This isn't ZFS in Fuse - it is a native kernel module. BTRFS has yet to reach the stability of ZFS.

A big +1 Having an "AI" organize, edit and tag my photos frees up a lot of time. Part of the transition is learning to let go of the way I used to manage photos. I still want the right to take all my stuff with me - but I think G

You are not their target market - which is fine. There many good options for serious photographers. 90% of folks just want seamless backup and organization of their photos. Phone cameras are getting pretty amazing in quality these days. Goo

Photo search is pretty cool. I just searched for "James in the Mountains" and got photos of my Son in the mountains. I don't think postgres can do that :-)

Yes - it is common knowledge that Google (and others) use email for advertising. But you (or perhaps upthread) are implying that Google willingly hands over data to government authorities. The evidence would point to the contrary: Google (a

Indeed - and playing Devil's Advocate: Google is likely to have more legal resources to fend off unjust requests to access to your data.

Buffet is not a good example. He is much more than an investor. He takes a large enough position in his investments so that he has control (or major influence) in how his companies are run.

In a large field of funds, some small sample will do better than others. That is just statistics. Is there any objective evidence that there are people who consistently beat the market, over the long term? (And let's factor out those

These scammers called my 88 year old father, and managed to talk him in to attempting to install some malware. He isn't terribly computer literate, and Windows confuses the heck out of him (switched him to Chromebooks - so much bet

This would be perfect for the "This is Microsoft Windows calling" scams. You know the one - a dude with a very thick Indian accent who wants you to install some program to "fix" your PC.

Telemarketers are intrusive, and most do not respect the do not call lists, or they find creative ways around it. If they want to waste my time, I see no reason not to waste theirs.

Isn't it essential an alternate implementation of the same underlying spec? (appc). I don't think they need to "beat" docker to have a viable product.

I suspect some of those crashes are hardware related. Anecdotal for sure, but Google Maps has been solid for me on Nexus devices.

Dart is doing fine. It has not replaced Javascript (that was never going to happen) but it has seen a slow but steady growth in adoption. There are some amazing things happening with Dart on mobile (flutter.io), Dart on embedded (fletch), a

I see Go as having a nice niche for "systems" code that is above C, but more low level than say python. I think that is why we see it used in docker, kubernetes, etc. The ability to distribute binaries is quite handy for containe

Both of those platforms have fairly low barriers to exit. Moving off of github is a simple clone. Google Groups is archived, and there are many other alternatives. Unless you are paying for it, Slack message history vanishes.

by wstrange 11y ago
Loss of message history for one. Open Source projects can not afford to pay for archiving Slack messages. A lot of important discussions will vanish.

by wstrange 11y ago
Practically speaking, Slack does not do this either. Most open source projects can not pay for the archiving feature - so messages are deleted and gone forever.

My wife switched to a SP3 from a macbook, because it looked like a very compelling device. It lost all bluetooth and wifi - 4 months out of warranty (hardware issue). From googling - this was not a completely uncommon occurrence. Yes - we

I think "dying" is perhaps a bit of overstatement, but there is some merit to the notion. Containers may change the game. If you can containerize on top of something like Mesos, Kubernetes, etc - there is no need to run on top of

Google could sell a ton of Chromebook Pixels to developers if they would put a 512GB SSD in it. ChromeOS + Crouton + a decent SSD would make a killer development laptop.

That happened in 1996. People make mistakes. Give it a rest.
