Modifiable snapshots are called clones in ZFS. Everything you said about snapshots is possible with ZFS with clones+snapshots. Clones are just as instant as snapshots. Runnin ZFS in linux is not good idea. That's why I'm currently

It takes easily another 10 years before btrfs is where ZFS is now reliability and feature vise and it might not have all the features even then.

Tyson is right from business perspective. There is no business value in going to Mars. There are only rocks there and even if you sell ad space from the rocked and get sponsor, it will not cover the risk × value. If business is going into s

You move from the second camp to the first camp when you have to read massive amounts of code and commit logs. You are also right. Small projects don't need them because you have to time to to look trough the few changes fast. Linux de

I'm huge fan of CL and dynamic typing. That said, I think static type analysis done right has it's place. I don't see any reason why you can't integrate static analysis into dynamic language development process like in

Good news. There will be no replacement for ZFS for decade or more. Btrfs is nice project but it will be behind features and will be the "untested one" for long time.

When properly done, aggressiveness and cursing at people is way to emphasize things. In the scale of emphasis it falls somewhere below passive aggressive and using all caps. Here is the example sentence in standard hacker rudeness scale: 0.

But is he right? Why should we not spit on people who don't care about commit logs. When Linus is insulting person, that stings a while. Shitty developer is insulting and harassing everyone day by day. Being honest and aggressive is wa

They could make this one work if they use laws that force Google, Microsoft, etc. to build their datacenters in Brazil. I think it's would be good idea in general. If you provide significant infrastructure services from distant countri

Thank you. FreeNAS seems good.

What is the status of ZFS? I have been running Solaris for years only because ZFS is so incredibly good as fileserver for mid sized company and for personal use.

Climate skepticism is mostly Anglo Saxon phenomenon and there are studies that show it. Google it up. These tools get payed to write this stuff.

You feel. You know what. It can be shown that climate skepticism is mostly Anglo Saxon phenomenon. It seems to be related to political and lobbying efforts. Most of the world, South America, Europe(outside UK), Russia, India, China, ..., ac

Yes. I'm 100% sure. If you don't believe me go and look at how we are capable of managing our resources in Sahelin region.

The main failure of this article is that it assumes that social problems are outside biology and that they are easy to solve. Currently world produces enough food for everyone. Then why do we have 700 - 800 million malnourished people, even

If for each two jobs automation removes, it creates one new job. The one new job pays less than two previous jobs. This changes the balance between capital and work. Workers share from production has been in steady decline in all OECD count

That multiplying two floats idea is clever. You could use two random double floats (2*64 bits = 128 bits). It would be extremely unlikely that they are found by accident and just running javascript in the browser could leak AES keys.

There is nothing suspicious with that. He has worked previously in mostly corporate and private context, so 2048 is just fine. Now he works with people and data NSA wants their hands on and he wants the data to be secure also in the future.

Yes. We can call it capitalism. Capitalism is private ownership of the means of productions. There is nothing in capitalism that implies less inequality. If the balance between capital and work switches to favor capital more, there will be

Unix and Common Lisp are similar in many ways: 1. Both are operating systems 2. Both are conceptually simple. 3. There is always nice command that does what you want but you somehow forget it. I can't believe that Common Lisp has just
