Yes, the disk mostly promises what you write there will be read back correctly, but that's at the disk level only. The OS, Filesystem and Memory generally do no checking, so any errors at those levels will propagate. We know it happen

Basically it's that memory changes out from under you. As we know, computers use Binary, so everything boils down to it being a 0 or a 1. A bit flip is changing what was say a 0 into a 1. Usually attributed to "cosmic rays",

That depends on where the data you need to keep track of is and your architecture. The important thing is, you want your audit log to be able to tell you: * Who * What * When * Ideally Why For any change in the system. Also wh

Literally just have a good audit log and then you get all of this for free and more.

If you have a good audit log, it really doesn't matter. You can always restore it if need be. If you have no audit log(or a bad one), like lots of apps, then you have to care a lot. Personally, I just implement a good audit log and the

VMS systems give you literal decades of uptime. Google, Amazon and other large providers regularly have outages, all the time. They are usually small in duration and localized. They are completely different mental models and ways of thinkin

I have seen it. Yes, they technically exist. Nobody buys them though. They are ridiculously expensive. Their use-cases in modern compute is a rounding error towards zero. We just don't build computers like that anymore, for good reason

Exactly! One would never, ever do that with x86.

In modern times, we have taken the everything breaks all the time, make redundancy and failover cheap/free approach. VMS(and the hardware it runs on) takes the opposite approach. Keep everything alive forever, even with hardware failur

I thought MSN was not owned by MS anymore, but turns out I was wrong. It's MSNBC that MS divested ownership in. MSN is still 100% owned by MS. At least they aren't filtering out bad MS news on MSN I guess.

Agreed on the larger picture. Oracle ZFS is calcified ZFS. Their last stable release it looks like was in January of 2023. OpenZFS released 2.3.1 a few weeks ago: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/releases It has dir

Sounds like maybe you were holding it wrong? This is year 20 for ZFS in production. Though Linux support a decade ago with ZFS was pretty rough around the edges. That's not true anymore for many distros of Linux.

The smart TV part is not connected to anything, there is no ethernet cable to it, and the WIFI is not setup. The remote for the TV is in a drawer. The Apple TV is the only thing connected, and it will auto turn the TV on/off by itself

I honestly never use find anymore, I just use ripgrep(rg). rg is so fast, that I don't worry about the ridiculously extra overhead of searching content. I can't remember the last time I used find.

Totally agreed, you can push the envelope pretty far if you are careful and knowledgeable. It just gets a lot easier and less error prone if you use a DB like PostgreSQL though.

double entry book keeping can be used to track any resource of any size, though it's particularly good at tracking money of any size. The upside of a "real database" like postgres is when you need multiple people in the books

Grrr. Browser/Web standard people went crazy with API's and never stopped to think how the world will abuse them to do crap like this.

This. I don't care about brand or model or anything. I care about interface/speed requirements and then $/size. Drives are interchangeable for a reason. :)

My local grocery store only has 1 brand, so I use that one. I don't know the brand, but apparently others say it's "Just Egg". I have no idea. I don't pay attention. If I ever got another option, I'd try that

I've only ever tried one brand. It's the only brand my local grocery store carries. It's a yellow carton with black writing, if that helps. I'm too lazy to go walk into the kitchen at the moment though.

Some vegetarians make exceptions for eggs, but I wouldn't call it "vegetarian" personally. You do you though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism

Fake/Vegetarian eggs are priced the same here, so I made the switch and am only using fake eggs now for most of my cooking.

First, it's usually structured that you meet X target, you get Y incentive. Second, what doesn't get clawed back is true of all companies though. So it's not unique to Tesla in any way. Some of it is a loan, I know Tesla had
