They did invest in Alibaba as well as ARM and Uber and runs the SoftBank Vision Fund. They may have failed huge on this one but have been doing quite good.

I would consider VictoriaMetrics to be technically superior.

What do you mean by getting everything right by full-upgrade?

I understand the concern too.

It's also raised at their official forum but no reply from the author.

The author did take an interview in 2018.

The only reason I use other storage provider than backblaze is simply because of the benchmark done by one of the more modern backup tool author.

https://github.com/gilbertchen/cloud-storage-comparison/blob...

Can anyone from backblaze say anything about their performance compared to other vendors?

The pricing is certainly ahead of others, so I would use if the performance is comparable to some of the leading group tested there.

Yeah, I use IntelliJ, Chrome, Photoshop and a few other smaller apps and sometimes even run Win10 on Vmware but I never see any noticeable slowdowns. I do tend to quit apps that I don't use as I hate cluttering my alt-tab list.

Call me old, but these days everything including people are so ram hungry I cannot believe the days when things were being done with less than a GB ram.

People talk like having more ram feels like a champ but as developers you might as well want to think about how things can be achieved using less ram.

Who said about end users?

Many embedded systems and such use BSD because they don't have to release their changes as open source, which pretty much forbids their use of Linux.

If you meant by "servers" such on clouds, maybe it's already Linux only.

Why? Because you can end up with a single machine than having have to constantly worry about having same environment and data and all that between multiple machines.

If you plug in your laptop to an external monitor and a keyboard, you essentially get a desktop, except you can take it out there with you without worrying about leaving any data or config behind.

> I really worry about a world where all the servers run Linux.

As long as BSD stays with BSD license, it won't happen.

Why would devs type on the laptop keyboard for extended period of time?

If you work at a desk, you're supposed to add an external monitor and a keyboard.

Why do you even need that much? Seems a niche demand when 8GB should just do fine for most.

I've been developing on 8GB Mac for years with no problem. Doubt Linux needs more to do the same.

I work alone in Japan for my own company but boy people work too much I think. Some people reply to my message after midnight and that is someone who is employed and not someone running a company.

And some other people message me on Saturday morning and again, that is an employee but the good part is that for the people I know, they don't look unhappy or maybe they're just used to that work hours... I don't think I'll want to work like that if I'm an employee.

When I was an employee for the one year in my entire life, I asked for overtime (I was the only person getting it in a company of about a dozen people) and usually worked 9-10 hours for 5 days.

There's also Duplicacy which I feel is a bit more mature than restic (I felt it more performing and it also has a web interface but the lack of mount capability that restic has is what I miss and retention policy is quite easier to specify for restic too), though it's a paid software for non personal usage.

But paid is good that the author has less reason to move away from it. (As mentioned elsewhere, restic hasn't been updated in a while but they recently changed their pricing to be much more agressive which I hated. I wish they give it a softer pricing model than cost per machine.)

Their comparison of cloud storage providers gave me a good insight on what to choose in terms of performance.

https://github.com/gilbertchen/cloud-storage-comparison/

I use both restic and Duplicacy, so my backups are done by multiple implementations toward multiple destinations not to get bitten by one of their bugs to avoid the saying "backups aren't working when you need it the most".

I think similar. YAML is a pain to keep the right indentation. I wish they introduce another format while keeping YAML as legacy format.

It is reluctant to write a config when just sending a file to multiple servers.

Is there a specific reason google uses puppet or just historical?

Mind sharing a few examples of what's so better? Just curious.

> I don't have the hours and days to learn Ansible

Really? Are you that filled or you don't want to use a minute of your weekend?

I've set up a few ansible tasks for occasional use like updating servers but I think it's worth learning. It's especially good when installing a new server. Run and it's to your usual state in no time.

The good part about task runners is that it is self documenting of your repetitive tasks and easy to share. You could create a shell script with comments but ansible is probably more portable.

vim is no longer an editor for devs but for system admins. I haven't used it to edit codes for maybe 10 years now that there are better alternatives having been through from SublimeText to Atom to IntelliJ now. (Yeah, missed VS code time.)

