Working on a single-node job scheduler for Linux. Large HPC clusters use schedulers like SLURM or PBS to manage allocation of resources to users, but these systems are quite overkill when all you have is a single node shared by a few users.

I also use a it this way, but instead I do 90/30 (work/break) as 90 minutes gives me enough time to finish most exercises and tests without having to hurry. I do around 4 to 5 sessions per day which hits the sweet spot for me as I

I can tell you what I did, coming from a somewhat similar but different situation. I kind of over-promised for a small project, thinking that some electronics and little code could not possibly be too hard. After some time I realized that i

I guess I understand where you are coming from, but they way I understand it is that RH submits a bulk order for a stock and gets a quote from the MM, which the MM thinks is appropriate. The MM then adjusts its own portfolio accordingly, bu

I was wondering if someone could explain the countermeasures for such an event. Obviously, as the article states, producers are being shut off in the regions with surplus, while drains, who can afford to shut off, are shut off in the defici

> In that case it could be interesting to plan for future reinforcements, and continue to run the simulations as time passes and the situation evolves. While I agree that the idea is good, I imagine that at a point where you are planning

This is the question that has been going through my head after I wrote the parent comment. I have never been in such a situation (at least not one where the stakes were relevant), so take this with a grain of salt. Blaming under these kind

Yeah, exactly. The thing is, where do you draw the line of what is statistically so unlikely that you can deem it improbable? If we run multiple different climate models through some sort of Monte Carlo simulation, I suppose each model woul

How does this manifest in costs? Is it noticeable? And does rain rate mean the frequency of distinct rain events over hours/days or the intensity of a single rainfall? Just curious, maybe you can shed some light on this

While I agree with the gist of this, the ones to finally call the shots on such projects are always in a bad spot. They underprovision and an anomaly happens. Now they are the ones who did everything wrong and should be blamed. The overprov

In Germany, we have two different institutions: Universities (identical to US university I guess) and something called Fachhochschule (I don't know if there even is a correct translation for that, lets call it FH). University is focuse

This article surprised me since funding came from Softbank and not the state government as most does IIRC. Where I see the problem with all these forms of energy storage is that there is no one efficient approach (yet!) and innovation will

There are a bunch of other technologies as well. Huge flywheels [1], which are supposed to be used for very responsive power needs (i.e. grid stabilisation), trains loaded with weights which get pulled up a mountain and released [2], redox-

Do you think that it may be caused by use of comptime? I have not looked at the benchmark implementations, but that kind of struck me as a reason

Not such a big deal and something rather subjective: Due to Covid, my university started to upload recordings of all of my courses. This has been a godsend for me, as I did not attend lectures previously and now have the chance to watch the

Out of curiosity I just did what you described - to me it seems like machine learning and everything surrounding it is the only hot topic right now. Would you agree or did I just look at the wrong Github accounts?

While this is likely not low cost, the Anvil[0] seems to be a reusable intercept drone. I have yet to see it in action, but I could imagine it looks pretty cool. I heard that the company is pretty controversial, but I find their tech to be

At around 1:54:50, upon full landing thrust, the exhaust flames turn green. I know colored flames from chemistry classes, but I always assumed that was caused by certain salts. Rocket fuel, to my knowledge, does not contain any of those ing

This has been done in my last exam phase and has worked well. They cranked the AC to 11, which made it quite an unpleasant envirommemt, but I would rather wear a jacket than take online exams

That is, well..., rather bad. I imagine if this trend prevails in the future, we will see your plumber asking you if he can charge his transporter and deducting their charging cost from your invoice.

It is not only the analogy. I like to use Midi controllers which have hardware knobs mapped to software knobs for live performances. Sure, you could map a knob to a slider or anything really, but it makes the interaction easier

Calculus. The basics and ways of thinking stick quite well, but specific execution of some algorithms escape my head as soon as I don't use them anymore. I guess that's just the way learning at uni works though

Can someone explain the reasoning for using a HAMT here? I have played around with hashtables quite a bit, but altough HAMT's are cool and a lot more memory efficient, they are likely not faster and will at some point suffer from more

Disclaimer: I am a working student ("part-time" intern in Germany, more or less), should not make any difference though. Recurring meetings: This might be more personal preference, but I personally would go for scheduled meetings.

I totally agree with you there, I was arguing from the view of a bad actor, not necessarily a government. For a bad actor, the cost-reward looks pretty low (if we assume a high initial investment like a couple hundred million dollars to app
