mkfs has an option to reserve a %age or # of blocks/inodes for root of a file system. It's the file system equivalent of empty files.

Usually when free space is exhausted, it's for non-root users. You get that same "time to fix stuff by deleting the file" by using tunefs to change that root reserved space to zero.

Plus have /var/log on a separate file system and make sure that your log rotations are based on size as well as time.

Of course! But do you put all your trust in your monitoring, 100%? You've never had monitoring fail for any reason at all? You've never had a server fill up before you can respond to the alert?

This 8gb file idea isn't to replace monitoring. It's to offer a quick stopgap solution so you can do things in a hurry and give yourself a little extra "out" when things go awry. Because believe me, they WILL go awry. And if you're not prepared for that eventuality, then I don't know what else to say.
And when they removed the discussion filter from searches, so that looking for opinions on a product from blogs/forums suddenly became next to impossible without being inundated by results of shops advertising that product.
The technical cost of leaving that filter in place would have been zero, but apparently there were other priorities; that was the day everything cool I associated with Google ceased to exist.
I'm definitely curious to see what they end up using. If the solution ends up involving choppers, there's obviously the question of tensile load specs for all the involved parts (the chopper itself, the cables, the containers, wind considerations, etc). I don't imagine they would have enough equipment with sufficiently large specs just laying around in case of an emergency like this, especially on such a large scale (recall we're talking about airlifting truck-sized loads, possibly numbering in the hundreds or even thousands), and it's not clear to me what kinds of forces the choppers are designed to withstand, especially if we consider lateral forces due to wind or container geometry or whatever.

This was my though, winchers/dozers etc pulling back the angle it went in on a high tide. Of all the solutions suggested this seems the simplest and easiest materials.

For anchor points they could easily weld additional steel plates/rings at numerous points on the hull for a many lines spread out.

Maybe place some cables under the front section attached to airbags. It would not lift it off the sand but may help with downward pressure on the pull back + the excavator work.

Also cant you vibrate/aerate sand to make it have a liquid effect? Might help pressure but no idea how that could be done at scale required... winches and cable seems easy to access fast.

Not so sure about that collapse, the keel of the ship is currently supporting all of that weight and seems to be holding up just fine. It's essentially a suspension bridge at this point, but I agree that it is probably better to unload evenly, however, that will add another very substantial time penalty. If the ship would break (which I have no idea at what load imbalance that would happen) there would be a delay a lot longer so it may be worth it to play this extra safe. But there is a very large amount of pressure on the people there to get this resolved.
>"Silicon photonics is the study and application of photonic systems which use silicon as an optical medium.[1][2][3][4][5] The silicon is usually patterned with sub-micrometre precision, into microphotonic components.[4] These operate in the infrared, most commonly at the 1.55 micrometre wavelength used by most fiber optic telecommunication systems.[6] The silicon typically lies on top of a layer of silica in what (by analogy with a similar construction in microelectronics) is known as silicon on insulator (SOI).[4][5]

Silicon photonic devices can be made using existing semiconductor fabrication techniques, and because silicon is already used as the substrate for most integrated circuits, it is possible to create hybrid devices in which the optical and electronic components are integrated onto a single microchip.[6] Consequently, silicon photonics is being actively researched by many electronics manufacturers including IBM and Intel, as well as by academic research groups, as a means for keeping on track with Moore's Law, by using optical interconnects to provide faster data transfer both between and within microchips.[7][8][9]"

[...]

>"Silicon is transparent to infrared light with wavelengths above about 1.1 micrometres.[53] Silicon also has a very high refractive index, of about 3.5.[53] The tight optical confinement provided by this high index allows for microscopic optical waveguides, which may have cross-sectional dimensions of only a few hundred nanometers.[10]"

> The funny thing is, chess is patterns that your brain won’t see at first. That is why it is recommended to start with small drills rather than the full game for the first year, so that the current state of a game seeps into your subconscious, and moves become reflexes.

This makes no sense to me. I never heard of chess beginners being recommended not to play the game for a year, if that's what the quote is saying. Sure, beginners should learn basic tactics and endgames, but even the strongest players still practise tactics and work on endgames. It feels a bit lost in translation. (Maybe it's a Russian thing, but I've heard/read a lot of Russians talking about their early chess days and never heard about that method.)

Also, I find the page very hard on the eyes. Way too many different fonts, formats, font sizes. Too much white space. It gave me a headache before I was halfway down the page, I found it very uncomfortable to read. Great idea though.
Yeah, it's interesting that they present two choices, but not my preferred choice, thus leaving me to wonder why their options are supposedly superior. E.g. out of

result = someFunction(firstArgument, secondArgument);
result = someFunction (firstArgument, secondArgument);

They view the second as easier to distinguish the function from the arguments. I agree. But then again, I generally might write that like so:

result = someFunction( firstArgument, secondArgument );

Which I think accomplishes the same purpose, and as a style has the added benefit of making KV pairs more distinct if you group them:

result = someFunction( argX="foo", argY="bar" );

> I don't find Gorsuch's quoted counterposition convincing.

