For the microwave I was focused on Whirlpool since they had gotten high reliability rankings from a well-known reviewal magazine. However I did look at other higher end brands too and they all seem to have issues in the smart appliance spac

I’m sure you’re right. I’m probably projecting issues I see in my own organization since we switched to agile. Or attempted to. Or are continuously trying to attempt to.

I can’t help feel like the agile in business mentality is somewhat to blame for this. Focusing on getting core functionality sprint after sprint is great for adding new features but there is never enough time to go back and fix annoyances t

Right. Just like the pioneer anomaly it warrants investigation just in case if there is something going on we haven’t predicted. Even if it is eventually explained by a mundane process it’s still probably worth the refinement of techniques

Perhaps. Maybe if the same cohort of people who practice said laws weren’t incentivized to challenge existing laws and to make more laws there would be more resources to help judge.

I think that even an arbitrary name (e.g. quark colors blue, green, red) is easier to digest/process/memorize over a person’s name that may be from a language you are not familiar with. However that also points to another problem.

I hope it doesn’t catch on since it makes me die a little inside. It’s a very Reddit-type word though. I can easily imagine it being used by non-technical folk and tech journalists.

Sorry most of your argument here is going over my head. My mind gets the glazed over feel as soon as I hear the word “epistemology”. It seems like you are using the word “mind” as a specific technical word within the field of philosophy rat

I remember terrible times trying to get some Lucasarts and Origin games going in that era. You want a cdrom -and- a sound card? That’s crazy talk. No no don’t use sound blaster’s driver use ours and our crazy ass memory manager too. Oops

I wish articles like this could afford production-grade hardware to test on. When you’ve run large Fibre or SAS arrays in the past on enterprise hardware it’s hard not to see gaps in the testing methods/setup. Sequential writes metric

The main issue with big drives is that you are sitting in a degraded state for longer while you await the rebuild. That allows more time for another disk to fail while your rebuild is incomplete.

Mazda waves hi. Touchscreens auto- disable when driving but buttons/ knobs are still usable to control it. Last I heard they wanted to move to a HUD system.

5 seconds is the amount of time Linux takes to fail over to the next dns resolver in resolv.conf. You likely had a bad/unreachable DNS server.

I’m going to steal this whenever someone tells me they are a full stack developer from now on. Oh? So do you ship ICBMs?

by montjoy 7y ago
100% agree. This is one of the main reasons why I chose a Mazda over the Honda/Toyota equivalents.

Yeah we started ordering the ones with the supercap so we didn’t have to replace batteries anymore. Somewhat recently I dealt with LSI and Dell cards. Longevity seemed just fine for a normal 3 year server lifecycle. The only time we had an

We used the LSI 9286CV-8e (or dell equivalent) which was somewhere between $1000-$1500 back in the day. Worth it compared to babysitting any software RAID IMO.

by montjoy 7y ago
Hardware RAID controllers can do most if not all of these things.

by montjoy 7y ago
Last time I used ZFS write performance was terrible compared to an ordinary RAID5. IIRC Writes in a raidz are always limited to a single disk’s performance. The only way to get better write speed is to combine multiple raidzs - which means

Ok sure in that context I can’t think of any. The closest thing I know of (with a limited understanding of what you mean) is NFS4.2.

Can’t argue with that. Unfortunately there is no agile/“fail fast” in government.
