Always_Anon··on U.S. students' math scores plunge in global education assessment
No they don't. What issue do you have with that line? English is my second language.
Always_Anon··on U.S. students' math scores plunge in global education assessment
The US did not import the third world like Germany and France did. Hypothesis not refuted.
Always_Anon··on U.S. students' math scores plunge in global education assessment
I wonder how much of the drop in scores had to due with the West's wholesale importation of barely literate third worlders for years. Countries like Japan, Korea, Latvia, and Hong Kong that do not import anyone saw rises in their scores.
Always_Anon··on Henry Kissinger Has Died
That was fake news, like the hospital bombing.
Always_Anon··on How China is tearing down Islam – FT
>overtly Islamophobic comment

Being against those who support anti-woman and anti-LGBTQ+ views isn't Islamophobic. It's common fucking sense.

Always_Anon··on Henry Kissinger Has Died
>Israel is blatantly violating international laws

Bombing military targets is allowed. Hospitals, mosques, etc. lose their protected status if they are being used for military operations, which they are.

Always_Anon··on Rolling Stone's negative obituary for Henry Kissinger
That's why it's gas lighting and narrative shaping.

Yet they would never refer to Darrell E. Brooks Jr. as "Black supremacist terrorist Darrell E. Brooks Jr."

Always_Anon··on Rolling Stone's negative obituary for Henry Kissinger
Timothy McVeigh was an anti-government domestic terrorist that bombed the FBI building in retaliation for the US Government's actions both domestic and abroad. No doubt he was a racist, but he didn't commit his crimes in the name of White supremacy. He gained much of his anti-US sentiment abroad when he was deployed in Iraq and became disillusioned.

TFA's first ten sentences are narrative shaping garbage that are clearly trying to gaslight anyone who reads it into believing that he acted in the name of White supremacy. Why would the author try to do that?

Always_Anon··on Henry Kissinger Has Died
>While I agree to an extent, this begs an obvious question: How far do we take this line of thinking?

It be cool if military and geopolitical leaders got together to define some of these things. They could get together and have a convention of sorts, maybe in a central, neutral place, like Geneva.

>Is an attack like 9/11 justified since even the twin towers were used by the US government indirectly, owing to nearly everyone within paying taxes that supported US wars and expeditionary-ism?

Were there uniformed military personnel operating out of the Twin Towers? Of course there weren't, so it's not even close to being comparable.

Always_Anon··on ZFS 2.2.1: Block Cloning disabled due to data corruption
>FreeBSD's VFS in theoretically able to support reflinks across datasets while Linux's VFS disallows that.

I don't believe so, you're still not able to hardlink across file systems in BSD.

>It is not really behind.

It is behind: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/405

Always_Anon··on ZFS 2.2.1: Block Cloning disabled due to data corruption
No it wasn't: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/405

This hit Linux first, which is why Linux experienced the issue. FreeBSD does not currently have reflink cp.

Always_Anon··on My Free Speech Means You Have to Shut Up
1930s Europe:

"you can’t be racist against Jewish people. the definition of racism centers on power not the tone of dermis. read some different books (Mein Kampf, The International Jew) and open up that independent thinking some."

Pat yourself on the back I guess. Your blind hatred of White people has caused you to use literal Nazi rhetoric.

Always_Anon··on My Free Speech Means You Have to Shut Up
It absolutely does.
Always_Anon··on ZFS 2.2.1: Block Cloning disabled due to data corruption
>This is often regarded as a good thing in the BSD world. In all fairness, this bug just enforces that notion.

Same in Linux, which is why you'd choose a distro that's less bleeding edge.

>And Solaris (at least on amd64) wasn't slow.

No, it was slow. There's a reason why everyone in HPC/HFT/etc. moved off Solaris to Linux in the 2000s. Linux was regularly beating Slowlaris in practically every category at the end.

Always_Anon··on Tesla Cybertruck payload capacity 29% less than promised
>Doesn't need lockers or solid axles?

No, EVs do not require those for the same reason they do not require gas tanks.

>Needs a few software updates to mimic the features of those components.

