It sounds like they're doing something similar to Seagate's Field Access Reliability Metrics (FARM) log where IIRC it's much harder to reset or forge their wear-leveling/usage stat…

Just curious, any reason you're using TMarkor instead of Markor? ( https://github.com/gsantner/markor/ , https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.gsantner.m... ) Only aski…

Can also vouch for this. Bought a 2nd gen AMD Thinkpad T14 ~last year and haven't had any issues at all running Debian testing (bookworm). Swapped the m.2 with a 4TB one and added …

One of my quick-and-dirty gotos for getting a rough idea of buffered-writes size + disk-write activity on random linux systems is: `watch -n1 grep -ie dirty -e writeback /proc/memi…

I think anyone who suggests daily driving Debian testing should also mention the fact that packages can disappear from testing for weeks/months at a time (and reappear later). It's…

If you're asking about specific examples, this book covers a lot of common patterns I've seen over the years; maybe a good starting point: https://martinfowler.com/books/refactorin…

> This eventually succeeded, giving the threat actor access to one of our GitHub organizations where they proceeded to copy 130 of our code repositories. When I was at dropbox I sa…

The Kurose/Ross textbook is also a favourite of mine. Consider checking out https://book.systemsapproach.org/index.html as a free alternative as well. The authors develop the book,…

Sure, but there are also strategies to buffer yourself from that. Barring the first year where you have to wait/make it up to the 12-month mark to get the full 25% of your equity p…

One thing I've noticed is that the people making these counter-arguments seem to completely ignore (or don't know about) the ridiculous amounts of equity that $big_tech_co's are ha…

Your post reminded me of the presentation on cantor.dust: https://sites.google.com/site/xxcantorxdustxx/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bM3Gut1hIk - Christopher Domas The future …

Seems like I struck a nerve here... I didn't realize I'm not allowed to use HN to start discussions with other readers about topics they bring up :) I like to post about these kind…

That's a really good point. I've also done what you mentioned in your first paragraph but stopped digging deeper once I hit the "now I have to understand physics to actually unders…

I feel like I'm on one extreme of this spectrum which is: I 'need' to develop a deep understanding of systems from the bottom-up and only then can I feel comfortable building on to…

I really like that persistent link-background highlight effect when you click a link.

Somewhat related; I've always been very curious why a lot of developers I've worked with seem to think testing isn't worth the effort, and I've been keeping a mental checklist of a…

I had to investigate why our docker-ized dev environment was so slow on macOS at my last job and this was the root cause. One project's test suite ran in about 5-10 mins in our lin…

Curious, does one need to use nixOS for an optimal experience? I've been using debian for a long time and would prefer not to have to switch OSs but the idea of using nix for havin…

Sounds to me like you're focusing on the wrong things or don't have the right resources for the task at hand. (that is, I don't think I've ever had to brush up on a proof for any a…

This has been my take on it as well. Sure it sucks having to jump through these hoops and sometimes even being evaluated by people you know don't understand the topic as well as yo…

These types of questions basically boil down very cookie cutter patterns that generally bucket into graph traversal/search, being comfortable with coding/manipulating linked data s…

It's interesting, when I tell people they need to be prepared for this bar I get a surprising number of people who just don't seem to want to accept that it's true or flat out clai…

Hell, I'm Canadian and I also bucket into the India group since I was born there. Doesn't seem to matter that I was less than a year old when my parents immigrated to Canada either…

These two commands should fit most of your use cases: tar cf dir.tar dir # mnemonic: 'create file' tar xf dir.tar(.gz|bz2|...) # mnemonic: 'eXtract file' On systems with "modern" v…
