I must say I was immensely entertained by reading "IBM stepped up with buildfarm animals". :)

The 1k packets you saw probably correspond to the default block size being used for the DB, that is a vestige of using spinning disks. That you were using NFS or any kind of networked filesystem is what I'd say is a performance hostile

Imagine an OS specific bug that could lead to failure. Now imagine you're using that single OS everywhere.

In my experience RHEL has been better at backporting patches and maintaining a relatively stable kernel. This means that third-party software that targeted it is more likely to work over time. Canonical by comparison is absolutely terribl

Interesting point about raw Li-ion cells - sounds like the result of the exploding hoverboard fiasco years ago(?). Another unfortunate "feature" was that the device refused to be powered with it's own USB cable. It felt to m

Not long ago the battery on my Dymo 280 died and was pretty surprised to find that the cost of replacing it (~$30) was about the same as I paid for the product. The battery consists of two small 14430 cells in a plastic package that isn&#

This is generally my sentiment as well. The reason to avoid using goto is if it makes following the flow of execution for us humans difficult, which typically happens when jumping backwards. Using goto judiciously to more easily escape a d

Does it replicate the same kind of "evil" bugs as in the article, or does it provide an improvement?

This is also my thinking, and doesn't seem too implausible given that the dosage is so much higher than Pfizer (100mcg vs 30mcg). My relatives who got Moderna had similar reports to some of the posters above. I got Pfizer and barely n

ICC like many commercial compilers used the EDG front-end, not their own.

Your last point about career development is an interesting one that comes up. If you are remote but your co-workers are interacting in person I can see how there would be an informational advantage in favor of your co-workers that is unavoi

Atlassian does not provide particularly good guidance on how to get their tools to perform well. The first big issue for any moderately busy system is that you need to dedicate huge gobs of heap memory (think 16G+) to the tool. After that

Yup. If you look at the end of the 'changes' link[1] you'll see individual bugzilla links for issues (or PRs as they call them) that were resolved in a given point release. [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-9/

Of the CI tools I've used (most of them) TeamCity was my personal favorite--but the advantage of Jenkins is that it's very widely used, has a greater breadth of capabilities due to the huge plethora of plugins, and a huge amount o

As far as I can tell they all work (N=1 and all that), so I'd say that whatever you find easier to actually do is what you should do - just keep it up as often as you can over time. If you wanna get a little geeky about it like I was,

Nowadays I mostly just do OMAD (one-meal-a-day) or close to it (eating window is about 1-3 hours) as it's simpler. Initially some will power was needed to stop myself from snacking in the evenings, but as long as I make sure I have a f

About 3 years ago (late 2015 now) I was quite overweight, had a knee injury that limited my mobility (stairs mostly) and had a fasting glucose and post-meal readings that indicated I was nearly pre-diabetic (T2). So, I cut out out all sugar

If there are no children involved, none of the current onerous obligations and financial ruin should apply. The government should not be able to intervene and ruin one persons life by making one party an economic slave to the other. The gov

At my university it was the same, but this (second) class has become an optional elective that is cross-listed with the Computer Engineering major and no longer required. So, most CS majors no longer take it. The curriculum has "dr

This is the problem I have as well. It doesn't matter how fancy they are if they don't fit in your ears. For this reason, I can only wear ear clip headphones, not ear buds.

Probably because the FSF doesn't own the copyright for it. Without the copyright, you can't do fun things like forcing everyone to upgrade to the GPL3.
