Yeah, this seems like a really rough market. If you are educating people who can self-learn then there's a tiny market where it's not clear you can easily beat books/YT. If you're educating people who can't self-learn then you quickly learn how damn expensive it is to find good and stable teaching staff.
ZFS is widely used by many users and organizations. Just because it is not currently included in the Linux kernel does not mean that it is useless. There is ongoing work to integrate ZFS into the Linux kernel, and in the meantime, many users continue to find value in using ZFS on their systems. As an alternative, you could try using FreeBSD, which includes ZFS as part of the kernel. This can make it easier to take advantage of the features and benefits of ZFS without having to install and configure it separately. Additionally, because ZFS is integrated into the kernel, it can take advantage of FreeBSD's advanced security and performance features.

It's been time for awhile. We have Crypto tech but it won't find a useful use unless the majority of people trust it. When something like FTX happens over and over again, what's the point of dealing with it? There other more stable technologies that will help society. Why should we bother with what's constantly falling apart? It will never find a valid use unless we can trust it. Investors that invest in it are gambling with their money.

The constant criticism of crypto is that it does not have a valid use. Why would anyone want to use it or build on it if you can't trust it? It's like building in front of a unstable dam that can fall apart at any minute. It would be crazy to build in front of it.

Imagine what would have happened to e-commerce if there was a large chance that you would lose your money and purchase every time you used it and you had no way to get it back? Online purchasing would have no use. It would just be a novelty. But instead, because we trust it, it has created millions of jobs and billions in profit for society. We can even say that it helped many people from dying by letting people shop from home rather than risk getting COVID.

Right now, users won't trust it and investor's shouldn't trust it. Regulate it and bring some stability to it.

I hate when people write this. Unless there’s actually some accountability, like the CEO loses pay or her bonus or some stock, these are just useless empty words.
I think this article hits the nail on the head. It’s expensive expensive expensive to live a proper “homed” life in the areas being talked about.
To overcome homelessness (barring addiction and mental health cases) an individual needs substantial regular income (and skills to foster this income obviously). It seems people understate (especially in the tech sphere) how much money one needs to live and gain steady income and housing - even if you’re not asking for much. Then there’s credit checks, income requirements, job requirements etc etc etc to even qualify for a real home. If you can’t make rent for a bit then you’re back to being homeless.
I was homeless and lived in a car for like three years - even attended a coding boot camp (in person pre pandemic) while living in my car.

It’s a very large hill to climb (sustainably overcoming homeless) and no surprise some people choose to “find stability” by just not bothering and living wherever they land.

Edit: haha and I forgot to mention basically needing to have a real residential address to even get a job (and a bank account!) and stuff. It’s such a vicious cycle which is just to reiterate “it’s a large hill to climb”.

> Dinosaurs lived millions of years ago and became extinct long before humans existed. Even if we had the technology to bring them back, we would not have any of their DNA to use as a template.

Sounds like you didn't read the article. Hendrik Poinar, the director of the McMaster Ancient DNA Centre, said "Will we ever find a dinosaur that has viable DNA? I’ve learned to never say never." And then a footnote associated with that statement said "Last March, researchers founHed evidence of preserved cartilage cells and DNA in a 75-million-year-old baby dinosaur fossil."

Your other points make sense, but only to a degree. Sure, dinosaurs-as-a-whole probably wouldn't do too well naturally in our environment, but how sure can we be that a few species wouldn't be able to survive? And isn't it plausible that an artificial habitat could be constructed that could allow even more to survive? After all, we have ways to keep pretty much any animals (including humans) alive in artificial habitats that are kept in environments the animals wouldn't normally survive in (see: zoos, aquariums, space stations).

I was involved with the London esports scene from 2010 to 2014, running events that would gather up to 500 people for blizzard and valve games.

I left the scene because I could not morally justify the exploitation of the majority of the talent. I hoped that the younger guys would be finding a way to make it work for the majority but it still irks me how many years have been wasted by young adults on a wild goose chase. Some very few were able to make a living out of it and deserve 100% what they pulled, but man, what a churn in that industry.

This is only a problem because businesses are trying to prop up competitive scenes for arbitrary games from nothing, which is a silly way to go about this.

They're games, people play them for fun. Let the competitive scene develop organically and then go in with investor money for better broadcast equipment and sponsors and shit and draft a team to compete in the existing competitive scene.

