LibreSSL is a special case which doesn't fit your example. They threw away code and didn't rewrite most of it - because it was supporting useless stuff. Features like heartbeat (see Hearbleed), obsolete and insecure ciphers, tons

Those aircraft carriers looked absolutely nothing like the ones from today. They were basically mostly normal ships with a flat top, thanks to the fact that they didn't have to deal with jets. Propeller planes needed no takeoff catap

Rear-facing seats are not illegal I think (obviously not allowed for the pilot, currently) - and they have been amply proved to actually be safer. They've been the standard on military planes (again, not for the pilot :-) ) for quite a

This will of course be a matter of personal preferences, but yes, I concur with the sentiment: Apple made its MacBook line worse, not better: - They confine better specs to the touchbar models, which I would tolerate (not love) if it had th

This is because one (the X1) is tapered - you "experience" the thin side (keyboard) while the thick part is on the back. The 450/60/70 is just a flat slab so it maintains its thickness along its whole surface (although t

You are likely enormously underestimating the % of HN crowd who got into computers, science, engineering, etc because they were inspired at a young age by stuff like this. NASA is doing a good thing with promotional actions like this.

I'm sure it's more than that: The express lifts remain for too long at the "key" floors to pick up more people. This is probably some energy vs practicality balance that can be adjusted, and that we're very likely g

ZFS on FreeBSD and on Illumos has been used, abused, tested and stressed all the way to the Moon and beyond. Loads of people with loads of data over loads time. This makes bugs appear, and get addressed, and eventually gives you confidence

It's the absolute opposite of skewed. It's fair and representative. If a country needs XX TWh/year, this is exactly how many deaths will be caused by the various production methods. You car analogy is on the other hand comple

I'm not trying to defend ZFS' lack of the ability to add a vdev to an existing RAIDZ/Z2. That would be extremely nice to have and has tons of legitimate uses, for many of which there is no acceptable substitute as you point o

If you mean turning a 4-disk raidz2 into a 5-disk raidz2, indeed that's unfortunately not yet possible (unless you had built it with an extra vdev sparse file and run it in this degraded state - effectively you had a raidz and not a z2

Maybe this is just me being very naive, but how does it help? It doesn't actually change the properties of the underlying numbers. 10 (decimal) is not divisible by 3, and rewriting it in base 12 as A won't change that. You simply
