Reminds me how Sports Tracker (and really most apps) got wonky every time my phone battery got below 15% and got into aggressive power savings (and no amount of convincing would convince Android to fuck off). Kinda smells like something sim

>The old SAS Survival Handbook (by John Wiseman) contains the advice that if you feel any “tingle” in a thunderstorm, get on the ground, preferably hitting the ground with your hands/arms first. I wonder how much it’s based on anyth

Tradition was a mean to preserve knowledge over decades, I don't think it's relevant now where we can actually do that directly and also attach the research about whether it works, how it works, and how to employ a given technique

We had 2 in our office closet datacenter and they definitely needed more maintenance than what I remember our coal burning furnace did

Pedantic and wrong, good fucking luck saturating whole SSD from single thread on anything else than pure benchmark code

"What do you mean we need some NVIDIA cards to run our job scheduler ?"

So, go to moon. No real need to go to another planet just to irradiate some astronauts and in case shit hits the fan they have chance of surviving

I mean, I get limiting it if you only need it rarely and multitool with some bits can get you thru a lot, but nothing ? I guess it is choosing to be useless at life on purpose...

That strategy assumes you're not a total moron and follow it unquestionably for everything

Do you remember numbers ? I'd guess somewhere in 0.5-1% THD range for simple single opamp servo ? I was kinda mildly interested into doing it for sensors altho just microprocessor blasting serial via optocoupler onto other side seems l

It does but it's always easier if you allocate/deallocate big blocks. Especially if you just put sub-block-size data on disk
257.
by xani_ 4y ago
At that point you might as well put a code interpreter in your scheduler that just gets current date and returns next data of event, because whole code to cover that would take more code than cron itself.

Shouldn't matter as long as you do direct IO for benchmarking

Someone did test exactly that: https://panthema.net/2019/0322-nvme-batched-block-access-spe... From my experience as long as you can do that access multithreaded you won't really be penalized for random reads. S

If you're writing on SATA SSD, yes. If you're writing on NVMe, well, there is a good chance that if you're not at the high end (big site, a lot of things to do), you can just ignore that as the IOPS will be "good enough&

Well, author threw a dice and won. Work Sony Vaio also worked perfectly. But seen quite a few people with other that had problems.

Config files are far preferable to some random database dug somewhere in registry of DE blob of stuff. Because you can make a simple program that just "does the right thing" for user then include it in distro
264.
by xani_ 4y ago
Well the distro push to use wayland isn't helping the case.

Did you put one of the diodes in the feedback loop to linearize them ?
266.
by xani_ 4y ago
Unironically diode-to-photoresistor optocouplers are used in some compressors and filters to get that soft analoguey sound (as they are plain slow to react to signal). Which is kinda a supply problem as material they were made with was bann

Sounds like fucked up install - why on earth it would get colder when it activates ?