You have it backwards: ICE trucks will never be able to mimic the instant torque and torque vectoring that EV motors provide. Rivian is a good example of this:

>This video is embarrassing: https://twitter.com/ferio_252/status/1723139057314873543

That's not a Ford F-150 Lightning. The Rivian stock will outperform almost practically every other stock vehicle as shown above.

Always_Anon··on Tesla Cybertruck payload capacity 29% less than promised
F-150 Lightning:

>Body on frame?

Check

>Solid axles?

Not required for EVs.

>Lockers?

Not required for EVs.

Final score: It's a truck.

Always_Anon··on VMware is now part of Broadcom
>Massive IO performance over KVM due to the emulated NVME driver.

That is incorrect. It's faster than KVM's virtio, not faster than KVM's NVMe. They didn't bother to test KVM's NVMe virtualization[0]. To quote your source: "As it turns out, bhyve/NVMe isn’t just faster than bhyve/VirtIO—it’s faster than KVM/VirtIO as well" They're comparing apples to oranges. Why would they do that?

"Meet the Author: Jim Salter"

Oh, that's why.

>Bhyve may be juvenile compared to KVM but it seems to have a better design

Likely not, debatable.

>better license.

Debatable, but I get it.

>also bhyve runs on SmartOS too, and I think Bryan is going to be more comfortable with a Solaris OS under the hood

Most definitely why. KVM uses a lot of Linux kernel specific interfaces and functions. Bhyve is easier to port due to this.

Always_Anon··on ZFS 2.2.1: Block Cloning disabled due to data corruption
Because FreeBSD is behind Linux in copying with reflinks. They couldn't even reproduce the issue if they wanted to.
Always_Anon··on ZFS 2.2.1: Block Cloning disabled due to data corruption
>How the heck did this ever make it through?

Because it was introduced by a FreeBSD developer, and FreeBSD's fs and cp are a generation behind Linux's so they weren't even able to hit this.

>I don't think this ever would have happened pre-OpenZFS, and undermines the stable reputation of ZFS.

Of course it happened pre-OpenZFS: https://blog.lastinfirstout.net/2010/04/bit-by-bug-data-loss...

From the people that brought you Slowlaris.

>OpenZFS needs to do better and look to FreeBSD developers, not Linux developers, as role models.

This was introduced by a FreeBSD developer and was caught by a Linux one. You need to rethink your role models.

Always_Anon··on Americans need a six-figure salary to afford a new home in most cities
>Those may be expensive houses in the first image, but I guarantee cost per square foot is an order of magnitude cheaper.

I guarantee they're not. Portland average house price is $500k [0]. Your example of Katy, TX is $365k [1]. Not even close to an order of magnitude.

>If waves of folks want the first image, more power to them. I'm not gonna stop them. But I also don't want to pay for it.

If waves of folks want this image [2], more power to them. I'm not gonna stop them. But I also don't want to pay for it.

Always_Anon··on I deeply regret my participation in the board's actions
I wish more of them did that. She gave them the excuse they were looking for. She thought she was being smart, instead she self-owned herself in the most spectacular fashion.
Always_Anon··on Did Reddit just denylist all IPs?
>NIST in the US

In the wake of the "Summer of Love", some ideologues at NIST decided to jump on the band wagon and created an internal memo about "inclusive language". They ironically did not define the new terms, did not include them in their definition documentation, and was for internal use only as a guide, not requirements.

>but go ahead and persist in your ideologically-based denial that it is, in fact, a word in use.

but go ahead and persist in your ideologically-based denial that it is, in fact, not a word.

>(as shown by the firing of Timnit Gebru...)

Timnit Gebru was fired for being a toxic /r/ImTheMainCharacter SJW that was enshittifiy the entire AI/ML department. Management correctly fired someone that was holding an entire department hostage in her crusade against the grievance de jure.

Always_Anon··on Curl on 100 Operating Systems
Ah, didn't know that. It was absent in one of the more recent versions. Sounds like they added it.

Yes they will, because translation dictionaries with "blacklist" predate the advent of digital computers. QED.
