The main issue I see is that the gulf between capacity and transfer speed is now so vast with mechanical drives that restoring the array after drive failure and replacement is unreasonably long. I feel like you'd need at least two parity drives, not just one, because letting the array be in a degraded state for multiple days while waiting for the data to finish copying back over would be an unacceptable risk.
My 2000s-era cars don't* have tape decks, unfortunately. I say "unfortunately" because they also don't have line in, USB, or Bluetooth, so their AM/FM/CD car audio units are, in 2025, objectively inferior to the AM/FM/cassette ones in my 1990s-era cars.
Present tense because I still own cars from the '90s and 2000s. I refuse to own any car capable of violating my privacy, which is every new car.
TBF, a chicken that big would be absolutely terrifying and an amazing mount to ride into battle if it were trainable and reliably on your side. So it's really not that bad of an outcome, even if it wasn't the one intended.
The reason old renderings of dinosaurs look like this is that these represent the threshold of the known. They are scientific renders, containing only the details that we can be reasonably certain actually existed on these animals. You can of course go further and fill in missing details with imagination and reasonable speculation, but this will always be more an exercise in art than science, a speculative exercise.
I feel like a better way to represent "the threshold of the known" would be sort of the pictorial equivalent of "error bars" — instead of doing one image showing an animal that basically looks like it has mange because that's all you can be sure of, do a matrix of images that show various extremes of possibilities.
Public Domain meets the OSI's definition of "open source" and the FSF's definition of "Free Software." What you're describing is the state of it not being published yet.
It's funny: before the change in DNC leadership, @givesomefucks@lemmy.world stood out for how harshly critical he was of the Democrats, to the point that he often got downvoted because people thought he was some kind of concern troll. Then, of course, all his dire predictions came true.
It's almost as if he's paying close attention and understands the DNC very well.
No, but he's right.
