"A group of friends who enjoy each others' company ought to build something together."

I just want to highlight this sentiment, it seems deeply correct to me. I also think that learning or creating with others is a surefire way to deeper and more meaningful emotional connection; it's certainly a dimension of friendship that I've paid insufficient attention to--in large part because it absolutely requires a more regular and sustained commitment than simply having a get-together every once in a while.

Docker and Kubernetes embody a number of design decisions that might be a good fit for some users (and for Google) but add more complexity and overhead than I usually need or want for my typical use case of basic isolation and resource limits.

Fortunately the container architecture is flexible so that you can use as much or as little of it as you like.

I also tend to think that if you want stronger isolation for security purposes then you will want a lightweight VM rather than a container (and if you are worried about side channels, probably hardware partitioning - good luck.)

There is some solace to be found in the fact that our world does not perfectly adhere to the ideals of a real meritocracy. While living in such a world may contribute to unfairness, it also enables you to be in a better position in life than someone who is more naturally gifted.

In fact, one might suspect that you're more likely to find moderately gifted individuals at the top levels of success than very talented ones.

From the micro point of view, a talented individual has a greater a priori probability of reaching a high level of success than a moderately gifted one. However, from the macro point of view of the entire society, the probability of finding moderately gifted individuals at the top levels of success is greater than that of finding there very talented ones, because moderately gifted people are much more numerous and, with the help of luck, have globally a statistical advantage to reach a great success, in spite of their lower individual a priori probability.

It worked for Brotli. As long as the server implements the proper behaviour (only offering it if the browser sends the corresponding Accept-Encoding header) I don't see why this would be a problem.

Sure, barely any server would ever use it, and it could introduce new bugs (or even security vulnerabilities), but there's nothing from a practical point of view that would block browser vendors from adding more compression algorithms.

It's not like Google, Microsoft and Apple are waiting for standardisation to happen. When Google at some point wants Web PCIe, it'll just appear in browsers once Google has finished it, same thing Apple did with WebGPU: as a PoC while the standard is getting finalised.

Mozilla isn't 100% standards compliant either, but it's introducing relatively few bleeding edge features. I think Mozilla is investing very much in areas other browser vendors aren't necessarily interested in, so I don't know any examples for them from the top of my head.

Like many scams, it depends on the victims being polite, perhaps more much than them being naive.

The fraudulent message asks for a yes or no reply but does not care about the answer spefically; only that there was an answer. So the victims are the people who couldn't ignore the message and had to say no. Most likely the people who say yes are still taken into account , because they confirmed there was a person behind the number. They'll get a new scam later on.

But the people saying no are the target.

A lot of people feel bad if they don't answer the phone, or a message, or the doorbell. So you prey on their niceness.

How to fight back? Don't. The way to defeat the scam is to not acknowledge it.

Tammany Hall was this party in New York for a long time. They just didn’t go away.

rpi4 8GB with the radxa USB-bridged 4 port card. 4x 2TB HDD. I couldn't afford SSD. Its Ubuntu ZFS. Not over-performant, but does the job. I run a single disk ZFS detachable for periodic snapshots. Really? I like the belt-and-braces aspect of this one. 4 disks should be reasonably safe for single disk failure and I have a snap monthly, albiet all on one platter. Not enterprise-grade safe, but good-enough.

There's enough grunt left over to be my plex headend as well as long as I avoid transcoding.

I actually wanted to run FreeBSD on it, but the rpi4 wasn't fully ported when I started. In the back of my mind, it should be "safe" to convert over because OpenZFS. Which is kind-of the point.

I avoided de-dup. It burns your CPU. But I think compression is worth it, even with a lot of mp4 and mp3 and jpg content (photo and live-TV PVR archives, aside from music)

There's a lot of FUD about ZFS on small devices, how much memory you "need" -I think something said of Solaris got conflated up into a ZFS "law" about minimum memory for the ARC which just isn't really true: it may not be performant, but it works fine on smaller memory (than 8gb) systems. I chose the 8GB pi4 because I could afford it. I would have been fine on 4GB.

Good piece, and something I've thought a lot about over the past year.

I am fascinated by the idea of risk pooling and companies like Pando that make this process simple. I think it's a great fit for groups of ambitious tech young folks, not just as a way to either reduce risk or capture increased upside, but also as a way to ensure that you will always have a group of extremely competent people looking out for you, even if it's out of self-interest. There are programs (OnDeck, Interact, and others I'm sure?) out there that to bring together groups of ambitious young people in order to build support networks, find co-founders, etc. but to my knowledge none of these programs give the participants any economic interest in the outcomes of their peers.

I went to Cal and the best thing about going to school there was the friends I made. I spent a lot of time with people who were clearly extremely talented and I (selfishly) always wanted to be able to ride their coattails if I could. The most common way to do this, of course, is to invest in their start ups. But even just 5 years ago, this was _much_ harder than it is today. First off, I didn't have any money, and even if I did, I certainly didn't have enough to write the $25k minimum check that most founders required, and even if I had _that_, I didn't meet the income thresholds for being an accredited investor and there were no alternative paths to certification.

