How about when you can't ssh to the server because ... oom-killer killed sshd?

Thankfully that system wasn't mine so I just got a laugh of this situation.

Still, 20 years later I still can't wrap my head around why Linux still needs oom-killer when Windows can run just fine without such functionality.
I absolutely hate that quote. It may have been true-ish for classes of goods and services 150yr ago but today it serves little purpose than letting yuppie consumers pat themselves on the back for buying premium products.
congratulations to you on your new career! i almost became a lawyer too ;)
Thanks! I unfortunately wasn't really scientifically disciplined enough as I ran pgbench running through configurations, so I didn't include my notes or numbers but hopefully someday I can come back to this with a fresh wad of cash to spend on dedicated hardware fit for purpose and put some of this to rest!

One of the things about this kind of benchmarking/testing is that it really requires multiple days worth of evaluation (index bloat, disk fragmentation, etc) and is really hard to get right... I'm afraid I'd add more noise than signal.

Some great resources out there though, like Percona's post on MySQL:

https://www.percona.com/blog/mysql-zfs-performance-update/

Even in there though, the comments are full of reasonable objections, with some really sage advice in terms of fragmentation and really measuring whether ZFS can coalesce your writes. It's a hard topic!

The guy was caught in short order so he really wasn't able to do it. You can steal money pretty easily in the traditional financial system with a simple forged check. Money will likely go through initially but you also will likely be caught in short order.

I’m not sure what you’re arguing here aside from capitalism is also free trade. I think definitionally no, but semantically or practically maybe. Free trade is also a thing, sure. I’d like to examine the mechanism you’ve identified to attribute the sources of betterment, if you are not merely making it up as you go.
That's why the US elites are adamant about not giving any social benefits to its population: they want the largest number of people depending on loans to survive, and working hard to make banks rich! People who depend on loans are forced to work hard, both for the benefit of their employers and the banks. It is like a cassino, where the banks have the house edge: banks will end up making more in interest over the lifetime of the loans (and the people).
I did something different. Moved back to my country, had an 'arranged' marriage and am content now. Work remotely and happy with it too. Funnier issue is that a lot of women of my race in USA did not want to date a first generation immigrant.I do not want to generalize and do social commentary but I hope we hear more comments from many sides of the story. Matchmaking is always going to be Darwinian in the extreme sense but the sense of low confidence it created in me when in USA was quite high.
Because then they simply wouldn’t exist. If they did, interest rates would be stratospheric, with most of the money coming from the successful borrowers subsidising everyone else.
this is why we show up to work in the morning! thank you so much. if you have more you want to share, shoot me an email!
Disagree strongly. I’ve lived in places that ban payday loans and it just goes underground.

What you’re approach is, is to just han things because “people are too dumb to make good choices”. I’d prefer not to live in a society like that.

And I’m kinda surprised you left out mortgages. The US has far less mortgage debt than other Western countries. Sure they don’t take on student loans, but they seem happy to take on massive mortgages.
In the 1970's a couple of doctors declared bankruptcy while they were residents (and thus getting paid peanuts) because of how large their school debts were and how small their income were at that moment. Since the law didn't include "most likely in the future you will be making a lot of money" as one of the factors they then got very good cram-downs of their debts and voila, soon were very wealthy doctors. The handful of people who did this attracted media coverage, and the Government stepped in.

There was an immediate patch to this, and then longer term solutions as well. The basic, Econ101 level thought behind this is that if you go into debt to buy a car or a house or anything tangible and the debt proves too much the bank can take those assets back if you declare bankruptcy.[1] But how does that work for a degree or the knowledge in your head? What can they take from that?

Another issue is fairness. If student loans paid attention to how likely they were to be paid back then, as a first approximation, they would only be offered to people with above average income attending elite schools and poor people would be cut out of college more completely than they currently are- and they would pay much more attention to your degree, school etc. Everyone who goes to a Ivy would get loans, many people who go to regional schools wouldn't, because they aren't good bets to pay off the loans (people who graduate, as a first approximation, pay off loans; people who drop out don't, and community colleges and regional schools which focus on non-traditional students who have real lives already have much higher drop-out rates than Harvard- this is different in practice because of Pell Grants but that's a different issue). The reason that they are offered student loans is because the government guarantees them, so they have lower interest rates (yes its higher than a mortgage, but its much lower than a credit card or payday loan, which are the other unsecured loans the average person has access to), ignore your school, major, etc. and are available to every US citizen.

But if the government guarantees the loan, then isn't someone who defaults on this unsecured debt ripping off the American taxpayer? Easy to see how this can be gamed and the student portrayed as the bad guy, because of how the system works. Even those doctors at the beginning deserve a better system, but Americans first instinct wasn't 'let's fix this so that the doctors don't go into such debt' it was "lets make sure those cheaters don't profit off of ripping off the taxpayer." And that instinct is how we ended up here.

[1]: Obviously if you buy a new car the debt will be greater than the value of the car (because the car loses so much value when you drive it off the lot) but they have fancy economic models to account for that, and the house has an appraisal to prove that it can be sold for more than they are loaning out.

Also, to make sure there's enough prey, let's not make financial education a requirement, in general, so people can make well reasoned choices...
Harvard and Stanford admit about 1 in 20 applicants. MIT around 1 in 15. I doubt you’d see those schools get cheaper as the demand far exceeds the supply. I think you would see a lot more legacy admissions and an overall wealthier student body in the top-tier colleges if poor people couldn’t easily borrow to attend. (As one of those people 35 years ago, I think that’s a way worse outcome than today.)