Adobe is the only one who does this crap in macOS on my system. They put 3 folders in Applications and on top of that put some more in Utilities. I see like 7 icons just for 1 app (2 if you count the subscription manager app).

Their attitude being the monopoly is just annoying.

Thanks for the down votes.

While I understand that you might want to silence vocal minorities for business reasons, I've only stated facts from my past 20 years of life.

I feel better if I completely turn off WiFi or Bluetooth. I can see I'm exposed to plenty of other signals by living in a city but it doesn't mean they're nothing. It just removes the added damage being done and it makes quite a difference to quality of life which would be hard to imagine for you.

My ammature theory (5Ghz wifi feels worse than 2.4Ghz wifi) also says higher frequency for short range signals does more harm, thus it's more sensitive to turn those off than being exposed to other lower frequency used outside.

I haven't taken any blind tests but if the testing environment isn't causing me problems to begin with (chemically or EM), like at home where I control the environment, I can tell what's good and bad. That's how I decide what to keep and what to sell when I buy something.

That's interesting. I could try it but I have plenty of cases where I see clear causes that make me unnecessarily tired and this is going on with me for 2 decades now.

- Turn off wireless signals like Bluetooth (I keep WiFi with low emission setting which isn't as bad as BT but 5Ghz is worse than 2.4Ghz, so I only use 2.4Ghz frequency.)

- Many of recent phones. (Bought iPhone X, Pixel 3a and those I can't keep close to me no matter how I tweak their settings, so they're away from me kept in boxes but I still need them for testing for my work.)

- LED displays keep me uneasy. I use fluorescent ones.

- IC chips used for credit cards and passports. I keep them minimum in my wallet.

These are from what I've bought and sold just to find what might feel better for me. I wish I could just keep what I want.

(Also not EM but chemical substances, just to say I've been living with hypersensitivity.

- Keeping clothes on after coming back home from outside. So I quickly wash and take shower.

- Need to clean wall every few weeks before I feel kind of choked, maybe due to glue used for the wallpapers.

- Very small amount of mold. I have to clean my air conditioner from a professional service every season.)

I can keep going but those are some.

It just takes away my concentration and makes me look tired (which is almost the norm now) and my thinking gets clouded. Without controlling the environment to the point I remove any devices that cause me certain uncomfort, I can't have much time productively. This also goes for chemical matters, as if I don't clean the floor, wall and clothes often, same happens.

I think northern Europe has recognized EM hypersensitivity as a symptom but last time I checked, it's not widely recognized worldwide.

I can completely say this is not mental. Like, say I get a new phone which I wanted to buy and then if it damages me, I regretfully have to sell it. Also I can feel better by turning off Bluetooth, so there are clear physical causes for me.

I see your point but I have a hyper sensitivity to EMF (among other things) and I turn off any wireless technology wherever I can (like Bluetooth, when I don't have any paring devices at home) and many devices aren't comfortable for me to keep, despite me working in an IT industry.

The symptom isn't classified as a disease at where I live, so it's hard to get any decent medial treatments and I'm afraid 5G might harm me even harder when higher frequency typically makes me feel worse without a way to get away from it.

And slowing down the entire design space because of closed PSD format driving out competitions and Photoshop is so slow compared to apps like Affinity Photo as its legacy code must be in the way to employ any radical improvements.

Someone needs to take over this space.

Japan is on declining population and when it chokes enough to bring people from all over the world, things might change.

I don't like election cars with loud speakers but that's like twice a year? and clerks telling you welcome and you have problem living in Japan?

You need to choose your place not to pick a cheap rent with paper thin walls...

I'm in Tokyo but you sound like it's clean only because others clean up after people litter freely but that is absolutely not the case here...

People don't throw when it's clean, like how the NY subway changed.

I've never seen people pull down mask to cough in the middle of others.

You sound like running a negative campaign.

Burn money brute forcing. How else would "non intelligent" organization accomplish?
