My intuition is that it would be almost always cheaper to pay e.g. Norway and Saudi Arabia to not pump out the captured carbon (in form of fossilized plant matter) in the first place, instead of pumping it out in the form of oil, burning it

Do you have any source on that? Specifically, it has the option to enable a "Diagnostic Data Viewer" that shows the data it sends (as JSON). I've just enabled that, so there is not much to see, but so far it has only transmit

Of course fsync() sends a flush to the disk (unless you use non-standard mount options or "eatmydata"). They may not honor the FUA bit, though, but hopefully nobody relies on this if they expect it to work with consumer disks (See

The problem is that ZFS doesn't have an offline repair tool. A (granted unlikely) bit flip in an important data structure that gets written to disk makes the whole fs unmountable and that's it (idk if it has a tool to rescue file

Yeah, but matchmaking only works if you have enough players per region and/or small matches. With 64 players per match this becomes difficult really fast. Battlefield has the additional difficulty that some pleople want to (only) play

What annoys me even more is that in Germany e.g. the wages of bishops are directly payed for by the state. Only priests and lower levels are payed via church taxes. As usual it's a stupid historic thing dating back to 1803 and not one

As far as I understand this would be a "mere aggregation" since the application and the kernel module communicate at arms length through the kernel syscall interface https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.htm

As a result of the paper linked in this article sqlite has a new setting PRAGMA synchronous=EXTRA; It is not the default (default is usually FULL).

There is also a huge (unsolved) gender issue with e.g. occupations. Every occupation has a male and female form and traditionally the male form is used to address a mixed group. English only has this in a few (easily fixed) cases like busin

There are already 1873 German Aldi discounters in the US. Maybe it's not where the HN croud buyes their stuff (that would be trader joe's ;) ). But there is a way to get cheap fresh produce in the US now.

Ok, so the way OVH can solve the problem is the same way e.g. Amazon SES solves the problem. 1. They block all outgoing mail (outgoing 25, 465 and 587) and only open it up once you have submitted a ticket where you decribe for what purpose

Here is a paper using diesel cheating to estimate health effects of diesel cars: http://ftp.iza.org/dp12427.pdf One cheating diesel car in 1000 cars increases ozone, PM2.5 pollution by 1.33%, 1.99% respectively. Each additi

Well, at least in this case one can abort (or go into some read-only mode) in case of fsync() returning failure. With most storage media that is the correct thing to do anyway. Having multiple processes and having the fsync() error returned

They probably prevent it from starting and later do self checks (checksums), check for wine using other methods and then game-ban accounts in waves to hide how they detected cheating/wine. There isn't a general way to prevent chea

Perhaps someone older can correct me if I am wrong, since this is difficult to research: Here in Germany the tax difference between diesel and gasoline was mainly created in 1991. Gasoline prices were increased to pay for German re-unificat

For internal storage Apple has control over the hardware. They can just choose hardware with better internal error correction/detection, so block level checksumming on the software side doesn't make much sense in this case. For ex

I'm more pessimistic. People will come up with something to use up all easily available fossil fuels no matter what population size. E.g. via space tourism, the moon being the new Mount Everest. This can easily be seen by how much more

So they painstakingly built a Linux syscall ABI into the Windows NT kernel (including tricky stuff like fork()). Then they just abandon that approach and run the Linux kernel in a VM/or something like user mode Linux/coLinux ( ht
