Well that's mysterious. I have a similar but smaller system - two EVO 970s on a 4x4x4x4 PCI card just like you have (I planned on adding more if it went well). I went through similar issues benchmarking it about a year ago.

At the end of the day, I found that with ZFS it was just very difficult to bypass, avoid, turn-off, etc. all the caching. The machine I was using has a lot of RAM. I had to reduce the RAM to like 64GB with a boot option to even see what was happening. I was still never thrilled with the numbers I got.

Then, finally it dawned on me: with enough RAM, and an efficient filesystem like ZFS, the underlying storage is only a small part of the equation. The important thing is that your benchmark is accurate to the real world workload. If the real world can use a lot of buffer cache and RAM, and it makes it go fast - then good, use it like that. Which I did, and was happy, and forgot all about it.

What we want to avoid is fio saying you have 100GB/s and then in the real world you don't see nearly that and are disappointed. To me benchmarks serve two purposes: comparison and prediction of performance with a reproducible test case, for example compare the effect of ARC cache size setting. Second, diagnosing whether the hardware is working correctly and as close to ideal.

So I did see some stuff vaguely like you are seeing. I remember being impressed at ZFS and how hard it is to benchmark because it tries so hard to cache efficiently (or whatever). Unfortunately it was like a year ago so I don't remember more details.
No intermediate directory/file at all, all done on the fly.

sudo zfs send -i <LAST_BACKUPED_SNAPNAME> <CUR_SNAPNAME> | gpg -e -r <YOURKEY> --compress-algo none -v | pv | aws s3 cp --storage-class DEEP_ARCHIVE - s3://<PATH_TO_DEST>.zfs.gpg

The very first time you do it, you will need to do a full backup (ie. without the `-i <...>` option). Afterwards, subsequent backups can be done with the -i, so only the incremental difference will be backed up.

I have a path/naming scheme for the .zfs.gpg files on s3 which include the snapshot from/to names. This allows to determine what the latest backed up snapshot name is (so the next one can be incremental against that). And also use when backing up, since the order or restore matters.
I've recently watched this talk that may help you profile better : https://youtu.be/r-TLSBdHe1A
I'm paying over $1000/month through my employer for a high deductible health plan. So I'm contributing to an HSA on top of that.
Surely, you could provide some photographic evidence (own or other sources) that prove your comparisons then?
This was so obviously going to be a troublesome weather day that the local tv stations had canceled previously scheduled scheduling for the day after and replaced it with news.

Everybody knew some shit was gonna go down.

At the very least giving your employees the option of staying home without fear of reprisal is minimum necessary for a clear conscience.

I saw amazon was hit in this storm, knowing somebody who got fired for calling out because a tree blocked the only road out of their area, I guarantee there were people who only showed up because they feared being fired and they wanted to stay home during this but couldn't.

Companies need to answer for those lives.
> If that really is the case, unlike in the commuting form of suburbanization, then service businesses will follow those people, if they are allowed to.

That would require these areas to be zoned for mixed business/residential, which very few suburbs are.
Linux distros often ship xz out of the box. I’ve never seen brotli in the wild. YMMV of course - I am sure there are exceptions.

I’ve used brotli myself, but only as it’s included in some parquet read/write libs.
I think the Californians are going to be first on the chopping block. They're expensive and what can they do that a bunch of midwesterners can't? I think international teams are a given in both cases.
You still have the sensor challenge either way. Decision-making could be centralized, but that likely requires everything to follow it - a mix of 50% controlled and 50% human-driven cars would probably be a mess.

I think you sort-of get this, in industrial environments with self-driving transports (both small ones in warehouses and truck-sized ones on mining roads etc). There it's relatively easy to ensure everything is known to central control, access control helps with non-vehicle hazards, ... For public roads, this level of integration seems hard to achieve anytime soon, and would also be a larger trust issue that everything actually supplies accurate data and follows commands. Big standardization effort.

I think there's also been a few public prototypes of self-parking parking garages, but there similar things apply: only for a limited type of vehicle with the necessary support, humans kept out of the building, ...
I'm a very happy daily RSS user, but we ought to be upfront about its ginormous deficiencies:

- every day I deal with broken links and broken images because my feed reader doesn't know from which URL it should resolve relative links

- there's no pagination mechanism, or way for a client to ask for "all posts since last Friday". If you want your feed to always have all posts available, you need to include the entirety of your archive in every feed response.

