These make me chuckle. Those people have never done home improvement projects or just projects that require picking up 8ft sheets of plywood or 20 bags of mulch.

Ah makes way more sense.

> Marriage is also the leading cause of divorce

Did you mean to say children instead of Marriage? You can't have divorce without marriage.

[x] doubt

Putting the internet in the hands of the Government wouldn't fair much better.

There are laws in almost ALL states that say you can not have a fire close to a structure. Here in Texas, it's 100 yards from any structure. A fence counts as a structure.

You don't need a mechanical robot for that. Just need a device masquerading as a keyboard just sending that stuff in.

I loved Dash when using a mac. But I've been full time in linux for the last 6 years and Zeal is the only thing _close_.

> Marriage is a complex and binding contract that for two high earners is a tax disadvantage.

You can file separately.

Now that Colorado has removed state preemption laws, what is stopping ISPs from lobbying and preempting state level laws at the local level across the whole state.

Wrong. SQLite can handle concurrent writes using a WAL. You do not have to wait any amount of time between writes. Once the write is done, it is done.

Just click more buttons.

I love mine. Dead simple display.

I don't think I could do this for a full 24 hours, but I do try to take time everyday to disconnect and sit down and write or doodle on paper. Usually it's just throw away stuff but it is relaxing to me.

Yes, my bad Olympic.

> Titanic could hit almost 30.

The better comparison would be the Olympia since she lived longer and did that trip far more times and was successful.

Financial independence.

I'm not mixing them. Both are good to have foundations for why things are the way they are. Completely bypassing them is asinine. There's a reason in computer science a computer organization class is still teaches about assembly instructions going through pipelines.

Just give it a try for 1 month and re-evaluate. It's stable and reliable.

> ... setting out to learn C++ in 2023 is a major career limiting factor.

No it is not.

> Let's be clear, learning C++ in 2023 is like migration to Russia/China/Cuba

No it is not.

> you give away all your reasonable freedoms & funs to submit yourself to the mercy of a close group of "elites" who try so damn hard to dictate your life & work.

No you do not. It is not a slavery operation.

Learning C/C++ now is a good foundation as to why things like Rust and Zig are popular. Understanding the underlying mechanics is good. To say it's a major career limiting factor is hyperbole at best.

Why not just switch now?

Because `tar -czvf` is muscle memory at this point for many.

Case IH is one that I have seen starting to become more popular and farmers selling their JDs and replacing them with Case tractors. Case has good service and you can purchase most mechanical parts to replace existing broken parts without having to go through a service technician if you don't want to.

No there are some PRAGMA calls that people typically don't set or bother to adjust from the defaults that really improve performance. Some are setting the `journal_mode`, `cache_spill`, and `cache_size`.

The simplicity is a blessing and curse. I enjoy writing C and sticking to a hard discipline of writing unit tests for all functions where possible. Abusing `assert/1` in debug mode. But concurrency is a hard thing to build. Identifying critical sections, making sure they have mutex locks where necessary. I want to love Rust but it's hard for me to get used to the syntax. I've started using it and failed multiple times because it's terse. Inevitably I will try again and hope it pans out.

There is a way to monitor it, but you'd need to put in T-Junctions and add a pressure sensor on the high and low pressure sides. You'd then need to rig up some system to read those pressures. But _you_ would be unfortunately the one that has to do it because I don't think there are any off the shelf solutions.

Short haul trucks are going to be relatively easy to target for electric. That last mile from a distribution center or local delivery is going to be a quick one to solve.

Go figure when the government owns the reactor and hires technicians to maintain them, they can be built "quickly".

In an earlier post here

> The truly unique feature of US nuclear power is the unlimited power that was given to federal regulators.

> [...] Congress had effectively told the regulator make the rules up as you go. This meant the regulator had no problem changing the rules. A design that was legal at the start of construction, could be declared illegal any time thereafter.

The solution may be that the federal government owns the plant and contracts out the work. Ultimately, the government would have to answer to itself about regulation changes.

I run my two LSI cards in HBA mode. The initial minor annoyance that I had was having to flash the cards in. Which coincidentally was also my first time ever doing something like that.

Do you have any experience with hardware RAID provided by motherboard manufacturers like Asus? I have a spare dual xeon system I may utilize for my next NAS build and I'll pair it with two more RAID cards that can be put in HBA.

I'm running RAID6 for data and RAID1 for metadata. Wanted the metadata replicated. So far I've had no HW failure situations and I have suffered a few power outages while I was away from home even though I have a backup battery.

Although these drives have surpassed 50,000 hours of running time, I am fairly certain the day of reckoning is coming, but I have backups and a plan to recover.

I may recover to something not BTRFS. Not sure just yet.

No, and I haven't lost data with BTRFS in RAID6 either.