Trying to just create a competitive scene for random games out of thin air when players haven't even shown they're going to stick around for it is insane.

The default approach for any unproven competitive game should at most be "hey we're hosting an official tournament with a modest prize pool in the hope to drive adoption of our game, if it works we might do it again next year" not "we're investing millions into regional teams and stadiums out of thin air like we're bootstrapping the fucking NFL, and don't you dare host your own tournaments.".

Why is this comment downvoted? ZFS limited disk management forcing you to use the size of the smaller disk and making it difficult to resize array is not a feature. It’s a serious limitation when using it as a normal user and not in a professional environment. It’s extremely annoying that most of the ZFS zealots are in denial.

Ok.
I feel like the data loss risk doesn't really make sense to be worried about. It doesn't matter what FS or storage system you use, you _need_ a backup if you actually care about the data. And if you have backups, you are fine.

That has not been my experience with Pluralsight courses. I've done quite a few (10?) over the years for .NET, C, and C++. Most were authored by people who are experts in that specific niche (ex: Kenny Kerr's course on C, Kate Gregory's courses on C++) and quite well done.

Maybe it depends on the technological niche you're looking at?

I don't quite understand the use case here. If I'm setting up RAID it's because I want the system to stay up. That's the only purpose for it.

If a device goes missing for "unknown reasons", then the machine should still work, and I'll figure out what happened when monitoring pokes me and says RAID is degraded.

LXDE is missing... I quite like it, I started using it when I was looking for the lightest DE that I could find, but now that I see IceWM and how light it is, I have to try it!

The only problem that I encounter is that my display is 1024x600 max resolution, so with some DEs the windows would be so big that they couldn't fit the monitor, even if I try to make them smaller...

If anyone has any suggestions for an even lighter one, please share.
EUV light source generate plasma that is in the megakelvin range today for silicon lithography. It's obviously not the same and still cooler, but the assertion that we don't make use of highly energetic plasma is off.

Secondly, your attempt at being pithy about nuclear bombs is a complete loss. We previously only knew how to achieve an inertial confinement based fusion reaction with a positive Q factor by first setting off a fission bomb, and this was only done for the neutron generation to increase the amount of fissionable material exploded (which is why they are called fission-fusion-fission bombs).

We can now generate fusion energy in a way that is obviously confine-able. That's a major step, and it's not THAT hard to imagine many mechanisms of turning a hot droplet into energy. For example the hohlraum itself in an indirect system will obviously be heated by the reaction and could be used to generate steam. Engineering that makes no sense though if you can't get a high Q factor out of the ignition itself, hence the focus.

This four sentence post is a perfect example of OP's point. No insight, no though process, just a pithy negative reply.
I ran into a major problem with performance on btrfs when used on an extremely high write volume that filled up. Between fragmentation and full disk I couldn’t even /copy/ data off the drive at a reasonable rate.

Reading these horror stories just makes me not want to rely on smart filesystems at all. If a bug can take out my whole array, or if the system is as inflexible and magical as ZFS, I'd rather not rely on it at all.

I've been managing a home NAS for years with SnapRAID and plain old ext4. Sure, it doesn't have the bells and whistles of something like ZFS, but it's simple to use and understand, scales with anything you throw at it, and there's no way to lose the whole array.

I'm currently transitioning to a multi-node setup, and will probably move to Ceph, otherwise I would stick with SnapRAID. Every so often I look into btrfs/ZFS/mdadm, but keep reaching the same conclusion that it's just not worth the risk.
Alright, I think I have found the main point of our misunderstanding:

> The main benefit, and the whole point, of layered architectures is to ensure the software architecture to simplify modifying/updating the bits that change very frequently and stabilize and minimize the need the fundamental bits that only rarely need to be touched.

The thing is - "onion/hexagonal/clean" architectures and "layered architecture" are not the same things.

Of course layers are fundamental - nobody questions them. What I do question, are 3 mentioned architectures.