Gorsuch called the court’s opinion “novel” and “mistaken.” The majority “holds that a criminal suspect can be simultaneously seized and roaming at large. ... In two centuries filled with litigation over the 4th Amendment’s meaning, this court has never before adopted the majority’s definition of a ‘seizure.’ Neither the Constitution nor common sense can sustain it.”

Sounds a bit like Schrödinger's cat dilemma. Can a suspect be considered "seized" while at the same time roaming free? I think that was his point. You can't really expand the notion to attempted - doesn't it have to be one state or other?

I understand if you're locked-in to using Git for work so don't have a choice in the matter. But given the almost frictionless path to trying Fossil for personal or open source projects, I don't understand the "everyone already uses git" stance. If everyone took that position with rcs or svn, everyone wouldn't already be using Git today. I appreciate the non-developer concerns, but directing laymen to one place, to one repository file, to one executable binary to use a piece of software and/or to contribute to a project, might also deliver better results; it's difficult to definitively say without trying. I can only confirm my own experience, but surmise it would be a similar better experience for most others too.
If you've come from java and you like node, maybe you should spend some time with the alternatives?

A big part of it depends on what your exact requirements are but my experience with node didn't bite me for quite a while.

1/2) my experience is that even the supported packages have had glaring holes where they don't in other languages. Just to give a quick example, I had a project that used node-cache-manager to implement a tiered cache. There was a bug (in the cache library with the most stars) just last year where the cached values in a memory cache were passed by reference as opposed to copied. That meant any mutation on them affected other fetches from the cache! That would never happen in java. This particular bug took weeks to debug in production because values were being randomly mutated. After the fix, it also had different behaviour for when the cache value was new vs when it was retrieved. So two mutation bugs in the same cache codebase see https://github.com/BryanDonovan/node-cache-manager/issues/13....

I'm not blaming the author, he's a really good guy. What i'm saying is this is a wart both in the language and the library ecosystem - it's not unreasonable to expect a sensible caching library.

3) I agree that threads aren't necessarily the way to go. But can we agree that a language that CAN efficiently take advantage of multiple cores would be better? It's not just for your application. It's also for any compiling eg. typescript!

> Just check out the recent GitHub report where they were accidentally leaking information from other users into their sessions.

Concurrency is hard! except in a language where it isn't. In elixir each "thread" (erlang process) would get a different copy of the data so this type of bug doesn't happen.

> Typescript (combined with autogenerating typescript type files from GraphQL schema definitions) has been honestly heaven for us, and the benefits I've seen with the structural-based typing of TS made me realize the huge number of times I had to battle the nominal-based typing of Java and the immense pain that caused.

That is an interesting assessment. I've never really noticed a difference in practice between structural/nominal type systems to the extent that i didn't realise typescript was structural. Normally if you have multiple classes implementing the same structure, you want an interface anyway to make sure they don't diverge i.e. there is a higher purpose for them being the same.

Would you have an example of how this would be a deal breaker?

I think besides this aspect, Kotlin might be up your alley.

> If you're socializing with co-workers you're also not working.

Only in a narrow sense. If anything employers in our industry tend to deliberately encourage employees to socialise (within reason): casual contact is important to help different parts of the org chart break out of their silos, liminal spaces are an important route for information that might be suppressed over normal channels, and almost everyone knows at some level that you can't do 40 hours of productive programming per week. The way I see it, a certain amount of socialising on the clock is win-win.

> One of the problems is the 8 hour work day. I don't want to be forced to spend 40+ hours a week with co-workers. That is why people aren't having healthy social lives. Work is draining their time and energy.

I don't disagree, but don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Given that I do have to work 8 hours/day, I'd rather humanise that time as much as possible than refuse out of some sense of accelerationism.

Attached winchers/dozers pulling back towards the angle it went in on a high tide. Seems the simplest and easiest materials to get in a hurry.

Consider placing cables under the front section attached to airbags. It would not lift it off the sand but may help with downward pressure on the pull back + the excavator work.

Also I seen if videos of people vibrate/aerate sand to make it have a liquid effect? If realistic, drive a bunch of pipes connected to pumps to again soften the sand to help as they pull it back. Not sure how realistic this last bit is so maybe keep digging manually is the better...
These practices are called "Facilitating Payments" [0] (as opposed to bribery) and they're explicitly allowed by laws like the FCPA [1]. It seems strange for them to be legal, but the distinction is that you're merely expediting the work of a bureaucratic official that was going to do the work anyway, if perhaps more slowly. When you start paying decision-makers to make high-value decisions in your favor, that becomes bribery and it gets illegal very fast. (Although there can be a lot of gray area involved.)

The fact that these practices are technically legal doesn't make them less odious, IMO.

I agree. Kavanaugh’s argument seems to be that it’s not seizure because they did a bad job at it. If the police arrest you, you can argue in court that it was wrongful. If they chase you, shoot you, stick you in the trunk of a car, but you escape, then there was no seizure so you cannot sue.
