BTRFS was marked stable in 2012 yet it still has abysmal performance compared to zfs, ext4, xfs, etc.

Third point could still use something similar to FHS while encoding hashes as file names e.g /api/$TRIPLET/bin/$hash-$name Fourth you could have each package have it's own user/group

Because you can encode the same information within the files and some dirs while keeping the benefits of a filesystem, heck you could encode what nix uses sqlite for using symlinks, files and dirs

Nix has a few shortcomings: * The syntax isnt well liked. * The package manager relies on global state which kills the use of sharing / over NFS. * The nixstore treats a filesystem as an object store. * Related to above, permissions ar

Consistent to someone's whims and not consistent in a defined standard (e.g. first letter of each dash separated word, etc) isn't consistent in my opinion

Will the container runtime be OSS? It would be nice to use this outside of a managed offering

The main problem with NixOS that the author touches on is the isolation as well as the global state NixOS maintains for mappings in the nixstore which makes NixOS root unsharable over NFS. There have been talks on #nixos of creating a LKM,

This depends on the definition of the word microkernel, in the classical definition yes it will be much slower due to IPC, for something like an exokernel though it will be much faster than even a monolithic kernel.

These are workarounds and not good practices

The problem of using all-encompassing filters to secure applications is they are crap. Take for example something using Bernstein chaining where permissions are properly separated for each process, with pledge you can restrict access, with

Yep it's going to get worse as well and it's not trades its inequality, how can someone making $10-15/hr pay for $10k tuition and astronomical rise in CoL..

So my understanding of DDR5 has on chip ECC is needed due to the ever increasing need for -Ofast, will/does PCIe have the same requirements?

ZFS is still the best FS out there but a good rule of thumb is to look over the open and closed issues and see how things are handled and the problems for a given project, a sort of issue-driven-assessment.

So ZFS on truenas/freebsd is in some weird twilight zone of great stability and horribly broken, we ended up having VM corruption after removing an l2arc cache drive on truenas. I do agree with the Ceph being much more complex which is

With a remote workforce what is stopping people to move to South America, etc? Cost of living is rising dramatically with YoY housing prices hitting 20-30% (even in middle of nowhere) it just doesn't make sense financially if you arent

Well the NixOS idea is the opposite of what you describe, minus the implementation which does have mutable data.

100% this but the macroeconomics of it are simple, by pushing low interest housing and food goes up astronomically so the economy ends up with the backbone of the labor force (>$20/hr) being priced out of everything. The only fast s

Or you know you could just if (!malloc_tab()) do_unload();. But that assumes firefox wasn't coded with malloc can never fail.

The article is input from a worker which states pay is crap and a company which states they can't find anyone and offer $12/hr, this is very much a problem with the business

by nwmcsween 5y ago
Same drivel different business category, if you want workers you raise wages, whining about not being able to attract workers but not doing anything to attract workers is useless news.
