Peer review. And it's a moving target, skype used to be the recommended one back in the day, when it was decentralized. Right now openwhisper based systems are one of the better ones we have (so whatsapp and signal) that are sanely acc

You may wanna do some more research on this, it's not as black-and-white, plenty of endurance athletes starting to push less gels: http://lc-triathlete.com/science-behind-fat-adaptation/

From what kind of scale would you consider running flynn (I'm a fan since the early days) or deis (scoped it as well) a pragmatic step compared to heroku?

Please do not trivialize the aspects of running a server on AWS (or a highly-available cluster) just for your own single application. Installing is the easy part, the day to day maintenance, reacting to issues, the 3am alerts (you set up al

I agree with your general sentiment and have my share of seeing ridiculous ceremonies of current-workflow-fad-of-the-year being enforced on people, kanban is a great system for managing deliverables in an ad-hoc environment. It's a fal

Sometimes collapsing arbitrary layers gives you more context to work on. Judging from ZFS history, this is the correct path. (and if you've ever had to rebuild a mostly free, large, raid5-6 array, you will appreciate filesystem aware

The ECC myth?

by erkkie 10y ago
Not only that, but I believe a bad checksum can also cause a cascade to "fix the data", causing further corruption.

See my other comment a bit up in the thread. ZFS does data checksumming which relies on the ram not lying to you.

ZFS does depend on ECC more than other filesystems, in that it does data checksumming, which other filesystems (mostly) do not do. Those checksums can and will lie without ECC, in worst case rendering a data protective measure into a data l

Companies do not pay for code, they pay for problems solved, risks mitigated or value delivered.

This is a conundrum indeed, managing the line between what makes sense (economically or otherwise) and what's acceptable to an population. The coming wave of automation related job displacement is gonna make immigration related job los

That's true about wages (although some are close to South Europe at least). How is that hindering the EU though? Do you mean workers migrating for higher pay? Is that not, economically, beneficial for both parties?

Develop how/where exactly? What are the Eastern European countries missing development wise that's hindering the EU?

You say based on what information? Zfs in particular, with the safety features (like checksumming) it tries to guarantee, relies on ram not lying to you. http://research.cs.wisc.edu/adsl/Publications/zfs-corruption

Not just the FDA, but the EMA in Europe as well. "Non homologous use" or "substantial manipulation" makes it an ATMP (advanced-therapy medicinal product): http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/doc

I would imagine people who need either more AWS can supply (or cheaper) but cannot pay for it, and also haven't figured out how to run it themselves, to be a very limited set. Happy to be proven wrong though and curious about what you

How are you imagining solving latency issues? Many people want their DB to be close to their appservers. edit: and if it's an hosted service, I'm assuming decent networking options (ipsec et al)?

That is very much unsubstantiated, all kinds of athletes enjoy and thrive training fasted. It's probably much more complex in what's best for whom than just "much more likely to hit the wall". Type of metabolism, levels

You can always mitigate (duplicate safety not good enough, add triple, etc), at the end it comes down to risk/reward ratio and what's considered an acceptable risk. As a climber (and other extreme sports) I'm acutely aware of

I agree in theory, but in practice, it's impossible unless the entire world agrees on the same VAT rules, otherwise shopping across country barriers is bound to happen.

I am, also, very much imagining a situation like in the movie "Elysium" being both probable and probably inevitable; the more interesting question is will there be a revolution after?
