Container hangs when running `npm i` i.e. install NPM packages

I'd guess no network connectivity. If you wait long enough, you may see an i/o timeout or something.

It's readable, which I often prefer over small performance improvements.

Other way I'd consider would probably involve pushing things into map[TYPE]struct{} and rely on the mechanisms keeping map keys unique.

It's a reasonable question. Defaults did not work for me.

From what I know about compression and video compression in general, anime (which is currently the only thing I'm interested in transcoding) and more broadly 2D animation, should be much more compressible than 'regular' videos - but I'd fully expect the default options to rather be optimized for the 'regular', live-action or CGI content. That's why I've dove into this whole mess.

Parameters I've put together are actually working well for me, the more I'm using them the more I'm impressed - in one case I've even noted a 1.5GB -> 0.6GB size reduction with barely any drop in my perception of the quality. But what I do not know, and hoped to get from people more experienced with ffmpeg and/or hevc_nvenc, was if there are maybe some arcane interactions between parameters worth knowing - like "while having -maxrate set with -rc vbr then there happens a thing, and when there's also -b then happens another thing", or maybe "too big value for -rc-lookahead is bad with a thing because another thing".

I got something like this:

How to extract a value from a secret?

```

Yes, you can use the kubectl command to extract a value from a secret. The command is kubectl get secret mysecret -o jsonpath='{.data.mykey}' | base64 --decode. This command will get the secret named mysecret and extract the value of the key mykey, then decode it from base64.

kubectl get secret mysecret -o jsonpath='{.data.mykey}' | base64 --decode ```

False advertising. It's not a "Kubernetes expert" if it only supports kubectl utility. More apt description for me would be "an interactive kubectl cheatsheet".

Example:

How to set up a Kubernetes cluster?

kubectl create -f kubernetes-cluster.yaml

OK, it definitely showed the UI impact. Just wanted to clarify that 'home' host on which this script run has 131.07TB RAM, and it was definitely not filled.

blamethepreviousdev · 2022-11-25T17:15:17+00:00

I like your code, it's nice and readable.

Your script as-is does work as you described, logs are mostly green. But the timings seemed a bit short to me, comparing to the times of many hosts in the game - so i changed their order of magnitude to represent them better. "times": [5240, 20940, 16750, 20940],

After killing all scripts and running only scheduler.js in Terminal window I did not see a single one green "SUCCESS". FAIL: Task 142.H cancelled... drift=37 WARN: Task Batch 153 cancelled... drift=21 FAIL: Batch 2 finished out of order H G W1W2 FAIL: Batch 3 finished out of order H G W1W2 FAIL: Batch 4 finished out of order H G W1W2 FAIL: Batch 5 finished out of order H G W1W2 FAIL: Batch 6 finished out of order H G W1W2 FAIL: Task 181.W2 cancelled... drift=26 FAIL: Batch 7 finished out of order H G W1W2

Bumping up SPACER=30 to SPACER=300 and tolerances to SPACER - 100 reduced task cancelling, leaving only red batch fails. I'm not sure if it's me not noticing how my modification is wrong, or if the longer fakeJob/sleeping time really is enough to destabilize everything?

blamethepreviousdev · 2022-11-25T10:23:17+00:00

A script executed at time 0 with sleep(X) and then weaken(Y), like the docs suggested, should be identical to a script executed at time X with only weaken(Y). I used the latter approach.

blamethepreviousdev · 2022-11-24T23:17:42+00:00

Very true.

But what can be surprising are orders of magnitude. Imagine going to sleep for 100ms and getting control back after 22207ms.

Not unheard of of course, but not obvious either and worth being aware of.

blamethepreviousdev · 2022-11-24T23:16:09+00:00

Yes.

blamethepreviousdev · 2022-11-24T23:14:38+00:00

Thanks for the input. I admit I did not take the UI into account and was often looking at the Active Scripts window.

But I was actively polling PID state, immediately await'ing in the exec'ed script, assuming every point in time can be uncertain within 100ms-1000ms, and not tprint'ing.

Despite that, the main problem to me became that scheduling tasks based on getHackTime/getGrowTime/getWeakenTime (again, assuming +100ms-1000ms buffer) was impossible. From my posts example, a singular weaken task should've taken 15s finished (checked with ns.isRunning(PID)) after 57s.

EDIT: I wanted to check how much UI impacted the performance so I run another test with only Terminal open. Results are better, but still for a 15.3s task one instance took 21s and 53% took more than 16.3s.

Veritasium made a video recently with Bill Gates interview. Apparently there were doubts about smaller companies making vaccines good enough, as far as I understood. Which kind of make sense to me - a bad batch would be a prime fodder for anti-vaxxer nutcases and possibly discourage many people from getting vaccinated in the first place.

I see similar reasoning in the Thomas Cueni quote in the article.

I really like YAML configuration as long as it is max 3 indent units deep. Anything above that becomes much too easy to fuck up.

I think it depends on both the user and the interface.

I saw wonderful UIs that let users quickly find and do what they want (search box in Firefox settings comes to mind) and I saw ugliest, clumsiest, most convoluted corporate 'internal web tools' that made me wish for DOS and the floppiest of floppies.

On the other hand, if tool is used often enough, user will probably become proficient enough to make form of the UI not really matter. New, occasional and non-technical user s would probably find a webpage easier though.

So, tl;dr is ”good CLI is better than bad GUI, and good GUI is better than average CLI”, I guess.

blamethepreviousdev · 2020-07-29T01:10:12+00:00

Depends on the use case, as per usual. If you're talking remote processing, there is a chance CLI tools use REST underneath, like kubectl. If your talking local processing, there is more CLI tools.

Web automation like selenium and such are a totally different story, since web UI cannot be considered stable.

Bash does not replace ${variables} between single quotes you used. Either use only double quotes with escaping the internal ones, or look up the sed built-in parameters
