How compatible are the various ZFS forks? Is it possible to create ZFS volume on macOS and mount it on Linux, FreeBSD and Illumos all the same? I'm asking because we are still missing a good cross-platform filesystem with modern journa

This type of deployment is a perfect fit for NixOS. Immutable deployments with zero configuration drift, easy rollback and options to both push and pull the system configuration updates. It's also easy to customize the system to the ha

No. Defer has a role, which is to reduce the number of issues related to resource return like closing file descriptors and returning pool objects. Don't use defer when there is only one branch in your code. Remove defer when optimising

This line of reasoning is only valid if rate-limiting is in place. If the database gets breached for example then the attacker can do a lot more iterations, even if the password hash are salted.

Some people say that they don't have time to contribute back because they have a family and and a life. At the same time, pretty much every company depends on OSS to operate. Shouldn't contributing be an integral part of work? In

It's the prisoner's dilemma. If they were all not participating it would be fine. But because some are, and Google is ranking them higher-up, all of them now have to participate.

Can you talk a little bit about the implementation details? I assume that it's using WebRTC data channels to upload the file. WebRTC includes STUN / TURN to bypass firewalls so it makes it a great fit. My guess is that the perform

It's what it says, for some extensions, whois information is managed by the registry. Namecheap is legally obliged to provide the registrant information to the registry and they publish the whois information. The same restriction also

In this context, the Phone is supposed to be on the same network for latency reasons. Having multiple phones at home is not a big issue.

The argument on both sides is around financial burden: * Pay more for delivery because not using Amazon Prime * Pay more to buy an Android phone When making this argument it's obvious that buying a new phone is much more expensive than

Most of the time the publishers just forward the abstract or sample to peers and then make their decision based on that. Imagine HN where you are only allowed to publish your own content and random users would be selected to evaluate your w

Nicely done. Next step, remove cash to trace all the porn pass purchases. Although I suspect most people don't even care and will use their debit card already.

It's distasteful of Go to impose a filesystem layout. Any other language that I work with understands that dependencies should be self-contained within the project folder. Each project has it's own set of dependencies that have be

It's because us remote-workers can keep the Hacker News tabs open with nobody watching :) OP is suggesting that the research is invalid because it didn't look at the company level productivity, which is then an excuse to validate

This logic doesn't even hold the basic scrutiny. 0. The group productivity argument is completely unsubstantiated. 1. Trust in employees is fundamental, why even go there. 2. There are remote-first companies with great culture. 3. Ad-h

A simple thing that's been missing for a long time now is a way to patch existing secrets in the KV store. Since the secret itself is composed of keys and values it quickly becomes cumbersome to just update one of those. I guess now th

I spent so much time resurrecting ElasticSearch and then developers wouldn't even use it because the query language is based on ngrams and they want grep-like capabilities instead. Unless there are hundreds of GB/day to index it&#

Related to that: if a private repo is forked, the target account doesn't need a paying subscription. In that sense, it's the root repository holder that is paying for the new private repo. I'm not arguing if it's a good

Nice, no need to ship fat containers anymore! Just bring your own developer tools with `cntr`. I guess one of the requirements is to have root on the machine?
