Yes, if goal is to write as few lines as possible, while accomplishing tasks.
I'm tempted to say compared to achieved features, but that is qualitative and cannot be well quantified. In any case, even metric of how few lines needs other data (information) to adjust into, which all are soft metrics, cannot be quantified.
If all other things being identical, i would take the coder which has fewer lines produced. Fewer lines is less code to maintain, likely less bugs to fix.
However, all other things are never identical, so it only works as indication of what is likely, not as hard evidence.
Still sucks. The price is high, the caps are low, the speed is low. I'm paying 39.90€ a month for 24/1 unlimited. Practically get about 1.8M/s down and 90k/s up. and that is considered slightly on the expensive side.
40Gb cap i would blow through really fast, then again i'm a business owner.
The dude cleaning toilets does not have the same impact on society than the guy paying your salary.
imho tbh it's far more important that most people have roughly equal opportunity, no discrimination for being black/hispanic/white or no discrimation if you are poor, or not so well educated. Everyone should be respected by their own merit, augmented or not.
If we start discriminating people who want to improve upon themselves beyond the baseline of human capability, we should start discriminating also for people taking care of how they look, ie. spending on expensive clothing, stylizing hair, or trying to make yourself look thinner or more muscular etc. even dieting if you are obese should be discriminatory then. That too is sort of improving beyond the baseline.
Eye glasses and especially contacts should be discriminated aswell, that too is augmenting yourself with technology to go beyond your natural capabilities!
Why then is some sorts of augmentation such a taboo? I'm all in for better memory if it has livable side effects, or better reflexes. Anything really which increases my mental capability without too much of side effects. Coffee too is a drug to increase mental capability, and it's the most popular drug in the world.
putting new ones is the key tbh. Lazyness is not a form of cable management by definition;) and lazy ppl don't bother to do cable management in the first place.
Diagnocal / side cutters are way safer than any burning method. If it burns the zip/lock it can burn the cable.
You can remove the locker, or directly cut the tie. You just keep your eyes open and no wires cut, no hands cut:) and the cutting portion of those is so small anyways they are quite safe, unless your fingers are the size of ethernet cable.
In any case, if you are unable to use side cutters safely, you maybe shouldn't touch any kind of tools.
How do you manage to tighten a zip tie too tight? oO; Are you using stainless steel ones and pliers to tighten it? I've never managed to damage a cable by tightening a zip tie around it, not even 20+ yo car wires zip tied.
Actually it will, due to competition. Thank you capitalism!:)
People will likely choose the cheapest product of a group of products, thus need to make things cheaper to sell more, and only way to make things cheaper is to mfg them cheaper.
required energy production does not depend on the type of energy source, thus deaths per terawatt is the most meaningful statistic there is by far.
So say for 10TW requirement for coal there is 1 610 deaths while for nuclear there is 0.4 deaths, or in other words 1 death per 2½years.
So let's reflect that for every 1 death in nuclear production you get 4025 deaths for coal energy production. I'd say that's a DAMN GOOD trade off, even if deaths by nuclear production would increase by multiple orders of magnitude!
to HIGHEST spot, in my case that is sunroof glass which is just a notch higher than roof. The exact height was something like 124 and few millimeters, without engine in. I'm rebuilding that car and target is now 118cm which means i need to remove tow hooks, lift drive axle tunnel, probably lift fenders too etc. so that it still leaves 12cm of ground clearance. Cannot make it any lower without chopping roof, but that is not street legal anymore here.
that is one damn low car, lowest factory mass produced car has been 128cm in the 50s, super cars are in the 120cm range too. roughly 1210mm to 1240mm
Apollo Gumbert is probably the lowest super car being produced, it is 1104mm tall.
Linux software RAID10 gives both of these, performance and redundancy. It offers as good performance as RAID0 but also the redundancy of RAID1. The software RAID works differently, and sensibly, versus the hardware based variants.
Soft raid first spliced the drives into tiny chunks, RAID1 them and then those are RAID0'd. AND you can do this with only 2 drives, vs. HW based needs atleast 4.
HW based tends to give about N/2 performance even at best (cheap HP SmartArrays way less), and SW gives about N*0.9, in terms of absolute IOPS and throughput.
Also if you appreciate performance and use HP servers, only either use entry level (max 4 drives) or maybe the ultra high end. Beyond entry level they are defective by design for most part, ie. using a single SATA lane for 12 drives!?!?!? so for more than 4 drives, you need to configure the HW yourself, and make sure there is enough lanes being used. I've tried HP 2drive, 4drive, 6drive and 12drive versions, best performance is on 4 drive, then 6 drive, 2 drive and 12drive. Yes, 12 drive was the slowest of them all. Also never ever use HP "Enterprise" HDDs, they are one of the slowest HDDs i've seen to exist. They are some cheap consumer drives with relabeling and firmware which limits usage only to HP servers. 500Gb HDDs were atleast good for their size being Seagate Barracuda, but 1Tb, 2Tb are terribly slow. WD Blacks are multiple times faster, and handles heavy concurrency way more graciously, where as the "HP Enterprise" HDDs tend to cause whole node go down after threshold of concurrency is reached being so slow at that point SSH connections timeout etc., WD Blacks just makes resetting whatever sucking the IO throughput a bit slow process or we simply haven't reached that threshold yet despite best attempts:)
Rather get similar drives from different stores and separate dates.
For example buy 20 drives today from 4 different shops, wait 2 weeks and buy the next 20. You will likely get different manufacturing batches that way, especially if you use both popular and not so popular stores, ie. shelf time of the drives is different.
Or always keep couple drives from older batch, ie. buy 10, only use 2 from that batch, and 2 each from 4 earlier batches:)
Most likely cause for drives to fail that close to each other is shipping mishandling, ie. the courier dropped the box from top shelf or something like that.
yeah i've had that problem too. my ride was so damn low (~125cm from ground to highest spot) and big rear window (coupe model) that i ended up turning my rear view mirror towards roof on many occasions.

some moderate parent +trillion insightful with funny toppings :P
Lol, EPIC fail! :P
coder managing -2k lines of code, while ALL features are retained, and software works exactly like it used to or better deserves a nice bonus :)

i had no problems on XP 64bit with drivers except for one ages old webcam and soundcard. Performance was waaaayyy better too.
Even running on latest hardware, with latest gpu etc. XP 64bit worked very smoothly :)
If you could backport win7 UI + usability enhancements i would prob still use XP 64bit for it being faster.
Imagine if google shut down even for 1hr in protest against SOPA ... Maybe even 10minutes would have quite a crucifying effect!
Deisgn goal of FW to rule them all == Design goal of EPIC FAIL. It will end up just something else which will be replaced eventually and cursed about.

So you are saying democrats are better in politics
Why, oh why, should everyone be equal?

Cable snake seems expensive and clumsy compared to spiral cable binder/wrapper, which is cheap and easy :)

yeah, corollas are quite low, even standard! :)
Car i was speaking of is TE71 Coupe. Even KE70 with stock suspension is kinda low versus other standard cars.

RAID0 also gives you increased performance, not just capacity.

The real question is how many have been run down, but we just don't hear about it.
TOR. Enough said.
