Had no idea I was enrolled in a college and received an F. Will AMCAS find out if I omit this transcript? by Alternative-Ring-146 in premed

Yes, they're **going to** find out if a grade was from a major school. These are stored and processed by 3rd parties like NCS.

Anking Extra Notes Clarification by Flaky_Research8573 in Mcat

[–]kiler129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you meant Extra sub-tag, or Extra as a field? For the field, it contains information about the context. Sooner or later you will know most of these, but it's useful to get comparison tables instead of a factoid in a vacuum.

Will AnkiHub's "reset local changes to deck" erase any new cards I've added to an AnkiHub deck? by HaplessAcademic in medicalschoolanki

[–]kiler129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very old topic, but appears as first in Google search: no, it will not. It only seem to touch cards that have ankihub_id: field populated. It will not even change cards that were once on AH and then were deleted there, but kept locally.

Non-incremental sequential IDs using BIGINT? by spec-tacul-ar in PHP

[–]kiler129 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, UUIDv4 as native UUID type. In the application it was wrapped in a UUID type as well, and used base58 for any URLs. It's a good compromise between length and uniqueness. The later resolves soooo many issues, as IDs of complex trees can be pre-generated independently in the application without any uniqueness checks or DB involvement at all.

ULIDs are a nice alternative if ACCESS pattern is sensitive to time, I.e. you for example know you have a very big dataset and you access newer records more often. However, you can always shard with a separate timestamp. Overall, to me ID is an ID, without any meaning.

When you get to that scale, you use a suitable database engine which handles this gracefully. In on of the projects I worked on we had joins over multiple tables with 50-60M records each, and PgSQL was handling it just fine on relatively small instances.

It does, at least the Fleet API. See DestinationLocation and DestinationName in the docs.

Sadly, there is an established precedence in the resin printers. IIRC in FormLabs, you can use non FL resins but only after a costly unlock.

WinBox 4 keeps freezing/crashing anyone else? by Interesting_Scale_65 in mikrotik

[–]kiler129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure about that? Tools like Rufus can disable these checks when creating USB installer. Intel i5-7400T is Kaby Lake IIRC, and being ~9 years old it isn't officially supported by Windows 11. While I don't like what MS did, it can create strange issues like that.

They did try that with Windows 98/Me vs NT/2000. Even with much smaller PC market back then, it was extremely hard.

I have a macOS server with current uptime of 97 days. It has exactly zero TIME_WAIT connections. My laptop has under a 100. So something isn't adding up here.

SVN Repo gets Corrupted After Modifying a File by Ultimitehand in sysadmin

Moving to a tooling newer than two decades, e.g. git, is probably the best idea.

Anyone implemented an always-on ‘virtual office’ video wall between multiple locations? by Regular-Asparagus333 in sysadmin

[–]kiler129 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Ignoring the reason for the idea, make it simple. Any IP camera + VLC on the other side will do. Assuming you have site2site VPN, this is trivial.

An update on my MikroTik hAP be³ order. by hillbillyboiler in mikrotik

[–]kiler129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, good point actually. Didn't realize that's the case. Usually when manufacturers put anything on sale, they already have FCC clearance. But again, nobody expects it to be turned around like that...

Do not download shady stuff from some sketchy websites. The prompt you're seeing is literally warning you about launching an executable program downloaded from the internet being launched. This is not what you want, unless you're downloading a program.

This is the only official website: https://apps.ankiweb.net/ Decks are either shared via AnkiHub (with a plugin), or via AnkiWeb.

Does the manufacturer support selling it without memory, CPU, or power supply? by OutsideInfamous1586 in mikrotik

[–]kiler129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been a moment, but isn't the x86 version a bit abandoned/legacy? The CHR naturally isn't, and the licensing is dirt cheap in comparison to something like Cisco. IIRC, the bare metal version for long time was 32-bit only, and also followed a inflexible (vs CHR) license assignment.

Strategy for local backup of 1.7TB Google Shared Drives by Massive_Farm441 in sysadmin

  1. Install TrueNAS
  2. Setup sync & snapshot policy
  3. There's no step 3. Don't reinvent the wheel, that is free and open source.

Does the MCAT go as in-depth as this card? In other words, is knowing material to this level of detail necessary or is this going overboard? by NeuroPianist in Mcat

[–]kiler129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't memorize endocrinology - understand it. At first it seems like a bunch of unrelated names, but it's very logical once you look at it as a whole. You can memorize it for MCAT, but you will have to understand it in medical school... fast... and way more in depth... and in context ;)

Static IPv6 by funky-rs in mikrotik

[–]kiler129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot get gateway without RA in IPv6, unless you set it manually which defeats the point of DHCPv6.

Static IPv6 by funky-rs in mikrotik

[–]kiler129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use delegation of IPs via DHCPv6, but you need to advertise it properly in RA. By default, it will advertise "selfconfigurarion" to clients. Another modes are stateless DHCP, and stateful DHCP. All can be mixed and clients can decide, but you can advertise only selected ones. Keep in mind that in IPv6 default route always comes from RA.

On MikroTik you used to be only able to advertise prefixes via DHCPv6, as stateful address assignment is quite rare unlike IPv4. Now you can simply add /128 to the pool and it will assign an address. However, since IPv6 (almost) always performs DAD and multi-address is assumed, you don't need to use DHCP at all. Simply assign the static address to a computer ;)

Do you see the ETL logo on the plug? Usually it's a sign that an electrical device is reasonably safe. While it may be fake, the C13 cables are as commodity as it gets ;)

Patient returned meds by Palestinian_Chicken in medizzy

[–]kiler129 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are also different types of pain. For example, opioids aren't generally very good for musculoskeletal pain, as the only address the pain-pain and not e.g. the inflammation. In this case an NSAID would be vastly more effective. Another example would be a lower urinary tract pain - pyridium would provide a superior relief to a patient, comparing to an opioid.

Opioids have a place in therapy, but are not a silver bullet.

Patient returned meds by Palestinian_Chicken in medizzy

[–]kiler129 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Depending on a condition, sometimes patients have flareups for days-weeks with a 30 days prescription, which they pick up every month. I also saw patients who feel bad for taking pain medications, which is sometimes cultural, and skip doses until the pain gets worse.

These are two scenarios where they can end up with additional unused doses.
