@Hennes Urk. Got enough of that from the reddit thread, tyvm

@Hennes honestly speaking literally doesnt always means literally

Hennes

If you allow me to espond: F@@@@ yes it does! :)

"espond" being an Old English verb meaning "to respond in a truncated manner"

jokerdino

the literal use of the word literally doesn't literally exist everywhere.

much like how meme is being used in the current era

how does moving from sector 1 to sector 4 ended up with only 2 ms

Psycogeek

@IvanMatala Via the "read ahead" feature of the hard drive . .. course that was not in the scenario :-)

IvanMatala

@Psycogeek what does that mean

somequixotic

@Bob you should be able to uncomment the seen check now

Bob

@somequixotic Yea

somequixotic

17:45

good to know it works

that rep check logic should work for everyone except for Jon Skeet

for him, the system will dynamically attempt to resize the integer to bigger and bigger widths until it causes an Out Of Memory and the kernel's OOMkiller has to kill phantomjs

Bob

@somequixotic java at ~9GB of virtual memory, phantomjs at ~1.5GB

wow.

somequixotic

I'm pretty sure you're reading that wrong if it says it's using 9 GB... now remember, the virtual memory does not correspond 1:1 with actual mapped memory, it can be copies of data shared across process bounds

Bob

(120/75 phsyical, though, which isn't bad)

@somequixotic Apart form memory mapped files..

I dunno, i kinda equated virtual memory with commit

somequixotic

just the fact that it's a Java VM is enough to cause it to pull in just about every library on the system and then some, so the 9 GB doesn't really surprise me, but that's not actual physical memory (or even swap) being used

Journeyman Geek

lol

Bob

17:49

which isn't correct, obviously

Psycogeek

@IvanMatala umm it means that it all gets very complicated. in the simple the head has to move to get to the data, the platter has to rotate to the location of the data to get to the data. Getting to far beyond that , and there are many complexities. But there is not just one head either.

somequixotic

also the Java VM pre-reserves its heap, I believe

even if the program doesn't use all of it

the heap can dynamically grow over the lifetime of the app

but there's really no reason for there to be much data at all in the java process, because it's just using a wire protocol over TCP to phantomJS to tell it what to do

IvanMatala

ok thanks

somequixotic

the JavaScript engine, the HTML parser, the network I/O with the Internet, etc. all lives in PhantomJS. the Java process is just there waiting, although technically you could kill java and phantomjs should keep running

Bob

@Psycogeek Looks like he only cares about his simplified model, for now

Psycogeek

17:52

@IvanMatala They try and describe things so it is easy to understand, which is good. but I (my opinion) is when they try and make a fact based "if then" sequence and mathamatic definition of how it will happen exactly, then it gets way more complex.

Bob

This is ridiculous.

somequixotic

in the Java program, if it is allowed to exit cleanly, there's a finally block at the end of main() that kills PhantomJS regardless of whether or not an exception was thrown; however, if you hard-kill the Java proc, that can't run

Bob

I have a VPS here running postgres taking less total memory than the other one running apache2 w/ prefork and mod_php

To be specific, a fifth of the physical memory.

Huh. Why the heck is bind running?

Ah, whatever. Might as well go sleep.

@somequixotic Don't forget to commit

somequixotic

@Bob thanks!

Psycogeek

@IvanMatala For me it is just easier to understand that (in general) you want the data to be close because head jumping takes time. You want the data to be contiguous, because the people who make hard drives have methods where they have rotation and head jump worked out to achieve very fast sequential readings. Plus the drives will read ahead (as best as they can predict) to keep the data speed going.

I just got back a monitor I let my coworkers borrow for testing HDMI stuff. I included the HDMI cable for it.

@BenRichards I think Sigmond Freud would say "sometimes a HDMI cable is not just a HDMI cable." that your space has been violated, and your possessions reverted to a lack of control. The obvious thing to do would be to beat them , till you get your cable back.

