Arduino API usage outside of hobby projects has been a disaster for firmware code quality

Holding my hand to my ear: Projects intended for hobbyists have architectures that are poorly-suited for professional applications? I'm hearing this for the first time

Troyhouse: How about all the scams through your SPACS, you never came clean about it. Millions of customers lost money. Chamath Palihapitiya: bullshit Nick_vladkis: It's not bullshit. I invested in all of them. You pitches were compelling. Then I lost tons. You made tons. Why? Chamath Palihapitiya: Then you generated capital losses. Did you use those yet?? Nick_vladkis: Respectfully - what kind of fucking answer is that? It's like beating the crap out of someone only to ask "how you liking that health insurance huh"

Holy shit

Man, this explains a whole lot about my former employer that was funded by him (we weren't SPAC'd though)

Couldn't be me about to combust learning AWS borked the docker package with incompatible plugin combos

Another day, another period of suffering due to atoi lacking a way to tell an invalid string from one containing 0s

Mfw my son's cold knocks me out for multiple days: from here on out, it's one symptom after another

A Reddit post titled 3.58 Petabytes written to a 256GB Samsung NVMe - It's at 170% usage and has more errors than there are stars in the universe.

The "Absolute Unit" of SSDs: Samsung PM981 (256GB) | just checked the stats on my humble Arma 3 server's boot drive and I'm pretty sure I've found the "Final Boss" of Samsung V-NAND. This is a standard Samsung PM981 256GB (OEM version of the 970 EVO), officially rated for 150 TBW. It has been running an Arma 3 server (Antistasi Ultimate + Headless Client) with 16GB of RAM and a playit.gg tunnel. Between the aggressive logging and the constant OS swapping, it's been under a 24/7 artillery barrage of writes. The Horror Stats: Capacity: 256 GB Total Data Written: 3.58 PB (3,580 TB) - That's 24x its rated lifespan! Percentage Used: 170% Power On Hours: 10,836 (~1.2 years of non-stop 320GB/hour hammering) Media & Data Integrity Errors: 1.935e32 (Yes, that's 193 Quintillion errors. For context, there are only about 1024 stars in the observable universe. My SSD has more errors than the cosmos has stars.) Current State of Chaos: The kernel log (dmesg) is absolutely screaming. It's throwing critical medium errors and unrecovered read errors constantly. The file system superblock is rotting away (Bad magic number), and the drive is basically disintegrating in real-time while the server is still heartbeating. I'm keeping it running until the very second it becomes a paperweight. It's no longer a storage device; it's a survivor. Has anyone ever seen a TLC drive take much abuse and keep going?

Shoutout to this one Samsung NVME that this guy ran an ARMA server off of and is still going after 24x its rated life span. www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarde...
