> During COVID about half my team of ~35 told me they hated working from home and felt their productivity had fallen significantly.

It’s pretty common for people to say what the boss wants to hear. It sounds like you like in person work. So I wouldn’t base too much important decision making on your straw poll.

Also, self reported productivity is a terrible measure unless you specifically want to measure feels.

For management decision, you should have some reliable basis that works to control for your biases.

Opinions differ, mostly on context.

Currency, commodity, record of debts, measure of value.

True. For now.

The panic happens during conversion before you have a chance to index into it.
With the code it should be easier to fake a client, download and decode that configuration. Hopefully some further experiments can be done with access to the real source.
I think it's often true at business level (most departments in a large company don't need redundancy and uptime they think they do),

and rarely if ever true at personal/family level (most people don't think their phone/tablet/laptop could lose their data; most people don't think of their data past photos they took this week - "Oh it's OK to lose... wait, my tax documents are gone? Photos of my baby from two years ago are gone? My poems are gone? My [.. etc] is gone???"?).
The advantage is you don't show something that laymen probably wouldn't want to change 99% of the time. That way they don't do it by accident and mess up their files. Not every user even knows what a "file extension" is in the first place. Or whether/when it should be changed. See if your grandma can comprehend that error message.
The article’s author only said RAID was useless in a specific scenario, not generally, and the post you’re replying to omitted this crucial context.
Huh? Can you point to examples? I can think of a few, but I am unaware of any field or approach that has this tendency less than Economics.
As a one man shop for the small company I work for this is great advice. Inspired me to create a new "read this in case of emergency" doc if I get hit by a bus.
OTOH I worked for several small companies that had "business hours" software - if you had to take downtime on the weekend or after hours you'd be looking at impacting <1% of users.
As far as I know, the USD doesn't have any intrinsic value after they went away from the gold standard - but again, people use all sort of measures as proxies for intrinsic value.
I have been using Kopia for some time now after switching from Duplicity. Very happy with Kopia. You can just point Kopia at a GCS or S3 bucket and shove files there. Easy to restore files. You can list snapshots and files and do partial restores fairly easily. Old data gets expired on a timeline that you dictate.

Duplicity was a pain by comparison. I think Duplicity has a number of design flaws that become evident once you use it for a while.
In my view that's just saying at some point in the future the company will be devastated. Nothing has 100% uptime.

There are broad benefits to having an educated society, this rhetoric about 'elite overproduction' has classist/snobbish undertones, in my view.
Makes you wonder if having a lottery system for firing people in a company at random would perform better than KPIs, or at least provide a baseline for KPIs to be measured against.

8-12 months severence / perf bonus, glowing reference for taking one for the team, and placement services. It's just like normal attrition, but makes planning a scam and consolidating a lot of anti-patterns way less viable.

"most database-like applications do their redundancy themselves, at the application level, so that...storage replication in distributed storage...is not only useless, but actively undesirable"

I'm sorry you’re going through this, I recognize it.. actually it's the first time I see someone else explaining the sinking and lack of 'click'. I’ve struggled for 2 years, but am slowly doing better now. I can tell you more if you'd like but I don't want to flood this thread.

[shortened backstory]

- Always had normal sleep, even in stressfull times
- 2 years ago, over the span of a few days my sleep went away: from 5 to 3 to 0 hrs. I then was awake for 2 days. And after that only slept max 3 hours for ages (nearly a year).
- I couldn’t take naps
- I lost all my energy (could hardly walk for 15), thinking etc
- had to chase after specialists to check things, and correct them on their assumptions... which was emotionally exhaustive.
- It led to them seeing symptoms of an endless list of possible causes, but they never found a culprit.
- One hypothesis was that I was struggling with the results of a virus, and basically was left with all kinds of damage.
- I was constantly asked about / advised on bed / food / daily routines, even though mine were identical to their advice (perfect) going into this, and I had been stress free.

[ on improvement ]

+ It’s hard to say if it helped me improve my sleep, since I continued to struggle, but a very strict (though fairly standard) bed routine did make me feel more in control:
* same time to bed every day, pre-bed routine of stretching the body, cooling my hands and feet, while in bed stretching the face muscles and ‘yawning’
* no exciting media or social meeting / discussions in the evening (or close to bed time)
* using an app to play the same comforting / funny podcast every night, and having it fade out after a set time (the Ricky Gervais show / pilkboys yt channel)
* For a while I developed my own meditation routine in bed

+ asked people to not ask about my sleep, just how I’m doing
+ be very open, forward, non apologetic about your condition
+ there might have been an influence of some gut problems I had, which were eventually treated by antibiotics
+ I’ve been prescribed temazepam and diazepam to at least calm my body down, and it made me feel closer to sinking into sleep – but never really went all the way. I got semi addicted to them, and hated the desperation I had to at least have some control over my body. After I got off them, and my twitches had declined, I only used temazepam if im on my way to a second sleepless night in a row. So I don’t reach for them on th occasional setback, but I’m glad they are there if it escalates.

