I’m on RAID1 on btrfs, so I just rebalance and remove the disks as they break.

Damn. 2/8 drives in my array have died. I was going to replace them, but at this price point I might just delete some porn instead.
Or buy cloud storage.


I think we’ve had 50/50% analogue and digital clocks at home. Analogue on walls and wrists, digital on microwaves and VCRs. I’m sure that helped make the connection.
I can understand that kids are not motivated to practice telling time from an oldskool watchface when they always have a digital clock in their pocket.
We recently switched cars. The previous one had a big digital display for the speed. My wife is completely unable to tell the speed from a regular gauge now.


I remember a time when I couldn’t tell time with an analogue clock.
I walked to school by myself from age 7. When my parents left for work they said I should get going when the big hand is pointing straight down.


Hero material right there.


Looks like a low barrier. It could likely have bounced over.


Weird to see a trademarked drug as the only ingredient listed. This would not fly in the EU.
Acetylsalicylic acid and whatever milk powder you have in those pills for delivery.


My jr developer will eventually be familiar with the entire codebase and can make decisions with that in mind without me reminding them about details at every turn.
LLMs would need massive context windows and/or custom training to compete with that. I’m sure we’ll get there eventually, but for now it seems far off. I think this bubble will have to burst and let hardware catch up with our ambitions. It’ll take a couple of decades.


It’s like having a lightning-fast junior developer at your disposal. If you’re vague, he’ll go on shitty side-quests. If you overspecify he’ll get overwhelmed. You need to break down tasks into manageable chunks. You’ll need to ask follow-up questions about every corner case.
A real junior developer will have improved a lot in a year. Your AI agent won’t have improved.


The colour seems right, but the proportions are easy off.
It sure is!
In my case it’s vulnerable while I re-balance.
btrfs can work with mixed-size disks and change RAID-levels on-line, too.
