They need a Tesla taxi near where I live. I need a ride in one!

Someone should take laser precision measurements in case we need to 3D print another David. Can you 3D print marble?

You're welcome.

So you're saying the DRY Principle is not worth harping on?

Politeness + Insight + Empathy. It's easy as PIE!

I always thought Docker leaned more towards "process as a platform".

The law needs a refactoring of its technical debt. But who can do the work to get that done?

So do photographs and screenshots. :)

Looks like something worth forwarding to the non-technical guy as "food for thought".

This made the rounds on Facebook. It does a good job of covering why bigger is not necessarily prettier.

I didn't say "increase disk utilization with Swift", I said ZFS does not use the whole disk when you add a new large disk unless you replace the entire vdev worth of disks. Swift treats each disk individually and uses weighting to deal with heterogeneous disk sizes which is much cleaner.

Did you not read the other guys link above? http://jrs-s.net/2015/02/06/zfs-you-should-use-mirror-vdevs-...

It says "Fault tolerance / degraded performance

Be careful here. Keep in mind that if any single vdev fails, the entire pool fails with it. There is no fault tolerance at the pool level, only at the individual vdev level!"

Especially with the long resilver times necessary to achieve a good ROI from the investment.

That is a lot of work compared to just adding a disk and rebalancing. No need to replace every disk in a vdev just to increase disk utilization to the entire disk when using Swift. No fear of losing a pool when losing a vdev.

50% storage efficiency and 87.5% survival is not an option for us. We store medical images by the petabyte and drives fail much too fast at scale.

I'd take pip over npm any day of the week. My experiences with Node have been horrible. Npm just grows okay but do not try to uninstall.

ZFS forces you to choose a drive size a priori and live with it for the life of the system. Thanks but no thanks. I'll stick with OpenStack Swift where I can leverage new larger disks and have my uncoupled highly available storage to boot.

An electronic lock will not be on my home anytime soon. Mechanical inventions have nice properties like locality (no remote unlock), history (they've been through the war), and physics (bank vault vs bathroom lock).

Wow, it's scary to think that someone could know that about someone else simply from checking out their Instagram feed.

I think Allah has the right of it. I love Fig Newtons and figs!

Even though I have a Master's of Science in Computer Science, I also spent a few years of my youth (more than they suggest in this article) working as a groundskeeping for several apartment buildings across town. Mowing, weeding, edging, planting, etc.

On the flip side, my father had a PhD in Physics and taught at the local university. I believe I probably did better than most when it came to genes and funding, but I graduated high school with people who got up and milked the cows before coming into school and I know their lifestyle as well as my own.

I think this article itself is out-of-touch.

Our local Wisconsin university, UW-EC, received an entire computer lab full of SGI workstations in the 90's when SGI was big. I even had a friend who worked at SGI in Chippewa Falls, WI. I recall lots of folks fleeing to Cray (same city) over the years. It's sad to see SGI falling apart like this, but hopefully HP is a good home.

" ... and future research will explore what affects sleep quality once asleep ..." :)

I think traffic lights are ripe for disruption.

So ... does this mean we are going to see yogurt with "B. Infantis"? Or is this a infant-only symbiotic strain? Curious.

So, entanglement could be said to be chaotic. Sounds more plausible than most attempts to bind these models together more succinctly.

I love the name. :) Fits right in with "flask" (http://flask.pocoo.org) and "bottle" (http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/index.html).

Build something the world has never seen and carve your own path. Nothing builds confidence like productivity and it helps you learn new things to boot!

Long live CmdrTaco. Avid slashdot reader since '98.

I concur. This is old news.
