"Scheme for world domination", yet it has no Windows builds ;-)
Also, from the examples it looks like it requires (or at least recommends) an APL keyboard, or around a dozen macros for characters like λ, ∀, ∊, etc.
Still, this has to be one of the most practically useful Scheme (or Lisp) implementations that I've seen in a while.... Although it probably needs some getting used to for a Schemer who is used to having set! and friends....
Er? Do you really think professional scientists would write an epic prog-rock musical about the dinosaur invasion of Norwich if they weren't extremely certain of their hypothesis?
Sort of. Some are the lessons in blood that made the industry safer. Some are the (sometimes) shitty result of capitalism (like the Alaska Airlines crash).
Almost all are lessons in blood that made the industry safer. Still, almost all have at least part of the blame (and more often than not a BIG part) on the airline, for cutting corners one way or another (maintenance, personnel, training, ...)
Exactly that -- the airline was making the crew fly late at night without rest, not the crew. Also notice they mention the crew was committed to landing and not delaying the flight -- knowing post-soviet authoritarian management style, I suspect they expected a tough talk with the seniors, had they delayed the flight (a 1-2 hour delay of departure would probably exceed crew's working day and need an even bigger delay and a new crew).
Also, it's just the culture. Many Russian planes like Il-76 land on the front wheels. Why? There's an old belief that you need to fly a bit faster than in the operation manual. To avoid stalls, just in case. I guess, it's an old superstition from the military. Until the last decade, it wasn't reviewed, just perpetuated over generations of pilots.
Often, such companies demand soft touchdowns and reprimand for hard touchdowns. Combined with overspeed, this produced 2012 Red Wings crash[1] -- the plane touched down so softly, and was significantly overspeed, that interceptors and reverse thrusters didn't turn on, and the plane kept just touching the surface without braking.
All this can only be fixed by fixing the management. And that's what CRM system focuses on.
By some metrics, the US is considered a developing country. For example the U.N. places it at rank 46, below such countries as Romania, Cuba, Bulgaria, Albania:
I can find some ranking metric that your country will be low on the list, I guarantee it. On the other hand, what metric can I find that puts it at #1? There are a few of those that work for the US.
sure, if you're looking for "any" ranking... but this is not some random dude's "top 100 countries to visit" or something. It's the U.N.'s official list of developed countries. That puts some credibility to it, and it is definitely relevant in this topic since people were discussing whether the US counted as developed country or not. That is certainly more credible than finding "some list where [my] country is low on". I'm sure they are out there but I don't think you can find any list by the UN or any other credible world-wide organization.
Please, feel free to prove me wrong!
Oh, and what list(s) did you have in mind where the US is #1? I can't think of many (at least not positive ones)
I wonder why they are having so much trouble getting this working properly with smaller RAM footprints. We have been using commercial storage appliances that have been able to do this for about a decade (at least) now, even on systems with "little" RAM (compared to the amount of disk storage attached).
Just store fingerprints in a database and run through that at night and fixup the block pointers...
That's why. Due to reasons[1], ZFS does not have the capability to rewrite block pointers. It's been a long requested feature[2] as it would also allow for defragmentation.
I've been thinking this could be solved using block pointer indirection, like virtual memory, at the cost of a bit of speed.
But I'm by no means a ZFS developer, so there's surely something I'm missing.
It looks like they’re playing more with indirection features now (created for vdev removal) for other features. One of the recent summit hackathons sketched out using indirect vdevs to perform rebalancing.
Once you get a lot of snapshots, though, the indirection costs start to rise.
You can also use DragonFlyBSD with Hammer2, which supports both online and offline deduplication. It is very similar to ZFS in many ways. The big drawback though, is lack of file transfer protocols using RDMA.
I've also heard there are some experimental branches that makes it possible to run Hammer2 on FreeBSD. But FreeBSD also lacks RDMA support. For FreeBSD 15, Chelsio has sponsored NVMe-oF target, and initiator support. I think this is just TCP though.
I know, that's why I added quotes around "owned", so in other words what I meant is that the EU should force Steam to create the option to transfer that license among its own users.
Yeah but I can just assume that this would also apply to e.g. Microsoft Windows licenses, and that Microsoft lobbies strongly against such a law (also every other vendor who locks software licenses to a particular end-user or licensee)
Note that I wouldn't very much welcome such a law but I wouldn't bet on it happening any time soon
