This is not their worst failure with image, I remember someone (not sure if @pjh or @ben_lubar) saying something about Discourse and increasing the size of uploaded images IIRC

Well, I had to make sure my avatar wasn't completely greyscale or it would come out 99% black.

so, google thinks this forum is trying to scam me.
I saw this post but couldn't figure out what you were getting at. Then I saw @aliceif's post and the penny dropped

Status: The Win10 update madness is spreading! My Kindle just auto-updated and auto-rebooted while I was reading something!
(Thankfully it only took about 10 seconds instead of six hours, so it wasn't that bad.)

And now your kindle is running windows 10.

But everybody tells me the CLI is the "efficient" way to get work done! It's so efficient! Why, it maxes out my PC at a full 20th of its capability!
If you ran 20 copies at once, you'd max out all your PC's capability or something.

I respectfully disagree; I believe the fastest program is the one you only have to run once.

Mine did too. But thankfully it did it when I wasn't looking (or reading).

I am a huge fan of the Tony Stark/IronMan character. You would have to try hard to stump me on that one.
-
He is the only actor doing a super-hero that I know by name without thinking much.
-
Correction, I just remembered that Tony Stark is not Robert Downey Jr's name. He should change his name to Tony Stark IMO.

He should change his name to Tony Stark IMO.
Maybe you could get TL3 in his life and repeatedly change it for him?
-
I know I will get bullshit called on this one, but I have had a few people compare me to the Tony Stark character. My wife was the first one to make the comparison, due to my quick witty replies and dry sarcasm.
Now...if I only had that much money and an Audi R8.

A number that's labeled "number of processors" when the number itself is the number of cores.
No, it's a number that's "How often does the word
processor
occur in the pseudo-file/proc/cpuinfo
". That file being a compromise between machine-parseable and human-readable, and hence utterly crappy for both.Example from my NAS; this whole block is repeated almost-identically 4 times:
processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 28 model name : Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D525 @ 1.80GHz stepping : 10 microcode : 0x107 cpu MHz : 1794.377 cache size : 512 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 4 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant _tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl tm 2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm movbe lahf_lm dtherm bogomips : 3588.75 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management:
The word processor there may date from before multi-core chips, and they can't change it because of people writing stupid code.

Why doesn't the "pat" flag get to hang out with the others? Is it diseased?
-
There's like 4 lines of flags and putty is crap at copy/paste. The original display has a newline after
cmov
.EDIT: actually, the whitespace is probably because I resized the terminal window between requesting the cpuinfo and doing the copy/paste. As noted, whatever putty uses for terminal emulator is crap compared to the gnome-terminal I usually work with.
-
I was using Ubuntu and gnome-terminal too, but then my computer auto-updated and now I have windows 10

It feels like they rolled their own. Probably it doesn't do playback very well when resizing the window?

Your still wrong.
It would certainly be wrong if he used lead solder to assemble the tubing. And you have to watch the temperature and discard the stuff that condenses before the temperature stabilizes, so you get ethanol and water, not methanol or whatever it is you get at the end of the process after the ethanol has evaporated.
I don't drink, much less make my own liquor, so that's all second- or third-hand knowledge.

No, it's a number that's "How often does the word processor occur in the pseudo-file /proc/cpuinfo".
?
Let's just say, if anyone pulled anything remotely similar in production code, he'd land on the front page. I mean honestly, is that how it works? By parsing the human-readable output and pulling the word "processor" out of it? What if Intel releases a, let's say,
Intel(R) SuperTurboProcessor3000(TM)
- does that get counted twice?I pray to fucking God this is just a layman's terms explanation of how this works and not how this actually works.
-
how this actually works
Nope. It's literally how it works.
grep
opens the file/proc/cpuinfo
, then takes a-c
ount how many timesprocessor
appears in it.

Status:
#I have a job!!!!!!1!1!!1!eleven!
Contractor, indirectly for a company you've all heard of, directly for a consulting/placement company you haven't. Initial term of 3 months because fiscal year, very likely to be extended for up to 18 months. In Silicon Valley. The nice thing about the initial 3 month term is it's "temporary" — I don't know that they're going to extend it — so I can claim per diem for at least three months — maybe more, depending on whether they extend it for the entire next fiscal year in one go, or dribble out extensions a few months at a time.
I also have a phone interview with another company tomorrow. On the advice of the recruiter for the other consulting company, I'm still going to do the interview, because nothing is 100% certain until I'm actually sitting in the building working. (Insert anecdote of defense contractor who was required to assemble a team in order to bid on a contract, then didn't win the contract, so nobody on the team ever actually started working for them.)
Edit: Clarification — the "other" consulting company is the one I just accepted the job with, as opposed to the one handling the job I'm interviewing for tomorrow.
-
What if Intel releases a, let's say, Intel(R) SuperTurboProcessor3000(TM) - does that get counted twice?
Potentially:
processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 26 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU W3550 @ 3.07GHz
Although that grep is case sensitive, so it wouldn't match
SuperTurboProcessor
. If it were an issue, one could add a more sophisticated regex to eliminate false matches.
