As they wrote (and if you're that far into it you really should have been reading) in the paragraph before that, that's the source of the bug in modern OpenZFS but that doesn't mean it was a bug at all in 2006 Sun ZFS. A lot of changes have happened since then, and there may have been something else in ZFS back then or in Solaris itself that meant it wouldn't ever be hit. It's a genuinely interesting tidbit that a little change like that 17 years ago could pop up this way, there is nobody who'd somehow hold Sun (long dead) responsible let alone whichever team did it (even if one dev made the change it should have then needed review/clearance, and if not that's still the problem of Sun not them).

Kind of a strange thing for you to zero in on out of a whole interesting article.
Every rental I've had had one. That was eight units in total. We didn't get fancy rentals.
I keep reading the same experience as you did but it's really difficult to imagine it being so without actually having access to an induction stove to try it out. What I care about most is the rapid adjustment from high heat to low heat and vice versa within seconds; this is really important for many Asian cuisines. What I care about next is the amount of heat output at its highest and lowest setting. Of course I can't verify these attributes by looking at induction stoves in a store.
You absolutely can. You just need a roasting pan compatible with induction. An induction cooktop beats any other type in my experience. 1) I’m not breathing in harmful chemicals. 2) I’m not waiting around for the pots to get warm. 3) I feel like induction cooks faster than gas but I don’t have evidence. 4) While it’s more expensive to get into, it’s a lot healthier for you in terms of air quality and cooking quality.
Probably don't make that much of a difference. I know it does not in my country. If anything, at the same price of gas and electricity, gas is less efficient so induction should be cheaper. Imma say this again : Gas is not efficient.

And since it probably don't make much of a difference, if you have the financial room for it, maybe you can make the sensible choice for society ?

Less gas means less methane emissions from gas plumbing (4x times worse than CO2) and less dangerous accidents : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_explosion

Electricity means a single network and can be clean, gas can't. Gas stoves is the gateway drug to gas heating and the industry knows it which is why they spend so much lobbying for it even though it's a very small part of the gas they sell.

I still find it funny that there is such a fuss about when a mentally ill person finds a ideology to die for and blow themselves up for the cause when it's just as likely and deadly than gas accident but barely no one is able to remember last year street explosion because of gas. Both are fact of life and can be mitigated for but one is apparently very meaningful while the other... "oh well".

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. We can easily reach +95% renewable grids. The further north the more wind energy in the mix. Which is stronger and more prevalent during the winter.

Lets see what we have left when we have reached 95%, it will not be the issues we think are most critical today.

Resistive sucks, induction does not. If you have induction pans, they will heat up faster than any gas stove. Boil water in less than 2 minutes. No gas or resistance electric range can come close to the energy transfer.

The point is that Open Source, by design, drammatically increases the likelihood of failure.

It's already hard to build a successful business. Odds are already thin for you to succeed. Why choose a model that worsens it?

Open Source was not created as a funding source to for-profit ventures. That's what these businesses are doing: raising labour funds for free to fund a profitable product. That's not the spirit and the purpose of Open Source.

Why Prusa is floundering, and how you can avoid their fate
I have a gas range, gas water heater, gas logs, and gas backup heat. My gas bill is around $15 a month. My home has proper ventilation to the outside and I have no intention of converting a cheap gas bill into a high electric bill.
I'm definitely not an expert, but I would say nothing of note has changed with our utility bill since we replaced the gas cooktop with an induction cooktop.
The marketing will tell you it's more efficient because all the energy goes into the cooking (heating the pot) instead of heating the room as with gas. But hey, that's marketing.

One other concern was control: we did find out that the power levels on our model were not linear. The first 5 were all low power for low power needs (eggs, sauces, etc) and then 6 through 9 were much larger increments for high power needs (e.g. frying).

Our experiment before committing was using a plug in cooktop. We got a good one, and even though it was "only" 1800W it made many meals. It's power settings were linear but offered us 0-100% in 1% increments (amazing control! Love that thing.)
Ah - that's really interesting, didn't know this. But that means that UK should already be counting CO2 emissions of products sold there(where known), right?
I get your point, but an expert witness in a trial is not usually solely relied on. Normally the other side also has an expert (as was the case here) and the opposing lawyer has the opportunity to question an expert about such things as whether they are licensed.

However it's true that there are cases where such an expert might be solely relied on, for example they might be brought in by the judge. That happens in family court here, where a judge might appoint a neutral expert to evaluate a child's situation, and indeed there have been complaints that such experts were not sufficiently qualified or regulated. In that case, I would agree that licensing is desirable.

