Assuming it is just poverty and not other factors as well, including cultural issues in some communities, feels naive to me. For example in the US, crime is not evenly distributed across races even if you adjust for poverty rates. There are other factors involved.

I also simply don’t understand what you’re implying from your comment - that being poor explains attempts at murder? I don’t believe that. I think it’s not having the right morals and culture, and those root causes should be discussed honestly even if it is uncomfortable.
Polish society mentally is at the stage where car is the status symbol and part of their identity. Amplified by the fact that they're historically unable to construct their own car. Nobody is giving up their Mercedes/Volvo/BMW/Audi in a lease 1k EUR per month to walk around or drive bicycle around the city. Especially that employment regulations promote taking a lease for a car and having company's car is the ultimate benefit. Plus the obnoxious trend of huge SUVs and American-style pickups. People move out to the outskirts, buy more cars and bigger cars and then... they commute daily to the city.
Yeah, in the last year and a half, I've had three btrfs file systems crash on me with the dreaded "parent transid verify failed". Two times it was out of the blue, third time was just after it filled up.

The people on IRC tend to default to "unless you're using an enterprise drive, it's probably buggy and doesn't respect write barriers", which shouldn't have mattered because there was no system crash involved.

Yes, I did test my RAM, I know it's fine. For comparison, I've (unintentionally) ran a ZFS system with bad RAM for years and it only manifested as an occasional checksum error.
The only real loophole I've seen is becoming a freelancer. You approach them as a salesperson, not an engineer. You sell the ability to complete the project as requested. This mostly works with non-technical clients, though technical clients will almost always be less strict about it - if they had the resources to run someone through the full gauntlet, they'd do that and save a little money.

I did pass one interview out of sheer luck. Small startup, their core person left and they had a tight deadline (i.e. waterfall). CTO asked me my opinion on architectures and stuff, I pulled out my laptop which was covering a lecture on architecture I was doing at that time. He was impressed, we agreed on culture and pay and stuff, and they offered the job the next day. One hour interview.

Interviews are two way though, and you should always evaluate that they have a competent team if they let you skip the coding interviews.

Elixir: Better Solution for Waiting for Async Tasks in Tests
I don't think so. For me the real test is whether or not someone is giving me a monetary incentive. The very act of having to pay someone to say something increases the probability of it being a lie
having written ocaml in production for a few years, i think soundness comes at a cost of dev ergonomics. at least with the type systems of today’s industry languages.

it blows my mind weekly how ergonomic and flexible typescript’s type system is. it allows me to write great apis for my team mates.

is it possible for the type checker to end up in an infinite loop or for a junior developer to abuse “as”? absolutely, but it doesn’t really matter in practice.

i wouldn’t want to run typescript in rockets or submarines tho!
Trains across France halted by coordinated arson attacks
Situation is different though, we have very few modern filesystems and have desperately needed some diversion and competition in this area. I've been waiting decades for something like bcachefs, thought it would be btrfs but that turned into a disappointment - for my needs.
Fun fact: it was once envisioned that there would be a second Marin–SF bridge via Angel Island: https://cahighways.org/ROUTE131.html
Around here (Western Europe) violent crimes trigger fear and outrage, they make the news circuit for days, and many a politician demands stricter laws. They are certainly acknowledged!

If you (or anybody, really) files a charge with the police you can bet good money on the fact that it enters the statistics. For all the faults of modern bureaucracy, being sloppy is not one of them. They may be ineffectual but the paperwork is in order!
Well sure but ... I think the foundational problem here is just the "being unable to refuse to answer a request." The rest of the behavior you describe just follows from it.

If you for instance threatened to shoot a human if it refused a request or admitted it didn't know something, they might answer in a very similar fashion.
>Again, that's Us-centric thinking.

Not it isn't, I'm European from a European centric thinking. What you're talking about applies if young people choose to continue living in the same village where they were born and their family still lives, but that hasn't been the case in a long time. Young people (in Europe) move to big metro areas for university or jobs, and often, especially in Greece, they move to other EU countries.

