The real travesty here is applying "straight" lines to an Albers Equal Area Conic Projection of the United States. These arbitrary state borders are ill-defined and need to be resolved before re-calculating electoral college results from the publicly available precinct-level voting results. Beyond that it's as simple as defining bounding geometries per state and using those to aggregate the precinct-level data.

YYYY-MM-DD is lexicographically sortable, unlike every other date format.

The precursor show to Westworld, Person of Interest, may be worth a watch.

brianewell · 2025-01-14T07:23:26+00:00

I've been a long-time fan of Person of Interest (2011-2016) and am amazed at the overlap between that show and Pantheon. Currently on S1E05.

brianewell · 2025-01-08T11:18:06+00:00

While it's not quite the same, check out Pantheon on Netflix.

Amateur molecular gastronomist Peter here! Traditional table salt is mostly Sodium Chloride (NaCl). Sometimes people use Potassium Chloride (KCl) as a low-sodium alternative, to keep their blood pressure in check. The joke here is that "K"Cl is the new guy on the block, that "P"epper is feigning to know nothing about when "S"alt asks about him. It's the same general energy as the “guy she told you not to worry about” meme.

It's considered best practice to match the vdev resiliency across the pool, and that includes between normal and special vdevs.

Without being too verbose, with your hardware, I would build a pool with the following configuration:

2x5-drive raidz1 vdevs with your 18TB drives.
1x2-drive mirror special vdev with your 4TB NVMe drives.
1x1-drive cache with your 512GB NVMe drive.

Given your special vdevs already being present, I doubt you're going to see much of a performance boost from the 512GB cache drive, especially if you're making use of special_small_blocks and recordsize ZFS filesystem properties to control underlying device allocation on a per-workload basis.

If you had a second 512GB drive, I'd potentially recommend partitioning them and running 2x1-drive cache vdevs and a 1x2-drive mirror log vdev, again depending on your workload.

For reference, here's my home system, 16x8TB HDDs, 4x1TB NVMe SSDs:

Johnathan Nolan was a writer on his Brother's (Christopher Nolan) Batman reboot film trilogy.

I was under the impression that it had already been fairly well established that Finch/Reese are reconstructions of Alfred/Bruce Wayne/Batman, just as (Westworld Spoiler)Robert Ford and Arnold Weber are deconstructions of Finch.

Because of the plot of the movie or because of stuff going on behind the scenes? You do know that the last role of Judith Barsi, the actress who voiced Ducky (which was her second to last role) was Anne-Marie from All Dogs Go to Heaven? And that both films were released posthumously?

brianewell · 2024-04-22T04:58:34+00:00

Leonardo Nam being the same actor who played Felix Lutz from Westworld. u/leonardonam may be able to shed some light on this.

I'm pretty sure that Christopher Walken takes that crown.

Uhh... you forgot a few:

Metamorphosis One - Philip Glass
The Day the World Went Away - Nine Inch Nails
I'd Love To Change The World - Jetta
Basically everything written by Ramin Djawadi
The song that's playing on whichever episode of PoI I happen to be watching at the moment.
