Pretty much. Even if custom costed exactly same money, it still means someone would need to wait 1-2 years before it is built vs just moving in to new house within a month

I think the "good house" would need to be defined first. Like, going by objective measures like "how well it is insulated and how much it costs to cool/heat it", or "how well it uses the space of the plot"

They just want to sell a bunch of houses quickly, not to create perfect houses. Good enough is quite literally good enough for them. There will be compromises because they build for average buyer, not for you. And people that are looking fo

Pretty much, although it's one-directional transfer of a volume or snapshot of one, not bi-directional one

It's like someone glued together LVM and RAID but on file level instead of block level. So you can make some fancy things like (relatively) cost-free snapshots, and some extra data safety with per-file checksumming. It also uses WAL (s

What are you talking about? Is this some '00s problems that were fixed long time ago and now you're repeating some myths ? I'm getting same (~300Mbit) speeds via nginx+ TLS as I get via SSH for just file download

The world had far fewer people before electronics, and they in part allowed for the agriculture to keep up. Even assuming things like tractors etc. still work see how much yield local farmer will get once he can't get their fertilizers

Also common for car purchases. Put lower amount on documents to pay less tax. Which often causes problem when the cars is defective and seller goes "sure, I will pay you back in full, the amount that is on documents". And buyer go

Entirely depends on how good it would become. It could also have some interesting avenues, like feeding some variables to the AI from say a video game (number and type of monsters on screen, mood etc.) to generate music reacting to what is

You can make great sounding music using nothing but free or extremely cheap software. But yeah, still need a good mic. Even when you go into hardware you can still get plenty for cheap.

We just used RAID6... expanding by more drives is easy while keeping data waste low and the "we want to put bigger drives now" case isn't all that problematic considering that what you save you waste on low efficiency of RAID

Yeah and COVID showed how much impact it can make. Also the part of now-vacant office spaces could be converted to residential, relieving a bit of pressure on the housing market.

It's safety. Same with thicker pillars which are worse for visibility but made thicker for rollover protection.

You'd think some algorithms would be considered near always wrong solution for the problem and so never used aside for very specific use case (like tiny microcontroller) but here we are.

With RAID5 you'd have higher probability of data loss. Remember, you just loss the only redundancy you had, brining your redundancy to same level as RAID1 with failed drive. ... except now you have more drives that can fail. With RAID6

Well, from my probe of 500 servers I have at work I have seen RAID1 rebuild failing zero times and RAID6 failing once (but we did recover it). Granted, that was a bit of uncommon case where: * someone forgot to order spares after taking las
