Accidental Tech Podcast618: Type System Says No

A new toy @marcoarment bought, a new toy @marcoarment swears he won't buy, many names @siracusa won't use for his app, and a snack of sharks.
Pedro Fernandes@atpfm @siracusa While I find interesting the APFS clone functionality, in case of disk failure, if I have two copies on the same drive, in a “standard” file system there would be a better chance that the “bad sectors" could only affect one of the files, no? Good luck on your Ozempic APP John, may there be no side effects 🤣
John Siracusa@pfernandes That’s true, but as I said on the show, redundant data storage like that, whether it’s ZFS duplicate blocks or RAID 1, is not a backup solution. Proper backups are the best data protection. (Also, SSDs tend to fail in different ways, and APFS has pretty bad performance on spinning disks.)