- if I want to follow any link I get kicked back out to a bloated web page

- lots of posts include iframes, or content that only makes sense with JS enabled

- XML

Despite this, I still love RSS. It's what we've got and we should continue to make the most of it. But it also sucks, and it's not any surprise that mostly only technical people use it. I think feeds are pretty much doomed to keep breaking and disappearing. Many of the replacements or pseudo-replacements that people come up with seem fine, but the problem - as always - is getting people to actually use it, which mostly never happens.
Apparently open standards can “become obsolete technology” now.
Yes, it requires a population that appreciates the local amenities to the point of paying more for them. Lots of these people exist, even if they aren't the majority of people. It's just that right now they are concentrated in the dense part of cities. But many of them would love to live in a bigger house if they could still walk to amenities, and would still be willing to pay more for the privilege.
Southern CA has all of that, why not just move there?
Can I trade this for civilization prosperity in rust(optional)?
I don't care how big my house is. The idea of being locked inside like that sounds absolutely awful to me.
I think a lot of people are seeing what they want to see in this. Once a company figures out how to leverage a developer in the Midwest as effectively as one in the Bay Area what stops them from hiring in the Dominican, or Mexico or South America? I've worked with fantastic developers from those areas who can effectively work on the same timezones, communicate well and write high quality code.

I know personally, I've seen a lot of hiring shifting to Latin America in the last 2 years. I don't think this is going to be the midwestern/southern renascence that people think it's going to be.
> There's no rational business reason to keep a factory operating during extreme weather.

That's easy to say in hindsight, but it depends on a few factors IMO.

> How extreme was the expected weather that day?

> How much of a lead time did the area have that actual tornadoes were coming?

> Was there any government advisory telling people that it was highly recommended to head home that the factory ignored?

> If they acted immediately, would there have been enough time for all people to get home?

> Were the workers informed of the situation, and did they prefer to head home or stay there?
We had a rule at my old workplace that any shell script that's over a page of code was to be replaced with a Python script. We chose Python because guaranteed there would always be an up to date version of Python on any cloud machine we used, but you could certainly make a case for some other language. In a vacuum, my choice might be Scheme.
Just learn the accent before you move there, and don't tell your neighbors where you're from.
I grew up in the country, used to live in the suburbs, and currently live in Chicago.

Yes, we could afford to have a lot more space that we personally own if we lived in a less dense area. But no, I don't miss it. I don't feel cooped up in a small space where I live right now. Nor did I feel cooped up living in a college dormitory, for that matter.

I do feel cooped up in a small space when I'm staying with friends and family who have palatial homes out in the suburbs for any length of time. My sense of how much space I have at my disposal changes drastically when I'm in an environment where the only space I'm allowed to use freely is space I'm personally owning or renting.

It hits my kids even worse. For them, one backyard, even a big one, is simply not enough room to run.
and yet it continues to have an incredible economy and provide enormous numbers of people with homes and food. If it did any better, it wwouldn't be the 7th largest economy in the world, it'd be the 2nd.
Latest 3.6, single node, WiredTiger storage engine. The fact that it’s severely outdated is exactly the point we are making.

I don’t know if it’s possible to override the version of a Debian package’s specified dependency - although I also don’t know if mongodb 5 is drop-in backwards compatible with a client written and released against v3.6.
While I agree we don't really know, I think it is quite likely to have a negative effect.

Take, for example, these comments, which are full of people who have left NYC, a place where you can function entirely without a car, and moved to places like Texas and Florida, where you, for the most part, cannot. Sure they might not be commuting anymore (which was likely by public transit anyway), but they are now driving several times a day, likely relatively far distances, when they were not before.
Even if you get Google employees to see (which you almost certainly have now), it's frustratingly difficult to escalate this sort of issue internally. While I worked at Google (not in YouTube) I'd tried to escelate this sort of issue on several occasions and gotten absolutely nowhere. It really seems like the only way to get help is to go viral and raise enough of a stink that they're forced to help.

I wasn't even able to get my one of my best friends' access to their account restored when they had all the correct info and the automated account recovery form was breaking with absolutely useless error messages.
More like Google, Mozilla just waits to see if Google is going to implement it since they can't think for themselves.
There are 2 advantages I see...

1. Many great workers either won't or don't want to live in SV. I've known a bunch of them, over the years. Moving more development to where these folks are brings them in to the fold.