This is less of a problem these days since younger folks can become an accredited investor through alternate pathways, and you can invest in startups at much lower thresholds thanks to products like AngelList's Roll Up Vehicles[0]. Yet, you still have to be invited to invest and I've been continuously surprised about how few of the founders I know want to bring non-strategic or non-famous people (aka their friends) onto their cap table.

Another aspect is that startup investing only allows you to ride along with your founder friends. What about your friends who join early stage startups, or breakout unicorns? Everyone wanted to hire engineers from Cal, and the Law of Large Numbers meant that it was inevitable that one of your classmates would be engineer #6 at Stripe or the first hire at Notion. This is almost as risky as founding a company yourself, but there's really no way for me to join a friend on that ride without an actual risk pooling structure.

The real question isn't the obvious, but what we find when, discovering that the obvious isn't working, we dig deeper.

Do you live in a community with these problems? Try speaking to the people there; you may learn a lot. They aren't fools who have never considered the issue; they are intelligent, mostly well-meaning human beings who nevertheless find themselves in this situation.

I'm not talking about the obvious, so please avoid pinning on me the anti-obvious ('I support litter!'). The obvious in this case is an obstacle, preventing us from seeing and addressing the reality.

Unions and also cooperatives. Unions to me are like holding a wolf by the ears. The capitalists don't want to treat their workers right but the union can demand it. Unions don't take start up capital to form so they are a good stopgap, but I see them as a short term solution towards full worker ownership, or ultimately community ownership as even non workers should have a stake in the means of production.

ZIL and SLOG are NOT a write cache. They are 100% about not loosing data. A ZIL is part of a zpool where data is written to when the file protocol requires sync. When it is written the sync is cleared. In this case you are sharing the zpool with all its others needs to write and read, so more load on the pool. The data is also in RAM given to the write aggregator process. The RAM is only written latter. If the system crashes before the aggregator writes the data, on restart the data written to the ZIL is read into the aggregator and then is written out to the zpool. By default the ZIL is never read. An SLOG is just a ZIL that is on a separate device from the zpool. So a sync write comes in and is written to the SLOG and not part of the spinning rust zpool so no shared resources with the pool. The sync is marked as cleared when the data is written to the SLOG. The SLOG should be really fast as the goal is to ack the sync quickly. Remember at this point the data is NOT written to the zpool, it’s RAM and the aggregator will write the data out later. Same thing applies on crash. Reboot, SLOG is reviewed for uncleared items, sent to RAM, written to pool.

TLDR - zil/slog are write devices where the data is written when sync is required and almost never read back. Data is alway in RAM cache and written out to the spool from RAM. ZIL/SLOG is not a buffer. Speed of ack sync will be as fast as data can be written to ZIL/SLOG.

Let me be clearer: Harris stated exactly what you said he didn't state. You either failed to click the link or dismissed it. That you do not agree with what Harris said does not mean he didn't say it.

> If Harris thinks 12 months is not enough, he can say that.

It's obvious he thinks that, and I'm pretty sure you know that, even if he didn't use those literal words. You're implicitly criticizing Harris for an ungenerous reading of deBoer's commitment ("obviously it's absurd and unreasonable to expect he really meant 'permanently' when he wrote 'permanently'"), which I don't object to -- but I do object to you not in turn extending the same generosity to Harris.

For whatever it's worth, I doubt "permanent exile" is reasonable, either. But barely a year later deBoer was writing for the Washington Post and the New York Times, publishing a best-selling book, and starting a newsletter that now brings in a six-figure income. Barely two years on and deBoer is writing, in so many words, "I've already apologized, why won't all you cancel-culture jerks leave me alone".

So, yeah, sorry: if I was Harris, I would probably be tempted to make a few tweets questioning just how sincere deBoer was about the whole apology thing.

> doesn't explain how Canada, Britain, South Korea & Taiwan all manage FPTP successfully as stable democracies

There's a lot of other factors in there besides the method of voting. People often compare the US to other countries over voting but ignore that the systems are substantially different. For example, the UK parliament (and many parliaments) has proportional representation. This is something we don't see in the US congress. And it is important to distinguish that presidential elections are vastly different than congressional/parliamentary elections. Then again, maybe this is part of the problem, that US is hyper focused on the presidential elections but nowhere near similarly engaged in the congressional ones.
> What there isn't is a good way to get a single subscription to watch anything you want. [...] So if you want to watch a really wide sampling of TV content, it can feel like we're going backward, since there's no more one-stop-shop.

This is the issue for me. My lineup of currently-"airing" shows requires subscriptions to Netflix, HBO Max, CBS All Access, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video. And I feel like I'm forgetting another one or two.

To be fair, these subscriptions, in total, do cost less than what I was paying for cable back in 2005 (last time I had cable).

I don't want one streaming platform to rule them all. A monopoly doesn't sound great. So ok, we keep the idea of several competing streaming platforms. I'm sure there are downsides to this, but maybe a legal requirement for compulsory licensing to competing platforms under RAND terms might help?
