As far as I know you can't have mismatching drives as a single contiguous space in ZFS. Maybe it has changed.

And when I want to add a new drive of a random size to extend the size of the same directory it's again a pain of adding and extending stuff.
This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who has paid attention to their cats' behaviour when another pet dies. I remember when one of our four cats didn't come home, there were definitely changes in how the remaining three behaved. Apparently the cat got hit by a car and was found by someone and dumped in one of those bins where they dump dead animals for rendering. We took her home and laid her on the lawn so the other cats could know that she was dead. Each of the cats came one by one, giving it a sniff and concluding that she was dead. One of them however stayed with her until we took her away to bury her, an incredibly endearing display. It took a while before they all started acting like they did before.

And with the subsequent deaths of all the remaining cats, as they are all sadly deceased, I saw similar things happen.

We should not anthropomorphise animals, but that doesn't mean they don't have complex feelings or thoughts. If we find that even bees can "play", it's not that weird if cats can "grieve".
> We built against Stripe's sandbox and never had to test in production, so I never had to use a real credit card.

Did it, got bit in the ass when some workflow was disabled in production and not in their sandbox. I don't recall the exact thing but always fun to push into production all sure of yourself to have to rollback fast and ponder why you get some fun message in your logs. At least the error message was clear about what we were doing being available only on the sandbox.

> An article by Phil Plait (The Bad Astronomer) says that each square meter of surface is hit by 1 - 2 micrometeorites per year.

A much cooler way to put this is that if you spend 1 hour per day on average not under a roof, and if we ignore some complications, your expected micrometeorite-strikes-per-lifetime is about 0.5:

(1/24 of the time outside) * (1.5 per meter squared per year) * (80 years) * (pi * 8 inches * 6 inches) = 0.486 [1]

where the last term here is an approximate cross-sectional area of the human head as viewed from above. (Micrometeorites reach terminal velocity at a very high altitude, so they should be falling almost vertically as they strike the ground, minimizing your cross-sectional area unless you happen to be lying down.)

Someone doing manual labor or other primarily-outdoor work has an expected-micrometeorites-per-lifetime much greater than 1, and therefore is overwhelmingly likely to have space dust in their hair at least once in their life. If you spend 8 hours outside per day (so your workday + some miscellaneous non-work time that covers days you're not working), your expected lifetime impacts is ~4, so your chance of >= 1 impact is 1 - Pois(0; 4) = 1 - e^-4 = about 98%.

A better calculation would account for the fact that Earth's orbital motion makes the relative motion of impacts non-uniform in the same way the front of a moving car is hit by more raindrops than the rear. This means most strikes occur around dawn, because that's the time when you're on the "front" of the Earth as it moves in its orbit.

Early-morning workers, like agricultural, sanitation, or custodial workers, might be out for the peak of impacts nearly every day, while the average reader here who drifts into the office hours after dawn (if at all) and spends most of their outdoor time in the evening might almost entirely miss their opportunity to have a bit of space fall on their head. (I think this is rather poetic: if you want to touch the stars, go pick up trash!)

This is my read on it as well, but I'd really like an official clarification.

Rare production smoke tests are in a gray area. They may be technical violations but they're allowed to happen as long as they stay infrequent and above-board (company card, small amount, no chargeback, etc.).
As a child, I used to spend a lot of time with insects. I wanted to understand how they understand the world. I have thought about death and how other animals may perceive it. In the recent years, with a lot of machine comprehension, I find myself asking these questions again. And I spend a lot more time with animals now, so that aids in the process.

In a way a deeper question I have is do we humans actually "understand" death in similar ways? I personally do not think so and it arises from how much or little I have seen people spend time pondering on these topics. With some, I can discuss hypotheticals easily and with others I just can not. They do not admire these subjects and I wonder if our brains just perceive some of these things differently. Time is another such topic.

I should add that we do not need to agree on what is "death" in order to grieve the missing. But I guess how would cats know death vs missing (vacation)?
> I very much doubt cats understand the concept of death and can "grieve,"

Why wouldn't they understand it? Death is a natural process.

They may not be aware of their own mortality. But they can tell if another animal has died. And that if it has died it isn't coming back.