Your family from some Greek village, won't be able to come take care of you in Amsterdam, and most likely they won't have the money to support your NL living expenses from their Greek pensions to help you out, nor will you moving from Amsterdam back to some Greek village help you out too much since there's no jobs in your niche there, or maybe even no jobs at all so now you're broke in Greece instead of broke in Amsterdam but with less job options.

Your PoV scenario is just unrealistic in the world of today and only applies in the traditionalistic tribal village lifestyle that's more or less dead nowadays and few live it. Sure, some lucked out and were born in afluent big metro areas with universities and jobs meaning they always have their family close by, but that's more the exception rather than the rule. If you look at international cities like Munich or Berlin, most people living there weren't actually born there or have family there, they just moved there for study/work. How can family help them then?
I've read arguments for 1 and 3 (in this thread) but what's the issue with 2 "listing prices on Google Flights"?
I don’t think comment “score” is available in the api.
busses are so bad here to be honest. a lot of metropolitan cities solved this problem by having frequent and efficient bus lines connecting to major train/tram/metro lines. Randstad is one big metropolis without a coherent public transportation planning.

I moved here from Istanbul 12 years ago. the progress there was positive in this timeframe while in Randstad it was backwards to be honest. public transportation became more expensive and unreliable. busses are often empty and they seem to compensate this by increasing prices and cutting down the frequency, so it becomes less reliable for people to use it..

my commute to work is 15 km. it's 20 min by car without traffic but post-Covid traffic is so bad that it's 50 mins in average (1 hour+ on Tuesdays). bus is 30 mins with 1 connection but often I miss the connection and wait 15 mins, so it's 45 realistically. both are bad options, so I cycle instead in half an hour with my e-bike. if it's bad weather I take the car because busses are not on time so I can't plan being at the office for a meeting or so. plus, bus is much more expensive than my not so fuel efficient old car. go figure.
> How would you build a JS parser so that it correctly parses any new TS syntax, without changing behavior of valid code?

I don't know anything about parsers besides what I learned from that one semester worth of introduction class I took in college but from what I understand of your question, I think the answer is you can't simply because we can't look into the future.
One interesting titbit I've only recently found out is that btrfs can't really serve reads from different drives in RAID1, it picks a drive based on the process id.

ZFS does something smarter here, it keeps track of the queue length for each drive in a mirror, and picks the one with the lowest number of pending requests.
This interested me enough to convince me to click through to the article itself. Is your observation allayed by this rule?

That's an interesting feature I didn't know F# had. It sounds similar to row polymorphism (which I found a good description of here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7829766 ).
Pretty interesting solution. At least it removes many of the errors stemming from reading keys over the phone, etc., but it also proclaims to remove the risk of distributing BitLocker keys - but that's precisely what they did - just in barcode form.

The obfuscation might prevent the intern from figuring out what is going on, but there are plenty of barcode-scanning apps for phones that show you the data stored in a barcode.
Your product can be listed somewhere, discovered, word of mouth... The thing is you cannot pay to promote it. I agree it would be a challenge to solve, maybe some kind of compromise could be achieved.
There was always the free copy of Computer Weekly that would arrive in the post to keep you amused for half an hour or so.
Partial answer: A lot of products people buy are not directly from the maker, but some store. So instead of marketing directly to consumers, the maker can just go and pitch to the store owner, who then carries the product. If there are enough stores out there (not a world full of Walmarts), then most makers will find many stores to carry their product. People go to the store, browse and buy.
The open-source software projects these companies critically depend on are developed by collaborators who have never met in person, and yet these companies still believe you can only do great work in the office.
> I assume the just hire humans to solve…

An incorrectly formalized problem is a different problem and a solution to any formalized problem still useful for AI training because such solutions can be mechanically checked for correctness and this does not require the hire of humans. What requires humans is the initial formalization process since that is more a language translation task which requires nuance and judgment and is difficult to mechanically verify.

