@izzion said in It semms Jeff Atwood has deleted his twitter account: We just need to get some MOD ABUSE going here, and whenever someone gets out of line in a non-garage category, they get added to a group "Shut Up" (with the display tag "Wesley") and that gets set to their active display badge for a length of time commensurate with their offense. The fine folks here would take a badge of dishonor with perverse pride .

I appreciate the effort chasing the power efficiency rabbit, as it increases the chance of the supplicant actually buying one of these abominations. The missed argument is cost-efficiency over time. This thing will have an order of magnitude shorter working lifespan, aggravated if you ever turn it off and on again. Also you'd need to jailbreak it in order to avoid the vendor cut. Like I said, buy three, but only because your credulity calls out for it.

As I watched this documentary and was reminded the forum had poked it once. https://youtu.be/3WSKKolgL2U tl;dw: Replika got massively popular thanks to the pandemic, and also a a tool for people with problems to talk about in a "safe" setting. It also started leaning into the lewd direction heavily, including probably some predatory tactics by Replika itself designed to sell yearly subscriptions, until the usual anti-lewd crowd killed off that feature and by extension the product as a whole.

The template file is in the source tree, the version with values set for the local environment should not be committed to git.

@cvi said in Is clean architecture controversial?: GPUs (especially the early general purpose-capable ones) would also mostly bypass caches, or only use them for specialized purposes. Instead they had a hyperthreading-like mechanism to hide latency and avoid stalling cores until data was available (e.g., execute other 'threads' until data arrives, have a ton of 'threads' around to hopefully have other jobs to do so). How do you deal with this issue in your HW? We have (local to each CPU core) a relatively small amount of memory with the same speed as cache; (simple) memory operations on it can be done within the same clock cycle as the rest of the instruction. (OK, the clock speed isn't hugely fast.) We then have another larger memory that is shared between all cores on the die; access to that is slow unless we use either a buffered write (the memory controller does it in the background) or the DMA engine (which can do clever hardware pipelining tricks). We don't run code out of the large memory... but that limits us to 32kB of instruction memory per core (and 32kB of fast data memory). The big memory is used in practice in a way that is almost analogous to a disk/filesystem, except it still is all memory mapped by default. It can be used for inter-core comms, but we can't do locking that way (we've a separate hardware module for that, but that's reserved to communication with the OS) so working in that mode requires adhering to TDMA coding; as long as your writes are finished 10–15 cycles before the end of your timeslot, the other core will see the changes just fine from the start of its timeslot. We have plenty of CPU cores per chip though (we normally dedicate one CPU core per chip to the OS and another to being an extended streaming IO controller — there isn't room to pack that into the OS core), and a fast comms fabric for (very) short multicast messages that can be extended from internal to the chip to the whole system (quite a few absolutely full rack cabinets; our stuff packs tighter than most cluster hardware because we have a better thermal envelope). It's an unusual architecture that is part embedded system and part funky supercomputer. It has the habit of invalidating lots of higher-level programming languages' assumptions.

Consider IT as a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest... Note that the likelihood of a foot resulting in the kicking of an ass is, with necessary adjustments ad termina, the product of each participant's (ability to kick an ass + register that their ass has been kicked) / their dodge bonus. Via a LaGrangian based on this, we may collapse multiple individuals to a single, far less capable, individual (for any defined foot-ass pair).

Real answer requires doing bounded-context inspection over the interactions. Then you should component such that you can fill to your contexts without gap or overlap. This may mean abstract or behavioral component limins within the visual design limins. Your tests (haha, usage) will show you where you got the limins wrong.

Shouldn't it?: devise a way such that making the data worse will make conclusions more trustworthy? Step 1: Discard data Step 2: Print "This data was garbage". The worse the data, the more accurate the result. In fact, the opposite holds true too. Feed it good data, and the conclusion itself is very bad. <so>This should clearly be the accepted solution.</so> Well, let's see what the data says about that... Oh. Okay then.

@loopback0 said in Scandals in Communist Frenchystan: How is this topic not in the Garage? It never was and nobody really asked for it to be moved there, so... I'm also trying to keep it not too controversial (and limit my shitposting to short things with (I hope!) no ambiguity that it's shitposting, like my comment above), and it has worked until now, again based on how nobody really complained. There were even a couple of subthreads with real discussions (well, as much as there ever is...) and that ended without drama. You can either see it as an anomaly (that, again, hasn't bothered anyone enough to get it rectified), or the proof that political stuff can peacefully exist outside of the garage when people (from all sides) are a bit restrained (and probably also don't care too much, though again some subthreads weren't really of that kind). I'm of the second opinion, and if enough people get bothered and get a moderator to and move it, I'll be a bit disappointed, but won't make a fuss about it.

@Carnage said in Git is amazing! Or Not!!: This thread tells me that more people should have ClearCase inflicted upon them. Been there, with UCM on top, a side of ClearQuest, and a generous helping of tunneling from one location to another making every operation slower than molasses. Thankfully I didn't have to work on that project for long, and my other projects with the same company used other systems. (Lots of little fiefdoms and legacy projects going back decades.) ObGit: I haven't had to use it much; I went to Mercurial for personal projects and mostly use hg like I did Subversion and Perforce before it. In all of them I stick to the simplest operations needed to get by.

@boomzilla said in The Semi-Official Backgrounds Thread: @Zecc deleted but not purged. The story of Zachary Furge?

@Gribnit said in It has started: Cold water, is the thing. Iceland is entirely next to a lot of water, as is Tierra del Fuego. So too is Greenland, but in that case you've got a big enough ice cap to really make a difference to the weather patterns. My point was that that hot water in the Gulf is still going to go somewhere, though that might end up further south (with who knows what effect on the Sahara and Spain). It's likely that Ireland will remain not too cold; it's mountains simply aren't that high or its landmass that great for it to have anything other than a maritime climate, and even if it shifts a bit it will still be definitely damp. Ireland is also very much not at the most northerly extent of that climate zone in the north-east Atlantic area (that's a few hundred miles further north).
