Broadly speaking, you have two options. One is, make the server faster so that it can keep operating during a rebuild. You could do this by adding more drives. The other option is, add a second server to handle the load while you fix the fi

There are three drawbacks to the setup you describe: - If a drive fails, the system is offline until you restore from backup. Fine for personal use, but not okay if customers are paying you for a service. - If a drive fails, any changes sin

No, it's not okay for businesses to decide who to serve. That's totally different than deciding what to serve.

I like sharp, pixely text too but I don't like the color fringing you get on LCDs when you disable subpixel antialiasing. I wish I could get a display without this consistent chromatic abberation. One way to accomplish this would be to

I've used Mathematica extensively, and it's very nice. It's better at symbolic algebra than Matlab and much more intuitive than Maxima. Its primary strength is computing purely symbolically with no numerical methods, for when

What about MAPS, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies? They've been around for decades and have done great work. Aren't they the first?

Making a dual NVMe PCIe card would require either an expensive PCIe switch chip or PCIe bifurcation, which needs to be configured in the BIOS if the motherboard supports it at all.

Performance depends very much on what you are doing. Native Python code is much slower than Go, but Python code execution is not the bottleneck in many Python programs. NumPy may be faster than Go and disk IO is the same speed in each.

If fuzziness and compression artifacts are a signal, it makes sense that eliminating them would reduce filesize.

Python 3 demonstrates exactly how much change a language project can get away with. Python is just barely managing the transition; any more change and it would have ended up like Perl 6. Perhaps future developers can use this data to plan l

I use Gnumeric and Abiword. I like the straightforward UI that doesn't try to be innovative or flashy and focuses on functionality. Do many people actually need a suite of several interconnected office apps? I just need to edit documen

I write in cursive, and I like it, but I don't think it's important enough to teach in school. There are modern skills we should add to the curriculum; removing non-essential subjects is the only way to make room for new ones.
