I am using both. I've lost data on both, and near misses that required hair-raising metadata rebuild.

BTRFS documentation still greatly trail behind ZFS, imo. It's RAID1 implementation is subpar in terms of monitoring.

I am talking about the western society. In the 80s and 90s, you don't really see movies about an entire generation of teenagers being oppressed. The main characters are likely to be teenagers but most adventure stories have teenage main characters.

In the 2000s, you started seeing popular sci-fi books (then movies in 2010s) like The Hunger Games and Maze Runner that depict teenagers as the opposed class.

Personally I think the 2000 Japanese classic Battle Royale started it all.

I think there's a difference between "the main cast are teenagers", vs "the entire opposed class are teenagers."

>To Japanese millennials and zillenials, wartime defeat and economic triumph are both ancient history. Their futures are far less bright, marked by threats of recession, political gridlock, and a hyper-aging society, not to mention the traumas of the covid era. They’re living through another apocalypse, of the socioeconomic variety. Is it any wonder that their animated dreams are more down to earth?

Forget about anime, look at the YA movies in the last decade. Gone are the traditional awe-inspiring scifi, in are the post-apocalyptical dystopia where teenagers are being oppressed by old people and the teenagers have to overturn the old ruling class.

This has been solved in the last year or so. Look up "LLM chain of thought".

I am sad that Discord has replaced IRC as the chatroom of the internet's subculture.

Not the ones in NYC. I am telling you they hurt a lot more than ones say the Yamamoto Line's. I know people who got deep bruises from them.

As a user I don't care if a line is 2 track, 3 tracks, or quad tracks. What I care is reliability and convinence (and price too but my company is paying for it so blah).

If you live in the Bronx, there's a good chance you won't be going home at 1AM by trains, even if the crazies don't get to you first.

Transit is unprofitable only in North America. Everywhere else public transit makes money.

I know about the duo-operators in MTA. Before I came to NYC I didn't understand it either.

After I moved here and saw how violent and hostile people are towards the train, I actually came around on the duo-operations. If MTA doesn't do that it's likely many many people will be crushed by the doors, and you'd get a lot of broken trains.

I never saw as many riders actively breaking the train doors in eg. Japan/HK/DC/Seattle/SF subway.

I live in NYC and am well aware of the so-called 24/7 service. The fact is that it's 24/7 only in midtown Manhattan. If you are on the 1/2/3 or ACE or 4/5/6 lines it's likely you'd get 'For the next 3 weekends services from some outer borough station to 178th street will be suspended from 10PM to 8 AM. Please use the connection bus from blah to blah."

Even the Q line, that is less than 10 years old, went though the same hassle in Feb, and that's squarely in midtown.

The 24/7 claim is exaggerated. Just ask the 7 line folks at the Hudson Yard's end what they think of the claim.

Also, during the weekend I find taking the bus to usually be faster than taking the subway. Literally buses creeping across New York is faster trains.

So you are arguing that residential densification and a increase in housing supply will lead to

1. Rent increase

2. Consumption price increase

3. Big real estate will use thugs and trickery to force people to sell

4. More people in the community leads to less friends

The population would only reduce if the parents die immediately after the kid is born. Until the parents die, the population would still grow.

Thank about what the Fertility rate means.

>the TFR is based on the age-specific fertility rates of women in their "child-bearing years", which in conventional international statistical usage is ages 15–44.

>The TFR is, therefore, a measure of the fertility of an imaginary woman who passes through her reproductive life subject to all the age-specific fertility rates for ages 15–49 that were recorded for a given population in a given year. The TFR represents the average number of children a woman would potentially have, were she to fast-forward through all her childbearing years in a single year, under all the age-specific fertility rates for that year. In other words, this rate is the number of children a woman would have if she was subject to prevailing fertility rates at all ages from a single given year and survives throughout all her childbearing years.

>So in some sense the huge influx of these new residents (typically with high-paying tech jobs) are pushing out the parents and grandparents

No one is forcing grandpa to sell his house by rezoning the land (the property tax won't go up due to pro 13). If your argument is that the house will appreciate in value and that grandpa is "forced" to sell his house because he likes money, well I have no argument.

>It’s not aliens. It’ll probably never be aliens. So stop. Please just stop

Yes, but what if it's really aliens?

(cue Not Saying It's Alien But It's Alien meme)

I assume you are surviving off charity organizations. What in your opinion would improve the effectiveness of these organizations? More gov fundings? Better oversight? More training or planning?

>It seems improbable that a second micrometeorite would have struck as second Russian spacecraft in less than two months.

