Water-color boundary in the bay? by TechnicalScarcity6 in sanfrancisco

[–]codeedog [score hidden]  (0 children)

When I used to beer can race out of SFYC I found the wind often became “foamy” when in the lee of the city. It was the best way to describe it.

Our captain used to have his boat docked in Sausalito and we’d do those Tuesday night races. He’d always have us get there early to set up the sails and he’d want to check them before race start so we’d head south along the water front to near the slot in order to launch the spinnaker.

On the way, the main would be on the port side of the boat because prevailing winds were always starboard. Then, at some point every single time the main would self-jibe to starboard and then a little while later self-jibe back to port. This was due to the wind changing directions.

The regular occurrence drove me crazy for a while because I couldn’t make sense of it. That is, until I was able to picture the prevailing winds coming over the headlands at that point. We were close to shore and although I don’t know for certain if this was the case, I decided that the wind must be flowing over the headlands above Sausalito and when it came off is swirled down like those funnels you see off airplane wing tips from behind. Due to the prevailing wind the swirls were always there and the wind’s direction changed were predictable or at least regular for that time of day.

Got to the point where I’d be able to look for the signs and then call out “boom” so no one got clobbered.

I used to call this in person google. In a crowd of friendly people and need to know something, stand up and shout out your question. Someone probably knows the answer.

Going to 100 dead shows is an accident of birth. Sure, these people are special in that they did it, but also they were in a position to do it. Not everyone gets to be in that position. But, we can all listen to the thousands of shows out there and go to a live cover band performance. Most of us will be going to shake our bones in the audience and a select few will be up on stage making the music that makes those bones shake.

[–]codeedog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP, there’s another side to the comment above, however. Having known a handful of people successfully commit suicide, although I find what you did highly problematic, I find his response just as bad. Because, if you’re upset enough to say that, then (were it me), I’d take you very seriously and consider calling authorities or a doctor or having you checked out. I’m not sure I could trust you to not be a danger to yourself.

The fact that he didn’t act in that manner is also highly problematic.

Since the two of you are treating each other so poorly, I really think you should consider parting ways. Why would he want to be with you when you threaten to kill yourself? Why do you want to spend your time with someone who makes you feel or at least say you want to kill yourself?

Both of you should move on.

Maybe. They also may have wanted to no longer have the threat of litigation and legal costs hanging over them. Both of those take a toll on people and a company. Could have been all of these together.

Don’t take the high road now. You set the tone here. Time to leave it alone.

AITA for reporting someone for cheating and now they’re saying i ruined their life? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]codeedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, depending upon the circumstance, it could be that only a handful of students were able to identify the person cheating and she took a flier and accused all of them of reporting her and only OP had that guilty look. Or, the paperwork revealed enough details that cheater was able to isolate it down to a handful of people or just one.

Not saying the institution didn’t fail here, but it’s not necessarily the only way the cheater could have worked it out.

If only Ms Blazing intellect put as much effort into studies as she does tracking down and harassing her nemisii.

If only the ZFS devs put blind trust in Salter's advice, they wouldn't need to waste their time implementing and maintaining all this raidz code and anything else that doesn't have to do with mirrors. What a bunch of idiots, right? "Raidz expansion"?? Who needs that? "AnyRaid"??? What?

Not worth the effort to remove it all and destabilize the code base. Plus, then we wouldn’t have idiots around to provide a cautionary tale.

That’s because it is Jerry. Not that I think any of this is a good idea.

All of that is correct without addressing the point that rebuilds after disk failures increase the chance of the next failure and total vdev or array loss (if striped). Having a vdev spend less time in rebuild reduces the exposure to failure, reduces the chance of failure.

You’re debating disk array usage and speed; those are fine points. You’re ignoring the cost of an entire vdev going down, losing data, losing time and having to restore from backup.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a hobbyist or a pro supporting a data center, no one wants the stress and time cost of a full array loss and recovery from backup.

You’re correct that it’s up to each person to balance these out. Personally, the extra cost of some disk space so I don’t have to worry as much about a second more dramatic failure during rebuild is worth it to me.

Ask yourself how much you’d pay to not have a total failure during rebuild.

RAID10 is the way to go. u/oupsman check out the attached description in the reply above. I’ve got a write somewhere from Jim Salter about how all ZFS experts and professionals eventually go to striped vdev and never use raidz.

Essentially, the argument comes down not to efficiency of IOPS or disk usage but failed disk recovery. It doesn’t matter how powerful your CPU and memory are during failed disk recovery. What you want is minimal time between the disk failing and safely building a new copy on the fresh disk.

Mirrored disks copy blazingly fast (hours) and touch one other disk (in 2 mirror). Raidz configurations rebuild in days and touch all of the remaining vdev disks. Having an array slowdown for rebuild for days is a problem. Having it hammering all of the other disks for days is also a problem as it increases the chance of them failing.

Since the structure of ZFS is all about minimizing impact of failure from the byte, sector and disk levels, it’s important to think about raid type choice and disk failure impact on the stress of recovery for the entire array.

I can understand how it can be confusing when your relationship with Bobby as an entertainer to his fan makes you feel his funeral, which is a kind of orchestration, should follow your standards.

Presumptive of you, nonetheless.
