliefs to me.

Neither. For anybody curious, Northern Ireland is part of the UK, the Republic of Ireland is not. Great Britain is the island consisting of Scotland, Wales and England. The UK consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

So, you seem to have only met a certain kind of atheist. I don't really want to say more about that in particular because it feels like I will be accused of proselytizing. What I will say is that I think you're reading too much into what not believing in deities may or may imply about someone.
