If the requirement you set is a hard limit on hydro, then sure, few nations could qualify.

But if you instead ask for "another oil producer that could fully cover it's local demand with energy sources not from hydrocarbons" a lot more nations would be included in the answer such as United Kingdom which has abundant wind, decent solar, some nuclear, and some potential hydro.
> Norway was only doing fishing before they discovered oil in the North Sea, so all their wealth is based on oil. They still drill and export a significant amount of oil

It is misconception that Norway was poor before it found oil.
Statistically Norway did as well as or better than – based on GNP per capita – most other European countries from 1830-1938; similar to Germany, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_regions_by_past_GDP_(P...
Hmm YMMV. I like it even slower for writing fiction, as in handwriting.

But the most important part is probably not the slowness but the distraction-free environment. Get a DOS machine with WordPerfect and it will work as well. But don't run DOS in an emulator that you can alt+tab away from and doomscroll...

Do you really believe this? It seems inconsistent with free speech and Paul Graham’s own definition of wokeness.

Doesn't that depend on when the firefighters started attacking the fire? You don't have to put out the full extend of the fire if you can stop it.

Example: a grease fire starts in my kitchen and burns down my house. I don't need the water required to stop a full bore house fire to put out the grease fire in my kitchen and save my house.

The hydrants ran out of water very quickly, because the reservour feeding them was taken out of commission because there was a tear in its cover. It's been offline since last February. The cover is only needed to prevent evaporation. They could have had water in it, which very well may have been enough to stop the full spread of the fire.

This is gross negligence.

I was assuming OP wants to highlight filesystem use on a workstation/desktop, not for a file server/NAS. I had similar experience decade ago, but these days single drives just work, same with mirroring. For such setups btrfs should be stable. I've never seen a workstation with raid5/6 setup.
Secondly, filesystems and volume managers are something else, even if e.g. btrfs and ZFS are essentialy both.

For a NAS setup I would still prefer ZFS with truenas scale (or proxmox if virtualization is needed), just because all these scenarios are supported as well.
And as far as ZFS goes, encryption is still something I am not sure about especially since I want to use snapshots sending those as a backup to remote machine.

I think it's the same phenomenon as with the Kurds. Both groups need the West because they are existentially threatened in their native region and have no other allies.

The Kurds are surrounded / occupied by Turks, Arabs, and Iranians - all who have a long history of trying to exterminate the Kurdish people / culture.

Sikhs aren't any better off with their native lands being ruled by either Hindus or Muslims, two groups who have a long history of trying to exterminate the Sikhs.

That's why both groups - quite frankly - suck up to the West so hard and are often picture perfect immigrants because they really don't want to be sent back. Because whatever "racism" you might think exists in the West, it is nothing compared to the religious hatred coming from Muslims and (to a lesser extend) Hindus.
Most of Norway (or at least the parts where most people live) doesn't actually get that cold, thanks to the Gulf Stream. Certainly not as cold as the colder parts of the northern US or Canada can get.

This is a great example of a news story being propagated, citing other news stories as evidence of the claim.

It has so far been carried by media outlets such as WSJ, Bloomberg and Reuters, with each propagation creating a sense of evidence as 'papers of record' add validation to the original claim.

Edelman Trust Barometer 2025 comes out later this month; journalists will be right down there with politicians as amongst the least trusted people in society.

>The type of people are different.

>Back in the 90s, you needed to have a decent amount money to afford a computer.. this essentially built a wall between people that came from affluent backgrounds vs. those that did not.

I remember the sub-$1000 PC came about in the late 90s, you didn't have to be that affluent; lower-middle class was enough. I remember people in the BBS days that were barely middle class that had computers. Wealth wasn't really that much of an issue. It was more of an interest thing. Lots of people back then really didn't know how to use computers and they were pretty foreign to most people.

I remember pre-Windows 95, you had to know someone who had WinSock and install it, and you had to manually enter your IP address and gateway and all that. It wasn't an easy task. Once things like Internet in a box came out, it became easier. That's what AOL offered, easy access to the internet back when it wasn't that easy.

I think the biggest difference is how commercialized it has become and how the big companies have essentially taken it over. In all fairness, they did have a lot to offer; most websites were static documents.

> Thinking longer term, what will happen to gas stations?

We're already seeing gas stations in Norway that has replaced most of their pumps with fast chargers. Some of them just have one or two gas pumps left.

This is happening really fast since the people who drive the most are among the first to switch to EVs. I think sale of gasoline is falling by around 30% every year.

Nobody is letting a brand new EV gather dust in the garage as a secondary car. They're all out on the road.

Yeah, at some point you will have to plan a trip with an ICE car to make sure you find gas stations along the way.

In the really long term there won't be any gas pumps at all. Some specialty stores will probably sell gasoline and diesel in a jerry can, for enthusiasts that maintain and drive old cars for fun.

This is why I think the transition will happen much faster than people anticipate, once the market has reached a certain critical mass. Imagine what people will think when they read about gas pumps disappearing in Norway or the Netherlands and other regions with high EV adoption. The thought of not easily being able to get gasoline for your new ICE car in a decade or two will probably push people to be almost irrational in their avoidance of buying a new ICE car. Cutting the sale price won't help much.

The sale of new ICE vehicles will fall like a rock. The sale of EVs will not rise as fast as the fall of ICE. People will try to hold on to their old ICE cars for longer rather than buying a new car. Which isn't a bad thing.

