Right, btrfs has proven itself as a stable filesystem which is not prone to corrupting itself on single or mirrored drive configurations.
Except it isn't, and does so regularly.
The practical implications of zfs over btrfs far outweigh the architectural encapsulation of zfs. This limitation primarily relates to arc, a situation which has plauged freebsd, illumos, and even Solaris since the changeover from sparc to x86. It is drastically better now across the board, particularly on linux, where the native memory mapping has been taught to play nice.
If not to create stratification of product lines, then to provide a stopgap measure to reduce the likelihood of component failure. For instance, the same motor in corvettes as suburbans... with torque limiters on the 4 ton trucks to not potentially blow out the transmission or drive train, because trucks are supposed to be more reliable than a sportscar..
I personally use whatever, but its irritating to work on other's code which isn't using what I use by default - because then I've got to go through and reformat.
Of all the games to pick, this is not a good example.
It has been positively plagued with random stability issues and glitches. 'Tuning' doesn't account for it, as many many people have invested significant time trying to get it to work well.
If the game itself offered more engaging gameplay or actual technological advances, it'd be one thing. As it stands there are many superior alternatives. It's just a poorly written, bloated game.
It's funny, I've thought a time or two about leaving IT and starting a lawn and snowplowing business. Why? Pay isn't quite as good, but except in the winter when you're plowing, you set your own hours, don't need to interact with people, and the pay is pretty damn good just the same. If only for allergies....
Our 'lawn boy' is an 18 (now 19?) year old gay kid. He's been mowing lawns for 3 years, every summer. He has bought his own new truck -with cash - and all the accessories you'd expect. He makes at least $70k/year after taxes, and that's just with the people we know are his customers, paying voluntarilly, in cash/check, $20-40 at a time.
* cost of living/price of housing per foot * food costs are insane * the culture is hostile to child rearing (even eg. Facebook offer bereavement leave and adoption assistance... but no on-premises childcare? That's standard for many large companies throughout the country.) * the tax rate is obscene * the tech work culture is extremely ageist, and anyone over 30 is going to encounter it * the SF area IT culture actively encourages career instability (which is problematic if you'd ever like to buy a house).
You can make half as much in another locale and have twice the quality of living, if not more, in many other metro areas in the US, working in IT... if you're going to the bay area, you're likely in it to make a mark and a name, not to raise a family.
So if other methods aren't as lethal as a firearm, wouldn't you want to maintain access to firearms to a) provide a means for suicidal people from maiming themselves severely and permanently, b) allow them to ease their suffering in as humane a fashion as possible?
If people are going to try to kill themselves for real, they're just going to do it. Reducing the margin of error and making it easier seems like the more civilized way to do this, don't you think?
Have you seen the show Dark Matter? It tries really hard to be Firefly-esque - identical (if shallower) archetyped characters (bravado gunman, gifted girlchild, etc.) , all with a similar gist. At least in the first couple episodes, that's as far as I got due to the insufferable dialog and acting.
And without the characters - the acting, the motion, etc. - it'd not be the same. And which is harder, impersonating someone, or playing a unique character? I'm fairly certain the latter, due to how many impersonators there are...
Now, if you had a fan-made Firefly continuum? If production quality was good, I can definitely see that being potentially viable due to the love that fans put into their stuff....
Fuck that. I want a John Wayne styled LCARS first.
"Life is hard when you're stupid." "Howdy, partner." "That'll be the day." "Take 'er easy there, Pilgrim." "I wouldn't make it a habit of calling me that, son."
I would think you'd need a fairly substantial burden of proof for this type of thinking.
So, without a strong government (which is using a big stick to take approximately half of everything, currently), you'd have chaos and strong men with big sticks taking everything?
What you're saying is that voting disenfranchises people and removes their ability to exercise self-determination if they either lose, or don't vote.
If the implications of a vote have such broad reaching implications as to change the course of history, to impoverish people or to make people rich, then the system is wrong: it is a system designed to increase inequity, as power always begets power. Yes, democracy increases inequity.
And, to wit, you can't fix a system by being a part of the system, particularly not a dichotomy like our political system. That isn't how the money and vote brokering works. Sorry: you become a part of he system by being a part of the system. It's already happened with Johnson - he's "sold out" the libertarian party, significantly - and it will happen further.
The Dept. of the Treasury can not be eliminated, as it was founded on direction from the Constitution.
The IRS itself, didn't exist until the Civil War (and that should be a very big clue to you as to how legal it is).
The Revenue Act of 1862. Look it up. It's the sole basis for the IRS, and it was unconstitutional as the Constitution REQUIRES taxation to be uniform - which the tax code has never been.
Sadly, the fact that Johnson is absolutely not "libertarian" and is basically "Donald Trump with Pro-Pot Support" really doesn't push anything new into the political arena, given that in the past 4 years we've seen a move towards near-national pro-pot support at the state level...
This is the beginning of the end of the modern era.
It was modern medicine - antibiotics, mainly - which allowed the advances which make modern life possible. Things like space flight, or even high capacity public transit, become untenable when the possibility of fatal bacterial strains being spread in the public: people will shun crowded, filthy public transit for fear of contracting something.
Virtualized platforms also have a hard time with entropy, as their hardware is emulated.
There are several daemons you can use, eg. haveged or randomsound, or entropyd. You can also use network broadcast traffic to seed entropy (can't recall how at the moment), and various other sources. What's needed, I think, is a means to source all of these to generate entropy so this becomes less of a problem.
What happened here can be analogous to scenarios such as the following:
* toaster instantly carbonizes toast * tapping the accelerator causes it to stick, accelerating against the brakes
If a car has a functionality such as 'autopark' (or 'summon', which suggests the user would be able to do it without being in the vehicle), it should not matter whether the person is in the car or not. It should do the right thing, every time, with complete obstacle avoidance - not just when there's no curb or wall in the way.
The exact same thing could happen in the same scenario, taken from the 'official' ad video found on Tesla's site, here:
1) Wife goes shopping in her Tesla 2) Husband comes back from shopping with a new canoe, secures to back of garage with hooks suspended from the ceiling 3) Wife comes home, parks in driveway, goes inside 4) Wife uses summon mode to park vehicle 5) New canoe is now implanted in the windshield of vehicle.
Regardless of whether the user accidentally or intentionally activated the mode, the mode performed improperly, resulting in vehicle damage.

