TC is filled with these sorts of videos. If you have time to burn then they are basically all this quality. His interests are also just wildly all over the place. From Christmas lights to dishwashers to coffee machines you just don'

Well that is better than what I gleened. I thought I'd read that the GPU needed extra kernel patches to properly work. If it's just the Ethernet driver that seems a lot more appealing. I thought it was device tree as well, so gre

I strongly considered it, but the one thing that scares me away from wanting to do the spark is you basically have to use nvidia's linux (from what I've read) and it doesn't appear the nvidia is interested in upstreaming thei

My non-serious assumption is that they prioritized the classic writings of 1800s authors like Johann David Wyss in their training. These authors were paid by the word, which resulted in long pointless chapters in their books just to milk m

Yeah, Hollywood went nuts for DRM under the assumption that just giving people the files would result in mass piracy. Piracy will always happen. DRM doesn't stop anything. Media is meant to be watched and heard which means no matter

Yeah, IDK what to tell you then. Sometimes docs just go unread. There's a reason why "RTFM" is a meme. It might be that they are wordy. It might be that your readers are lazy. It also might just be they don't realize

Fair enough. I just have a soft spot for people recognizing that they've been duped. It happened to me personally and I know it's a pretty difficult thing to go through. So I just tend to give a lot of grace even though the per

Falling for a cult is something that can happen to almost anyone. I think it's somewhat healthy for one to recognize they were in a cult and to share the experience of realizing that and getting out. It may come off as smug, but it&#

I think the issue with the community is they take their eccentric beliefs as being gospel truths which can lead to truly unhinged and irrational beliefs and actions (see: the Zizians). That's what can make the rationalist movement feel

I'm ending here. You are too emotional and now you are accusing (I assume myself) of slander. Grow up.

by cogman10 3mo ago
It depends on the GC, with ZGC no. Particularly if you enable generational mode. For other GCs like G1 and the parallel collector, when new gen is filled up the GC pauses the application in order to run a minor collection. For G1, major c

It really wasn't and was always dubious. A lot of the advice, for example, suggested using CMS. Which has been a terrible garbage collector almost since it was added to the JVM. When G1GC landed in 8, that was the correct GC to selec

My main advice, ignore all advice online about JVM tuning minecraft. It's dated and often just wrong. The best thing you can do is run on the latest JVM, set your max memory as high as you can tolerate, and use ZGC. That's it. T

Christ, this is actually the SO problem in a nutshell. I'm not going to go dig through SO to refind the examples of improperly "closed as duplicate" questions I stumbled on years ago while looking up a problem. It's just

It's almost inspiring how far someone can get without understanding really basic stuff about how an operating system operates.

I did, and it wasn't much better on the other side. And funnily enough, the questions that I answered that most contributed to getting me through the gauntlet years later were closed at duplicates (they weren't).

by cogman10 3mo ago
One of the more annoying things about SO was they'd pretty frequently misclassify new questions. Sometimes a new question was in fact a duplicate and should be closed as such. But in the quest to close duplicates I pretty frequently h

Simply yes. It's true that in specific functions a human can do better than a compiler at optimizing for a target platform (sometimes, not always). That's a place where someone could reasonably drop down to assembly and get bette

It will make the code slower. Writing maintainable assembly is at odds with writing fast assembly in most circumstances. A key optimization that's hard to pull off is inlining. An optimizing compiler can see that a method is small enou
