In this case I think it’s the case that bcachefs has only a very small set of developers working in it.

Advertising is business owners paying to take a dump in your brain. Google, Meta et all are no better than billboards.

Grid solar is the future, not placing an expensive system on your roof (though homeowners will do that for other reasons, like disaster preparedness).

Energy storage via batteries is ridiculously expensive if the storage is greater than 24 hours. Hydrogen tanks (or salt caverns) might be the solution, but there is still the capital cost of the electrolyzers and fuel cells.

Those tax credits are pollution indulgences what Tesla sells to competitors to stall their EV programs. They completely offset any environmental benefit of buying a Tesla. There is none.

A general rule is that when someone clones a piece of software because the original is too hard to understand, the new software is isn’t any getter, because the authors are by definition not the brightest bulbs. That is Mercurial.

Mercurial is slow even on smallish codebases, though.

I’m resigned to the fact that I’ll be dead before Linux fonts look good. That’s true of many Linux features, actually. “Public” software is the quality of most public infrastructure, sadly, and smells vaguely of piss.

Chipotle would regularly outright steal chip orders during the pandemic. That is, if you ordered a delivery from Chipotle and it contained chips, you would never get any chips, but they would still charge you for them. If you ordered nothin

The service experience with both Rivian and Tesla sucks. And that is why the manufacturer should never have a monopoly on the service of your car. Rivian wait times can be as long as five months. Tesla regularly denies warranty claims.

Tesla is absolutely anti-consumer. The quality of their cars is terrible and they manipulate prices regularly. During COVID the gouging was especially obscene.

No, dealerships exist so that the manufacturer doesn’t have a monopoly on the sales, and especially post-sale warranty service, of your car. Witness Tesla’s service deception and customer abuse along the Rivian shit show as plain evidence t

This is the utterly foreseeable consequence of the HN-funded Airbnb, which effectively lets rich tourists drive up the cost of living of city residents.

Is that a meaningful distinction? If so, why?

Wow, really? Thanks! The point is that both wield executive power, yet one person in the executive can be prosecuted only by Congress and the rest not. Illogical.

Any durable commit is going to have I/O in the critical path unless you're Paxos/Raft replicating in-memory across failure domains (which we're not discussing here), but I think you mean it takes random I/O out of

I’m an FBI agent and I kill my wife. Am I immune from prosecution unless Congress appoints a special counsel, simply because I work in the executive branch?

Those implementations use a WAL, but it seems to be only as a performance optimization to decrease the size of the in-memory index; is there a theoretical reason one is needed? It looks equivalent to a WAL-less write path combined with an a

Could you elaborate? Do you mean an LSM tree or log structured filesystem?

Also, Elon Musk regularly buys massive amounts of Tesla call options to force the market to cover. That jacks the price. Blatant manipulation of the stock.
