> The nearly 3× increase in firesystem capacity the authors report might be worth a significant amount of software work?

They aren't claiming 2.94x capacity increase, they are claiming 2.94x endurance. Per the paper's claims, drives tend to have about 11% over-provisioning. Assuming compression is not introduced concurrently, the maximum increase in capacity would be 11%.

> A Samsung Evo 970 1TB SSD over NVMe PCIe3 can peak at 100k iops and 6.5 GB/s (personal communication)

I think you need to check the 6.5 GB/s. A Samsung 970 Evo is a PCIe Gen 3 x 4 device with peak read throughput of 3.4 GB/s [1]. Even with a faster controller and/or NAND, PCIe Gen 3 x 4 will limit the throughput to 3.938 GB/s [2]. You may be able to get combined read+write performance in excess of 4 GB/s, but I wouldn't count on it. Perhaps instead of a 970 Evo you meant a 980 Pro, which is capable of closer to 1 million IOPS and 7 GB/s.

Also, you should not assume that the same workload that can generate the maximum number of IOPS is the same one that can generate the maximum throughput. Most commonly IOPS are measured with something like 4 KiB blocks with queue depth 32 and perhaps multiple threads. Maximum throughput is generally achieved with 128 KiB or larger sequential IO with a lower queue depth and/or threads.

> But writes are an order of magnitude slower (100 μs instead of 10 μs)

In all of the NVMe datasheets that I've read that provide sufficient detail (i.e. not the consumer drives), writes are generally faster than reads. This is implied by [1] by the fact that it supports 15000 read IOPS and 50000 write IOPS at QD1 with one thread. I think a key reason that writes tend to be faster is because they are written to RAM and written back to NAND (perhaps with better packing) as the drive has spare cycles and/or RAM fills. This brings up the importance of power loss protection, which is generally not found on client drives like the 970 Evo or 980 Pro.

Yeah but that's missing the point imo. The ideological battle is about what is the "default" here. Our legal system has overtaken the commons and now to do something that would have at one point been the assumed default of human cultural products is now something you have to explicitly state. And even then it's just giving you sort of a platform to fight off of within the very legal system that took this away in the first place
It seems like companies do this because the stakes are so high to them. That is, if you hire this person and they fail, they will somehow do serious damage to the company. If you do this at a large enough scale, then you are putting the company in serious danger.

How do you de-risk this? My take would be to focus on getting "good enough" candidates in and then if they don't work out, be able to fire them easily. It's tough to normalize that. It's legal in states that have at-will employment but it seems that there are still taboos to doing that.
We have no guidelines where I work. People have different styles. I think the only one I particularly dislike is

* Please extract this to a separate function.

And I think my favorite is

* Should we extract this to a separate function?

Asking the person for their opinion seems more productive than commanding them to do something. If you word it like a command, then you're basically stating that you know better than the author and the author has underperformed. That's my opinion at least.
The former.. Sometimes, the focus goes to background and I use the MF to bring it to the front and switch to AF.. I am curious about why the later is incorrect? If I focus on a bird and the AF decides that the branch next to it is the subject, you can use DMF to fine tune it (as I understand it).
I have similar feelings toward ROS, but I don't have experience with industrial alternatives. Would you be willing to elaborate (insofar as you're allowed to) about what made the "step-function" level of difference between ROS and the internal systems you've used? Or on what you would want to see in such a next-generation system?
It is not officially known that the Saudi government provided support to the hijackers through Embassy officials and known agents. The currently accepted story is that the Saudi government has always tried to protect the US, has never been in cahoots with Osama bin Laden (at least after he became a terrorist) or Al Queda, and is just kind of unfortunate to have some crazies live on its soil.

If this is true, it is actually a very big deal and would make a significant difference in Saudi US relations, in fact in the relations between Saudi Arabia and most free countries, and it would also allow for the victims of many terrorist attacks to actually sue the Saudi government.
They're not going to build unless they can make a lot of profit on it.
People have significantly lower standards when it comes to painting compared to music. Music is ubiquitous in our culture whereas appreciation for visual arts is much less common, so people notice generic music much more than they notice generic art.