It's common advice to let dogs see and smell the bodies of their deceased companions, so they know they aren't coming back.

You've already said they react in a particular way when people or other animals they care about aren't around anymore. That's grieving.

If I understand correctly, the claim is that the elite will be able to persuade the proletariat to defend the elite against the "foreign enemy".

I will grant that it often works that way. But there are examples of when it doesn't...
I had two cats who lived together for 11 years, but they only barely tolerated each other, they didn't fight but they also didn't spend time together, play together, sleep together, or groom each other.

So when one died I was shocked that the other paced around yowling for days. I don't know if he missed her specifically or was just confused about where she was and his confusion is what was causing distress.
To some extent it always happens; some talking heads have predicted all 20 of the last two recessions. It does seem slightly more OTT recently, though. Possibly part of it is just that people have been expecting a big global recession for so long now; really ever since late 2021 a lot of people have been claiming there'll be one any minute now. At this point it's so much in peoples' heads that any wobble looks like the end.
Spent a week walking around SF and saw no crime. It felt extremely safe.

Big tech made SF unaffordable and then loves to complain about the poverty left in it's wake. I don't care if tech workers feel uncomfortable in SF.

SF was rapidly gentrified to the point of mass homelessness, now they want to legislate a way to remove the homeless people that were made impoverished. I will never care/empathize with a hackernews poster complaining about crime in the Bay Area. You moved there, you demanded luxury, you demanded space for the luxury, you pushed the existing population out.
But was he saying it based on evidence or was it just something he wanted to be true? (Genuine question, I know nothing of the person.) Often someone believes something strongly against available evidence and is then "proven correct" - this doesn't show good reasoning or foresight, just the wishful thinking to pin one's hopes on an unlikely outcome. In those cases there is usually nothing to be learned from that person.

> I very much doubt cats understand the concept of death and can "grieve,"

My guess is someone disagrees with both of these claims. To be fair, your doubting that they can grieve is a bit ambiguous – of course they can grieve but whether they can grieve over a death, assumes they understand death as distinct from 'where have they gone?'.
Growing up, my family had 2 cats, both adopted at the same time as kittens. They slept curled up with each other and played together constantly.

One of them died suddenly years later. As painful as that was, it was even more heartbreaking to see our other cat dealing with his death. She did not understand why he had disappeared, and grew increasingly upset in the days following. Searching everywhere around the house making distressed meows at all hours. Demanding to have every door opened so she could search every inch of the house multiple times.

After a week, she began to understand our other cat was not coming back. For at least a month, her appetite disappeared, she was grooming herself compulsively and needed to be near one of us 24/7.

This is only one anecdote… but to me the fact animals can grieve is beyond question
Budget and finance tools as a class operate under the idea that money is fungible. One of those differences between how economists believe people operate vs how they really do

The people I know who could benefit most from budgeting do not think of money as fungible. They mentally allocate different incomes to different spending categories

This seems like an opportunity for a tool to break the mold and offer a solution that fits how people feel about money vs how they “should”
I still remember after my first dog died the cat would check his kennel and favorite spots for weeks while sadly meowing.

It was heartbreaking to watch, especially because she was a very quiet cat and rarely meowed at all.

I had to say goodbye to one of my cats on Monday. I found out she had cancer on Thursday after she collapsed. Did enough to keep her around and not in too much pain over the weekend but Monday was the day.

I cried my eyes out before taking her to the vet for the last time and she came up to me and licked my face and nibbled. She was an extremely affectionate cat.

I brought her back home so the other two could see/sniff her because I didn't want them to not understand that she just disappeared. One of them is definitely more concerned than the other.

Cats are pretty amazing creatures and while not all of them are super affectionate (my other two aren't) they seem to understand a lot more than we give them credit for. Mine always know and understand when I'm not feeling well and show it in their own ways. I will miss the hugs and cuddles from the one I said goodbye to... I needed those hugs and cuddles this week but the one that would give them wasn't with me anymore. Tough times.

I would encourage anyone to take the time with their animals and give them attention and love. You never know when a surprise may come and you have very little time to say goodbye.
Since he mentions a "token", I don't think he means the recycling system, but rather than whenver you visit a festival/sports events etc., you typically have to pay a deposit of €2 for the cup your drink is served in. Before you leave you have to return the cup for a refund.