2. The people in SV don't represent and aren't regularly interacting with most of America or the world. They are in a different bubble. The majority is part of the out group to them. Hiring people in distributed places means you hire people who are more likely to interact and relate to the majority. Relating to people that will use technology is useful when building solutions.
In my city (Seattle), you never know if a mob is going to set up a month-long occupation outside your building, whether unregistered sex offenders have set up camp in your doorway (can't roust them), every road puts cars first, and the school is removing gifted programs for being racist. I'd love to live in a safe, well-managed, urban city. I don't believe any exist in North America.
So in rural America you definitely give up access to top-notch medical care, but I'm relatively healthy currently, and if we drop our household income, we start to qualify for subsidies. My wife only just started her career, 17 years into our relationship, so she's going to start ramping up income over the next few years, and that will hopefully cover any unforeseen issues.

I actually tried retiring this year. I paid to go to university in the UK in a very cheap place to live, but we had a few people in our family pass, and we decided while everyone is aging, we should stick around.

>big fan of your blog posts.

That is so kind of you to say. I'm a big fan of writing them... once or twice a year when I finally remember a story worthy of writing.
I'm not sure what you are talking about? The electricity sector is getting pretty clean in the UK. Lots of wind, a bit of solar, a bit of imported hydro. Coal is all but gone. Gas is the big remaining polluter on the grid. The transport sector is going electric quite rapidly, just like elsewhere. Basically a done deal in the UK. Probably over with by 2035-2040 time frame. So "never" has largely already happened and will have completed happening on a pretty predictable timescale.

As for your numbers, you might want to check them. Reality and your numbers don't seem to line up. Your predictions are worth even less. We're not even close to running out of lithium. There's plenty of it and we can recycle it endlessly once we get out of the ground.

Also arguing for nuclear with weak arguments like you are presenting here is probably not helping that case. You are basically doing what you are (wrongly) accusing the journalists that wrote this article.
It's not cherry picking to mention the thing that makes a fundamental component of the UNIX philosophy work.

> (ii) Expect the output of every program to become the input to another, as yet unknown, program. Don't clutter output with extraneous information. Avoid stringently columnar or binary input formats. Don't insist on interactive input.

When the tornado sirens go off, you have at most a half-hour of warning of an approaching tornado, and generally fewer than 10 minutes. With that level of warning, you don't have time to tell your employees not to come in--they're either already there or are on the way. (And if they're on the way, then they probably need to execute the "get out of the car and hide in the ditch" phase of tornado preparedness anyways).
Are there live demos that could be embedded instead of (or in addition to) the animated gifs?
I suspect what you have will quickly built flats (apartments) that are targeted as investments
While that can still be true, lead times have gotten much better in general, and Mayfield actually had over 2.5 hours of warning from KPAH[0], which is remarkable. But 45 mins or more seems to be the norm these days, at least in my general observations. Local authorities choosing to sound the alarms as soon as the warnings are issued is perhaps another matter.

Edit: Someone else commented elsewhere that the current average lead time on TOR warnings is 9 minutes, so I stand corrected. Some of this probably depends on the storm mode associated with the tornado.

For a supercell, the radar signatures are pretty clear and distinct, so it’s easier to provide earlier warnings. A tornado embedded in a QLCS is more difficult to detect, so I’d expect advanced notification to be more difficult.

And yet people hate it. I agree that it seems good in theory. In practice, it seems quite bad (because again, people hate it). This is one of the things that makes me less convinced about universal healthcare proposals than I innately would be. They also seem much better on paper, but if in practice people would hate it, then that would be a bad outcome.
There is a solution which balances site owners' need to track with a respectful consent UX (e.g. no immediate consent prompt): https://transcend.io/blog/defeating-cookie-banners

Many sites prompt right away because they want to begin tracking right away. Transcend Consent transparently converts all unconsented web tracker emissions into local tracking, which can be replayed later with consent.

Instead of prompting for consent on first visit, these prompts could be integrated into the sign up or checkout flow in a website.
You speak as if these issues have not been studied to death a generation ago already. Jensen’s “Bias in mental testing”, a nearly 800 pages volume full of references, covers it rather extensively, and it came out 40 years ago.

What makes me self assured here is that best counter arguments to the body of scientific research I read on this topic that I hear is people musing about some hypothetical IQ tests that might possibly ask about baseball. I mean, consider Raven’s progressive matrices. It’s not the best IQ test (for reasons other than knowledge bias), but it correlated very well with WAIS and Stanford-Binet, two most popular and arguably the best IQ test. It asks for no knowledge of baseball, regattas, or anything else, in fact, it used no words at all. How comes that it nevertheless gives the same results as other, allegedly biased IQ tests? What exactly makes it biased, and why in exactly the same direction as other tests?
CentOS Linux 8 is about to die. What do you do next?
I do believe that online feed readers will only pull the feed once per x minutes for all their subscribers, instead of pulling the feed n times per x minutes.

