Maybe relevant to see how it affected APFS design decisions due to Be FS developers working on APFS. I am hoping Apple releases APFS with the xnu 10.13 code drop.

Yeah most things follow a Pareto principle, and I'm sure this is no different. Whatever I do career wise, I aim to be one of the best at it, at least the best that I can personally be. I suspect it would take a while to learn all the

It would be pretty comical to do so, just to muddy the already muddy term. But it has very little practical utility. I don't think any regulatory body requires a "real" UNIX these days -- sure, some products require a parti

The most appealing thing to me about that is performance based pay. It's not hard to imagine closing dozens of hires a year in a moderately interesting company. It probably feels great too, as you're greatly helping individuals

Sort of off topic but I am just kind of wondering if there is a safety net if I ever burn out, and how much money I am potentially not earning :o)... Any chance someone on here that was deeply technical transitioned into recruiting? Will y

You can basically buy the right to call yourself UNIX today from The Open Group. The most extreme example of this is z/OS, but Mac OS is also UNIX. As for a singular product it was always kind of muddy. There was early UNIX, Research

If you're open to other opportunities and interested in TCP, Ethernet drivers, file system work, jails stuff on FreeBSD for one of the biggest CDNs you can contact me at kbowling at llnw dot com. I am the hiring manager.

It's too bad KTLS was completed for FreeBSD but still not integrated.

Anyone smart enough to use SmartOS is not dumb enough to use MongoDB so nothing was lost.

I'm very familiar, but it is noteworthy for a Unix-derivative/vendor.

It's interesting digging around in UNICOS. They supported virtualization pretty early in the 90s it looks like, reading the interface for UNICOS on UNICOS

That sounds very pie in the sky, I can't imagine them cleaning 10m a month.

Do they actually have any significant revenue? I love developer tools companies, but there are several tools upstarts that have no proven business model. They look like really bad gambles in terms of VC investment, unless you can get in e

How many other studios can redefine copyright law though?

Goldilocks zone for this kind of stuff.. it's a bit simpler, most of what you need is in the base system, and a lot of people are doing the same type of builds. And for self-support, the freebsd-scsi and freebsd-net mailing lists will

There are a couple needful tweaks to this BOM for anyone wanting to follow this.. Only populate one CPU socket. Zone allocation between two NUMA nodes is kind of hard, especially since Ubuntu 16.04 zfs is pre- OpenZFS ABD where memory frag

This was a great preso. I think we need to fund regular audits of FreeBSD that use this type mindset.

Slack is a heaping pile of shit. I understand it lets you conduct text chat.. and basically works for that. But I don't understand the fawning. It's a massive resource hog. People have inadvertently DoSed my browser by pasting a

Make and most other build systems respect the CC and CXX variables. Switching compilers is a very common thing among systems developers.. bootstrapping OS builds, crosscompiling for a different arch, getting compiler feedback from another c

But it does allow you to treat it with suspicion and human judgement. If it's an album, you go re-rip or download it. If it's medical data, you don't use it.

That is the most contrived nonsense I've heard in a long time. You can't not afford to use ZFS, it works fine on a single disk and at least you'd know your data had mutated.

Negative, you wont know you _need_ to use the backups without these FS features, and by the time you finally do you could have rotated through them.

You must not read HW errata or device drivers. It's been posited that the main push for ZFS was perceived bugs in UFS that happened to be LSI firmware bugs once they had the capabilities of ZFS to detect them.

Most products in this space are pretty obtuse, so I'm excited about TimescaleDB because of the people who started it and the tech it's built on. I was really underwhelmed by problems with Influx, and I don't think this group

Pretty cool to read these stories about AIX. It's always been a nice system paired with HW often a couple years ahead of the performance curve, but it certainly became more and more of a sustaining effort after 2001.

It takes a few hundred ETH to have worthwhile leverage.. so they probably risked losing a substantial amount of trade volume and liquidity with the fiasco aside from loyal customers and early adopters. It wasn't just the natural marke
