m8 have you even seen my childhood

it’s a case where he knows a guy just like Ronald but he’s not naming him, so he’s just talking about “Ronald”

I have one of the affected CPUs 😒

I often quote light switch rave 😁

because the thing on the screen doesn’t really exist, so when it appears to really exist it feels like magic

that’s amazing

I just had a provider issue take a server down after we swapped into production.my code was fine, still didn’t get to knock off on time.

capitalism preys on insecurity 🤷‍♂️

parking inspector?

“Sedates and pleases! Great for temperament”

yeah true. I guess what I’m saying is the considerations probably have changed, I seriously doubt RAID is no longer useful though.

3-2-1 is for backup, RAID is also for availability, eg your domain server not going down in case of drive failure. good point though.

yeah but if SSD failing is now less likely that other parts of the machine it might be better to focus on a redundant server to fail over to… it’s an interesting thought. RAID isn’t obsolete I don’t think but it’s an interesting question

I do recall google apparently stopped using raid in some data centres, but it was because they had whole-machine redundancy.

RAID is probably redundant for some of the uses it used to have, like optimising read performance by using many drives (SSD is fast) and honestly I suspect that SSDs are probably more reliable as they don’t have a bunch of platters and bearings and screaming rotational speeds.

So if you needed it for a base level of reliability, an SSD on its own may have exceeded that.

I suspect there are still uses for drive redundancy in some high availability setups… although your friend might be right. If the likelihood of drive failure is lower than other parts in the machine and you need high redundancy for availability it might make more sense to replicate the whole machine rather than the drives.

It’s possible redundancy specifically for the drives was an artifact of unreliable drives back in the day 🤔 they might have a point! I think it’s likely still useful at times though.

I’d rather hotswap a drive than set up a new server, even if it’s a less likely scenario.

Head to Bali, smoking cuban cigars, And we fuck up the party like acoustic guitars

“fuck up the party like acoustic guitars” always cracked me up so much.

falling behind? QUICK, everyone waste two hours of every day commuting to the fucking office so people can endlessly distract you from making it!

I use an open source password manager and long random passwords for most things.

my master password is a long phrase though, as well as any I have to type personally sometimes. passphrases are so much easier to type as well

hookers?

I work in a company with other people. it’s not a good idea to have an idea where you have to specialise in a range of things to be successful. I specialise in programming.

also, those benchmarks translate to better user experience which means they actually use our product, and lower hosting costs.

frameworks and patterns reduce bugs and let us create features quickly. it’s important, if you think it’s pointless maybe it’s not for you. if you want to go do a startup instead, good luck.