State schools and schools with high admission percentages might get cheaper in tuition, but it’s still going to be expensive to live and eat for 4 years with no income coming in for most of the year.

You left out the second half of the question including the question mark. Nowhere does the article say that what you claim is actually happening.

Completely agreed -- the reason that ZFS actually warrants tuning here is because ZFS has the ARC -- basically reads/writes are going to go through the linux page cache AND this additional ARC component, and there's a bit more leverage there than a more traditional LVM-on-xfs/ext4 stack.

Writes always have to touch disk of course to be durable so the underlying does matter. I'm not super familiar with MSSQL but does it have Direct IO? I have to admit I know almost nothing about the internals of MSSQL or the characteristics of filesystems on Windows.

There's a wealth of complexity and tunables in just how ZFS will write to disk along with how it will use and optimize ARC. Basically there's a second WAL at the disk level (the ZIL/SLOG) to contend with so there are lots of ways to do things and properties of the storage system can change.
There is an upper limit on the amount you can take in these loans and it’s depressingly low, well below the tuition of many private (and some public) colleges. To finance the rest you’re looking at much higher rates.
This is completely untrue. AWS offers many tools to audit credentials. It also has the policy simulator to see exactly what the impact of changes will be on a role.
The complete mess that is containers on linux seems a whole lot more complicated to me. Jails do what you want in a simple way that works; containers are endlessly customizable such that you require a whole runtime and management daemon and message-bus integration and goodness knows what else.

I got banned from a number of subs for making comments documenting the bot-like behavior of karma farming accounts. Accounts with millions of karma, reposting low-quality content as if it's organic.

It's not (just) to flex. Russia shuts down gas pipelines basically once a year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia%E2%80%93Ukraine_gas_dis... There is absolutely nothing new about this, it's just about money.

Ukraine wants to charge high transit fees, Russia wants Germany to turn on Nord Stream 2, which bypasses Ukraine. Russia also wants long-term contracts to lock in natural gas consumption-- phaseout of fossil fuel consumption is an existential threat to fossil fuel exporters.

Any mechanism that allows you to listen to hotkeys at will is about as insecure as running a program as root that snoops keys; either way you're vulnerable to keyloggers. The X implementation is quite insecure as well as having a number of other usability issues. I understand your complaints about Wayland but there has just never been any API for this that I've seen on any Linux window system that is actually secure, it just doesn't exist right now. If a secure API is ever implemented, it will probably be made to work with Wayland somehow.

It's even better when talk of forgiving student loans triggers the sorts that were fortunate enough to pay them off on their own to decry that as some sort of giveaway the victims of these practices don't deserve.

I mean it's great to pay your way out of debt but the game is rigged exactly as you state. And I deeply wonder about the hidden costs of having so much of our population saddled with this debt. No proof but I'll bet it outweighs the cost of canceling that debt not that we'll ever know.
So if you're born into the bottom 25 you have slightly worse than 60-40 odds odds of getting out?

Is this a troll post considering the NSO hacking post seen here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29640474

What is being described will get you on your way to the NSO hack as a service, because their hack was using a decompression algo to build a virtual cpu of sorts and run it, in a single pass of the decompression process.

How hard would it be to embed source code in such a way that you could also build a limited cpu to then run this embedded source code in memory with a single pass of graphic processing or decompression algo?

Mercedes got one good test from Edmunds that looks a little better in terms of km/kWh than a Model S (but not the Y or 3), and one duck from Nyland that showed them way behind. If you're trying to claim that car is clearly better then the only thing you can possibly be citing is... advertising materials. Practical realities say the production EQS fell way short of where it claimed it was going to be last spring.

Again, the only car out there with a realistic claim (i.e. in independent testing) to be significantly better than a competing Tesla is the Lucid. And not by a lot, but it looks real.

You're also confused into thinking that the school is encouraging one option when the article doesn't even suggest that is happening. Instead, it says teachers encourage students who show interest into joining Gay Straight Alliances to help prevent violence against LGBT people regardless of their personal medical choices.
Arguing that energy sustainability changes have made people worse off because they've reduced per-capita energy use is blatantly begging the question. Maybe energy is being used 3x as efficiently as it was in the 90s and so people are 2.4x better off.

> how is owning a car making you miserable?

Not the original poster, but when I first got a car of my own it was such a huge worry. The cost of an unexpected repair, the worry about it being broken into or stolen, the figuring out of maintenance and buying insurance and all that hassle. It was a huge asset, that I could barely afford, but needed in order to get to a job to feed myself. And now I have to worry about it all the time. It was terrible.

> Find a good mechanic...

This is a perfect example of the worries that a car induced. How do you know if a mechanic is good? How do you know if they are ripping you off? It's such a needless hassle to have to find a personalized service person. How much time have I wasted with mechanics in my life? Way too much, and I would love to have all that time and money put to more productive uses.

That's why student loans shouldn't exist; if the federal government is going to subsidize higher education, it should be by grants, student out-of-pocket cost limits tied to accepting federal research and other funding, and other non-loan mechanisms, not forcing students into debt.

(Private student loans, OTOH, should be dischargeable the same as other unsecured debt, and if lenders don't like it they don't have to issue loans.)