+ I focus on daily activities, and excused myself from existential worries
+ I’m now up to 5 / 6 hours on a night, not necessarily of quality, but I don’t feel terrible every day
Once again, El Salvador is using lightning network which enable almost instant and practically free Bitcoin payments. PoS isn't perfect either and has it's own sets of problems.
Interesting... is the idea that this bridges the gap between whether something should be an email or a phone call? It happens to me all the time where I decide halfway through drafting an email that it should be a phone call, so this could be a happy medium.
Welcome to the cutting edge of finance where the money is all made up and interest doesn't matter!

> I don't believe that screening drugs based on effectiveness is a proper role for any government agency...Better would be for the only role of the FDA in decisions like this to be determining if the manufacturer is making fraudulent claims.

I think you come in with wrong assumptions. The FDA has little to no authority when it comes to off-label uses — doctors have a lot of leeway to prescribe drugs for whatever non-approved use they judge to be effective.

So the FDA's role already is intertwined with marketing. A doctor can today prescribe Viagra as a treatment to Alzheimers, but it would be illegal for Pfizer to market Viagra for treating Alzheimers until it gets FDA approval for that specific use.
I mean, maybe, but this comment is useless without some elaboration.
> I have some more questions (serious)

Contact the department of health education of the ministry of health. You already paid for it with your taxes, might as well make use of it.
I'll happily take slightly more expensive knobs, sliders and buttons over a touchscreen.

I know exactly where, e.g. my fan speed knob is and I can reach for it confidently. Or I can take my eyes of the road so I'm not blindly groping around the touchscreen to find the increase/decrease button, assuming its even on the right screen and I don't need to go through several menus to find it. Cost doesn't enter my mind in this scenario.
Why should it not be relevant? You also know the minimum and maximum rate. A lot of big international companies are in Zurich where the rate is ~21% and among the highest in Switzerland. There are obviously criteria other than taxes, such as personnel trained at one of the world's top technical universities (ETH Zurich).
They don't need to be software companies, but instead use a simple open protocol for this so that anyone can write software for it.
Obviously we can dodge the question of "Why can't [X] be treated as [Y]?" by saying "X is not Y", as you've done. If you ignore the point behind the comparison, and we say that "X is X", then there is no argument. Biogen still has time to do the trial to show effectiveness and is going through a process that is governed by the set of rules set forth for drugs (not herbal supplements).
Hardware caching raid controllers do have the advantage if power is lost, the cache can still be written out without the CPU/software to do it. This let's you safely run without write-thru cache fsync. This was a common spec for provisioned bare-metal MySQL servers I'd worked with.
I'm attacking myself as much as you, I have this problematic tendency to latch onto interesting sounding ideas.
I remember reading once that tech companies, on average, lobby less that traditional industries, such as fossil fuels and finance.

I wonder if the lesson they will take from this is that, rather than reform, they should invest more in lobbying. Considering how much money and influence on the public opinion they have, that's a rather scary thought.

Are you familiar with transfer fees for remittances? I sent $1000 to a friend in Ecuador and paid $1014 total. Will the transfer fees be below 1.4%?
ZFS needs HBAs. Those get your disks connected but otherwise get out of the way of ZFS.

But yes, hardware RAID controllers and ZFS don't go together.

We are currently converting our SSD-based Ganeti clusters from LVM on RAID to ZFS, to prepare for our NVMe future, without RAID cards (1). Was hoping to get the second box in our dev ganeti cluster reinstalled this morning to do further testing, but the first box has been working great!

Nothing is safe. It's always a trade-off. I guess people are downvoting you because they think you misjudge the trade-off.
24/32bit WAV is a bit more exotic/ambiguous than 8/16bit, it's supposed to use a different format identifier (WAVEFORMATEX) but sometimes doesn't, some software only handles one identifier, some only the other, the better software handles both of them... So I would tend to think that the DJ software just has incomplete 24-bit WAV support (which is no surprise due to this mess).
If you're in any other engineering field (EE, ME, etc), you're really not going to get a job without a degree. Compared to programming, it's like perhaps a 1% chance.

From what country or culture did you write this comment?