Why? If you have one debris at a certain attitude, chances are you have other debris at the same altitude?

RIM was a hardware company, not a software company. Hence a phone is a phone, and should not be a camera (1 of the CEOs said it?)

The BBOS was not designed to be a responsive, touch-screen OS. It had its root in pagers (hence the jankiness). Thru the grapevines what I heard was that the OS team said 'we can duplicate iOS' functionality with the old OS in this amount of time.' and the higher ups rolled with it.

By the time Storm 2 was released, everyone realized that you can only put lip balm on a pig for so long. Hence QNX, the 'pathfinder' Playbook, and Flash as GUI API (gawd that was a rollercoaster experience. I thought it was a deathmarch and didn't think we'd actually manage to ship it.)

I don't have any specific insight into the Wifi stack but most BBs up to that point have in-house designed cellular modems.

As for talent wise, shrug. You can't blame people for preferring Cupertino over Waterloo-Kitchener. Although I would say that over 1/5 of the employees at RIM's campus were co-op students.

I also never saw anyone do significant overtime.

>Why? (Genuine question).

Because I was there to witness the disintegration of a company and the losses it created? Instead of layoffs, you have entire departments/factory shuttering.

When Nortel shut down, many engineers interviewed for BB (same province). I still remember how they looked when we told them we won't proceed with the hiring.

Yes by 'Bold' I mean Onyx.

As you said, the Storm was developed in a year so some corners (especially the OS side) were cut. The Onyx was 'properly' engineered so (internally) everything was better and easier to deal with.

Yeah you are right. It's the Storm with the clicky screen.

Fun trivia- Most of the BB employees in my department switched from Storm to Bold when the Bold was released. As a result I had a pile of Storm in my drawer as my test devices.

I hope Google is not pulling a Blackberry moment. I remember when the iPhone was first announced, BB scrambled to put out press releases saying they have competing products in development. 2 years later the Bold(EDIT: Storm) was released and everyone realized it's just a hastily designed iPhone clone. That marks the end of BB's dominance.

>Used to work for BB/RIM

If people want absolute control over the land in their town, they can buy the land and put a fence around it.

There is literally a post on front page on ChatGPT, and Microsoft and Google are preparing to duke it out starting in the _next 2 days_ over big-data generated 'chat' result.

Big data was never going to be useful to even medium size enterprises, unless anyone can get public access to PBs of data, but that doesn't mean big data is dead. ChatGPT is literally changing how school will test their students, for a start.

Maybe what the author is trying to say is 'small-scale big data is dead, but big data chugs on.'

I've used everything from expensive dedicated servers, cheap dedicated servers (Atom, Pentium 4), to all levels of VPS, cloud VPS, and now I finally settle on hosting everything in my parent's home.

With gigabit symmetric fiber connection (that I paid for) I don't see why I need to host stuff on other people's infrastructure. I can control backup in person.

I don't need to worry about the hoster upgrade a SAS controller and boink the RAID-ed hard drive, or complaints about copyright materials etc, or the hoster snooping on the servers for sensitive data, or that the hoster suddenly go out of business and take all my data with it, or that I reach the monthly 1000TB limit.

My parents even get to use gigabit connection for free so it's a win-win.

>Because the 400k car costs 10% more to make

I grew up in a Toyota household, and before the Hyundai I drove a Toyota. The prices for the 2 cars are the same (in fact the Toyota was a bit cheaper after inflation), but the Hyundai had more modern features.

The part/design quality for Toyota and Hyundai were especially apparent because of my experience. I still like the Hyundai though- it never had any major malfunction so Hyundai had put effort into its drive train.

I had a Hyundai car for over 10 years. It's a good car but my impression of it is that Hyundai knows exactly where to cut cost and substitutes just-good-enough parts. The car had many features over its competitors, but under the hood it's easy to see that the engineering focused on cost (reduction) over longevity. Why should a part last 400k when 200k is sufficient?

So I am not surprised to see a new car made in the 2010s can still be sold without a mobilizer.

Transparent hugepage doesn't work well with VMWare Workstation. Everytime I install Workstation on a Linux machine, I would have to disable hugepage after khugepaged 100% of a CPU core and drag the VM into a molasses-like state.

I believe the consensus is that Workstation makes lots of memory allocation and fragment the memory, causing the defragment-er to kick in.

Vmware says won't fix lol.

Cant the driver-less car, when it sees a fire truck, automatically stop the car at a safe location? Then if the fire truck did not move after 3 minutes, re-route to get away from the fire truck?

HP "The Witch" Carly Fiorina is still the leader I'd say.
