Oh wow I thought you were joking, but they’re literally 3 generations behind. I was recently complaining about the slow adoption of Wi-Fi 6E in phones, but now I know that true despair looks like.
That's like saing journale'd filesystem are dead-end design, you don't make any sense.
No sure if you don't know it, but Netflix uses UFS2 and FreeBSD as storage on their CDN[1], on the other hand, for the easy and unreliable stuff aka containers Linux is acceptable, just restart it. ;)
>>Journaling Versus Soft Updates: Asynchronous Meta-data Protection in File Systems
>>10 Conclusions
>>Soft Updates exhibits some side-effects that improve performance, in some cases significantly. Its ability to delay deletes is evidenced most clearly in the microbenchmark results. For the massive data set of the Netnews benchmark, we see that Soft Updates' ordering constraints prevent it from achieving performance comparable to the asynchronous journaling systems, while for the small Postmark dataset, Soft Updates backgrounding of deletes provides superior performance. The race between increasing memory sizes and increasing data sets will determine which of these effects is most significant.
It's not that it isn't a fantastic design—I believe as much as the next person that UFS2 is basically best-in-class as a "traditional" dumb filesystem, and that soft updates is fundamentally a Right Approach. I wouldn't have mentioned it if I didn't!
But it's hard not to see that it's darn near barren ground for further work in filesystem design. And it's easy to see why if you scan the first paper—just look at the dependency flowcharts! Fundamentally the design is ... hard for mere mortals to work on. It's practically a miracle that it even happened once; nobody is keen on starting any new implementations.
I choose to fault filesystem implementers for not being (more) superhuman for this failing, obviously.
I’m not sure where the legend about softupdates being more complicated then journaling came from, but even comparing number of lines of code between SU and XFS journaling is enough to disprove it.
The open-source IllumOS code in FreeBSD had fallen behind Linux ZoL (ZFS-On-Linux). FreeBSD adopted ZoL to keep up with new bugfixes, enhancements, etc.
>>The OpenZFS project brings together developers from the Linux, FreeBSD, illumos, MacOS, and Windows platforms. OpenZFS is supported by a wide range of companies.
It’s a band-aid. Just let Google slowly die, it’s already time when you should pull the plug – the patient is brain-dead for several years and there is no hope.
Use DuckDuckGo it’s a lot better with relevant search results and privacy friendly.
At least for humans. It's fairly easy to write a script with current technology even for an average "hacker" to solve them. But on the other hand it's extremely hard, nearly impossible for a person with special needs to complete them. Even for average person solving some of CAPTCHAs is a hassle.
Most of the popular CAPTCHAs services are "robot-friendly" and providers don't care who solves them, they just need data, they don't need to prove you're human.
CAPTCHAs being american-centric, ableist, etc are all valid criticisms here, but I think people in tech fail to understand the value of them.
Being "robot-friendly" still doesn't mean it's a walk in the park, and it's a hurdle that spammers will have to account for. If your site is a low value target or the spamming in general is low-value, it's often effective. Running any sort of small time open to the internet blog or forum will make the value of CAPTCHAs abundantly clear. The issue here is being inclusive to people, not making them "work" against robots.
In those situations, captchas don't offer any improvement over a text field that always asks you to put a 3 in it. It's just different enough from other systems that it requires custom programming, and that's just not worth it for most small websites.
There are user friendly and secure CAPTCHAs out there if implemented correctly.
A particular gaming forum uses game covers and asks users to select the correct title. This is quick enough to decipher for a human, while any OCR bots would have a difficult time with it. They could build a database of all covers, but it would be difficult to keep it up to date, and site owners could simply add more variation, so I doubt any bot authors bother to do so.
I normally would not reply to someone who equates my blog posts with the ravings of a megalomaniacal fachist, but I will at least clarify for the benefit of onlookers that all three of these points are false. I handle account deletion and GDPR requests all the time, and every email you get from sr.ht (1) is not a marketing email and (2) can be trivially unsubsribed from, with the exception of payment notifications - which is not only allowed per the GPDR, but a lot better than silently charging you a recurring payment forever.
Trump is not a fascist. He's not far-right. Mere nationalist tendencies do not make one a fascist.
From wikipedia:-
"Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries. Opposed to liberalism, Marxism, and anarchism, fascism is placed on the far right within the traditional left–right spectrum."
Refusing to concede a fair election, using gerrymandering and electoral fraud to keep a conservative minority party in power, obstructing the political process, packing the courts as a political weapon, not to mention open racism, a cult of personality, fervent nationalism, and tacit endorsement of political violence? If you compare the rise of European facism to contemporary trends in US politics then the parallels are pretty stark.
If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck... it is, at the least, a precursor to fascism. It doesn't happen all at once, and if we wait until it's plainly obvious to call it like it is, then it'll probably be too late. And even if you don't want to call it facist, it's out of line to compare this shit to my personal blog. That's a baseless character attack, which is a dick move, not to mention against the HN guidelines.
I don’t know about you, but I find Tiffany Blue to be about 70% of the way to pretty. It’s too fluorescent for my eyes, and it bothered me the last time I was in one of their stores.
