A similar thing happened in my community (not historically prone to wildfire) on December 30, 2021. 1000 homes destroyed. Fortunately far fewer casualties. Similar proximate causes (100+ mph winds and historically dry vegetation). I remember some outlets making a big deal about the possibility of this becoming a new normal due to climate change. It was (to my knowledge) the first wildfire attributed to climate change.

BTRFS RAID 1 works just fine with heterogeneous disks with no extra configuration required; I would not have been able to provide examples from experience otherwise. When writing new data, it allocates two blocks on two separate devices, preferring to allocate space on whatever devices have the most free space. This may not be optimal from a performance perspective, but it does mean there's minimal wasted capacity in most configurations. (The RAID1c3 and RAID1c4 modes work the same, but with three or four copies of each block, all on separate devices.)

Were you assuming that BTRFS RAID 1 meant every block of data gets mirrored across every device? I've seen that assumption before, from people who don't realize there are two ways to generalize RAID1 to more than two devices.
It should have been N+K not N-K
One of the major reasons I would never work in defense. If I have to prove my worthiness to a clearance system that’s not far off from witchcraft and magic spirits, yeah, I’m gonna pass. Good luck finding intelligent people to work that kind of job.
Re-checked, by the cache size Toshiba MQ03ABB200, 2TB is a CMR drive.

Rule of thumb - drives with 16Mb (or less, but you probably don't want a 8Mb cache drive in 2023, lol) are CMR, drives with >128Mb cache are 99% SMR.

And look at my sibling comment

Making companies put it in plain terms that they’re forcing you to abdicate any right they can make you abdicate doesn’t automatically make competition appear. The market doesn’t work like that.

People primarily buy on cost, they’ll buy whatever is $10 cheaper. And in a truly efficient market this would be passed along to the consumer and people would buy the one that’s cheaper with worse tos - just like people buy ad-loaded smart tvs instead of a premium one with no telemetry or smarts or a tos attached.

Regulation is the only thing that’s gonna get you there. Contracts of adhesion are not gonna go away on their own unless you outlaw them. The market isn’t efficient like that, even if it were the efficient scenario is likely there one favoring cheapness and contracts of adhesion over consumer friendly behavior, and the behavior is unconscionable anyway. Just outlaw it.

The libertarian take on regulation is wrong, there’s a reason the EU does its consumer regulation with regulations and not with labeling. And in this case it’s actually contract law that is being warped by anticompetitive participants so you’d really think even the libertarians would be on board. A contract without consideration is not a contract, literally. And “we’re not going to let you use the good/service that you already paid for” is not a consideration, it’s blackmail and strongarm robbery.
> To do what you want, you can do what one could always do -- zfs send/recv between a filesystem between and old and new filesystem.

Sure, but that involves having enough spare disks, enough places to put them, and enough places to connect them.

This way, while the initial expansion is not ideal, it works. If you really need the space gains from a wider distribution, you can do this expansion and then do the make a new copy, then replace old copy with a new copy dance... although that's counter productive if you have snapshots.
SMR is ungodly slow as a NTFS Windows boot/system HDD, compared to a regular HDD.
Among the largest fires in California history, four that I'm aware of were attributed to:

- Mowing a field. This was in fact illegal of itself, due to the fire hazard, but the fire (near Redding, CA) was literally started by sparking steel off rocks.

- A flat tyre. The wheel's rim ground against the tarmac, again generating sparks, which lit nearby vegetation. Also near Redding. <https://www.propublica.org/article/california-carr-wildfire-...>

- Hammering in a fence post. <https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/20/us/california-wildfires-h...>

- Power lines. Numerous instances, though the Camp Fire which devastated the town of Paradise, CA, is particularly notable.

- Lighting. Most notably the August 2020 California lightning wildfires, resulting from over 11,000 recorded lightning strikes, sparking 21 named fires, many of which were themselves mergers of numerous other fires. A total of 23 souls were lost and 3,586+ structures destroyed.

Yes, human activity (or infrastructure) does start fires, and there are times that the actions are negligent or even deliberate. But the landscape is absolutely primed to ignite, and the least spark (or massive lightning bolts) can set it off.

The problem truly is systemic.
To be fair, inexperience, desperation, and stupid is a very potent and very dangerous mix.

That's an interesting misunderstanding you have. Perhaps telling. From my perspective, the whole argument against racism is that it paints people as something other than individuals with unique backgrounds, perspectives, and positions in life.

The magnetic field of the star is measured by observing its plasma emissions? Or its effect on surrounding gases?

It sounds really fascinating, how does that work? In pictures you see a star only taking up a couple of pixels, so how much detail do you need to measure magnetic fields? Is that all done in radio astronomy?

Sorry for the machine gun questions but it's really interesting!

Lorne Michaels really seems to have a talent for understanding talent and seeing the bigger picture in it all. The more I read about Conan getting Late Night to replace Letterman, the more I thought, “what kind of madman would put some writer like that on such a perch? Madness!” But Conan is arguably one of the greatest.

