Many sheds are built this way. Some even lighter - e.g. the overpriced wood sheds you buy pre-built use very minimal framing. And they all can be moved just fine. I commented because it's somewhat surprising how easy it is and how well

I didn't say they were the same thing. And I meant what I said: zoning allows a shed without building permits in most places. It depends on the jurisdiction but because of model zoning codes the rules are almost all the same acro

It's possible to be naive and not have that kind of attitude . Or is she naive to the awesome level of her naivete, Dunning-Krueger style? The only thing she's right about is she's genius at gaming the venture capital world.

Check your city/county, but in most places in CA and the rest of the US, zoning allows up to a 120 square foot shed without building permits. Neighborhood HOAs, if applicable, would be the other restriction. 36 square feet? good to go.

After reading this about Theranos: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29765308 It seems that we need to post this. Another of my all time favorites. She didn't go to jail yet, but if there was a law against hubris, s

I've considered that - and it's true in a way - the ones you see are the survivors. But it's surviving the trends and whims of size and style. And people wanting ice-makers and automatic defrost cycles. Not that like only 5%

but you forgot that 1960s appliances lasted about 80 years. 1970s were almost as good and lasted about 60 years. 1980s were noticeably worse and last about 25-30 years. 2005 appliances were dead 10 years ago. So I can get a 1960, 1970 or 20

Nice! example of a Straw Man followed by Ad Hominem, with a touch of No True Scotsman (e.g. if you aren't a racist Ron Paul Liberian, then you aren't a true libertarian). Whether you agree or disagree with a position, one should m

here's a weird idea: enforce and prosecute the laws that are already on the books. there's plenty of other "progressive" cities that don't have this problem. it doesn't take a new idea or viewpoint or effort. j

What a jackhole ! A study in basically why open source works and is always better - than crappy corporations that would write a blog like this. 1. "A coherent vision requires centralized design" - BULLSHIT! you can do open source

--directory makes those files automatically for you actually, I think those numbers are pretty good. you can zpool export to unmount and then run a non-destructive read test with --filename=/dev/nvme0n1:/dev/nvme0n2... a

OK, I found part of the problem. I resurrected my old setup and switched to using fio (was using iozone and some others). When you specify --filename= in fio but have multiple jobs, they are all sharing the same file ( https://fio

Well that's mysterious. I have a similar but smaller system - two EVO 970s on a 4x4x4x4 PCI card just like you have (I planned on adding more if it went well). I went through similar issues benchmarking it about a year ago. At the end

I do think it sounds like compression might be part of it. I'm thinking that a) fio might create test data that is "trivially" compressible and b) this might occur before directio says "ignore the buffer cache and writ

Well, the post-apocalypse won't be nearly as bad as I thought! I can handle a slight flavor change, if it were an emergency.

Something seems wrong here. No doubt this configuration rocks, but it should be physically impossible to get better bandwidth than 8x 3.5GB/s = ~28GB/s that the raw drives offer, which is also well matched to the PCIe x4 slots ban

can't the governance structure of NPM remove and reassign the NPMish "ownership" and authoritative repo to a new fork in circumstances like the maintainer abandoning it, going to jail, being a dumbass or whatever? If NPM is t

A thoughtful piece, and most supporting points are real and I think I agree with them. However, I don't think the conclusion "Open Source is broken" follows from the arguments. The most concise counter-example I can come up w