Billboards are there for big corporations to retain their oligopolies, not for small ones to penetrate them.
Does it? From the btrfs docs:

> The RAID56 feature provides striping and parity over several devices, same as the traditional RAID5/6. There are some implementation and design deficiencies that make it unreliable for some corner cases and the feature should not be used in production, only for evaluation or testing. The power failure safety for metadata with RAID56 is not 100%.
> So you'd have to build a bunch of extra turnback facilities

Not forgetting that in the central stretch we're talking about extra turnback facilities underground.
Not in the case of the planned economies of China nor the USSR (post Stalin, IIRC) nor Russia (if, indeed, there's still a plan there).
Yes these absurd consequences end up forcing parents to raise sheltered children who have too much intake of social media insanity because they can’t just play outside all day on their own. And that lack of self reliance and poor digital exposure leads to their development issues that carry into adulthood.

But at the same time, American cities are unpredictable and there is often a rational fear of crimes for parents. In some cities crime is due to a lack of law enforcement. In others it is due to poverty and lack of opportunity. In others it is due to uncontrolled immigration (for example poorly assimilated refugee groups). In others it is due to uncontrolled school environments, where your “good” kid may run into problems with the “bad” kids they share a classroom with. With all of this going on, parents can feel like they have to be controlling and in a constant alert state to avoid something unexpected happening to their precious children. And that fear leads them to this style of parenting, not just fear of consequences from police officers.

But if you go away from cities, to rural areas, you’ll see parenting is more comparable to European parenting.
Introducing car free zones before public transit is good enough to replace cars is such a strange move.

C++ concepts have the same problem. In practice is a non-issue for the language because templates already had this issue.

In old-school C++ you would probably handle this with traits. I.e. a specialization of a tag type that can be written by either the class author or a third party that indicates a types semantic compatibility with a concept.

Example: specialising std::hash instead of forcing everyone to add hashCode() members

Using Rust to corrode insane Python run-times (2021)
My personal grievances with btrfs are multifaceted.

- I never agreed with the btrfs default of root raid 1 system not booting up if a device is missing. I think the point of raid1 is to minimize downtime when losing a device and if you lose the other device before returning it to good state, that's 100% on you.

- Poor management tools compared to md (though bcachefs might be in the same boat). Some tools are poorly thought, e.g. there is a tool for defragmentation, but it undoes sharing (so snapshots and dedupped files get expanded).

- If a drive in raid1 drops but then later comes back, btrfs is still quite happy.

- Need of using btrfs balance, and in a certain way as well: https://github.com/kdave/btrfsmaintenance/blob/master/btrfs-... .

- At least it used to be difficult to recover when your filesystem becomes full. Helps if you have it on LVM volume with extra space.

- Snapshotting or having a clone of a btrfs volume is dangerous (due to the uuid-based volume participant scanning)

- I believe raid5/6 is still experimental?

- I've lost a filesystem to btrfs raid10 (but my backups are good).

- I have also rendered my bcachefs in a state where I could no longer write to the filesystem, but I was still able to read it. So I'm inclined to keep using bcachefs for the time being.

Overall I just have the impression that btrfs was complicated and ended up in a design dead-end, making improvements from hard to difficult, and I hope that bcachefs has made different base designs, making future improvements easier.

Yes, the number of developers for bcachefs is smaller, but frankly as long as it's possible for a project to advance with a single developer, it is going to be the most effective way to go—at the same time I hope this situation improves in the future.
I think consent is key. With "Computer Shopper", we gave our consent by picking-up the magazine and reading it. With Google/Bing/etc, we give it by choosing their search. With streaming, we give it by logging-in and watching whatever garbage they have on offer. But with billboards, subway placards, radios and televisions running in public spaces, etc... there is no consent, so those are more like rape.

How does this account for high streets becoming ghost towns in the UK? It seems like running bricks & mortar stores in the UK isn't financially viable.
Is there a way to read what I wrote without getting that I'm not a fan of communism at all? There shouldn't be. I have enough family anecdotes of how bad it could be. Also I hope you meant to say "...except in your imaginary..." cause in this one it definitely didn't.
There's millions of people who could do that to an individual website. There are remarkably few organisations who could do that simultaneously across the top 100,000 or so sites on the internet, which is how readthedocs has encountered this issue.
I kind of feel like you can't lecture someone from a small Greek village on what life for people from small greek villages is like unless you've lived there.

