There's certainly many dimensions along these lines that if you don't think about them in relation to the type of software development you are doing, and what you have done, you will take a long time to improve.. But this being th

Decision anxiety, measuring things, and a preference toward bias are basically all you need to skewer anyone who has a different opinion than you. If they want more data they are anxious if you want more data they rush to an opinion.. Then

RAID expects non deterministic bad behaviors. A group of these drives receiving the same pattern of block accesses could exhibit the same behavior at the same time depending on how they were designed.. Similarly, I think it is usually done

Sounds reasonable, but why can't we just compare it, the mAh of this phone's battery is a secret or something?

Yes, changing the plan from one arrived at by people familiar with the problem sure sounds like something that would need either talking to those people or engaging with the problem for months or years.

I hate to break it to you, but threat actors aligned with any major state are targeting everything with an Internet presence all of the time.

This thread seems overly complex given that an engineer tasked with designing a RAID storage to replace an unplanned haberdashery would probably start with looking up what the requested acronym stands for.

Yeah I get your non sequitur. It is magical thinking that reduced staff is different if the intention was different.

The stranger part is that AFAICT, eliminating all of this complexity is a rounding error unless the topic is the military or mandatory spending. They went white as sheet when someone suggested they would touch something that could matter.

That's a lot of required purchases of the wrong hardware for the business that the company providing the statistics is in.

It's certainly interesting how failure modes play out for consumers given that they more often run drives to some failure.. While I wouldn't buy a HDD as a consumer, I think they are all around better from this angle. Many consume

Wouldn't that failure mode be most equivalent to something like a bad blocks failure on a hard drive? Both can have random ~controller electronics failures, and I think the SSD is often designed to be impossible to recover in that situ

It's interesting that the Bush family had to all go out to half wit states to get elected somewhere instead of being assigned positions by their father.

I thought a military had a responsibility to run tribunals and then execute a head of state that uses their power for a promotion, greatly reducing the chance of getting this far into a fraudulent one. Bringing a promotions run to an end, l

I wouldn't call VLC friendly UI, but it is the same UI I used when Netflix the DVD service began and the same UI I taught family members. When someone shows me Netflix, every year or two, I have no idea what I am looking at.

I find it sad that the US is confused about what a work contract is. If you can tell someone to take unpaid leave whenever you feel like it then they don't really need to call you back or explain why they won't be in next week.

If they are actually raising the number of launches then it could also be a huge increase of contractors in areas the company never built its own competence.

We have a lot of correlations and theories and now we can test over more than 10 years and see what happens when with patients where we have successfully kept these markers down from a much earlier start. I just hope they control correctly

Who cares about how Obama reduced costs? Someone who has an objective besides reducing costs and scum who rise to the top on negligence and then lie about their priorities. Tesla's full self driving is a negligence scam that kills peop

I have no roof but I would happily have a day of battery around in the bad weather and use it to drastically cut my electricity costs in good weather. In a world with competitive grids or grids that couldn't charge negative, I think so

My impression is that there are prized PhD jobs that people go back to school in anticipation of and there are essentially non-PhD jobs that are filled by people who don't go back or H1B workers who have a PhD.

I think the US is going to be inundated with thousands of actions going on between other countries to replace it and it will be able to respond to dozens of them. They can of course choose long preexisting legislation as a hill to die on, b

The US spent a long time arguing for globalization and free trade, proposing all the treaties, etc, but the US isn't a real republic so anything its signature is on is worth dirt.

Don't you mean background checks? A company sees the value in talking to 4 people of the candidates choice for HIPAA is just sad.

There was a period where doctors would run every test on the list.. They stopped this because even if everything were free, each test has a false positive rate with a psychological cost to the patient. If anything the US has a problem with
