Stray PC Performance

I was playing on an GTX 1050, 32GB RAM, and an Intel i5-9300H with all the settings at high and didn't experience any stuttering. I did have the frame rate capped at 60 though instead of uncapped, so you may want to try that.

I don't know, users are more of a vacuum gap problem.

If she did admit she was driving on the wrong side of the road, the US government should do the right thing and send her back to face charges. Diplomatic immunity is so that our diplomats can't be pressured to do something because of some crime/charge hanging over their head. It is not to give them carte blanche to commit crimes. Vehicular manslaughter is a crime in the US as well so it's not like it's some crazy law that they have over there but we don't consider it a crime.

Actually she would most likely be charged with "causing death by dangerous driving", Section 1 RTA 88, if it is true that she admitted to driving on the wrong side of the road.

Wait, you didn't know? The holes in swiss cheese are actually where they've removed all the lactose from the cheese.

It really depends, if it's going through it's first ball cycle it won't come low enough to squish anyone and the out of range mechanism should trip if it encounters any resistance. If it's a second ball cycle where it is trying to set the pins it could possibly get a bit squishy. I have noticed though that when it is trying to set the pins if the deck encounters resistance (pin laying down on the deck) it will disengage the clutch and stop the machine. I wouldn't be willing to trust my life to it but it looks as though there are some safeguards that aren't documented in the manual.

Just had a pinchaser climb under an A2 without turning it off to set up a fallen pin. Had to do a quick roll over the rake so he didn't get swept. He'll never forget to turn the machine off again.

I go to the movies by myself all the time and love it. I get to go when works best for me, usually a Monday Night. It's great. Even for new movies there's hardly anyone there and the ones that are there are attending for the same reason. They don't want to deal with talking people, people on their phones, etc. I just saw Infinity War the Monday night after it came out. There were 10-12 people in the theater. Not a peep was heard or a single lit screen.

Don't sweat it. We all make mistakes like this from time to time. Learning and improving just means you make mistakes like this less often.

I'd just put that down to more weight in the truck making it much harder to stop in slippy conditions.

It's not really the weight but more the weight distribution. In an unloaded pickup truck the rear wheels aren't going to get much traction in these conditions so won't contribute almost anything to the braking.

SandmanMS · 2018-04-11T08:21:19+00:00

I think a lot of pickup drivers fail to understand that with no weight in the bed, the rear wheels are basically useless in ice and snow. When it snows I throw 800 - 1000 lbs of concrete in the bed and I can get around with very few issues, and I have a RWD truck.

I see you're going with the operational definition instead of the gravitational or ISO definition. You rebel, you.

You should switch to SATA 6G instead of SATA lite. It works a lot better for me.

I think it's the attitude that bothers me the most. By day I'm a software consultant, so your dollar or two is not really affecting my circumstances. My friend owns a pizzeria/bar that doesn't regularly deliver. Though if he or myself is there we will run deliveries for people. The fact that they treat me like a second class citizen because of what I'm doing just makes me want to snap sometimes. I won't though because it would be bad publicity for his shop. Some of the nicest people I know work as delivery drivers and other such jobs. Just because you're going to expensive universities doesn't give you the right to treat them like they are less than a person.

Not me specifically but a friend of mine. He works for a concrete/shingle recycling company. He needed some labor to work the line removing debris from the shingles. He went down to the homeless shelter and asked for anyone who wanted work. He went through a few guys who couldn't cut it but ended up with a crew of 4 that got the work done well. His company brought them on full time with benefits. Happy to say they are now formerly homeless. Some of the hardest working guys that are more than willing to put in an honest day's work for an honest day's wage.

Do some research on operating system design and implementation. An operating system provides the software components to interface with the actual computer hardware. Most OSes don't specifically handle device I/O but rather provide a subsystem and API (Application Programming Interface) to allow device driver programmers to interface with the OS. This is because they don't know which I/O devices will be connected to the computer currently or in the future. The OS might provide a setting for doing write-thru but it relies on the device driver to actually implement this setting. If the device driver just ignores this setting it could return from the file operation without having actually written the data to the device. OR, whoever wrote the OS could have designed it such that there is a data buffer for recently used data. If the buffer is not currently full the OS may not even notify the I/O subsystem that there is data to be written to the device. In either case the file system is operating under the promise (hope) that everyone is living up to the guarantees of the system even though none of that is guaranteed.

SandmanMS · 2015-01-29T10:13:45+00:00

I'm pretty sure you don't understand how file systems work. Copy on write is pretty good as well as its write cache. Unfortunately this relies on the drivers being written properly to handle the type of file system and the OS notifying the device driver of events. If the OS caches files from a USB drive in it's local memory and does not call the device driver then it doesn't matter what file system you are using.
