We departed around 30-45 min late from Basel sbb (in Switzerland) in a night train that goes through Germany. They told us about the communication issues but what surprised me is that they told us that the Deutsch bahn replaced the locomoti

That's something I did for small medium size data analysis (300Gb of csv). The reported size was around 800gb with indexes iirc and it fitted on a 512gb SSD. It compresses the indexes pretty well but don't forget to turn off postg

You probably are compared to your baseline self (another comment goes more extensively on this subject) but maybe you have enough driving skills and common sense to minimize the risks somewhat.

Do you make SoMs for a reseller by any chance ? I'm looking at the newest versal chips from Xilinx/AMD for a new design and buying a SoM & designing our carrier board could fit the bill nicely. We're still very early in t

I don't often post here (I forgot to check the guidelines), should I have left the original title "(bcachefs) Trouble in the kernel" ? While the article that follows is well written, the original title feels very vague and cl

We only have the point of view of becachefs main developer here of course, but some things regarding some kernel developer and the CoC committee seem to be really concerning.

I had the chance to visit the new datacenter of my college and on the server exhaust side there is a radiator as tall as the rack with cold water in it. All the pipes are under the floor. IIRC they mainly put power hungry compute nodes for

The elections can be skewed with different kind of manipulation (social media, troll farms, electronic ballot hacks) and the popular candidate can still win. It's fair to assume Putin would try to influence the elections in trump'

There is also a third approach that is the best if you have a predictible base load with surges sometimes imo: hybrid cloud You basically run the base load in your own data center and the surges go to the cloud. My university is evaluating

Norway is far from being the only that has oil but to me it seems it has / had the best management of this resource. From what I understand the money doesn't go to a few people / companies but a good part is used to prop up t

I helped someone that had to use taichi code written by a PhD student and it was a bit weird. It looks a lot like python but you have to code like you would in cuda (e.g control flow), there is no magic. For this we had to calculate forces

You can inflict extreme pain on someone by just talking without raising a finger nor your voice. Especially if this person cares about you. It can be voluntary or not but dismissing it like that seems strange to me. It's not because it

If you don't mind french, the project of this class that introduces OO programming was really great: https://cs108.epfl.ch/archive/18/archive.html It guides you through making a Gameboy emulator step by step.

I think it's a similar situation as if you only have a hammer everything looks like a nail. You can probably find a solution with what you already now (as a junior programmer) as most problems programmers have to solve are not that har

I've had the misfortune of participating in a large-isch LabVIEW project and it looks similar. Vcs integration and merge were also a big pain so most of the development was done on a single computer in the lab by many people. The hardw

I think the main advantage of LabVIEW is not the language but the hardware it runs on. While it is ungodly expensive it's very reliable in a wide range of temperature & vibration. I used LabVIEW to code the control / data logg

The zfsonlinux developers complained a while ago that some API they were using became GPL only and I think they had to write a wrapper in GPL to get around it. I'm on mobile so I can't give you more details but you can probably fi