Sometimes you also get issued a "token" and the refund is only possible with the token, so you can't return other cups you find lying around.

Uber had, and probably still has, a sophisticated setup for directing prod traffic for specific requests to/from developer laptops, for isolating test tenancies in prod services, for simulating trips using test tenancies, for automatically detecting and rolling back deployments based on everything from the usual observability metrics to black box testing against prod, and last but not least, good unit test coverage.

I bet their payments team runs code before it gets deployed. The article seems to imply that Uber engineers don't bother to test code before they land it, when in reality they do test it, and they also catch other stuff afterwards too.
That's unfair. "I very much doubt…" Is a statement of his opinion and not fact.
>Because you're stating something incorrect, confidently.

I've read about this, though, and the scientific consensus seems to be that cats do not, in fact, understand the concept of death, because they tend to wait for deceased owners to return. The same applies to dogs.

They understand the concept of absence, obviously, and they find it upsetting, but I think calling it "grief" is misleading, because it implies that they know that the person they miss is actually dead.
While I really dislike anyone knocking on my door to sell me something, regardless of what that thing is, I do have to admit...

Mormons are usually the least objectionable of all the door-knockers. They tend to be genuinely friendly (or at least are able to fake it really well), respectful, don't do the "hard sell", and when I tell them I'm not interested, they honor my statement and leave without trying to change my mind or guilt-trip me.
Here’s an example of a general purpose, analog computer:

https://museum.syssrc.com/artifact/exhibits/251/

I’ll note that there’s been plenty of work on general-purpose, analog computing. Analog’s competitiveness also lives on in mixed-signal ASIC’s. The problem with new products, though, is analog requires fully-custom, circuit design. Outside some niche uses, you can’t just synthesize them from higher-level specs like you can digital designs with standard cells.

That puts analog at a severe disadvantage on NRE cost. Especially as both design rules and mask costs increase with every node shrink.
Animals are capable of complex emotional experiences and cats are included. When my friend's cat died of old age, the daughter of the cat, who had been living with her mother since birth, fell into a true depression. My friend had to take time off work to help the little one cope with the loss of her mother.
What annoys me about this is that due to recyclability they are going to replace the borosilicate glass formula with one made off soda-lime glass. Soda-lime glass is significantly less durable in heat/cool cycles, and part of the point of high-durability glass is it's reusability! Germany, like many parts of the world, in the name of being green has gone all-in on recycling but fail to remember the green trifecta and it's priority ordering: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. That is, recycling is a /last resort/.

If they continued with the prior borosilicate based formula these could be high-temperature sanitized and reused when making bottles and it works better for the hot/cold cycles typical of high temperature sanitization and cool wash-downs used in commercial bar settings.

The same thing happened to the Pyrex brand. It used to be the gold standard for glass bakeware because it was made from borosilicate glass which made it much more drop resistant /and/ better for heat/cool cycles. Now Pyrex branded products have gone to being made predominantly of soda-lime based formulas and newer Pyrex dishes are known for being prone to exploding when you move a casserole prepped the night before from the fridge/freezer to the oven.

I really wish we still had seriously durable high-quality products available and we weren't regressing to lowest common denominator across our society. Soda-lime glass is not a buy-it-for-life product, regardless of what you do to the formula.
I agree. Archives shutting down creates a huge risk for what I call "historical context attacks" in the future, similar to what you're describing.

Personally I would be fine too. But there is a lot of information which is not written down anywhere online, but exists on YouTube. This is anything from conference talks, to people showing how to use or fix some equipment/machinery. And it seems that informational content is getting more and more video centric. So there is a long tail of valuable information there, I believe.

Deep down I believe such things about both dogs and cats to some degree.

But also this is also a survey of pet owners about their own pets' behaviors, and I can't shake the feeling there's more than a bit of projection/anthropomorphism involved.

I guess the word "grieve" is ambiguous, but I understand it in this context in the sense of "being upset at somebody else's death." Of course cats are upset if somebody they like isn't around, but it's not because they know that this person is dead.