This is true even when no machines are involved. Music of the same standard as your average fan art on the internet is nothing anyone would listen to. Even average consumers are simply more discerning when it comes to music. Almost everyone you can ask on the street has a favorite musician and can tell you a few things about different genres, how many people have a favorite painter and can tell you something about art? It's just a cultural thing.
That’s a very misleading framing though. An R-Squared if 0.11 would be pretty damn important if rigorously demonstrated. This is not rigorous though.

Agreed completely - strict textualism usually can't take legislative deliberation into account directly except to handle ambiguities in the written text.

So I'm curious - without judicial review what realistic mechanism would we have to maintain our Bill of Rights etc?
This is false and a false equivalence. It's like saying that we shouldn't care about ukraine since they have azov actively fighting on the frontline, so both sides are just bad.

There's mostly one side that's doing the "bombing civilians" and "invade your weaker neighbor " part. And it's not like America is neutral here. They are actively supporting the saudi/anti houthi coalition, with intel and weaponry.

It's fine to say that you just don't really care because we can't care about everything, which is true, but there's no need to rationalize that choice.

So, you either do some kind of wear leveling in the firmware close to the flash where it knows the details of the actual hardware, or you try and do it in a journaled filesystem, which will have all the same problems, except it has higher latency, consumes more ram, and less knowledge of the hardware.

Basically, I've seen these arguments from a certain sector, where they have predictable workloads, very limited hardware diversity, and a bunch of people who are convinced they are the smartest in the industry.

I don't understand the questions. You can't see how knowing of a SA conspiracy against the US is leverage?

Edit: Things you could do:

- Increase cultural pressure within US SA community

- Increase cultural pressure within US arab community

- Tell SA you are wondering what Israel thinks about this

- Incentivize new cultural narratives (film, books, etc) and redirect special funding to think tanks

- Create a long-term partnership coalition

- Behind the scenes: Find new weak spots in SA

- Behind the scenes: Exploit new weak spots in SA, foment a renewed arab spring, etc.

These are just the tip of the iceberg, there must be thousands more.

The bad things that would happen as a result:

- Reduced SA govt access to power

- Reduced SA govt access to needed resources

- Reduced SA govt image

- Increasing trouble literally anywhere in or with SA.

I think the taboos are less around the law and more around trying to avoid a reputation that the company will can you a couple months after you've perhaps uprooted your life and moved to a whole new city. I wonder if the taboo will lessen in remote work contexts, where the employee is not so expected to uproot their lives for a job.

I don't think it's infeasible that air could displace the lifting gas that was compressed, even in a rigid envelope. You could maybe build flexible bladders on the inside for this purpose. Another way to add weight using the same principle would just be to compress outside air into rigid tanks on the craft, making it heavier.

The point being, that in a situation where there is a 2 company duopoly, with multi trillion dollar companies, then there is going to be laws that regulate these multi trillion dollar companies that have significant market power.

> compete with open competition

They can compete all they want. They simply can't use their market power to anti competitively prevent users from installing other app stores or browsers, of their own choice.

A user is free to not install other app stores or browsers, if they don't want.

> let's have governments decide how my phone works

It is actually the user who will now be free to decide which app stores or browsers run on their own phone. Feel free to not install them, if you don't like those options.

Anyways this conversation doesn't much matter because the laws are about to be passed. I look forward to people crying about being unable to prevent other people from doing what they want with their own phone in the future.

Because there is nothing you or apple can do now, to prevent people from installing other app stores or browsers, on their own phone, pretty soon.

The app store/browser war is over. Apple lost. And users will soon be able to actually do what they want with their own phone, and Apple will no longer be able to force users, against their will, from install other app stores or browsers.

So you will be satisfied if Apple provides you with the option to replace iOS by whatever OS you can put there?

