A low latency metadata server is good, but you still have the latency to the S3 server, e.g. Amazon S3 (from your README.md).

Now you could say, that I could host my own S3 e.g. MinIO in the same DC, but then I could also simply deploy Ceph, which is battle tested for years up to the petabyte range and with iSCSI, S3 and FS interfaces.

So I think this project might give the wrong impression that you can simply combine a Redis with Amazon S3 and then have a good FS solution available, which is unfortunately not the case.
Then you've misunderstood their point. Their claim is there's a zero-sum occurring.

A + B + C = 0

So that if A goes to A+1, with the sum still zero; then B,C must reduce.

This thinking is mistaken as applied to an economy. The stability of this mean (ie., that the rate of change of the mean is zero) does not imply that anyone is loosing out.

It is entire possibly, and likely, that the effect is caused by different rates of loss and gain that are not competing with each other at all.

Speaking of which, I need to mention Internet Comment Etiquette on YouTube.

Years ago he released a video on the Mandela effect, and then about a year ago he recreated the video, scene for scene, with subtle (and not so subtle) differences, and then deleted the original. A few people had mirrored the original, so it's possibly still findable.

That's currently my best example of an entertainer playing the long game for a punchline!
> I think the idea is that these fundamentals could/should be supplied by the standard library

There is basically no limit to the number of data structures possible, nor to the possible implementation details of most of them, all of which can be relevant to the situation at hand.

The stdlib can hardly be expected to implement them all.
As I understand it, the main developer is much more enthusiastic and has a vision of what the project should be. Gnash is a desktop Linux app first and foremost, and someone having a coherent vision is a rare phenomenon in the Linux desktop community.

But then frogs have less food, which means snakes can eat less frogs. Or something like that.
So, the intended use in this case is most likely appalling, but just to answer your question anyway... a hypothetical automated medical diagnosis device may use “race” as a factor, given there are small genetic differences (e.g. sickle cell) that may influence medical decisions, and different ethnic groups do seem to have different patterns of illness (e.g. differences in Covid mortality rates that aren’t explained by socioeconomic status).
This futureshock is a result of the rapid pace of new features implemented within commonly used libraries and immediately used by devs. The rapid pace is good for commerce and servers but it's bad for the desktop. Commerce pays almost all the devs (except those wonderful people at debian) so futureshock will continue. The symptoms of this inbalance in development incentives versus user incentives express themselves as containerization and vendoring.
Glad to hear that!

The CIA stopped responding to FOIA with zip disks ages ago.[1] I would expect a hundred megs or so of pdfs/scanned documents to be on a CD-R though; much less expensive than per page copy fees. Can't tell if the disc in question is actually pressed or a writable disc; the label is offset a bit, but not enough for me to get a good idea of the underlying color.

> I can think of a few truly mass sightings

All of which occured before the advent of ubiquitous hand-held cameras, security camera footage, and dash-cams. Can't help but feel had these been captured we'd have found simple explanations for each, and people's memories of them would be less malleable.

Re the naval sightings, the article you've linked to says "experts emphasize that earthly explanations can generally be found for such incidents".

Most interestingly, the captioned video:

"That footage, published previously but with little context, shows an object tilting like a spinning top moving against the wind. A pilot refers to a fleet of objects, but no imagery of a fleet was released."

A kernel of truth + some imagination.
One forum I'm on has a very strong community standard of "This place is like a local pub. If you show up mouthing off you'll be called on it by the regulars who may all look like they're shit talking each other, but who have mostly spent time together in real life, and who as a group have each other's backs against outsiders. If you keep it up you'll be asked to leave, possibly if needed by the managers (forum mods) who'll ban you for a short or extended time."

It works remarkably well for that particular group of people. It's almost certainly turned a lot of people away who _may_ have pulled their head in and become contributing members of that community, but largely they don't care too much. The forum has stayed small (it was recently characterised only a bit unfairly as "12 cranky old cunts" by someone who wouldn't/couldn't live up to the community standards there.)

You can reboot the system to take care of the reload. That's vastly simpler than updating all dependent programs, especially since updating dependent programs would likely come with other changes that you may not be ready for.

And yes, this is mostly useful for taking bug fixes, which most mature libraries release without API changes.
Honest answer (no trolling or bad intent):

I let all important photos be made into a photo book. None of the available backup strategies are robust, safe and future proof enough for this task (I'm talking about pictures of my family, kids etc.).

Moreover, my experience is, that if you have them in a physical book, you tend to look at them way more often yourself and with others.

Bonus point: I only have to do it once per picture. No need to migrate to another backup strategy, another provider and so on.
> What makes you say that about the UK?

Same problems as the US. We have a two party state, which means very broad coalitions, no real choice, and a lot of unheard voices. Just like the US, we have suffered deindustrialisation as companies shipped production overseas, encouraged by our politicians, and those people who lost out have no way of fighting back. Their resentment has grown to the point where it is now finding expression through Brexit and populists like Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson.

Proportional representation provides a "release valve" for angry minorities, in that new parties can form. Some people think this is a danger, because they see those parties gaining some real power, but what usually happens is their supporters see the realities of political compromise, see some gains, at least feel represented, and the anger recedes.

The first place we're seeing the cracks is the UK leaving the EU whilst NI has not, and support for Scottish independence on the rise.

More pertinent to your reply: without a constitution the flexibility is simply exploited for party political gain, which often destabilises the country. Similarly, the trend has been in recent decades for the executive to increasingly take power away from parliament, which has proceeded unchecked. So some of us envy your constitution and the lack of gaming in e.g. the timing of elections. And let's not even get started on the "ceremonial" royal family...

Well, the Switch is also the only real choice for portable console that gets full-fledged games.