The economics vary heavily location to location. In some areas, well designed hydroponics or aeroponics “cost less” due to density - if good lands expensive.

If land with decent soil (and keeping the soil good) is inexpensive, traditional soil based farming is superior.

Restoring or amending super overworked or “poor” soil is both expensive and time consuming.

A lot of those interesting vertical farming startups fail miserably because they are outcompeted by relatively nearby, lower cost soil based production - the whole location part of the equation simply doesn’t work.

There’s also fun questions about if you can reliably do hydro/aqua “organically” to appease the granola crowd, it turns out that soil has certain advantages if treated right such as having various fungi etc that help fight crop disease/pests etc.

I agree that code is restricted by harder constraints, in that tests need to pass and typos/grammatical errors are disastrous.

But being able to write code that merely runs is the bare mimimum requirement you could put on a programmer. The thing is, the compiler is not your only audience.

> The last time I looked it could easily cost hundreds of dollars per month to back up as little as 40TB to the cloud.

You only have to backup the data that is important to you and you don't want to lose in case your house gets robbed, floods, burns down, etc.

If you don't mind losing 40T of data, you don't have to back it up at all.

Otherwise get another NAS, installed it at family/friend's house, and set up a VPN between the two: then use rsync/zfs-send/whatever.
... except the carbon intensity (carbon emission per electricity generated) of France stayed basically flat throughout the last 20 years, and it actually slightly increased in 2022 compared to years before, likely due to corrosion issues in reactors and droughts which led to reduced nuclear output. Are they being complacent because they already are "ahead of the game?"

Also I find it interesting that Germany gets the brunt of the critic for not using nuclear even though they managed to steadily reduce carbon intensity (at least pre covid) of their grid, meanwhile Japan, whose carbon intensity shot up after 2011 because of a certain event and still hasn't returned to pre-2011 level, gets a pass since it apparently killed no people with radiation during the process.
Induction ranges heat up water faster and use less energy than gas ranges: https://www.treehugger.com/which-more-energy-efficient-cooki...

Since you mentioned that you have backup heating, I assume you don’t live in a very cold climate, in which case a heat pump for your backup heat and water heater is your most efficient lowest cost option, not a gas system.

Part of your gas bill is just paying the gas company for a line. Your bill would be around $10 even if you use 0 gas. So basically having two different bills costs you extra money already.

Then there’s the fact that you can get a solar system and generate your own electricity, which you can’t do with gas. Solar systems can have a payoff period in the 5-10 year range which is very reasonable. If you pair it with an electric car you’re almost never paying a utility or oil company for your fuel needs.

I’m not saying you should run out and retrofit your whole home because that would never pay itself off, but in your climate I would never touch gas in a new build.
This is why we need a carbon tax. Your gas bill needs to be much higher.
> it's like recognizing that an orchestra conductor doesn't need to play (...) any instrument

i heard this before and it seemed dubious to me

on investigating, it turned out that there were literally zero famous orchestra conductors who don't know how to play any instruments. most of them know how to play numerous instruments and do so in their spare time, though there were one or two who had stopped. from my experience with musicians i think it's likely that they could play any conventional orchestra instrument after a short exploration period, even if they don't have documented histories of playing it

i suspect that this is true of non-famous orchestra conductors as well, but i could only find public information about the famous ones

of course that doesn't prove anything about programming, which is not the same skill as playing a musical instrument or conducting an orchestra, but it does show that you're constructing your arguments without much concern for veracity

the fact that in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38769008 you claimed that web search engines are not built by people who work on string matching or distributed database transaction consistency further calls your credibility into question
I've flown Newcastle to Southampton (and back) a few times.
With any sufficiently large industry if that industry produces externalities powerful lobbies will emerge to make the harms as unclear and detached from the industry as possible.

We only see the failures of this activity. There are many more big lobby success stories, where the externalities a line of business produces are removed from public discourse. In some cases, veggie libel laws for one, the lobby is so successful that criticism is practically illegal.
Honestly this just sounds like me when I first encountered coding puzzles like project euler / leetcode and interview challenge practice problems. I made up excuses like this because I simply didn't want to spend time on lower level problems and instead wanted to feel good sticking to my high level application comfort zone.

I eventually learned to like solving lower level problems and I'm much better off for it. And these days I can tell people who haven't paid their dues because the only solutions they ever come up with are slow quadratic ones no matter the occasion.

No, building your own text editor, compiler, OS, ray tracer is not going to make you a worse engineer nor keep you from learning how to google and evaluate libraries or think critically, nor are those things reserved for an engineer who isn't building those things.
Asia is the largest market for induction cooktops, I wouldn't worry about its ability to cook Asian cuisines. They even make ones that are perfectly shaped for woks.