Apple bundles the three levels (hardware, OS and Apps) and sells you the hardware. But Safari is tied to iOS and not to the hardware itself. So would you argue about an option to replace iOS instead of installing other browsers on iOS itself?
And that works and optimizes in the differential equation solvers.
It's not a smoking gun to say that some people at the Saudi embassy helped Saudi nationals settle in the US, even if 18 months later those Saudi nationals went on to commit terrorist acts.

For example:

> Bayoumi’s final call to al-Sudairy at the Saudi embassy came on February 7, 2000, after the hijackers were fully settled in the same apartment complex where Bayoumi lived.

It'd be interesting to know how many other non-terrorist people went through a simialr process.
Yet, you also find it plausible that people who spent years on this project would never have thought of that.

Your misplaced trust in your own plausibility filter causes you to make foolish posts on HN.
But to GPS point, if this is going to be the new production language for this person for the next period, they’re going to lookup how to do this in seconds and then be an asset to you. Would you really rather have the junior developer who knows the answer to this question off the top of their head, but has so many other lessons to yet learn that GP can bring to the table?

Honestly, once a person has demonstrated some proficiency in a cross section of languages, you should just skip the language proficiency section and instead talk about how learning new languages has gone in the past. Look for any red flags or biases that are going to be a hindrance in the new languages particular paradigm, but otherwise the “can you X” is already a done deal.

In some respect this is useful for the average person because there's just so much going on that being fully aware of the the different candidates stances on many different topics and trying to juggle all that is hard, and doing a good job of it in some cases is next to impossible. That said, it's taken advantage of in the extreme by politicians (of all groups) now, who seem to have purposefully divided the populace so they can rely on this. To all of our detriment.

I don't know if I should be compelled in that case to give a kidney, but it seems reasonable for there to be legal pressure on me to do so (such as facing some kind of homicide charge if I do not on they die).

Planning is pretty much one of the worst failures of the past century.

It's hard to think of a single place where planning has created an amazing city. Maybe, Vancouver, maybe, but that's mostly a success because it enables a small number of towers in the downtown core.

Despite the huge amount of construction over the past century, the best parts were made when there was the least of contemporary planning methods.

I think a lot of it comes down to the planning for required cars. But the entire field is a complete failure, once you look into how it practices itself in the US.

And if you talk to planners and call them out of the failure of the field as a whole, and for the particular projects they are in, they will say "it's not up to us it's up to the politicians." Which is rather revealing. "Planning" isn't planning but instead a thin veneer over politicians following the whims of NIMBYs.

We'd be better off without the entire field. Let's start from scratch.
> Well, they are public streets, which suggests that everyone pays for them.

Right but if the street only pushes for a single modeshare is it really a public street or is it a street for that modeshare?

> once in the form of a city sticker, once through taxes, and (in many cases) again through meters.

Right and transit users/cyclists pay the same road taxes that motorists do and also pay per transit trip. Motorists just pay for a gas tax in lieu of a transit trip. Importantly, motorists are payed a hefty subsidy by the Federal Government for any highway project but transit projects are not. Moreover this piece of funding does absolutely nothing to benefit anyone who does not drive or use a bus.

> but it's not like cyclists are going to line up to finance bike lanes nor are public transit users likely to support a rate increase to finance improvements to buses and trains

... Who do you think are advocating for these new bike lanes and transit lines?

So it's unclear to me where your cynicism of:

> I don't know. I would be open minded if you could convince me that the bus lane is actually going to move more people

comes from. If anything it's more indicative of the parent's opinion that drivers perceive any change in fees to be punishment.

As far as I understood it was that individuals paid or employed by the Saudi government supported the would-be attackers. That is a far cry from "The Saudi government provided support", especially if you imply that this support was intentional.

Also as far as I understand it, in Saudi Arabia the public sector is rather large and so the chance that Saudi nationals are involved in the government in some way or other is quite high already.