For example, all of Feedly's subscribers will only count for one pull.
Biochemical cascades in just one cell are very complex, and involve very large molecules. They are triggered by changes in solutions of these very large molecules, heat, and immuno cells. Tissue consists of billions of cells. These are "just" chemical reactions which we still haven't come close to getting right, such as the right dose of blood thinners to prevent clots from afib while not causing brain bleeds, or the right dose of statins that reverse artery plaques while not destroying your liver or the right dose of beta blockers that lower blood pressure without diluting your kidneys.

Gene space is extremely large, close to a cosmic scale. At first genes were only thought to play a role in cell division. Then came gene expression and transcription inside and outside the cell, such as protein receptors and secretion. It is very likely genetic mutations do not rely on "just" chemistry and take into account quantum effects. Despite mapping the billions of genes required and structuring them all the right way, you still get unexpected runaway mutations, because genetic molecule outsides do not represent the insides, it's impossible to determine, and impossible to configure.

Genetic molecules may not exhibit quantum behavior. Likely they do regards to genetic mutations. But neurons certainly do, in regards to their chemical and electrical synapses. I have heart disease. 10 months out of the year I'm barely consciousness. However my family members say I'm still in there somewhere. Compare this to my heart disease is cured, but family members fail to recognize me anymore, adamantly agree across the board I'm not me and now won't have anything to do with me. With mice, you can kill them by the thousands until you get one that glows in the dark or has a human ear growing out it's back. You're left with an incredibly large set of genetic and neural data you will never fully understand, never know its complete, and never know if it has been recorded correctly as that one mouse's body decomposes, and then dump it all in someone else's lap and ask for more money and more privileges to do this to everyone in the world.

Science is still very incomplete and what it needs is often directly opposed by the legitimate needs of people, such as not being horribly poisoned. It's still very much trial and error: "Hey, this guy got by with it. Let's try it on someone who's dying. What have we got to loose"? And also opportunity, as in "the Earth will experience an interference pattern of gravity waves as two neutron stars collide in front of a series of black holes acting as a divider. Get the data." Science still involves much hope, as in, even when you lack opportunity, rules of decency still apply.
There isn't enough water for a "waterworld situation", the icecaps have been completely gone in the distant past and there were rainforests near the poles.

There also won't be a singular event that will be over, coasts are going to slowly walk inland.
I mean, I can appreciate the snark (CO born and raised) but the who "Californian" really hit the peak in the 90's. The next wave was Texas, and now there are so many people moving here it's hard to pinpoint a majority. Ironically, I'm very strongly considering leaving because all the things I love(d) about Colorado are being destroyed now.
Show HN has a major problem with that these days. The comments that are just like "perfect timing! I have never seen a resource for this and I'm just learning it now" are really facile, no one actually interacts with people selling you things like this, and it's contrasted starkly with the one comment giving feedback on the page which is that it has no content at all unless you buy it.

I find it very hard to believe the ratio of happy purchasers already seeing value vs. questioners about what this really is being 5:1 or more. Sad to see.
As an European with extensive knowledge about government budgeting and costs, I find the naivety of most people regarding European healthcare systems incredible. There is not enough money in the world to deliver the promise of the European hc systems and there is no serious reporting on the results to make people aware of the gap. Most people believe healthcare is readily available, free and unlimited, none of these being completely true and the overall picture being completely not true.

I always thought the pronouns were fascinating, just because of the level of intentionality implied in picking one. It's like if in English I deliberately chose to say "I, a tough guy, did X" (which I gather is the approximate equivalent of saying "ore wa X"...).

And part of it is what public schools are doing to our kids. My 6 year old is required to sit outdoors to eat her lunch in 40ish degree (F) weather, and is not allowed to socialized. My 5 year old has to wear a mask 7 hours a day against an illness that doesn't kill kids. I'm at my wit's end with these school administrators. Hoping to be in Wyoming in 6 months' time.
I don't think that follows. People need proper nutrition, but they can get by for an unreasonable time on sugar cereal and microwavable Salisbury steaks. The prevalence of cheap, nutrient poor meals is not an indication that people's need for nutrition doesn't remain. It's only an indication that suppliers would rather make a cheap, highly profitable good with marketing to convince people it fills a need than to go the less profitable route of actually providing for that need.
First, C++ has changed SIGNIFICANTLY since then. Second, Linus is wrong.
The automobile, refrigeration, radio, and the telephone all blossomed in the 1940s and early 50s. They were also factors in urban sprawl.
