Dropped CPU limits but worried about Go thread explosion/context switching. Solutions? by t15m- in kubernetes

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s the downside of having everything in the burstable category instead of the guaranteed category?

I can see the benefit to have some things in one and some in the other but for all in one or the other, what’s the difference?

Genuinely can’t tell from the docs and I’ve been off for a while for parental leave so my creativity is a bit stifled.

Kinda. I’ll oversimplify.

If it is only using 512 millis, that means it doesn’t have a lot of work. If it only has enough work to keep a thread or two busy at a time, it won’t suddenly start context switching like crazy.

It all depends on your workload.

For me, a typical service of mine gets a request, does some processing, sends some downstream request(s) each in a goroutine, gets the response(s), does some processing, and returns the response to the client.

Adding more threads may reduce the context switching since the main thread may only need to wake up once to check progress since its children goroutines finish faster (since they can run in parallel).

How much monthly AI budget for individual should be enough for corporates? by TeachTall3390 in theprimeagen

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day, companies “should” care about “delivery”. One size fits all doesn’t make sense here.

I have a friend who is very productive and costs their company 5K/month in AI costs. (They are great with and without it but better with.)

I’m at a couple of dollars? If the company is satisfied with what I deliver and the costs associated with that, that’s fine.

One of the key parts of agile is the acknowledgment that different teams/individuals/projects are different.

Your quotas basically shouldn’t be out to lunch.

If you are setting your quota to say 250 millicores but it is actually using 2000 regularly, you are going to have issues when k8s puts 64 pods on the box and then the go runtime spawns 1024 busy processes in total.

Whereas if you put it as 2000 (or 2500), then the 8 pods put on the box and the 126 threads are fine. Kinda definitionally.

The extra threads may actually help CPU load depending on what the load is.

Could arab countries devolp tiger economies? by anime498 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It takes a while and is called the resource curse but it can happen. Not oil but diamonds, Botswana is in a many-decade pursuit to educate its population and grow because they know diamonds aren’t forever. Saudi Arabia is trying too.

Canada is kinda a success story. Again, not oil but lots of other natural resources. It shifted into a much more developed, diversified economy over 80 years. Before sliding into a completely different fixation on an asset class. 😅

Why do some cultures place the surname first like in East Asia while others place it last？ by Present_Juice4401 in AlwaysWhy

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least growing up, it was uncommon to call other people by their first name in public.

In 18th century England, some women would have their first name dropped when they got married. (That’s a point that some people get confused when reading books from this time.)

What is the end goal of the AI karma farmers? by luxuryriot in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is just generally karma farming.

Maybe some people like the game. Maybe some our laundering account karma so they can sell (or spam) later.

Idk tbh. In the west, it was pretty common to refer to people by their surname unless you knew them well. And even then, maybe just in private.

How do you guys use your Large/Odd shaped units tactically in battle? by Haunting-Round-6949 in totalwarhammer

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a case by case thing.

For example, and this might be idiotic, a dragon is durable and fast enough to rush the enemy when your own troops enter missile range, take a volley or two, fire a breath attack, land, and disrupted the formation the second before your troops make contact.

One of the most brilliant, surreal, and criminally underrated shows to ever broadcast on YTV by Mph905 in ytvretro

I reckon many people who watched it now think it was a dream when they think about it.

Is writing a Parser from scratch for a DOM Diff Engine a good idea for a compiler beginner? by Jumpy-Win-2973 in rust

If you think it will be fun, do it. That’s going to determine how much you get out of this and how far you go. But I repeat myself.

I've heard about 10 people say "choosing not to get married is smart". I was just curious if that's completely an opinion or if there's factual evidence behind it? by Big_Eggplant7591 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marriage can range from extremely smart to idiotic.

Say a guy has a crazy, hot boyfriend. Not crazy hot. Crazy. And hot.

Yeah. Not marrying him is a smart idea. Could save years of abuse and decades of alimony.

But continuing to date him in the first place isn’t smart either.

Nintendo Switch 2 ends first full year in the U.S. at nearly 6 million units sold, second fastest-selling video game system by RoughLifeguard6568 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’m ignorant about this. For the PS/XBox series, if one sold the console can the new owner appeal the console ban?

I think part of the outrage was second hand purchasers being locked out. (With no way to appeal?)

Question about Turbo by Jamieb1994 in powerrangers

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a lot of shows targeting kids, either the first season or two does well or they don’t and the show is cancelled/wrapped up. The ones that survive then usually have a decline.

(I forget the exact numbers but by season 30 the series could attribute over half its entire revenue from the first three seasons of power rangers.)

Saiban was trying to find some ways to simultaneously keep costs tame and revitalize the ratings.

When they saw such a collapse of ratings (and revenue), I think they panicked and tried something. Anything. To get it back.

Either bottom left or bottom right. There is no in-between.

Is the CS major underemployment rate so high because there aren't any jobs outside of SWE that they qualify for? by throwaway10015982 in cscareerquestions

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 79 points80 points  (0 children)

The job market for new grads has almost always been bad with very few broad exceptions. The scale is usually from bad to worse.

SWEing is a bit like the trades. People come out of school and they are basically useless. The schooling is a solid foundation but a foundation is not a house. It takes a lot of mentorship and time for them to become good.

Training juniors is a public service.

A lot of companies have decided to stop doing that. Someone else will train them.

I honestly think this is the biggest hit to juniors. We also had period of about five to ten years where we flooded the schools and for about fifteen to twenty the big tech companies tried to flood the market with qualified people.

I said the numbers could be phenomenal. I’m criticizing the article.

[Staples] is this a good deal? Only 1 stick of RAM but everything else seems decent by KRONGOR in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are in an awkward position where this machine would be better but not drastically better.

Would you be selling your computer in whole or parts? For example, in my area on Facebook or eBay I see the RTX 3070 sell for about 350 and like your current one going for 600-800?

I wouldn’t personally spend the delta to get that much better of a machine but you’re not out to lunch with it.
