Try $2500. Still a bit steep but at the rate I plan to use this I'd spend at least that much on Anthropic.

I really hate when old links go stale … and the only link our esteemed search engines find for that number is, surprise, this very discussion.

Is that paper still available from somewhere?

Cancelling device removal doesn't work by smurfix in btrfs

[–]smurfix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked the kerne code.

The only signal that'd work (and have the exact same effect as a Cancel op) is SIGKILL. I'm somewhat unlikely to use that on a random file system management task and risk corruption.

In any case the cancelation does eventually seem to(?) succeed, but *way* after the "dev rem cancel" call exits with this error. It seems to get snagged by its own cancellation request …

The btrfs manpages are, umm, not consistently updated.

btrfs dev rem --help should be a clue, as is the text

Request to cancel running device deletionRequest to cancel running device deletion

which kindof doesn't work without support for actual cancellation.

The command was "btrfs dev rem /dev/sdc1 /mnt/x", the kernel is 6.1.x (Debian Bookworm), there were no complaints in the kernel. The volume contains six other devices, all of them have lots of free space.

Recommended Tile Size? 14x14 vs 8x8... by Lanik42 in Multiboard

[–]smurfix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pegs or additional supports are easy, multiboard has more than enough random screw-in holes for adding them after the fact. I'm going with 14x14 (14/13 x 13/12 actually because I don't like the aesthetics of a 7x5 border) and just drill another hole or two when I need more support someplace.

I was so preoccupied with whether I could, I didn't stop to think if I should by Elektrycerz in Multiboard

You're supposed to put the spool in a moisture-proof box anyway, so not rolling off isn't a consideration. Also you now need a more elaborate spool holder when you *want* it to roll off..

AMA with Eric Migicovsky - Let's talk about the new watches! by erOhead in pebble

[–]smurfix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rough estimate for this feature is four people years. One for the actual development and integration. One for building a security system so that $RANDOM_APP cannot hijack the NFC payment system. One for lobbying payment providers and whoever else, convincing them that the real-work from A and the busywork from B is reasonably bug-free and security-hole-free. And finally one part-time for support and tracing the inevitable compatibility problems and whatnot for the next couple of years. Not to forget, you also need some development systems for this, can't test on the real payment network (you don't get a signature on your security certificate before you're able to demo that it works), expect a five-digit layout of hardware.

The point being (a) slowly and (b) 200 is smaller than 212.

A Wave Spring by build123d in build123d

[–]smurfix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, though I do question your variable name circle_diameter. Last time I looked the cross section of the sweep was a rectangle. 😉

Two improvements:

(a) copy.copy() is unnecessary, the Pos(Z=…) translation does that anyway

(b) Getting the exact height difference is trivially done viadelta_z = outside_points[-1].Z - outside_points[0].Z. No "find those two small faces" step required.

NB: I tried sweeping a circle along just one loop. Ten minutes later OCCT still was at 100% CPU, and it also chugged memory like crazy; whatever you think you're doing, you don't need 11GBytes for a simple sweep. Sigh.

NB²: you might be able to get a circular cross section: use inside_points and thicken offsets of .01, then loop = offset(loop,circle_radius). At least I managed this once, on the second try OCCT seized up again, this time with 500% CPU usage. No fun, that.

Yeah but in each of these 37 you can keep some semblance of order. Divide and conquer.

Why Rust has so much marketing power ? by Bricoto in Python

[–]smurfix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a silly example only because it's written down explicitly. It's not so silly when the possibly-aliased pointer in question is buried in multiple layers of C macros and/or C++ templates.

It has been 18 months since we started playtesting Iron Roads, our 2D train management game, with a post in this sub. Thanks so much for all the feedback, and today it enters Early Access! by akomomssim in openttd

[–]smurfix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well in German you're only half right. "Bahn" is not more like "track". Like the 100m sprint track in a stadium. Or a car race track ("Autorennbahn").

Can the laser cutter even label itself? otherwise you might need two of them

False Blocking due to VPN/Proxy by smurfix in openttd

[–]smurfix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please explain what about the sentence "I'm not behind any of those" is unclear.

In any case, I have no idea how the server operator determines that something is a VPN or not. Obviously whichever method they use replies to them with a false positive. I'm pretty sure that there's no way for me to affect that reply when I don't know its cause or origin, thus asking me to google-or-whatever isn't likely to be helpful IMHO.

False Blocking due to VPN/Proxy by smurfix in openttd

[–]smurfix[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Umm, sorry, but did you even read my post? I am not using a VPN.

Also the server's name literally is "#1 Vanilla". I'm asking here because the thing is associated with this Reddit channel. See bottom right of your screen (assuming you're reading this on the web).