I have lived in East Asia for a long time. Office culture is a major benefit for young people (men/women/straight/gay) to meet partners. It is actively encouraged in many countries in the region.
That is a totally different story! No, I for one am not okay with that at all.
Can you give me an exact definition of "benefitting society"? That sounds a lot like the "real value" of things that salon communists talk about all the time. Count me a skeptic. Opinions about what benefits society differ vastly, and I'm not sure there could be a compelling "objective benefits" theory in this area. Society is what people make of it and how they and elected representatives shape the future.
I can smell and hear my co-workers from my cubicle just fine. In the floor I'm on we have accountants, developers, the help desk, people that write contracts, and our travel desk. There is a lot of competing noise about a ton of different topics. To those, including my boss, that say as remote we miss out on the overhearing about an issue and coming up with a solution, I present you that I overhear about how accounting is categorizing funding, or whether contracts need to have contractors submit insurance more regularly. The developers all have on noise canceling headphones and send chat/email. On really fun days someone cooks fish in the microwave in the nearby kitchenette, but usually it's just smelling the dozen or so cubicles around me.
Personally, for me, because the decision makers around me are spending an inordinate amount of time worrying and talking about ransoms. It's the overworn topic-du-jour, and I'm happy for something else to shift the news cycle.
I wonder what kind of situation your friend had going on in their house or their lives. Maybe y'all aren't as similar as you think?
We are built on WebRTC so it is completely browser based. And the UI/UX changes depending on the current block you are in. We aim to be simple and interactive for even untechnical first time users. So if it’s currently a Stage block you just enter the audience and the other blocks have instructions embedded into the design to make it easy to interact with others.
> You are 100% incorrect. Bitcoin is wildly deflationary. Therefore it does not encourage an economy to function

That a widely, blindly believed economist mantra without much basis.

People now don't want to spend money even at the time when interest rates are near negative.

The few countries still with relatively high rates, and credible economy are the ones which register growth.
Then hopefully everything is HA in your company.
> But that wouldn't help the officials who pushed this get rich from their stash of bitcoin...

The price didn't move much after the announcement. The whole point is to attract those who have already gotten rich from their stash of bitcoin to come to the country.
I was hoping this was a comparison from the consumers point of view rather that total capacity.

Does anyone have a comparison of the actual latency, throughput and reliability of these networks?
I'm trying to figure out the costs. To back up my NAS at full capacity, I need 10TB of storage. Using S3 Glacier Deep Archive, that seems to cost $10/month per full backup image I keep. That's not bad.

What's confusing is that the calculator has "Restore Requests" as the # of requests, "Data Retrievals" as TB/month, but there's also a "Data Transfer" section for the S3 calculator. If I add 1 restore request for 10TB of data (eg: restoring my full backup to the NAS), that adds about $26 for that month. Totally reasonable.

However, if "Data Transfer" is relevant, and I can't tell if it is or isn't, uploading my backup data is free but retrieving 10TB would cost $922! Is that right?

This is what has always deterred me from using AWS. It's so unclear what services and fees will apply to any given use case, and it seems like there's no way to know until Amazon decides that you've incurred them. At $10/month for storage and $26 if I need to restore, I can just set this up and I don't need to plan for disaster recovery expenses. But if it's going to cost me $922 to get my data back, I've got to figure out how to make sure my insurance is going to cover that. This isn't a no-brainer anymore. Also, what assurance do I have that the cost isn't going to be higher when I need the data, or that there won't be other fees tacked on that I've missed?

It can, if you set a disk as the hot spare for that pool.

But a disk can only be a hot spare in one pool, so to have a "global" hot spare it has to be done manually. That may be what that poster was doing.

I literally just don't believe that this is a real problem. Old school laptop batteries were large, but how much of that is really needed? In theory you could add a connector and be 90% of the way there. Put a panel on attached with a simple screw and you're golden.
That’s a nice way to describe anti money laundering and tax compliance laws.

> Most exams were simply open book.

As I've been out of school for a few years now, I've realized that the memorized material from school fades unless you use it regularly. It boggles my mind that we still effectively test students on memorization ability rather than research and synthesis abilities, even in 'hard' sciences. Sure, there are some processes, procedures and standards which we expect professionals to just 'know', but that should not be the vast majority of knowledge tested.

Plus, in the 'real world', I'll happily hire an engineer who doesn't know how to solve an interview problem, but can adequately describe how they'd go about learning how to solve it. I'd trust that person not to just go with their gut or what they think they know, but to rather do some research.

Granted, mass cheating, copying answers, etc is still wrong. People should still have to 'do the work' so to speak.
On mobile, watched the creation demo. At the end you said scroll down to see the attendee experience but I couldn't find it. Looks slick though, best of luck.
There is a vast gulf between what is preached and what adherents do or don't do. Knowing human nature, I think all religions have suffered abuse in the form of having peace on paper, but inciting hate through opportunists.

In Arkansas, specific laws were in place to disallow gambling at any establishment besides Oaklawn (a horse racing track), and Southland (dog track).

As a self-described pedant – albeit, one who’s trying to be less of a perfectionist – I’d say it manifests itself as a 19:1 ratio of being critical of my own writing over anyone else’s.

When communicating textually, I try my best to read my emails and other text messages to look for mistakes, ambiguities and other sources of confusion before pressing “Send”. It’s only on rare occasions that I’d bother correcting someone else’s mistakes or misconceptions and I’d be more inclined to do so if the misconception is popular and leaving it to stand would reinforce the spread of the misconception.
