No it doesn't. You are comparing apples to oranges. ZFS works because it intentionally "Flattened the stack" -- Yes, this runs counter to the layered Unix approach -- but sometimes that is NOT the best design decision.

With Linux you _already_ have pretty generous terms.

Obviously you've _never_ worked on any games. Art, Music, Levels, Previous Executables, etc. are all valid things to keep in a repo.
Stop using shitty source repositories that don't know how to handle binary blobs.
Scientists should have been doing this all along so they can get independent confirmation.
That would require Google actually having some balls.

That's because you lack experience. A classic trick is to use an union:
union int_float_t
{
uint32_t i;
float f;
};
If you actually understood the IEEE754 32-bit and 64-bit format you wouldn't be so naive.

> What if the universe always existed, and always will?
Considering that the 1st Law of Thermodynamics says that:
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed.
I would tend to agree with you.
Either
a) The universe has always existed, or
b) God has always existed.
Either way you end up with the atheist's F word: Faith.

The problem is: btrfs, exfat, ext3, ext4, fat, jfs, reisderfs, and xfs ALL SUCK -- they all propagated write errors
FS / read / write
btrfs.. | prop prop prop
exfat.. | prop prop ignore
ext3... | prop prop ignore
ext4... | prop prop ignore
fat.... | prop prop ignore
jfs.... | prop ignore ignore
reiserfs | prop prop ignore
xfs.... | prop prop ignore

It may have been the RAID write hole ?

"Dumb" API's, such as the ones implemented in Linux, have a STRICT layered approach like this:

Jonathan Frakes (Riker) will direct episodes in both series! So them watch'em, and you be the judge. Who knows, you might end up like both. ST:D for being too serious, and The Orville for being too light.
The Orville (TV Series) (1 episode)
- Pria (2017)
ST:D -- not yet announced
> It's a solid show
That's debatable. The Orville is more Star Trek then ST:D

> Even North Korea must know that internally.
You have a dumb-ass histrionic narcissistic "supreme leader" vs a impulsive narcissistic moron world leader.
North Korea is dumb enough to nuke the USA.
The USA is dumb enough to wipe North Korea off the face of the earth.
You do the math. Stupid people do stupid things.
Intelligent people will occasionally act stupid.
Stupid people act stupid all the time.
There is no hope for these two.