I feel like a lot of industry people are successful because of connections or simply through volume. But Lorne’s bibliography really makes it hard to think the same.

But it's important to differentiate with a single car that breaks down in the middle of the road versus a whole fleet of cars. Ocean Boulevard is a very wide road, so a single car breaking down in the middle of it won't stop traffic.
Yeah I wonder if it was really caused by Jonathan Schwartz bragging to the media about it and pissing Steve Jobs off, as was rumoured at the time. Or if there was more behind it.

I would certainly not put it past Jobs. While he had some genius qualities, his personality was pretty deeply flawed. But on the other hand I wonder if his sense for business would not have prevailed.

If only Apple had absorbed sun instead of oracle, their legacy would have been better off. Of course it couldn't have been worse.

Which also made me wonder, of course Jobs and Ellison were big friends so perhaps Jobs just left it for him to take? Oracle always wanted to get their hands on java obviously.

Ps the whole ZFS on Mac adventure came a little after time machine was already in production.

Wow this is super interesting! I’m just a layperson, but what’s interesting to me is that this seems distinct from past therapeutic uses of CRISPR that I am familiar with like CAR-T.

In CAR-T, we use CRISPR to modify immune cells so they know how to attack the target (cancer).

But in this approach, it seems more like we have created a new virus that uses CRISPR to directly edit and damage the SIV virus, which is nuts.

I like to take this story one step further. After doing some work, the two tried again. And, of course, they tried to log in. So the first three letters typed across the internet were "LOL".
The Werner Herzog documentary ‘Lo and Behold’ opens with a great telling of this story.

Generally a great documentary about facets and characters of the internet.

Concrete will be better for both long term and safety, especially when major cities in US are in direct contact with hurricanes/tornadoes.

P.S. no clue why my previous comment was deleted.. is HN run by house developer/contractors that the use of anything than wood will threaten their profit!? It’s no brainer to use something stronger, better, safer, and definitely environmentally friendly cutting trees for wood, it’s hypocritical to say “save a tree” when printing an email but you don’t mind to destroy a whole forest to build houses or even to make toilet papers.. it would make sense to have these houses built primarily using wood in the 50s where everything was simpler and definitely not as costly, but paying ~$800k for a paper house that will literally fly away in the next tornado, is a state-sponsored scam.

https://lwn.net/Articles/939842/ was the most recent one (August 2023). The article focuses on the NVIDIA proprietary driver but the bulk of the comments are about the impact on ZFS.

ZFS is already a very awkward citizen on Linux (e.g. can't use the page cache so it has to duplicate all that in the ARC; won't be able to take advantage of multi-page folios because of the lowest-common-denominator SPL; ...) and it will get worse, not better.
Back in the early-mid 2010s there were alot of kickstarters that were funding alot of pretty ambitious projects with millions. But out of possibly hundreds of attempts, I can really only name a handful. Some are still in development today way past the average length of a dev cycle like Star Citizen.

So I do think the motivation is the most important part, after all alot of the most well and content rich indie games like Cave Story or Rogue Fortress were made with much less than some of those kickstarters.

That being said, motivation is often a function of one's own specialities. It's rare to find people with both the artistic and programming rigour to realize a vision. But a look at the Skyrim or Minecraft modding communities are good example of the sheer amount of content and creativity that is unleashed once a good platform is produced. Unity & Unreal has made steps, but their learning curves are still too steep I think before one can really get their hands in working.
I think you have been misled. It seems to me that all insurance is purchased to hedge against known risks. Risks like death, which comes for us all. Risks like forest fires, hurricanes, and many other regularly occurring natural disasters. Risks like unemployment which will effect nearly everyone at some point in their life. If the risks were unknown, no one would know that they should be buying insurance to hedge against them.

It can potentially be a theatrical farce, but you've only created hypothetical scenarios in your mind for why that might be the case. Even if you did "own both ends", you still have to rely on other parties to contribute the pieces that you don't watch over, unless you're going to be E2EE from scratch (again, because you can hypothetically just say "well what if the encryption scheme itself is backdoored").
True, and you'll find that sentiment (explicitly or implicitly stated) in many criticisms of democracy going back to Plato's Republic.

Nearly 3 Billion Birds Gone Since 1970

The first-ever comprehensive assessment of net population changes in the U.S. and Canada reveals across-the-board declines that scientists call “staggering.” All told, the North American bird population is down by 2.9 billion breeding adults, with devastating losses among birds in every biome. Forests alone have lost 1 billion birds. Grassland bird populations collectively have declined by 53%, or another 720 million birds.

Every 80186 DOS machine was like that, the most famous one in the USA being the Tandy 2000:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandy_2000

The Mindset was another, that languished in obscurity until a cache of them were found at Computer Reset:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindset_(computer)

The 186 had on-chip stuff (timers, an interrupt controller, and so forth) at I/O addresses where the PC had different stuff offboard, thus precluding the possibility of a 100% PC compatible 186 machine. So there were a few interesting, not-quite-PC DOS machine designs running a 186 out there.
