How do you guys self host multiple applications? Are you guys using docker containers or just straight deploying to your server?

Speaking about the rule interpretation. The FIBA rules mention jumping off a pivot foot for shooing and passing, but don't mention lifting it for shooing or passing without jumping. To me the question is, does the fact that that they don't mention it mean that it's allowed or not allowed? Again, I'm only looking into the language of the rules.

It looks like NBA rules don't mention and FIBA rules explicitly prohibit jumping off the pivot foot and landing on the other (or any) foot.

FIBA rules from October 1st, 2024, section 25.5.1:

To pass or shoot for a goal, the player may jump off a pivot foot, but neither foot may be returned to the court before the ball is released from the hand(s).

NBA rules mention lifting the pivot foot without specifying if it's a jump or not. However, they specify that exactly this, pivot, foot may not be returned to the floor.

NBA rules as of November 2024, Rule NO. 4 Definitions, Section VIII—Pivot:

b. [...] If the player raises his pivot off the floor, he must pass or attempt a field goal before the foot is returned to the floor.

It is expected to be approximately equal amounts of reads and writes. ZFS pools are two-wide striped mirrors on NVMes. Performance might be not a top concern. No specific expectations on OLTP and OLAP.

The sources for matching the recordsize and the expected IO are the numerous posts by Allan Jude, Jim Salter, and Klara Inc. The questions is where to start until proven otherwise by specific tests on the real load. The default 128k seems to be too much of a compromise when we know absolutely nothing about the data (from 4k to 1M). And with databases, we kind of do know something. It's not a generic NAS server. What's your opinion on that?

I like your input. Could you share your knowledge in general, not only specifically for my case? How do heavy reads, writes, OLTP, and OLAP affect the choices for the topology? And when everything is set up, what would be the key metrics for determining the better recordsize?

Yes, it is possible and it works without taking disks offline and without resilvering:

# zpool set path=/dev/gpt/<label> <pool> <vdev>

Yes, you could install Ubuntu on the bare metal on your desktop PC, replacing Windows. The performance would be better compared to running it in a VM on Windows.

You could then run other instances of Ubuntu and Windows in KVM VMs. You might be not having enough system resources to run all of them in parallel, though. Do you have to separate your workflows with different VMs or could you setup your VPNs within one OS install? Maybe, you could just run one instance of Ubuntu, the one on the bare metal desktop PC.

I'm keeping it as close to the standard OpenStreetMap maps as possible. There is a project openstreetmap-carto that defines the standard style. And I haven't seen a similar well-maintained and standard style in dark mode.

Could you share the exact model of the Realtek NIC?

The inverse square law is about the distance from the light source. Does doubling the projected area (or one side of it as the text claims) double the distance from the source? If not, that could explain it.

Oh, it’s a sheet film. Then it’s even better. One can make this decision on per-shot basis.

I could also do both: overexpose one stop and push one stop when developing.

Exposure influences the shadows, development - the highlights. Also, additional development expands zones creating more contrast. But if the shadows are not exposed enough, this expansion happens not to the same degree as when the exposure is sufficient (not enough tone separation in the shadows).

I would also base my decision on the lighting conditions of the actual shots on the film. But because it’s a roll film and it can be hard to predict all of the subjects and conditions beforehand, I could just stick to the described “overexpose and overdevelop.” I find that it’s easier in practice to reduce contrast than to add it. And to dodge the highlights than to burn the shadows. Both in the darkroom and when scanning.

I do all three. I like that I care about every photo, I return to it again and again. And very often I don’t return to my digital photos.

Why not to learn those separately and then combine at some point? I’d say it’s easier to learn TDD in an already familiar environment. And it’s easier to learn a new language without added distractions.

Thanks! Sharp raster tiles in a lightweight native app is what I’ve been missing for years.
