This is probably meant for interfacing directly with flash ICs, which have no real abstraction.

Cool. It kind of reminds me of how problems are often solved in an FPGA. You can only have so much combinatorial logic before you need to break the problem up into multiple stages. The subitizing thing seems like solving the problem in one

A word of caution to anyone considering buying one of the 4 TB Hitachi drives listed in the report: There are a lot of vendors selling “refurbished” HGST drives. Do not buy these. As I understand it, there is no such thing as a refurbished

You can find SFP+ modules that support both 10G and 1G.

How come? Are skbuffs allocated with vmalloc? I thought they were allocated from low memory.

> but DMA controllers will understand physical memory Yup, this is what I’ve found on many embedded SoCs. It’s unfortunate. The fact that they need physical addresses makes them not worth using in many cases (mainly when trying to move u

For what it’s worth, the Mustang had a somewhat significant refresh in 2011 (totally new engine design, but not considered a new generation), then another refresh around 2014 (mostly exterior body changes IIRC).

That depends heavily on the location. In many suburban developments, the power/communication lines are all buried underground. It would probably be much easier to install a couple of microcells around the neighborhood than to dig up ev

Out of curiosity, do they give you a publically accessible IP? Or is the connection NAT-ed?

The reason I brought up “normal sinus rhythm” and “atrial fibrillation” a few posts up is because those are two of the four possible results produced by the Apple Watch EKG app, the other two being “low and high heart rate” and “inconclusiv

> PVCs and AFib are not mutually exclusive Right. I didn’t mean to imply that they were, just that the watch misinterpreted frequent PVCs as being afib. In my case, it was easy to determine that they were PVCs with a normal underlying rh

Yeah, I’m currently going through the rounds of testing - just had the echocardiogram a week ago. Fortunately, that turned out normal. They gave me metoprolol, but that doesn’t seem to help. My potassium was kind of low, so they gave me a s

On a somewhat related note: The Apple Watch gave me a false positive for atrial fibrillation. I was having premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), which are _generally_ benign as long as your heart has no structural abnormalities. Basica

My fear with fixed link wireless broadband is that it won’t be “real” internet in the sense of a publically accessible IP. In the case of regular cellular service, is the IP publically accessible, or is it behind a NAT of some sort? I alway

The bus is also 8 bits wider, so it’s a wash.

I have to say he’s wrong when he says there’s no reason for EVER using O_DIRECT. One HUGE reason is performance for large sequential writes when using fast media and slow processors. Specifically, when the write speed of the media is in the

Change the networking config from NAT to bridged. The VM will now appear as a truly independent device on your LAN, as if it were plugged into a switch.

NVMe drives have it as well, at least the Samsung ones. You can read it on Linux by running: "nvme smart-log /dev/nvmeX"

Cool. How did you deal with the case where a block gets freed out of order? For example, Thread1 allocate (block index++) Thread2 allocate (block index++) Thread1 free (block index--) Thread3 allocate (block index++) Now thread 3 has a bloc

I can’t give you an actual answer, but what I can say is that my server had an uptime of 180+ days without any apparent memory leaks. I only have a few users though, but we do use it heavily.

I've noticed this with the LED strip on the lower front bumper of newer Mercedes cars. I'm pretty sure the DOT requires that your headlights don't blink, so I wonder how low the PWM frequency can be until they consider it bli

I did this during my quest to find a flicker-free LED light bulb. I found that basically all of them flicker. Some appear to alternate between banks of LEDs to reduce the dynamic range(?) of the flickering, but they all flicker. Home Depot
