  1. Re:Better idea on Could This Bold New Technique Boost Gravitational-Wave Detection? (space.com) · · Score: 2

    So, you would have to send identical twins down different hyperloops, and see if they age differently due to the gravitational waves?

  2. Or whining about the whiney whiner who is whining about the other people whining.

    I just saw a very interesting video on how that whole detector works, and the troubles they face making the measurements.

    https://youtu.be/iphcyNWFD10

    Seems the only way they can be even remotely accurate enough is to eliminate every variable but one, and air was a biggie.

  6. How is this possible? on Report Says Radioactive Monitors Failed at Nuclear Plant (apnews.com) · · Score: 2

    How can you decontaminate a nuclear waste site, and not have functioning radiation detection?

    Wouldn't you think there would have to be 100 different monitors around the area between workers, and equipment, the existing facility monitors, and safety systems for the area?

    But... But... But...
    Embedded systems are hard, and the programmers that can do that type of programming aren't a dime a dozen.

    Also... Who cares if there's no watchdog timer...

  10. I would be happy with 64-96 gigs of Optane ram, and no SSD
    Probably be faster than my 80 gig X25 8 gig setup now.

  11. Matt, thank you as always for your comments, and contributions.

    If the Optane drive is significantly faster at low queue depths, does that mean that it is capable of maintaining a lower queue depth for longer by servicing them faster, preventing the depth from growing?

  12. Relative latencies:
    SRAM 1X
    DRAM 10X
    Optane 100X
    NAND 100,000X
    Rust 10,000,000X

    https://hothardware.com/review...

    The same gains as going from HDD to SDD (1000X) are realized again going from SDD to Optane.

    Probably one of those things, you don't know why you'd even need it, until you have it, then you won't want to live without it.
    Or you're not demanding enough to even notice either way.

  15. We used to buy a crank mechanism with some gears and a cam that you installed over the trigger (similar to a gun lock) and all you had to do was turn the crank as fast as you could.

    It wasn't fully automatic, but it was a blast for cutting down trees!

    When it comes to the orange haired fuckwad, the whole world lost.

    How can you be so stupid?

  24. It's everything you wanted.

    Tells you (or can) every time a program accesses a resource, and gives you the option of allowing it, or feeding it fake data.

    Want every app to see an empty address book, no problem.

    GPS at N 0.0, W 0.0? Easy!

    Feed a randomized Google advertising id, IMEI, serial number, etc every time you run an app? That's one of the defaults:)

    You can start our giving the app no permissions, and it will pop up a screen asking you to allow or deny everything it does.

    It's fun to see how often apps try and pull shit, and stop it dead in it's tracks.