A smartphone hardly competes with it with its spammy mobile game stores, lack of dedicated controller, and lack of single hardware target that has developers actually making games for it.

Smartphone + controller is so uncompelling that I've literally never seen someone playing that way in the flesh, and I bought a Switch with zero interest in Nintendo games. And since developers can't assume you have a controller, mobile games are stuck in this very superficial built-for-touch limbo that limits what they can be.

You're missing a lot if you think a Pixel + Razr controller competes with Switch even after removing all Nintendo games. That's to suggest that mobile tap-interface gaming competes with Switch/PS/Xbox games.

Just consider the difference between Skyrim on Switch and Blades on iOS/Android. That's the chasm I'm talking about.
I don't think these are too unlikely.

Shame about CentOS. Never used it myself, but I know many IT-provider do use it as a base for their infrastructure. Perhaps devs can nudge them to Debian.

Falun Gong has gained an enormous amount of mindshare and respect through their network of Youtube channels and early jump on reporting on the CCP over the past 10 years.

To understand how credible they are, the CCP regularly sends their US reporters death threats.
Yea, this is definitely the way. Stop at a logical stopping point. Leaving at the point where a task or sub-task is completed ensures the next time you come back there's a logical next step for you to begin.
A good friend of mine, who came to Europe when he was 17, once said to me: "in Africa you see things that you just can not believe as a European".
He told me how in places without electricity, small villages, really "creepy vibes" exist.
For example one story where, in broad daylight there is a cow lying on the side of the road. Blood runs from the cow across the road to the other side. It's not broad daylight there, it's pitch black where the trail of the blood ends. The sky, the street, everything.
He says almost every African from smaller areas knows these experiences.

In the West, such things are horror stories. Another friend kind of jokingly said it might be „due to radiation, which affects the crazy energies of nature“ in the west. That‘s why we don‘t have these sightings.

I know, no scientific contribution, but finally the possibility to share this story in a proper forum.

Because what makes me think: my friend is smart, not crazy and told it very convincingly.
At least in such a way that I believe that he has seen it.

That doesn't make it real, I know, but kind of scary for a European.

In corners of South America without infrastructure I have also experienced very strange situations and felt the darkest energies, had the weirdest encounters and strangest hallucinations...

Anyways, i am glad that for me, these are just stories. I don‘t want to be the guy that has one of those encounters and then has to either forget about it or fight for his credibility.
>This is utter nonsense. For example, abridging a company's right to not "associate" with minorities/gays/etc, i.e. their right to not serve them, is not anti-liberty. If the goal is maximizing liberty, it takes targeted regulation to achieve the maximal state. Ensuring everyone can participate in the economic and social infrastructure is a feature of maximizing liberty

I didn't realize that I needed to specify that this didn't apply to protected classes[0]. I assumed that was understood, but I guess not.

Yes, there are a number of groups (see link) which individuals and businesses are barred from discriminating against. But in this circumstance, that's irrelevant.

Because political affiliation is not a protected class under federal law, and even where it is (CA, NY and a few other states) that only applies to employment issues, not business-to-business contracts/transactions.

The right to political association has never been abridged, nor should it be. Any suggestion otherwise is, as I said, anti-liberty and anti-democratic.

Political choice is a bedrock principle of our system. And forcing anyone to support a political viewpoint they do not wish to support violates both settled constitutional law and the ideals of a free society.

Nitpick about protected groups if you like, but there's no "there" there.

The law is the law. We are a nation of laws. We are not a nation of "do what hackinthebochs wants."

> I don’t think NN would have done anything to address the coordinated deplatforming of a Twitter competitor, right?

It would have encouraged a new Twitter to rise earlier than now. So yes it has an impact on the current deplatforming. The solution to private companies deplatforming is competition, at whatever level it takes. Without NN protections in place it is much harder to build out that competition at any level.
The only rationalization I can imagine is that providing whatsapp potentially prevents the emergence of a competitor who steals users from Facebook through their chat service.
> Often times in a datacenter 10GE is recommended for network storage solutions, not because of bandwidth (which is also important), but for the 10x reduced latency of a 10GE NIC.

Totally true. In those cases you also need your filer _not_ to compress on the fly, and not deduplicate objects... unless your hardware can do it for you.

... I remember horrible performance on VMs with images stored on a oversized netapp filer, because someone enabled deduplication and compression instead of using 1 of the 4 spare drives (when it was HDD).
Depending on where you live (American here), there may not be very many venomous species around at all, and typically they're easy to identify. I'm in the high desert of southern Cali for instance, and in my area the only dangerous snake is the rattlesnake. All the other ones are harmless. I don't relocate rattlers tho, I have pets and a toddler, so they get the shovel =)
If by "reload" you mean "drop in an updated shared library and let the runtime loader do its job", I suppose so.

Yes, it only applies if you don't make any API (and ABI) changes, but that's what major, minor, patch versioning is for, and stable projects can go a long way on minor and patch versions...
Hmm... but if I zoom into 1980 to say 1995 I see a similar noisy set of data points and no obvious upward trend. But no one ever said there was a pause then.

I grew up in a village in India and snakes are no strangers. People do kill snakes (also worship them on a certain day of year) if they get into the house but usually they try to sho them away towards the fields.

The usual experience is that they leave you alone if you leave them alone. Unless the only place they can find the food is your house. There is always a probability of fatal biting if a venomous snake is in the vicinity. Catch it and leave it away from the city whenever you can.

* Going to a political protest can traditionally involve bringing a gallows.

They are not linked, even though both things involve a gallows. Political protest commonly involves nooses (here is a really good one [0]). That is totally normal symbolism after a US president is voted in.