When I think of a fs corruption bug, I think of something that causes fsck/scrub to have some work to do, sometimes sending resulting in restore from backups. From the early reports of this, I was having a hard time understanding how it was a corruption bug. This excellent write up clears that up:

> Incidentally, that’s why this isn’t “corruption” in the traditional sense (and why a scrub doesn’t find it): no data was lost. cp didn’t read data that was there, and it wrote some zeroes which OpenZFS safely stored.
There was a build-up of tensions in the lead-up to the war, not just on the Egyptian side, but also on the Israeli side.

The Egyptians believed that the Israelis were preparing an invasion of Syria, so the Egyptians moved their own force into the Sinai peninsula, in order to deter Israel. However, the Egyptian force was nowhere near sufficient to launch an invasion of Israel.

The closing of the Straits of Tiran was politically significant, but not very economically significant. Only a tiny fraction of Israel's trade went through the straits.

The Israelis had been planning a first strike on Egypt for a long time. Whether they actually feared an imminent Egyptian invasion in June 1967 is questionable. The Israeli military was very confident of its superiority over the Arab forces, and it may have simply taken advantage of the situation to land a devastating blow against the Arabs.

Seems "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" might just be survivorship bias here.
You're right that it's no one on HN's responsibility to outline the full risks of starting a business, but no one is claiming otherwise.

Presumably jraph's goal in writing their comment is to convince us that starting an Open Source company is a good idea -- but they haven't succeeded, for the reasons mentioned. If they want to convince more people, then they should come up with counterarguments to the top level post's arguments (and if they don't want to convince more people, that's fine too).
I agree with you completely that it's used in too trite away. Which I think has echoes to backups and a lot of other "data hygiene" things in general (like doing backups at all initially, or strong passwords, or setting up new systems) which our industry has a long and unfortunate history of leaving manual and assigning a PEBKAC to when what was really needed was more automation. Manual effort doesn't scale, and cost is absolutely a critical issue for a long tale of data owners. A fundamental part of the entire value of ZFS and NAS for that matter is automating away all sorts of issues surrounding data integrity, from checksumming to disk integrity to backups, and doing so in a way that's highly dependable.

Which is how it should be. Yes bugs can happen but there's only so many 9s most of us can chase on our budgets. And "always test backups" in particular adds cost. Testing means restoring onto hardware that you can then use live, separate from your actual primary hardware or at a minimum on primary hardware with >2x the set size and enough performance to squeeze it in during downtime or around work. So yet another big increase in cost. "Testing backups" isn't trivial.
It sure is marketing and... basic physics ?

While it would be silly to claim that software engineering is the most demanding profession, there’s more to the work hours than the time spent in front of the screen.

In my personal experience a lot of time is spent working “in the head” that does not involve me being in front of my computer - my wife says I have a programming face often when I sit at dinner or when we are out somewhere because I have code running in my head somewhere behind my eyeballs. At peak times this can persist for days (and needs downtime after to recover).

Switching that off is very hard for me - in contrast with when I did some more physical work in the past where you can get your mind back as soon as you down the tools.
The thing that annoys me most is that sites are allowed to use the http referrer from Google to see what you're searching for.

That + spam sites spamming as many keywords as they can just mean whatever you search for 95% of the sites are spam after the first page.

Idk why we've let the Internet get like this. There's gotta be a way to sign off on real/trusted content. That's certainly not ssl certs. Could probably crowd source the legitimacy rating of a site or something.

That's another reason why people flock to the big names, reddit, youtube, etc. It's like McDonald's, people know that what they get this time will be exactly what they got before.
As opposed to my electricity, which is mostly produced by a coal plant?
Induction limits how I can cook compared to gas burners. There are fewer techniques and methods available and is unacceptable for how I like to cook. Induction is great for some people but for many people it comes up short. Cooking anything inside requires proper venting as cooking byproducts are harmful.

Cooking isn’t just about getting a pan hot quickly.
Very interesting. Eight healthy subjects used for testing. I am guessing that the effect is not limited to humans alone. Shouldn't it be easier to do a larger study on animals?

And licensing one's product seems to amplify that risk.

What if someone does do that? As a HN commenter I can't bypass the possibility that somebody takes my comment at face value without conducting proper research and analysis.

HN comments (and really all content on the Internet in general) should be written responsibly. I am not saying that GP didn't write their comment responsibly.

But then you can't raise complaints when somebody does outline the full extent of risks involved.