For example MVC is also a layered architecture, and in many cases it works great. It allows the same level of testability as hexagonal architecture, but with less boilerplate and indirection. It is great for building websites like this forum.
It actually is if you don't ignore the context of the job while comparing it with something of false equivalence. Police work for the government and by extension the citizenry to enforce laws the citizenry passed. Is there a reason you feel laws against things like theft and murder are immoral or reasons why you feel sometimes victims of these crimes shouldn't be supported by law enforcement agencies? Because when you refer to police doing their job as an attack vector you're referring to them enforcing laws that society decided were important and so I think the onus is on you to explain which laws you feel are immoral or which victims are undeserving of justice and why.
Physician here... it is being sold unregulated at gas stations. I echo the comments of many others that "supplements" should have to undergo safety vetting similar to any other pharmaceutical.

You’re right that credit cards are not a universal MOP (method of payment). Other options include debit cards, or systems like iDEAL, PayPal, etc.

> the hard-earned lessons from TSMC’s first time building a fab in America 25 years ago

IIRC, one of the hard lessons was that it was expensive to operate a factory in the US. It's not even the cost of paying workers, but that the workers needed a lot of training. Or my interpretation: the American workers are simply not as efficient as the Asian counterparts. This also reminds me the story in the Obama's documentary "American Factory", in which the hourly productivity of American workers was about 1/3 (or 2/3) of the Chinese workers.

So, I have a pretty pessimistic question: can American workers still be competitive even if we move manufacturing back to the US? I really really hope that Americans are as competitive as they are decades ago: they earn more than people in other countries, yet the unit cost of products were lower than those of other countries because Americans simply led in productivity.

Capitalism certainly deserves credit for those rose-colored glasses so many people like to wear.

Rather than point at a bunch of historical counterpoints, let me ask you this: are arms manufacturers and dealers engaged in capitalism? Weapons and munitions are certainly 'stuff' that is manufactured and sold in highly competitive markets.
It’s not Electron so a positive.
Not really. Whole companies were collapsing in the FuckedCompany era. What we're seeing today are companies that were staffed against 2019-2020 growth projections. The dominant theme of all these discussions seems to be "I can't believe there was so many people working at this company in the first place". It feels very different.
> There's a shortest unit of time / amount of change that the eye can resolve.

Sure. Otherwise movies and video wouldn't work at all.
Mostly agree. I really floundered when I got promoted to senior. Then got diagnosed. Meds and exercise help. Or at least I think they do. Hard to gauge progress without a job.
Even if that represents a difference from the US, it's irrelevant. It would do a lot of harm to the US-Japan relationship if the US let such a serious and blatant crime go unpunished. This sort of cross-border crime is exactly what the extradition process exists for.
That reminds me of Godwin's Law:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law
I have chatted informally with probably half a dozen "big law" lawyers about the current state of rampant DMCA abuse, though none of them specialized in trademark/copyright. The initial reaction i got was that there wouldn't be enough money in it. The other reaction i got was basically "who cares?" Those aren't really the right people to ask, but that was my experience for what it's worth. To be fair those attorneys were probably far too expensive for anyone involved in a DMCA dispute to use, but personally if i had an airtight case i would want those types of firms to be running up the bill.
I don't think that's true, especially outside the US. I bought my Tesla because it's a really good bang-for-the-buck electric car. My political ideogies are not particularly aligned with Elon Musk's, but that doesn't really affect my purchasing decision.

What do you mean about 'religion'?
I agree. It seems like if companies are pulling out its probably best for the scene. I think people still want to have fun and compete against each other, and it will be more interesting to see organic competitions instead of the large corporate sponsored ones.
To add some color to my story, I was employee #1 at a startup that got acquired after 2 years and gave me 2 years of rest and vest.

Then engineer #4 at a "hot YC startup" that went from series A to series D in <4 years. my illiquid 18 months of trying to navigate the politics of a hyper-growth company is "worth" significantly more than what I got for 2 years of 9-9/6.

I affected basically zero change there, but by virtue of being early on the rocket, my stock has appreciated massively in value.

I feel more proud of working at the former as I designed and scaled the system from scratch, but would I have been better off doing a hit and run on 2-3 of these "hot" YC companies for a year at a time? Not sure.
Regarding resilvering, I am amazed by ZFS' capability of quickly bringing a stale mirror back into synchronization.

I have used the FUSE port of ZFS to write only one member of a mirroset, then upon mounting both members elsewhere, the stale mirror was very quickly resilvered, so ZFS was able to determine only the blocks needing to be refreshed.

In btrfs, I understand that this requires a rebalance, which will read/write every used portion of the filesystem.
