Mine is sidereal… I always said side real. Then, I learned it was (roughly) Sid air heal.
Though I did use to say Copernicus as copper knickers too.
Murray!
Technically, it was a display made from E. Coli cells, not actually programming the microbes to run it themselves…
… but yes, Doom has been used in a computer where the display was E. Coli.
“Actively Commissioning” and “Subsidizing” are two different contexts. Your points are all accurate, but commissioning a movie means actually going out and saying, “we want this movie, and will pay/provide resources to it in order for it to get done”, versus “your doing a movie with military, we’ll provide resources in compensation for a meddlers credit”.

Well, now you’ve called it out, I’ve got to updeet it.
I was home taught in the UK. Have a real love for learning that’s kick-started me into a career in computing that I’ve kept going for over two decades. Can’t stop, won’t stop reading, learning and improving. The number of colleagues I’ve had who just want a TL;DR on a new tech, software, plugin or system is too many. It’s our job to understand it, so we can build something so that others don’t have to. If you don’t want to understand, you’re in the wrong job role.
No, that’s fair. Coffee at pressure is about 93 - 95°C… No idea for drip/french press/v60 etc. as I don’t use those For Aeropress, I’d wait until the kettle stopped making noise, that seemed to be a good balance without burning the oils.
Coffee isn’t a tea, as you don’t boil it. If you boil it, you burn the coffee! That’s an extraction - you can steep it, but it’s better if you just push the water through at high pressure (which will royally screw up a tea).
Ah, pedantry in pedantry. So - now for Lemmy to tell me what I’ve gotten wrong :-D
Challenger disaster
According to the man(8) page, it will avoid touching any blocks that have the chattr -f
flag set, which is XSR_XFLAGS_NODEFRAG… So I think if the docs are still accurate to the code, yes.
A lot of ifs in that assumption.
I understood that XFS automatically mounted SSD’s with XFS_XFLAG_NODEFRAG set? Is this not the case?
That’s because the drive was written to its limits; the defrag runs a TRIM command that safely releases and resets empty sectors. Random reads and sequential reads /on clean drives that are regularly TRIMmed/ are within random variance of each other.
Source: ran large scale data collection for a data centre when SSDs were relatively new to the company so focused a lot on it, plus lots of data from various sectors since.
I always remember that it’s eXtract Ze File, tar -xzf
… But I’ll be honest, I’ve not used it in years and years
“just just” - another ohnosecond moment.
Max and cheese has two ingredients. Good, quality cheese melted into fresh macaroni.
I challenge anyone to dislike that, with a good fresh salad (I like a chopped salad with a drizzle of oil and balsamic with a sprinkle of salt). The great thing is - there’s a cheese for everyone (except lactose intolerant, and what a shame for them) so this works on so many levels.
Fermi Estimation. Where you’re dealing with something so big, you’re just interested in the magnitude.

As true today as when it was first penned.