I know plenty of people who emigrated to the Netherlands, I don't know anyone who was poor and emigrated there (they don't speak enough foreign languages to have a hope) or that lived there for more than a few months while unable to get a job

Who are these people who go be unemployed in a high CoL country?

Anyway, that's my opinion, and trying to correct people from other cultures that tell me my opinions on my culture cannot be right is tiring, so I'll leave it here.
I’ve seen a massive increase in entitled dog owners in the past ten years. But especially since COVID. It worries me when a clearly inexperienced owner is walking their badly trained pitbull or whatever off leash through the park, near children.
So a year ago i tried to repeat my old trick damaging btrfs (as a user NOT root). Fill the volume with dd if=/dev/urandom of=./file bs=2M && sync && rm ./file then reboot the machine and yes it still works, it's not booting anymore, bravo.

BTW: Even SLES SuseLinux Enterprise says use XFS for data btrfs just for the OS i wonder why
As soon as I read the headline, I knew exactly what this was about!

I'm not sure if it's still there (I left the area in 1988), but you used to be able to see the flask as it was placed next to the train track running to Heysham 2 power station. Just off the road to the ferry terminal and power station, there was a small bridge over the railway line on a road leading to a caravan site, and you could get a great view of it from the bridge. The most amazing thing was apart from a few scratches on the side, it looked like nothing had even happened to it!

EDIT: looking at google maps, it seems that you can't see it any more. The road was Moneyclose Lane, Heysham where it joins Princess Alexandra Way.

EDIT 2: apparently it's been moved to the visitor's centre: https://www.railscot.co.uk/locations/H/Heysham_Power_Station...
The key difference is that we don't need to agree on a certain FS, whereas the reason for standards is interoperability.

I have both bcachefs and ext4 filesystems on the same machine, for different uses.
Economist Fact-Checks Scott Galloway's Anti-Boomer Ted Talk [video]
I think it's not quite so simple.
The problem of organising storage is at least complex, on a scale of "simple complicated complex chaotic". The inherent complexity might be impossible to reduce to something simple or even just complicated, except _maybe_ with layering (à la LVM2), each layer tackling one issue independently of the others. But then it's probably at the cost of performance and other efficiency. Each layer should work such that it does not interfere too much with the performance of other layers. Not easy.

Given the rather cheap price of durable storage these days, I would favour rock solid, high quality code for storing my data, at the expense of some optimisations. Then again, I still like RAID, instantaneous snapshots, COW, encryption, xattr, resizable partitions, CRC... It's it possible to have all this with acceptable performance and simple code bricks combined and layered on top of each other?
thanks, the kvm-vmi is basically an expansive version of what I was imagining (maybe read about it before, as noted, I thought it existed).
btrfs has deduplication as well.

In theory full file deduplication exists in every filesystem that has cow/reflink support
Bcachefs was merged into the kernel only months ago, and had an immediate flurry of bug fixes due to the additional testing this brought. (It was in development for some years before that out of tree). That's the level of maturity that it is at. I think there's a hope that it will become more trustworthy than btrfs due to the developers success with bcache.

When I saw the headline, I thought 'oh, what a nice idea', but the quote above might have a point and I am not entirely sure how right it is. But I guess there is probably some truth to it.

I hate digital, and especially animated, billboards very very much. It's super annoying and just plain distracting. Maybe just analog billboards might be a good way. So local businesses get a way to advertise themselves. Maybe it has to get some regulation so that big companies won't buy all the ad space? I am not sure.

Be careful though. If whatever data was to be written got corrupted early enough, ie before ZFS got to see it, it happily wrote corrupted data to disk with matching checksum and you're none the wiser. But yes, it didn't blow up the entire Filesystem unlike btrfs likes to do.
