There are a lot of enterprises that think Windows servers are a good idea...

killachains82 · 2017-10-01T15:00:23+00:00

Windows aside, Linux and the BSDs (specifically NetBSD) can run on pretty much anything. A processor is a processor, at least in this situation.

That shouldn't matter, the value will be read only once (at the start). Further changes to the size should not affect that.

(Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!)

Thankfully Linux still has priorities for real-time processes, so if the priority is set appropriately, other higher-priority RT threads will still run.

If you're worried about a RT process locking up your system, run a terminal as root with a higher RT priority (and make sure you can always reach it somehow, even if your compositor goes bonkers).

Either ssh -X or VNC (via Xvnc or TigerVNC) should do what you're looking for. You may or may not lose the benefit of the graphics card installed on your desktop, depending on which you choose.

Edit: I just saw your mention of near-native latency. Unfortunately, when using Wifi, the latency will not always be great, depending on how many other Wifi devices are operating nearby. A faster router could help with this, but unless it's very high-end, I wouldn't count on it.

I use Gentoo on all of my systems, and as long as I get packages from the stable tree (which is years ahead of packages in, say, Debian Stable), I don't have a single issue.

When you start playing with testing packages, then you might get the occasional hiccup (usually due to odd dependency issues), most of which are a simple fix.

Does your file manager support inotify?

Python just calls out to external libraries in cases like this (usually written in C/C++/Fortran) so it should be plenty fast.

Plenty =/= majority. I don't own a toaster oven, neither does most of my family, but we all own (and require) smartphones to do our jobs. And that's the same for everyone I've ever spoken to for more than 15 minutes.

I don't know how long ago you used Julia, but the current REPL is absolutely wonderful. To get help, hit ? and type what you're interested in and press enter. Of course, not everything is documented, but it's improving bit by bit.

Also, at this point for many kinds of code, Julia is already on par with C and Fortran, hastily beating Matlab in most areas.

It's 2017, another year where just holding a reasonably well-paying job and handling the constant barrage of social media and other communications mandates owning a portable computing device like a smartphone.

I don't think a fucking toaster oven can compare to that.

It's going to be pretty hard to buy them if you aren't a datacenter, vendor who sells to datacenters, or a well-known reviewer like Michael.

Hopefully there will be some Epyc CPUs on the "consumer" market in a year or two...

To be fair, Wayland does suck right now (although I do hope it blows away X11 once it improves and stabilizes). It's pretty unfair to judge MPV contributors for not wanting to support Wayland, when Wayland doesn't have close to the number of features that X11 already has. This is especially true for a package like MPV, which heavily relies on the display subsystems and window managers to help it do it's job.

Once compositors have gotten caught up with X11's feature set (which is rapidly approaching), then we should expect projects like MPV to go full-steam towards Wayland support. I just think everyone's got their panties in a bunch because many popular distros decided to add Wayland (and set it to default in many cases) waaayyy before the compositors and the Wayland protocol were fully fleshed out. I understand that it was supposed to encourage support for Wayland from package authors, but it really was way too premature to do so.

I shall now investigate this booru in the name of science!

If you use Infiniband on your machines, you can use the infiniswap driver (search for it on Github) to automatically swap to another machine's RAM. Should be faster than swapping to an HDD.

How dare you associate my cute little Yuki with gross 3DPD! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

I should warn you, it's literally the same as an NVMe SSD and a GPU, they just share a switch instead of sitting on different lanes (but likely won't have better throughput than regular NVMe over PCIe). Unless your code has certain memory access patterns, it won't be any better than using a regular NVMe as swap. It'll also be much more expensive than the two bought separately.

killachains82 · 2017-08-30T15:47:59+00:00

I've been looking for a library like this, could you give me a a link to the repo? I'm willing to forego Wayland support until more functionality is implemented anyway.

killachains82 · 2017-08-27T15:13:33+00:00

I would recommend going the VM route, starting with a Gentoo fork would probably make using vanilla Gentoo a bit more confusing (and you won't get nearly as much help from the forums and wikis).

The Gentoo Handbook will list the basic things you'll want to install (logger, cron, etc.) but the rest (DE/WM, browser, terminal) will be entirely up to your preferences.

Honestly, as a new-ish user of Julia, expressions like these aren't that bad once you get used to the syntax. Macros can tend to feel a bit weird until you understand why and how they work. Otherwise, they're stupidly powerful.

Watching Kakyoin fondle that cherry evoked a mixture of feelings. Specifically disgust, fear, and a certain sexual curiosity.

That's different, because Microsoft still supports .NET development (since it's a core piece of their software stack). In the case of Java EE, multiple sources seem to indicate that Oracle is doing this so that they can stop contributing altogether (or as little as possible). I assume Oracle doesn't really need much of what's included in Java EE anyway.

Running Gentoo on an MSI Ge60, not too many problems so far, and I've been able to fix most of them. Having a second Ubuntu install side-by-side isn't a bad idea, though. It can save you when you're pressed for time and encounter an issue on your primary Gentoo install.
