The recommendation is still to store metadata on a raid 1 or 1/0 partition and the data on a raid 5/6. Apparently there's still some issues with raid 5/6

It still has an issue with getting stuck in a bad state if you let the free space drop too low (e.g. under 5% / 2GB). It might still be recoverable but it takes a lot of fiddling and work to do that.

In the US, a lot of car dealerships make a good portion of the profits from a car sale from the loan. E.g. the lender gives the dealer a kickback on the loan and that is a good portion of the total profit. It's somewhat analogous to ho

That failure mode is still there although it's been mitigated a bit. I hit it a few months ago but was able to recover after a few hours of doing various stuff.

Well, not selling controlling majority stake is fine. What people have issues with are the super-voting rights that where the people owning those rights get to play with other's money with the others not having much say on how that mon

It's been around in slang for a few years with a few variants, e.g. "I haven't seen her in a hot minute." I think it's just filtered into wider cultural vernacular.

It seems that btrfs is being phased out of fedora. It looks like Fedora will be moving to stratis storage over the next year or two. Btrfs is nice but it's raid5/6 support still seems shaky and there's odd corner cases that a

If a founder is going to VCs or the markets in general for funding, there's no way to really do this. I don't see how the vast majority of founders can realistically expect others to fund their companies and still let the founder

And FB is a lesson to a lot of companies and the public not to allow the same dual class stock structure. Zuckerberg can cash out a lot of his equity and still be the controlling force behind FB even though other people "own" a ma

Iran had a pretty strict P5 agreement under Obama that would have prevented Iran getting nukes for sanctions relief and other benefits. For some reason, a president decided to toss it for no apparent benefit. Trump literally said a day or t

The following wiki article has a section on it. Cluster munitions allow you to saturate areas and prevent infantry from advancing. The issue is that some of the submunitions malfunction and sit around on the ground and injury civilians (par

Could be due to better control of blood sugar. E.g. lower blood sugar increases inflammation, decrease immune response and provides bacteria a readily available source of food.

More to the point for Guam and similar locations, canned and non-perishable food can are probably around and more can be airlifted in to get people through it. It was pretty much the standard back in the day.

The dedup functionality in something like zfs or btrfs isn't all that great. It tends to be extremely memory hungry and to slow things down significantly. E.g. ZFS needs around 1-5GB of ram per TB of storage and writes need to be compa

The pause is for immigrant visas so most visas like H1 or H2 or O visas aren't affect this time. But it's definitely part of the US admin's overall theme of ratcheting up visa restrictions and making any immigration or travel

There was another similar flood on the same river about a year or two ago. The problem was the the glacial flooding started in Tibet and affected people just over the border (one of the videos is from the border crossing). There's no i

North Korea isn't doing so well, but it's doing better than Iraq, Libya, or Venezuela at least as far as the leadership is concerned. Their conventional forces being within artillery range of Seoul probably helps but having multi

I think they are the same with some software differences. I believe that the sampling rates and tolerances are different. For example, dexcom displays 5 minute samples while the stelo shows 15 minute averages (it internally gets a new sampl

There's some difference in the readings of a CGM due to sampling different things (blood with finger sticks vs intercelluar fluid for a CGM) and taking a bunch of vitamin C (pills or in food) can throw the readings off. But I think one

That thing about cities bussing their homeless elsewhere seems to be a pretty common urban myth. I don't think anyone has really shown that it's definitively happening on any large scale manner. And it should be relatively easy to

In practice, it'd probably look like switching to chrome for the majority of users. A lot of tech saavy users would install a plugin but that's a lot of friction especially for random sites or even for an important site. Using chr

It looks like silk top hats were still being made in the 60s so presumably it might still be possible to find people that worked in the factory and recover the knowledge if people really cared.

The data center might be more attractive but the office building provides more jobs and resources to the local community. You skipped that point in your reply. Even if most of the people working in the office building aren't from the

Yeah, I think it was in use before. The wiki article is probably incorrect in the 2021 date.

It doesn't help that at least one datacenter operator and possibly more promised municipalities in Arizona that they wouldn't use their water and then secretly used millions of gallons. This in the middle of water shortages.

Sounds like a copy and patch JIT ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copy-and-patch ). The python interpreter was experimenting with this and it provides a decent speedup.

How would that work? Wouldn't changing the IMEI regularly either get your phone blacklisted or it may not even get service due to the IMEI not being in your cell provider's system?
