This is prob a silly idea but is there any way to harness this cosmic radiation that is bombarding the chip? Cosmic rays are high energy particles. Surely we can do something with that right?

I'm surprised they didn't take any hourly backups.

The way they describe the properties of it make it sound like a superconductor. Am I missing something?

Wow HDD's really are the new tape drives

What's next? Chastity belts and witch burning lol

So what the city gets an extra $1 or something. That seems pretty silly to tax

I can't promise this won't eat your lunch and pee on the floor but I've added a Ceph backed to preserve:https://github.com/cholcombe973/preserve I'll be adding integration tests with checksums to verify integrity this week. If anyone wants to build another backend I'd be happy to merge it.

Yet another Google product that'll I'll like and they'll kill off in a year. I'm getting tired of this pattern from them

I managed to get a plugin working in Rust for Ceph but unfortunately realized that Ceph namespaces the IO. This won't do what I want it to but maybe it'll give others some ideas :)

With our powers combined...

After checking out the blog post https://engineering.pinterest.com/blog/tracker-ingesting-mys... I thought it would be interesting to see what happens if I converted their NullEscape.c program to Rust. The results were encouraging so I submitted a PR :)

I agree with the others here. I like rust the way it is and I think it's fine to leave it alone :)

It sounds like etcd is in the I/O path. Is that correct?

I don't understand why this is being used over say librados + librbd from Ceph. This seems like an awful lot of work to get the same functionality that Gluster/Ceph already have. Is there something I'm missing here?

If you burn the alcohol and bury the biomass then you're carbon negative. This needs to get put into production immediately!

What incredibly short sighted stupidity

I hope they're planning on taking TPS or true potato seeds with them. You could fit a million true potato seeds in a small pouch and you'd be set for a long time :)

I planted about 50 fruit trees and bushes when I moved into my new place. I also converted the electric to 100% renewable. Other than dumping my natural gas heater I'm not sure what's left that I can do to help reduce climate change.

The bay area is screwed. I moved to Portland and never looked back

Windows 7 and above only? Ugh..

I haven't had much trouble growing skirret. It sprouts well from seed with a little bottom heat. I haven't tasted the roots yet. I'm hoping they're as good as I've read about

Nobody mentioned The Lorax movie where O'Hare air sells air to the smog ridden city. :-)

I keep wondering why we don't mine garbage landfills. Surely somewhere the technology exists to turn all that waste into raw materials again.

For anyone developing charms in Rust I would love to hear your feedback on the library. Pull requests are welcome of course ;)

It sounded cool until i read the post. 2Mb for the free tier is garbage.

Dwolla doesn't charge that but I have no idea who uses them

I would've done the same thing if I had a slimy developer building next door to me
