It also just shows how when you have one primary server that you use 99.9% of the time and one identical backup server sitting right next to it, you would imagine that that would provide sufficient redundancy, but that assumes that the primary server failing and the backup server failing are independent events and if it turns out that's incorrect for some unexpected reason and they're correlated, you're pretty hosed.

clearly the solution is to write a separate implementation for your backup

Pile Of Garbage posted:that was less "people" and more "enterprise storage vendors" or so ive been lead to believe. not sure if they do it any more but the idea is that you'd stagger the MTBF of the drives so that they'd potentially fail months apart instead of weeks apart. yep but also home data hoarders and enthusiasts too fwiw. when i bought my nas and some drives a few years ago the cashier asked me if she should fetch drives from different batches so i guess it's something they get asked a lot.

i remember a HDD manufacturer shipping a similar firmware bug which wasn't quite as predictable as N power on hours, but still inevitably bricked the disk. might have been the number of power cycles or something like that.

elif 13 hours ago | parent | context | prev | next [–] | on: Training my sense of CO2 ppm I've been using the uHoo air monitor for the last few months. I have one in the bedroom, living room, and office. It monitors many air factors, but CO2 was my primary focus. My original goal was to have a fresh air intake activate automatically at certain concentration levels, if the outside ambient temperature/humidity were appropriate. However, living in a hot humid place, the data I got made that solution seem futile. Ventilation for CO2 alone takes so much air that it becomes basically a full reset on dehumidifying and conditioning. However, this failure lead me to the fortuitous discovery that by adding 36 hydroponic heads of lettuce, I am now going beyond outside CO2 levels, dipping down to 390-400 and only reaching ~700 overnight when it's the worst. reply

hn's thread on the digital markets act is full of "stockholm meets cupertino" syndrome fbn79 21 hours ago | root | parent | next [–] This bring more choiche power to the final user. But are final users always in position to make such choiches? Do the final user always have the competence? If you open the app store walled gardens good things can enter, but even bad things. Today if you buy an iPhone to you son you sure that apps are reviewed by Apple. With this ACT, nor Apple, nor other provider can give you this certainty of app moderation. reply RcouF1uZ4gsC 16 hours ago | parent | prev | next [–] It blows my mind how many people have bought into EU's position on this. No, the EU restricting Apple's freedom does not afford you greater choice. You, as an adult, can choose not to buy Apple hardware. If you're not confident in your ability to do that, just stick to Android. Don't demand that EU treat the rest of us like children just because that's how you would like to be treated. reply bun_at_work 16 hours ago | root | parent | next [–] The EU failed to regulate the pervasive tracking of Facebook on devices, Apple did what they could to protect their users. reply akersten 17 hours ago | parent | next [–] Yeah, I'm honestly shocked at how welcomed the concept of "the government is telling developers that they must make their product less secure and streamlined" is here... This will not bring the interoperability utopia many believe, unless you mean 8 different app updaters bogging down your phone because now there's "competition" and the DrainMyBattery Store only charges 15% fees so it's the only place you can get CoolApp. reply 627467 10 hours ago | parent | prev | next [–] I left Europe before the full enforcement of this cookies dialog and everytime I spend time there I'm like: how can anyone accept this state of affairs reply from 14 hours ago [flagged] [dead] | root | parent | prev | next [–] I don't mean to be presumptuous but your continent is a leader in nothing but useless regulations designed to extort American companies that actually innovate. pb7 13 hours ago | root | parent | next [–] The difference is that the US is the market where these companies are born and develop their innovation so it makes sense for regulation to be passed as needed. The EU is nothing but a leech. It could focus on actually creating competition which would naturally resolve the problem but no, it chooses the easy way out by passing regulation year after year instead. reply

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32274077 Map showing birthplaces of "notable people" around the world (tjukanovt.github.io) teekert 2 days ago | prev | next [–] Very nice, I'm missing the city names though  Crazy how little women there are, it's like for our entire recorded history we have been ignoring 50% of our potential. Let's hope it gets a lot more mixed! reply j7ake 2 days ago | parent | next [–] They weren’t ignored. For most of recorded history the basic unit was the family. The men were in charge of public affairs of the family, while women were in charge of private and domestic affairs. It was only recently the basic unit has been further subdivided into individuals, which required many to rely on institutional support on matters that used to be within the family, eg education, pensions, restaurants, clothing shops, apartment complexes, birth control. The truly ignored throughout history were the peasants and serfs. Most men of significance were from aristocratic or upper class upbringings. The divide is not between men and women, but haves vs have nots.
