Remind me, what's RAID 0?
03:02
<~Vornicus>
striping.
03:02 Kindamoody[zZz] is now known as Kindamoody

<~Vornicus>
each drive contains half the data.
03:04
< JustBob>
RAID is a horrible abomination against all that which is good and right in the world.
03:04
<@Reiv>
Your favoured solution, Bob?
03:04
<@celticminstrel>
Oh?
03:04 * Reiv muses as to just how useful striping would be on dual SSDs.
03:04
< JustBob>
Buying reliable HDDs and backing them up regularly. :p
03:05
< JustBob>
But I say this as someone who's had more than one RAID 1 array blow up.
03:05
< JustBob>
Err, RAID 10, that is.
03:05
<@Reiv>
Raid is not about reliability, but speed & availability.
03:05
<&Derakon>
I think Reiv was trying to say that your favored solution tends to be a horrible abomination etc.
03:05
< JustBob>
Ah, well, that too. :p
03:06
< JustBob>
Reiv - I've tended to run it as a reliablity mechanism. My priority goes Raid 1 -> Raid 10.
03:06
< JustBob>
And from what I understand, SSDs do not like RAID.
03:06
<@Reiv>
Yeah, this laptop is advertising, nay bragging, that it runs dual SSDs in RAID 0 configuration
03:06
<@Reiv>
I stare at this and go "What. SSD wasn't fast enough?"

Because you can grep for it easily, a feat that cannot be done for C-style casts.

"Go away and change things so you can do it properly" can often escalate something from "quick fix with a hacky workaround" to "major beurocratic shenanigans beyond the value of the actual change"
23:44
<&McMartin>
Yeah
23:44

If I'm in a bad mood, this comes to Engineering as:
23:45
<&McMartin>
"A major customer bought our product to do X, but corporate policy forbids X. Can you do X without doing X? This is blocking our deployment."
23:46
<&McMartin>
That said, the exact quote: "How do a change a widget's color without using this COM method?" is a bad question that could have been phrased to not hit this.
23:46
<&McMartin>
"Is there a core system call that will let me shift a widget's method? I'd like to avoid COM if possible."
23:47
<&McMartin>
The answer might be "You can't avoid COM here", but there are ways to do a whole lot of things to widgets without touching COM and it's not unreasonable to wonder if the reason you haven't found one for colorchange is because you weren't looking in the right place.
