I am not sure I follow. How would that be possible?
Re:Ask HN: What's the best paper you've read in 2020? on Wednesday December 09, 2020 @04:09AM (#25356729)
On this same note I would also suggest some papers which show you can do so much better than simple erasure coding -

[1] Clay Codes - https://www.usenix.org/conference/fast18/presentation/vajha . This paper was also implemented on Ceph and the results are shown in the paper.

and, [2] HeART: improving storage efficiency by exploiting disk-reliability heterogeneity - https://www.usenix.org/conference/fast19/presentation/kadeko... . This paper talks about how just one erasure code is not enough and employing code conversions over the disk-reliability we can get up to 30% savings!

It seems really bad that I relate to parts of this even though I am still not 25. I mean things are good with me, I am grateful for everything I have. But once in a while I just feel really empty and that I could be doing way more that I am doing right now rather than lazing around. We are a weird generation for sure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Usually the comments first. Unless the article title is too catchy :P
Re:Windows 10 – WiFi always connected even during sleep? on Tuesday February 11, 2020 @07:50PM (#22304656)
Well I find this to be true in Mac as well. And honestly I find it irritating. Though the WiFi part is still fine but the the Bluetooth bugs me a lot. If we have the Bluetooth switched on and put the laptop to sleep the Bluetooth is still on and tends to get connected to my Bluetooth earphones. You can find me constantly switching my earphones on and off hoping to get it connected to the right device. (Ofc I started keeping my Bluetooth on Mac off now a days)
Re:Show HN: Student Happiness Ranking for Universities on Wednesday January 29, 2020 @11:36PM (#22188868)
One way to improve this is to look at the confession pages and the meme page data of the universities. Though getting all this data will be cumbersome.
