The Amigas can read/write 720KB DD PC floppies but indeed not HD floppies. Starting with the A600 they had an internal IDE port. The "ACSI" port of the ST is a custom/proprietary port which needs an active adapter to in

He did a few good tunes on the Amiga, and also wrote his own tracker/replayer software called Medley . May he rest in peace.

Crafting Amiga utility disks was a bit of a subculture in the Amiga community.

The etymology hails from old Norse and the Viking age, before making it into English. Styrbord, the side you steer (styr) on, and Babord/bakbord, the side your back (bak/bakåt) faces.

Did you evaluate SQLite on a floppy drive or something?

Unfortunately yes, but as always only for the type of time-consuming DDL changes that incur a write block in a situation where you just can't have the production environment stall or wait that long. The past 5-10 years have seen severa

With Arm Graviton on AWS, for our specific environments and workloads, we get better performance for less money. Same goes for the hosts, who pay a smaller upfront investment per core and less in electricity per core. Bigger bang for the bu

If it's of any value to anyone, perhaps as an indication of hardware/environment implementation, I get identical numbers (<1% difference) on Oracle's Ampere Altra servers with OpenSSL 1.1.1n on Debian 11.

Sysbench is a better synthetic test in my opinion because it does a lot of varied grinding instead of trying to evaluate the entire CPU using just one very narrow and specific task. Even on the same Linux distribution there can be a lot of

It's threaded as of recently. Before that the throughput obviously hinged on single-core performance. 1 Gbit/s sounds like lower tier laptop spec to me. My 2015 low-power Celeron test rig could do ~700 Mbit/sec through a medi

>"Yes, and this is tantamount to suggesting that Python developers should be satisfied with Python 2.0 (arguably 1.0 if you do F# development). Mono is effectively dead and abandoned, and it only exists now for historical reasons.&

It's not pretty low, or objectively low, but it can be considered relatively low. The average amount of RAM in desktops and laptops is still <32 GiB. From this perspective it's a very high limit.

by daneel_w 4y ago
That limit is 32 GiB. Hard to call it "fairly low". If you encountered a lower limit then it's something you can tune in login.conf.

Is there a huge difference between that and what Mono offers?

It's the commercial limb that has developed gangrene, not the software, not its founder, nor the developers. The software is (so far) not in any immediate danger.

I've been surprised several times the past decade by how many people just don't notice the poor quality of light with low CRI, that the light is "hollow" and missing a chunk in the red/yellow part of the spectrum. T

For me Aspirin takes about three times longer to reach effect compared to Ibuprofen or Paracetamol which "kicks in" after just 15 to 20 minutes. As for getting rid of a headache they're all equally efficient on me.

Thanks for sharing. Hopefully the information can reach and help others. Do you happen to know what the biological/medical reason behind the problem was and how the magnesium/VitB supplements help?

Larger drives are faster because in order to provide more storage they have to use multiple NAND chips, which the controller interfaces with in parallel . Older DLC SSDs of 250-500 GB could often sustain e.g. 550 MB/sec write speed (S

With a TLC-configured controller each write is actually three consecutive program/erase operations on the affected NAND cell. With QLC it's four such operations. All MLC schemes - DLC, TLC and QLC - are cost-cutting measures, and

In my opinion they all have quite good GiB-per-dollar value these days for what they really are: a medium that's crazy fast to read from, but crazy slow to write to.

Why 3072 bits for the key instead of 4096? I understand that they see a huge amount of connections to their systems every second, but this isn't the year 2008. They have the processing power. Is it a decision based on "good enough

That business-centric and artificial way of "shedding skin" is sometimes the case. In my experience the move to a new software piece just to get a reason to drop previous licenses - e.g. "BigApp 2" - is thankfully still
