Yeah, the only place I use SLOG is with Optane devices in front of SATA/SAS flash. Anything that needs the speed of SLOG shouldn't be on rust anyways. I would be in a different wor…

I schedule scrubs during idle time (10pm Friday - 6am Monday), so the metadata hit doesn't affect usage, but YMMV if you don't have an idle time. I also don't generally let them ge…

Every 100+ TB ZFS pool I have is optimized for streaming reads/writes. IOPS are rarely a binding factor at these sizes.

In this case, Fanatic is the long-form version of the word "fan" used in the expression "sports fan". > Fanatics, Inc. is an American sports platform that consists of several busin…

I thought this, but random updates and changes for my apps in dev mode got too annoying; switching to full root has made my apps stable and turned off the prompts to upgrade the OS…

Do they even expose much cross users? One of my sports apps has a Family Plan, and my "family" is three other players who organized ourselves on FB. We split the cost evenly and it…

That's because Fanatics took over the jersey manufacture and cut the quality. Fanatics sucks in all sort of dimensions.

Indeed. The worst case scenario with no action is a ~30% cut in benefits; that's a long way from a 100% benefit cut.

Sure, if nothing is done. The trust fund redeeming its bonds is little different than the congress appropriating money for Social Security benefits; both come out of the current re…

My rule of thumb is that every not-heavy product has about $7 of shipping costs baked in somewhere. For cheap items, there isn't enough markup to cover those costs, so they are usu…

I jailbroke my TV to put the sunshine client directly on it, and it works great.

Generally yes, if you want to use a Customer Relationship Management system like Salesforce. Customer names, contact information, and info about what they bought from you is table …

Yep. Nor does it prevent states from passing laws putting individual liability on guards who so flagrantly violate inmate rights. It's just not something that the Feds can do.

FS has a reprogrammer, called the FS Box. Works well.

> $10000+ for a ticket that originally costs around 2k should be illegal. Most of these tickets will go unsold I'm sure. I'm not so sure. See this article in the Washington Post wh…

Alma and Rocky if you want fully free or have a lot of machines. RHEL if you are okay with registering with them; they give ten machines free access to their updates for each Regis…

I know this is a common argument, but I would love to see some hard data about expenditures on administrative staff in Universities. Every time I look for this, I find that the exp…

One-time taxes are dumb. The organizers of this tax should have the confidence of their arguments to make them permanent, or they shouldn't do it at all.

> And legally, the comapny's sole responsibility is "make money for shareholders". "the philosophy of putting shareholder profits over all else is a matter of ideology which is not…

GLP-1s are the gateway drug to this whole world. It's not hard to rationalize that they are safe, and approved, but too expensive. If your insurance stops paying, or will never aut…

Probably just the iPad, unless you are not at all price sensitive. $350 ($299 refurbished) vs $600 is a big uplift; you can almost buy two iPads for the price of an iPad Air. For j…

> Just pointing out that nonprofits do not have to balance revenues and expenditures at all. This is not a mere technical detail. Profit cannot inure to owners with nonprofits as i…

I wouldn't think so. Hospitals do some teaching and research, but they also administer huge amounts of prescription drugs, physician salaries (both teaching and non-teaching), dura…
