that’s amazing

I just had a provider issue take a server down after we swapped into production.my code was fine, still didn’t get to knock off on time.

capitalism preys on insecurity 🤷‍♂️

“Sedates and pleases! Great for temperament”

yeah true. I guess what I’m saying is the considerations probably have changed, I seriously doubt RAID is no longer useful though.

3-2-1 is for backup, RAID is also for availability, eg your domain server not going down in case of drive failure. good point though.

yeah but if SSD failing is now less likely that other parts of the machine it might be better to focus on a redundant server to fail over to… it’s an interesting thought. RAID isn’t obsolete I don’t think but it’s an interesting question

I do recall google apparently stopped using raid in some data centres, but it was because they had whole-machine redundancy.

RAID is probably redundant for some of the uses it used to have, like optimising read performance by using many drives (SSD is fast) and honestly I suspect that SSDs are probably more reliable as they don’t have a bunch of platters and bearings and screaming rotational speeds.

So if you needed it for a base level of reliability, an SSD on its own may have exceeded that.

I suspect there are still uses for drive redundancy in some high availability setups… although your friend might be right. If the likelihood of drive failure is lower than other parts in the machine and you need high redundancy for availability it might make more sense to replicate the whole machine rather than the drives.

It’s possible redundancy specifically for the drives was an artifact of unreliable drives back in the day 🤔 they might have a point! I think it’s likely still useful at times though.

I’d rather hotswap a drive than set up a new server, even if it’s a less likely scenario.

oh wow that adorable, belligerent face. absolutely knows what he’s stealing

Head to Bali, smoking cuban cigars, And we fuck up the party like acoustic guitars

“fuck up the party like acoustic guitars” always cracked me up so much.

falling behind? QUICK, everyone waste two hours of every day commuting to the fucking office so people can endlessly distract you from making it!

I use an open source password manager and long random passwords for most things.

my master password is a long phrase though, as well as any I have to type personally sometimes. passphrases are so much easier to type as well

because people look for indicators they recognise to assess intelligence and you don’t fit their mental model as easily.

you could be cynical and say much of that presentation is manipulated and not a reliable indicator of intelligence, it’s just that intelligent people are usually better at controlling their signals - unless they have difficulties with social nuances like us. you could also just shug and say you’re different and they don’t get it for a while, and that’s fine too.

everyone is lazy and uses shortcuts to interpret a complex world. when you’re different the shortcuts don’t work and people make mistakes. they’re also being lazy 🦥

I work in a company with other people. it’s not a good idea to have an idea where you have to specialise in a range of things to be successful. I specialise in programming.

also, those benchmarks translate to better user experience which means they actually use our product, and lower hosting costs.

frameworks and patterns reduce bugs and let us create features quickly. it’s important, if you think it’s pointless maybe it’s not for you. if you want to go do a startup instead, good luck.

not for people you like

ohhhh I just started playing. Honestly it’s a very fun game.

probably a good way of indicating he’s talking currently paying subs and not saying something like “we’ve had 34 million people sign up for a paid account” when half of them have cancelled since
