Dunno. Wouldn't that delete the entire directory?
Yep! So you follow up with an appropriate mkdir, right?

Because Join.me is SO much more difficult and less secure.

I'm not deleting a directory belonging to IIS on a production server. Not without the level of research that frankly wasn't worth the benefits.

In SQL? Null compared or operated on by anything else is null. That's why "IS NULL" is special syntax, and you can't use "= NULL" instead.
It's about the only sensible thing about SQL's design.

Status: The idea of a very simple pH-Meter seems to work - basically it's a TL082 op amp wired to a 18 V power source and a BNC connector which hooks up the pH-Probe. I won't get a resolution of 0.01 pH but that's not a problem.
Next step: Hook up the Arduino Nanos (from my other idea which didn't pan out) to measure the resulting voltage (+/- 1 V, so not a problem), do some sampling to get rid of the jittery voltage values and present a somewhat more stable value on a LCD screen. Two simple dip switches then should be able to use the voltages measured in a reference pH 7 and pH 4 solution to calibrate the thing.
If that actually works I then have a working pH-meter for ~7 € (sans probe). Which I could later on hook up to a PC if I wanted.
-
Then you can KICK THE ASS out of that fish tank. "Oh yeah, guppies? I got your fucking pH EXACTLY, MOTHERFUCKERS! Don't sit there blowing bubbles, look impressed."

It's actually more for Chemistry lessons. Y'know, acid-base reactions and such.

Oh right; I forgot for a moment that they don't have "humor" in Germany.
-
Oh, that was humor?
Doesn't that require something in what you said to be, like, actually funny?
-
Well, you see, over here, we've democratized humor, so that we take from the 1% who have the ability to make funny jokes and ensure that everyone is able to have the humor they deserve, even if they can't put in the effort necessary to say something funny.

See, Blakey? That's how it works!

Building site seems to be having trouble with their rock mincer. The belts are whirring away and the hopper's full of rocks but nothing's going through. One of the diggers is trying to break up the jam.
Hope they're being careful!

Probably that. They're both types of low-grade cloth.

SELECT INTO UNION
syntax is weirdThen how about:
SELECT item INTO #Items FROM ( SELECT 'Item0' AS Item UNION ALL SELECT 'Item1' AS Item UNION ALL SELECT 'Item2' AS Item UNION ALL SELECT 'Item3' AS Item UNION ALL SELECT 'Item4' AS Item UNION ALL SELECT 'Item5' AS Item UNION ALL SELECT 'Item6' AS Item UNION ALL SELECT 'Item7' AS Item UNION ALL SELECT 'Item8' AS Item UNION ALL SELECT 'Item9' AS Item; )

That's the exact point! I didn't steal it, but I'm being treated like I did.

Actually, not knowing whatever DBMS this was for at all, but could you further shorten it to:
SELECT item INTO #Items FROM ( SELECT NULL AS Item WHERE 1=0 UNION ALL SELECT 'Item1' UNION ALL SELECT 'Item2' UNION ALL SELECT 'Item3' UNION ALL SELECT 'Item4' UNION ALL SELECT 'Item5' UNION ALL SELECT 'Item6' UNION ALL SELECT 'Item7' UNION ALL SELECT 'Item8' UNION ALL SELECT 'Item9' )

Status: So apparently MongoDB by default uses the higher of these two numbers:
- 1 gigabyte of RAM
- 60% of the system's total RAM minus 1 gigabyte
What does it use it for? Filesystem cache. Not the data. Just the compressed files that it reads from the filesystem.
But at least it's configurable, right? It's not like I have to use up more than half of my 3.2GB development machine's RAM with the two MongoDB instances I'm running, right?
Turns out the only way to change that number is to set it on the command line to an integer number of gigabytes between 1 and 10000 (inclusive). This tells me three things about the universe where MongoDB is developed:
- Some database servers have more than 10 terabytes of physical RAM
- Operating systems can't be trusted to cache file data
- Filesystem space is more expensive than RAM
- There's no such thing as a computer without at least several gigabytes of RAM
But wait - there is a way to fix it. Just set the database storage engine to
mmapv1
. Turns out they deprecated their old storage engine that was much faster and used much less RAM because they wanted to use the company they bought (WildTiger) and could afford 10TB of RAM but not a few extra gigs of hard drive space.So now I have this:
CONTAINER CPU % MEM USAGE / LIMIT MEM % NET I/O BLOCK I/O tdwtf-mongo 0.26% 260.4 MB / 262.1 MB 99.34% 711.2 kB / 468.4 kB 151.6 kB / 283 MB tdwtf-nodebb 0.01% 413 MB / 3.116 GB 13.25% 3.103 MB / 2.422 MB 8.671 MB / 2.159 MB tdwtf-socat 0.00% 389.1 kB / 3.116 GB 0.01% 685.3 kB / 64.15 kB 0 B / 0 B wtdwtf-mongo 0.35% 783.1 MB / 786.4 MB 99.57% 562.9 MB / 489.9 MB 49.15 kB / 1.644 GB wtdwtf-nodebb 1.17% 524.2 MB / 524.3 MB 99.99% 556.6 MB / 570.4 MB 1.071 GB / 1.201 GB wtdwtf-postgres 0.00% 204.8 kB / 262.1 MB 0.08% 15.89 MB / 2.867 GB 51.6 GB / 192.8 MB
And because
mmapv1
uses mmap, the OS can unload MongoDB's RAM without needing to swap - it's a copy of a file that lives in memory, so as long as it's up to date, it can be unloaded.No sign of MongoDB being anywhere near as efficient as postgres, but whatever. It's not like anyone would ever need a database that holds multiple gigabytes of data.

That's the exact point! I didn't steal it, but I'm being treated like I did.
Your encouraging them NOT to put in a "plz pay" notice. Your giving harbor to the thieves, so effectively stealing money right from the Rifftrax people because it inconveniences you. Breaking that social contract makes you literally worse than ten Adblocking Hitlers.
I'm not always sitting at the computer when it happens. Rifftrax are frequently "background watching", stuff I put on while cooking dinner or sweeping my house or folding laundry or what-not.
So you're complaining about audio you're only half-listening to in the background, and a cartoon video you aren't even watching?
You don't have to agree with me, I'm just telling you how I feel and why I buy fewer Rifftrax films now.
And lots of people give them money because of the notice. So now you're the whining minority who doesn't matter.

Accidentally put the whipping cream in the coldest part of the fridge, and froze it. Thawed it out, but it's still very ice-crystally. Doesn't make good whipped cream.
But it does whip up perfectly into butter. Fresh, home-made butter on toast. Paired with a glass of fresh buttermilk.

I remember watching it at around the same time I remember there being something called One Saturday Morning, so I dunno. That's like half of them it could be.
