the (to me at least) most surprising complete success apple ever managed was the apple stores being a real and profitable thing. i figured even then that the days of physical stores was coming to a close, and especially with apples focused product lines (little need to compare and consider) it didn't seem to make much sense. but here we are, a seemingly impossible to replicate success story in building brick and mortar stores. i found it real stupid of microsoft to try too, but then i had already misjudged once so v  v

apple stores are wild, they didn't just succeed they became the best revenue per square foot stores in the world almost instantly ofc tim value engineering the genius bar into uselessness is hurting that but they have a long way to fall

RFC2324 posted:I know around here we still had malls with arcades and lots of people in them until coronavirus. where is that here in Southern California, the only places with arcades are the mini golf and Dave and Busters. And DnB arcades are usually busted so they're not fun to play (and of course, kids wouldn't be able to go in unassisted either) I guess for malls around here, I would assume that kids would read manga at Barnes and Noble or get a drink at Starbucks and play on their phones or whatever. Gamestops are becoming hit-and-miss... not all malls will have one.

before the coronavirus, apple stores were constantly packed to the brim and you needed to wait 20 minutes on a list to even talk to a salesperson the difference is staggering

they shouldn't have allowed non ms branded computers inside ms stores. who thought it was a good idea to entice your customers with a brand new trashfire from acer? also reliability of the surface line doesn't help the case of having them as demo units running 24/7 posting from my work provided, carpet lined surface laptop 2 with a broken touchpad.

Tankakern posted:but this is still the linux thread, right? Although I would prefer to keep my raid and my filesystems separate, there are other aspects of btrfs that I really hope will gain widespread adoption. Top among them is the idea of data journaling. The top filesystems now are doing metadata journaling which makes sure that an incomplete write (to, say, the root directory) to filesystem metadata won't completely screw up your system or the directory entries where the write has corrupted. But imagine true data journaling supported by applications all the way down to the hardware level. No more corrupt fstab due to inexplicable power loss. It is now safe, at any time, to simply unplug your raspberry pi without signaling it to turn off. No more BAK files littering your workspaces because text files are especially prone to negative effects due to corruption. Truly, we will reach a point in time where it's not a catastrophe if you forget to unmount your usb disk. Also, taking this one step further, we can turn this into a filesystem level "undo". Without any extra application code. The problem, of course, is figuring out a portable API that makes all this junk possible. Do you group your writes and they only get committed with a sync? How do we expose this API to Java, Python, Javascript, etc? (Likely we'll have C-backed storage libraries that will do this work on our behalf.) And who is going to actually want to make these changes? What matters is getting the code out there, then the work on adoption can start. Also, Red Hat will undoubtedly make the btrfs utils much more better.

pram posted:this is fedora, not redhat. they deprecated btrfs in RHEL so this is literally 'ill write the wiki' I should know, because I had to convert my home partition from btrfs to xfs when I moved from fedora core to centos 8. I'm pretty sure that I even talked about it on this thread. On the other hand pram posted:
well, a man can dream. who knows. if enough paying customers clamor for it then even btrfs can come back

true, presumably the oracle legal department peons have an internal form letter that goes roughly "sure boss, i see what you are saying, but that would in fact be suing ourselves, and it is my legal opinions that this would be counterproductive."

i dont know why you think oracle would sue itself it’s entirely possible to sue distributors or end users for patent infringement oh you say the gpl prevents that but are you going to rely on a license agreement written by a dude who could be defeated by potted plants against a legal department that has managed to copyright an api, despite precedent and law to the contrary

The biggest example is the Open Invention Network, of which Oracle seems to be a member of anyway. If there were any serious flaws in the GPL, don't you think they would have been addressed by now? You still think Oracle is just gonna leave OIN to start suing people using btrfs on Linux?
