The original architecture sounds like maybe it was just ahead of its time. /s

Agree. Couldn't believe this wasn't in there when I checked it out before. Isn't using bridged interfaces with VMs/containers a major use case? It's certainly my primary config, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Which is why I would build a HD robot that doesn't manipulate the disks, but the connector.

I'm glad you have a startup working on it. I've long thought fixing this problem would be a true boon to humanity vs. the typical social fad focus of most tech startups. I've even debated doing it myself multiple times over

No we don't. Even though we keep finding ways (so far) to make new sources affordable, the cost still goes up.

I've been a big proponent of ZFS, but recently btrfs has been making a lot of good progress with features. Most interesting to me is the ability to rebalance and switch redundancy levels. I have 20TB btrfs array in production as a ba

The more I think about it, ageism is mostly about reducing perceived costs: Older people have families, more experience (in general), demand higher salaries, and are less likely to put in crazy hours. They can still totally be worth it.

So you're saying if you aren't using RAID on your ZFS vdevs than ZFS with non-ECC is no worse than anything else... and there is a valid scenario for doing so. I use ZFS on offline backup drives so that I can periodically mount

I thought with newer SSDs TRIM is no longer as important and in some FSs even has drawbacks?

I think the answer is No. ZFS users are just extra paranoid and looking for the next SPOF.

Krugman frequently disparages the predictions of most economists... His own record isn't perfect, but pretty good. IMO, he is pretty careful about not making too many falsifiable claims. His main point over the past couple of years

Exactly. Statistics without purpose, ie. as a fishing expedition, is dangerous. Scientists use statistics all the time, but usually under the guidance of hypothesis driven experiments. Krugman is merely mentioning that if Nate Silver kee

What would make the story even better would be to have learned that Steve sent the guy out to suggest the "fix".

yes. why even bother to argue your point? while a lot of government spending might not benefit you directly, the odds are that someone out there is getting some kind of service from it. Also, a sizable fraction of government money is goin

How does one prevent docker from insisting of doing its own DHCP? I'd like to just have it add an interface to a bridge and have the container get an address from the network DHCP server.

For perspective, the budget of the NIH, which funds a huge percentage of all the biomedical research in the US is about 31B. This is research that subsidizes and lays a foundation for many of the medical advances we have today. For additi

As a PhD who tried to get a job outside my field of expertise I'm glad you mentioned your reluctance to hire them, as it was certainly a vibe I got. For any people hiring potential PhDs out there, I'd like to clarify (and general

The thing is... you'd likely see inefficiency and wastefulness in most private sector jobs as well. Almost guaranteed. There are some types of services, like crucial infrastructure, where failure is not an option, hence government, he

Also, the metric amuses me since it implies most of the value of a tech acquisition is in the users, not the actual tech or talent being acquired. Or the timing and context of the acquisition. Is this trying to say Whatsapp was a good dea

part of growing up is learning to become the kind of hypocrite you can live with. if you think you operate and hold yourself to a much higher standard then go ahead and complain all you want. maybe you do... maybe

It's funny you mention the systemd pam module. I just recently was configuring a new Linux mint install and enabled ldap and all of a sudden noticed logging in via the desktop or ssh would hang for over a minute. I tracked it down to t

there is probably a pretty big range for 'scientist' position. I'd guess 70-120k would cover most though.

Yes, and to imagine I only got started in front and back-end web-development 3 years ago when I'd say things were even crazier. While learning I was being bombarded by the explosion of HTML5, CSS3, LESS, SASS, Stylus, templating engin

That is good. But this reminds me of the first time I installed 'ffmpeg' on Ubuntu only to have it not work with my well-tested parameters and also declare ffmpeg 'deprecated'. Only after some head scratching did I fig

On the plus side, just by paying a couple hundred bucks extra a month you can double to triple the amount going into equity at the beginning. Bonus is they send you a check every couple of months as they recalculate how much interest you&#
