RE: Discourse is slow on Android. Why?
I am not surprised that firefox is slower compared to chrome on android, I was more curious as to how much better it performs with a more robust processor

@Intercourse said:
There are exceptions to all of these.
obviously, if there was only one truth in the world, the world would have been nothing but silence.
Just a reminder your original statement which I used as a baseline to my response,
referred to "Home Usage" / "Small User" use caseAnd not to a company that provide a medium or large scale backup solution solutions.
or any company that provide backup as a service. needs changes with scale.The common misconception that RAID == BACKUP can screw a "small user" big time.
Many made that mistake and many will continue.As a small user if you already decided to go with Raid 5. and you give me the following options
a. 1 x raid of 24TB
b. 2 x raid of 12TBI would blindly prefer option b , you don't put all your eggs in one basket unless you don't mind a scrambled egg

RAID 1? RAID 10? I hate losing 50% of my storage to redundancy overhead.
my reasoning is use raid 5 or what ever you want. but at the end of the day. for a proper backup you will need redundancy.if you have a 12TB raid 5 on Location A
and you mirror it to Location B to another 12TB raid
beside the location difference you are going to lose 50% of you storage for redundancy overhead regardless.It is your choice if you want to increase the risk by spreading more data on less units.
Bottom line
RAID is like an insurance company it is all good until you need to make a claim.
Even an insurance company have an insurance. make sure your RAID does too. -
RE: RAID is the best backup
@Intercourse said:
RAID is a good component of backup for home users. Most home users do not need any of the file-serving functionality. They just need another copy of their files somewhere, which is all a backup is really. You have a copy on machine #1, and a copy on machine #2.
Well it depends.
There are two prime usages for external RAID ( aka NAS, SAS, etc)
- Storage
- Backup
Rule 1
You can have "storage" without a "backup", but you can never have a "backup" without the "storage".Rule 2
You don't serve files from backupRule 3
You make your Raid a small as possible, the bigger the capacity, the more moving parts - more point of failures.
More failures Less chance of recovery.
It is easier to rebuild 4tb of raid data then rebuild 12tb or 48tb
ironically the rebuild process intensity can promote another disk failureRule 4
Get clean consistent regulated electricity. a UPS might help.
some places you can cleaner electricity then others places. but also make sure that you don't make it dirty your self by connect a laser printer to the same line of power as your NAS.
sudden power off are the main cause of data corruption, and power spikes can promote raid micro-controller errors.Rule 5
Raid 5 is evilRule 6
Raid 6 is evilRule 7
make more then one backup for important stuff. make backup in more then one location.Rule 8
there are always more rules -

RE: What is wrong with the following laptop design
My laptop has power, USB 3, VGA and HDMI on the same side. Works fine.
my ASUS-G71 was my favorite,
power, Ethernet, VGA, esata(never used it) at the back
2 usb ports, firewire on the left , 2 usb ports on the right and 2 audio jacks on the right. both nicely covered
it even came with blu-ray that I never used.
and it had a disco modeWhen it had to retire, I got the Model B in the picture. it works too but it was the one thing the ruin it for me.
got used to it eventually -

RE: What is wrong with the following laptop design
it is more common then one think( 1 google result is enough for me to claim that) .
but it is also possible that it was a minor short-circuiting with no real damage to the board. a short circuit in a well designed board can minimize the damage to the more important parts of the board.
But it didn't make much difference if the motherboard was completely fried or a it was small short circuit that can be easily fixed. the outcomes were the same, the man got fired.

RE: What is wrong with the following laptop design
Of the two I'd probably get the second, because having all the plugs on one side of the laptop is pretty damn convenient.
Model B offer much more ports, the bad design is that most cable (power cord, hdmi, vga, extra is on the right side of the machine). on a limited desk space you are going to suffer greatly. I am not sure what are the statistics but I believe the majority of the population uses their right hand for the mouse. regardless most products are designed for right hand usage.
So you weren't going to tell us? You were actually asking?
Originally I had 2 major things on my mind that are fundamentally flowed.
-
Is the side they choose to put all the ports on Model B
-
The proximity of the audio jack to the USB port.
personally I tried to insert the headphones blindly and something felt not as smooth as I expected.
I actually inserted it to the usb port. I believe if I didn't realize that quick enough and kept on poking I could have caused a short circuit.
There was a urban legend where I used to work that some one got fired because they actually burned a mac pro tower motherboard for a similar mistake.

RE: What is wrong with the following laptop design
Model A is far more likely to tip over backwards unexpectedly than model 2.
model b your desk will tip over before that monster will.External output cables on the side instead of the back, making you have to wrap cords around into view to plug into a monitor instead of being neat and tidy behind the thing? Or is that just me?
You hit the spot, it is not just you , this is actually a big pain to use model B
when you have an external monitor, and the power cord poping on the same side of the mouse. -
RE: What is wrong with the following laptop design
1 does not have USB 2.0, though it has HDMI.
2 has USB 3.0, but only has VGA. Can't tell what some of the other ports are.
both have hdmi, it might not be clear from the picture. and
I think both have usb3 and at least 1 usb2.0 probably on the other side.Clearly the apple-logo is missing.

Wolfram-alpha
nice it can handle it with a direct copy-paste
programmatic way does require modification of the expression, work but less desired.

Calculator that can calc 2^4! on copy paste hint:not microsoft calc
The challenge evaluate this expression using copy-paste
1*(1^3)*((997/1+3)!)/((997/1)!)
Microsoft calculator on windows 8 did a partial good job copy pasting that expression except
omitting the ^ and just wrote 13. and I guess this is the wtf here.Google should be able to evaluate it but the expression does not invoke the calculator may be the numbers are too big for them to waste cpu
smaller expression works
So what calculator do you use?