Darth Android

18:16

@BenRichards Because they took your stuff! I made sure my family learned early on that touching or tampering with my computer hardware meant lost fingers.

(tampering includes not returning loaned hardware in the same condition)

somequixotic

@BenRichards also, not all HDMI cables are created equal! Not by a long shot! The amount of shielding, the quality of the wiring... I have a Micro HDMI to Full HDMI 1.4 cable ("full speed") that randomly produces static on the display when plugging it in; it only renders properly after unplugging it and plugging it back in about 6 times

Boris_yo

@DarthAndroid You were so mean as to cut their fingers? It's your family man.

somequixotic

strangely enough, once it's up to the point where it works properly, it'll keep on working pretty much indefinitely as long as you are outputting video, as long as you don't unplug the cable

Darth Android

@somequixotic Though they are made far more equal than Monster would have you believe though. :P

Ben Richards

@somequixotic Oh right, that's why I buy from Monster always. /s

somequixotic

18:19

@DarthAndroid lol true

I use the "cable thickness test"

Ben Richards

It's a digital signal. So long as you aren't running it over a 3 meter cable, I think it's fine. :P

Boris_yo

@somequixotic Must be made in China.

somequixotic

thin cable = poorly shielded, easy to cut

Darth Android

And that's not always true

I had a thinly-shielded 15-foot HDMI cable that I was pushing past specifications (to drive a 2560x1400 monitor)

Ben Richards

Actually, I have a few Monster cables. :P

From way back

Dang Best Buy

somequixotic

18:20

@BenRichards yes, but digital signaling at high bandwidth requires a very low noise environment with a highly conductive medium and, if the wire comes in contact with any other cables, significant shielding

Darth Android

and I could get a signal as long as I didn't have too many white pixels on the screen at once.

somequixotic

@DarthAndroid very interesting, lol

Darth Android

I had to judiciously manage my windows so that I removed one before moving another over it, they couldn't be more than a certain size, etc. or I would lose the signal completely.

somequixotic

this is why they recommend Cat7 ethernet cable for gigabit and 10G networks, and why some people have no end of problems with Cat5 or Cat5e at those speeds

it's not all about the shielding, but shielding does matter, unless it's the only cable in your entire setup, which is practically impossible; you've AT LEAST got a power cable in addition

Darth Android

But then Monoprice shipped me my 24AWG dual DVI cable, which was thicker than the power cable for my computer.

No quality issues there :3

Ben Richards

18:21

Ok. So my display is HDMI 1.4a and does 3D modes. Should I look for my HDMI cable that came with it, then?

somequixotic

@BenRichards if the cable they supplied you with is good enough, it shouldn't matter; but if they swapped it out with an older cable with poorer shielding / wiring, you might have issues, it all depends

cable length has a LOT to do with it though; you need less stringent specs all around for shorter cables

Ben Richards

They swapped it out for a cable that's thicker overall, but doesn't have those ferrous lumpy things that they clamp around the ends of cables sometimes.

somequixotic

those ferrite cores are extremely useful; and if they've been provided to you in the past to use, and now you don't have them, that's a significant loss

Boris_yo

@somequixotic Not a problem if you use repeaters.

Darth Android

@Ben if the cable you have now is HDMI 1.3 or better, then it should be good. 1.4 just added more things you can do with the cable, but doesn't increase bandwidth or anything like that.

Psycogeek

18:24

Ferrite bead

A ferrite bead is a passive electric component used to suppress high frequency noise in electronic circuits. It is a specific type of electronic choke. Ferrite beads employ the dissipation of high frequency currents in a ferrite ceramic to build high frequency noise suppression devices. Ferrite beads may also be called blocks, cores, rings, EMI filters, or chokes. Overview Ferrite beads are used to prevent interference in two directions: from a device or to a device. A conductive cable acts as an antenna – if the device produces radio frequency energy, this can be transmitted through t...

1.4 added a standardized protocol for stereoscopic 3D and ethernet over HDMI, IIRC

@somequixotic It's not any higher bandwidth though, just new standards.
