Modern LTO drives are so much faster than HDDs when it comes to sequential reads and writes. :O




People who frequently RT posts here are the algorithm. :P

"Parked at Stetattle Creek Bridge"


I had the idea in my head that the Colonial Creek Campground was this way, so I headed down Diablo Street. While it provided some good photos, I felt a bit dumb and added the campground as a stop along my route.

This was originally a railroad bridge.

Side-by-sides and UTVs are just Power Wheels for adults. :P


Has anyone here ever played around with using #Netlink for IPC between userspace processes? #Linux

Do you think there would be some benefit over using Unix domain sockets?

@sun that would just be silly, everyone knows the Ministry of Truth is completely truthful


If they can afford such bloated luxury vehicles, they can afford the congestion charge. >:(

Maybe the charge should be based on vehicle size/weight, so that those with smaller and cheaper cars are hit less. That should make it more equitable. (I don't know if it's already set up that way. :P)

Kind of reminds me of how people who buy giant trucks and SUVs constantly complain about gas prices.

USAsians will do anything but implement efficient mass transit (without spying).




Had quite the time working on a personal project recently. It changed my life forever.

  • Learned the hard way that the (default on most POSIX) fork context is bad news.
  • Wrote a Unix domain datagram based log infrastructure.
  • Wrote an algorithm that operates kind of like concurrent.futures.as_completed(), except it has a priority queue and doesn't eagerly load the list of futures.
  • Discovered that it's possible to overload concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor with futures, preventing any actual background processing after a point.
  • Got TONS of practice optimizing stuff for large datasets.
  • Learned that taking breaks is important for reasons than most people are aware of.
  • My life was permanently altered by this project. I basically nerd-sniped myself.

#Python #programming


Never, ever, use the fork context in multiprocessing. :blobfoxsweating: POSIX OSes (aside from macOS) have that as the default. :blobfoxangrylaugh: Always use the spawn context! :blobfoxdead:

Of course, unless you have an extreme edge case. :blobfoxgoogly: (Yes, the names are funny. :blobfoxgooglytrash: )

This whole mess got me thinking seriously about learning #Kotlin, since it would eliminate needing to use IPC to make use of multiple CPU cores. (Yes, I actually like the #JVM, but don’t want to boilerplate myself to death with #Java. :P )

I’ll probably still look into learning Kotlin, but not for this project.









Looking at current western foreign policy writings, it's clear from their atiitude that the west is in full blown world-domination mode, openly talking about subjecting each and every country to its domination - and that with the same spirit of condescension that accompanied western missionaries to China in the 19th century resulting, in the Boxer Uprising and the wholesale slaughter of christian missionaries by the 13th Dalai Llama.
Then, as now, the west was trying to pry Tibet away from China, as part of its global balkanisation.

The modern versions of the Shanghai International Settlement are the special economic zones, followed by, as happened in China, the west claiming parts of such countries as spheres of influence.. there are even such plans for parts of Europe (trans-border economic zones). See also the ECSC

It's as if the 70 years between the 1919 war of intervention in Russia and Yeltsin;s coup was just an interruption - the imperial games can continue, this time as a cartel led by the USA and includes that mostrosity, the "personal union" of the House Of Windsor consisting of the second largest country in the world, a whole continent and lots of crown territories (Cyprus, Gibraltar .. the list is long). (the crown owns the sea bed around the British Isles).. and the broken EU - the UK's ambition of a manageable continent completed - Balance of Power.

And there's still Africa..

What if part of the push for #LLMs ('AI') is sort of a 'gateway drug" for getting people into programming? It teaches how to format queries, albeit using human language instead of special syntaxes. 🤔

"Pend Oreille County Fairground"


The fairgrounds weren't active, but the only restroom for us to use was there. I explored it a bit before leaving.

Fiat currency is fake, though, so does it really mean anything? :P