These days, if you've worked for the same IT company for more than a handful of years, you're a long term employee...
Not sure where you get the idea that being remote in another town doesn't make you long term by default?
Uh...
Most expensive, perhaps. And, maybe there are tiers, where they hide the good people in the back room...
But from what I've seen, there is little to distinguish them from wipro.
And that is why wipro is dominating global corporate IT services.
Ah, a "just doing my job" apologist...

No 401k or insurance necessary.

It's all of that, yes. But it's also:
* cost of living/price of housing per foot

I've been busy flagging the specious content-free claims on my feed, and it's working. I'm no longer seeing many CNN or Snopes links on my feed.

Nah, it'd result in some pretty crappy rip-offs.

Because that theme hasn't been tried a billion times in other shows?
I can think of a half dozen shows which fit that criteria and with only marginal retrofitting it'd be what you describe.
Fuck that. I want a John Wayne styled LCARS first.
"Life is hard when you're stupid."
"Howdy, partner."
"That'll be the day."
"Take 'er easy there, Pilgrim."
"I wouldn't make it a habit of calling me that, son."
That would seem to invalidate the value of a vote, then.
You're not voting for someone, you're voting against the guy who wants to steal from you and destroy what you've got.
I'd agree entirely. It's basically thuggery, and no amount of rhetoric validates it.
I would think you'd need a fairly substantial burden of proof for this type of thinking.
So, without a strong government (which is using a big stick to take approximately half of everything, currently), you'd have chaos and strong men with big sticks taking everything?
How disingenuous.

I'd imagine a good half of the people on slashdot are (or at least were, 10 years ago) in the top 1%.
Wrong.

Yep, though I think this time, the establishment may actually allow there to be a -different- party come next election, be one of the chosen two.
It'll be the Democrats and the Libertarians in 2018 or 2020, but all the Libertarians will really just be Republicans...
Sadly, the fact that Johnson is absolutely not "libertarian" and is basically "Donald Trump with Pro-Pot Support" really doesn't push anything new into the political arena, given that in the past 4 years we've seen a move towards near-national pro-pot support at the state level...
Won't be long before they ship the TV with a cellular modem you can't disable, usable only for the purposes of the manufacturer...