> ZFS on OS X was killed because of Oracle licensing drama.

It was killed because Apple and Sun couldn't agree on a 'support contract'. From Jeff Bonwick, one of the co-creators ZFS:

>> Apple can currently just take the ZFS CDDL code and incorporate it (like they did with DTrace), but it may be that they wanted a "private license" from Sun (with appropriate technical support and indemnification), and the two entities couldn't come to mutually agreeable terms.

> I cannot disclose details, but that is the essence of it.

* https://archive.is/http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs...

Sun took DTrace, licensed via CDDL—just like ZFS—and put it into the kernel without issue. Of course a file system is much more central to an operating system, so they wanted much more of a CYA for that.

You really only have to do part 1. The actual subsidies on electric cars in Norway were quite minimal and have largely been rolled back. The most important 'subside' was always just that you didn't have to pay the same taxes as with ICE cars.

Just read the next sentence:

> I will upgrade from 14.1 to 14.2 shortly after 14.1 runs out of support – which would guarantee having working pkg(8) packages on FreeBSD 14.2.

The way I'm reading this, you can just move between minors when they expire rather than when the new minor is available:

- stable/14 was released Nov 2023

- 14.0 support ended Sep 2024, move to 14.1

- 14.1 support ends Mar 2025, move to 14.2

Rinse and repeat. stable/13 was released Apr 2021 and the last minor (13.4) is still supported until Jun 2025, it's four years just like the previous major releases. I don't see how any of this shows an operating system that "lacks basic LTS functionality" or "keeping the distribution coherent" -- especially the latter point is strange considering FreeBSD by design is a lot more "coherent" than Linux (whether that's a good thing or not is completely a matter of taste).
My understanding is that ZFS does virtual <-> physical translation in the vdev layer, i.e. all block references in ZFS contain a (vdev, vblock) tuple, and the vdev knows how to translate that virtual block offset into actual on-disk block offset(s).

This kinda implies that you can't actually remove data vdevs, because in practice you can't rewrite all references. You also can't do offline deduplication without rewriting references (i.e. actually touching the files in the filesystem). And that's why ZFS can't deduplicate snapshots after the fact.

On the other hand, reshaping a vdev is possible, because that "just" requires shuffling the vblock -> physical block associations inside the vdev.
Every novel invention becomes commodity over time. The issue is that, instead of trying to invent something new, they’re adding gimmicks and present it as growth.

Depending on the culture of the company, the product management function will come with a range of expectations from the powers that be — figure those out asap. Figure out the big personalities, the values of the company, and obviously start talking to their customers on week 1 and every week (day?) thereafter.

As a senior PM, you probably need to pay a lot more attention to your executive stakeholders than a junior PM who might focus instead on lower level cross functional needs, developer focus, design, etc. I would also suggest that after you’re comfortable with your onboarding that you embrace high visibility and even fight for it if anyone discourages you or devalues your communication efforts. Good luck!

Here's the timeline for the Palisades fire (one of several):

Hour 0 at detection by an automated system: 10 acres

Hour 1: 200 acres

Hour 4: 1260 acres

The first few hours were in the wildlands which are difficult to access, don't have fire hydrants every 500 feet, and aircraft were grounded due to 60 to 100mph winds

No, the fire hydrants did not run out of water because the Santa Ynez reservoir is down for repair. They ran out of water because the system depressurized.

The fundamental issue is extremely dry vegetation and extreme wind. The dry fuel is caused by increasingly violent oscillations between extreme wet seasons (causes lots of growth) and extreme dry seasons (causes dryness).

This is exactly the "hydroclimate whiplash" predicted by climate models: https://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/california-extreme-climat...

Yes, it is gross negligence, but at a much more massive scale than you're suggesting.
The high winds are really significant, especially when they are themselves arid and have a drying effect. This is another case where the behavior exists, has existed for a long time, but as part of a very large chaotic atmosphere system (I use that term formally: it's down to chaos theory that governs the range of behaviors you can expect) what was already a risky weather behavior has amplified strikingly, due to a relatively small change in global climate energy.

And by that I mean relatively few degrees, not that it's a small change in energy. It's like a warming ocean: the actual amount of additional energy boggles the mind, completely eclipses anything humans can do with all their militaries. We're talking an amount of added energy (across all the oceans and atmosphere) that can combine to do more damage than a full-on nuclear war.

And we only notice it when the chaos behaviors, the range of reachable extremes, get to points they couldn't reach before. Like how fast hurricane Otis ramped up before hitting Acapulco. How often do you see 100 mph Santa Ana winds in your daily life? You do now… when the conditions permit, and now that's just part of the reachable range that will sometimes happen, just as the explosive intensification of Hurricane Otis is just what will sometimes happen now.

This and other effects like it are new because they're an epiphenomenon of what climate change means in practice. The seemingly few degrees of 'warmer', or the predicted general changes in climate across large areas of land (like the idea of Greenland being 'warmer' and thus able to sustain more agriculture) are insignificant or even misleading, compared to the increased range of chaotic oscillation manifesting in these events.

We'll be making codes to mandate California buildings stand up to not only earthquakes, but sustained 100 mph winds along the coast. Because that'll become the norm… not constantly, but recurring, 'predictably'. Once you know what the chaotic oscillation can reach, you'll know that it'll be back… and that you may have underestimated how bad it'll get.
