My thoughts exactly. The article is quite inflammatory and tosses out some bold statements without really deep diving into them. My favorite: "Finally, the unpredictable latency of SSD-based arrays - often called all-flash arrays - is

2.5" NVMe is fine and more scalable than add-in cards (more slots) with increased serviceability. The equivalent add-in card is usually much more expensive than the 2.5" version.

I think transfire was referring to RAM in the system to act as a pagefile read cache, not RAM on the SSD to act as a cache there. There's no power risk to an OS-level read cache.

Indeed, but it's the illegal rentals which have made AirBnB successful and led to its giant valuation. There were legal rental sites before AirBnB, but none rose to such heights. AirBnB got rich by flaunting the laws on most of their l

Ironic that you're going to worry about legal issues while renting an illegal hotel room. Considering AirBnB is all about pushing boundaries and outright disregard for the law, the use of this script seems completely apropos.

The smoking area thing isn't a shaming technique. Japan is (or at one point was) the only first world nation where smoking is not on the decline. Tokyo is pretty dense, so the smoking areas is a way to keep people from getting burned o

That is odd. Don't most airlines work through a 3rd party that actually purchases and owns the planes?

Yeah, it is a sausagefest, but honestly, it's not terrible. Be outgoing. Don't try and argue with non-techies about Node vs Rails. Leave tech at work. Don't make it your entire life, and you'll do fine. It's not tha

Correct, the policy isn't clear and needs improvement. The bug bounty's policy definitely falls under the CSO's purview. So even if you approve of Alex's handling of the matter, you can't forgive him for running a s

Some debris is completely normal when the engine is first being started and breaking in. This is true for all internal combustion engines. That's why some designs use magnets to capture the debris and shavings. That said, this debris w

Can they not put a magnetic stub on the oil drain plug like motorcycles? ;) Or is the engine made from aluminum?

$189M in the city's budget goes directly to homeless services. That's roughly $25k per homeless person in direct spending. The city estimates it spends another $20k per homeless person in indirect city services (health, police, fi

Unexpected, high medical bills and crappy insurance coverage would probably bankrupt most Americans. A really unfortunate hospital stay can ruin many people's lives.

Palo Alto, Mountain View, and other peninsula communities don't spend money on homeless shelters for two big reasons: 1) San Francisco spends a ton of money on the homeless. Over $40k per homeless person per year. "If big SF spend

It's definitely possible to offer that on a monthly basis if you model that each customer stays for 36-39 months. Also, I doubt that they are using replicated storage, but are using erasure coding instead. Also, they dedupe before uplo

This is no longer the case. Their implementation of Happy Eyeballs now prefers IPv6 over IPv4. This is as of iOS 9 and El Capitan.
