  • their snapshots are marked as copy on write, so my assumption is that for every write, there is replication somewhere.

    I might be wrong here, but my understanding is that their snapshots are the kind we find in modern filesystems (ZFS/BTRFS/…) : that is a point-in-time kind of functionnality, where a file will be duplicated (and the original version then will only belong to the snapshot) only when it is written to. This is just the way snapshots are implemented here - and a rather common way of doing it efficiently - not a reliability feature.






  • There’s no such thing as a “dating league”. People are selective, but the nature of that selectivity depends on the individual.

    Exactly this. I can’t deal with anymore “rating” of people’s attractiveness, as daily seen on Reddit and the such. Beauty, attractiveness, and overall interest a person generates is highly (if not solely) dependent on said interest’s other end.

    There is something deeply flawed in trying to put people into small, numbered boxes.







  • I’ve tried the animation in that article, and I do see the bright blue/green corona-like thing around the circle, alright. But there something odder : while the circle was shrinking, every two seconds or so, I saw the whole picture turn into a plain brownish square, the central dot being the only noticeable feature (the circle, for instance, wasn’t there anymore). Lasts a split second, then back to the shrinking circle. I’ve seen that full brown square maybe three or four times over the whole animation. I had to check the animation without focusing on the dot to make sure the brown frames weren’t real.

    Anyone else saw that?
