Curious about Ceph, what feature are you using it for? Would it make sense to serve big number of websites, stored on 20 servers, using single Ceph filesystem with some SSD cache? Or am I better off having just 20 independent servers?

Wow, does this mean NVIDIA consumer cards can now do multi-VM multiplexing of single GPU? On AMD side, only special cards like FirePro S7150 can do this. Does this work also on Xen? NVIDIA drivers were always non-functional with Xen+consume

I meant bash is slower than perl. Python is also slower than perl. Python is quicker than bash in number/string operations in process, but much slower than bash in startup. 'Quick parse phase' is exactly the reason; it is not

The discussion on problems associated with naive future people digging nuclear waste from hundreds of meters in the ground is not relevant for our current environmental and social problems. If you want to discuss our responsibility to peopl

Why not? Busybox is an example of how to pack diverse capabilities into one binary.

It is slow because the process of interpretation is slow (conditions, number and string operations) and because to achieve anything nontrivial in shell/bash, one _has_ to call external processes, which is slow. In Perl one calls extern

Indeed. Python does not win over bash in either category, and it is slower. I wish there was a super-fast shell-like scripting language everywhere that could serve as a general programming language. Like Perl, but simpler rules and readable

Notice "most" and "not in tsunami endangered areas". By safely I meant following standard practices, not in areas in risk of being crashed by tsunamis. I did not mean no disaster can happen. Nobody can guarantee that for

That would be interesting however it is an unsourced press release. No names, no links. Hm. Can you link the study itself? I can't find it.

Which non-ITER work is closer to power generation? Can you be specific?
615.
by effie 6y ago
By availability I meant fraction of time that it is available for power generation. This is closer to technical term "capacity factor", which is higher for nuclear energy than for PV energy, so my point stands. Modern nuclear plan

I meant in terms of number of deaths and significantly harmed people. Exclusion zone is a human concept for human inhabitation, it does not mean the zone is lost from the map of Ukraine. According to scientists that study the zone, for the

> very hard to do on a geological timescale. Yes, but geological timescale (millions of years) is an absurd straw man. We have no influence on what happens with anything on that timescale. Civilizations come and go in thousands of years.

How so? If a man gets vaccinated, he can still catch the virus and he can still transmit the virus. Vaccine helps the immune system to fight the infection, but does not stop the body from getting infected and we do not know how efficient it

by effie 6y ago
Fusion is not a real power plant technology and won't be at least for few decades, probably much longer.

No, that is a completely artificial academic problem.

Solar and wind could be long term solution if we get enough energy storage available - flywheels, gravity and electric batteries.
623.
by effie 6y ago
> nuclear waste is still an unsolved oroblem and a ticking timebomb. This is nonsense. Yes nuclear waste from power plants has its specifics, but we know what to do with it since 40's. There is no real problem with it.
624.
by effie 6y ago
It is not either solar/wind or nuclear, it is use both. Technology on worldwide scale isn't in decline.

by effie 6y ago
> ergo solar can power the world You forgot about clouds, nights and current lack of capability to store/transport energy to mitigate them. This can be solved but it is not trivial.

by effie 6y ago
Long distance transmission losses are pretty low. Most of energy losses happens in the "last mile" networks.
627.
by effie 6y ago
We know how to store the waste now and we can keep doing the same for hundred years. Why would it become a problem later? Is people IQ going to drop? It is a pure straw man to ask about what happens with waste monitoring in thousand years f

Yes, but is that an argument against nuclear energy in general or argument against building a nuclear plant in tsunami-endangered area?
