@Psycogeek Well obviously

Saving the disk cache to disk makes about as much sense as putting a pagefile on a RAM drive.

@MichaelFrank Eh, Backblaze make a big deal out of the fact they let people literally use as much as they want (even hundreds of terabytes) on their unlimited service.

1:29 AM

@qasdfdsaq makes perfect sence, it would all be sequential to pour it all back "the way it was" , and sicee when has MS always made sence? I do not hibernate ever, have you observed the reality of the cache being cleared on return?

If it clears, or even if it doesn't it would be a large concideration for my diatribe on superfetch effectiveness, somehow i could add it into the conciderations for it, however that would be said.

If it was always cleared, then there are some answers about hibernation, that might have included that occurance in thier statement of it "returning the ram back the way it was" when that is far from :-) the way it was.

like "Hibernation is the only way to turn off a computer completely and later, turn it on and get back the exact same state when you left it." Which is commonly how even i would tend to say it.

2:20 AM

ahh, the info not so easy to find. MS memmanage docx Vista and beyond. "Hibernation no longer purges the page cache, as in earlier Windows releases. Instead, the system writes cached data to the hibernate file intelligently based on what is being used. "

i also spotted interesting stuff on the Integrated GPU (using regular ram) and how the drivers would determine fast or stupid ways to do that work in hibernate.

problem is one update later, and it could be changed 100%

What's with the resurgence in high-difficulty gaming these days? The Souls franchise has become so popular, and I keep seeing new roguelikes coming out lately. What's going on?

in The Bridge, Oct 29 '14 at 15:32, by DragonLord

I've noticed a trend towards extreme difficulty these days

Roguelikes are more popular than ever.

in The Bridge, Jun 13 '14 at 17:43, by DragonLord

Why are roguelikes all the craze today?

I've been spending some time lately playing Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and I'm constantly having trouble. What gives?

I just feel like I'm getting left behind in today's gaming trends.

@bwDraco what trouble, Dying?

Who cares?

Are you having fun?

there is a fine line between constant frustration , and fun :-)

I'm not really frustrated about dying more than I'm just concerned about my performing poorly.

I just don't think I'm playing at any reasonable standard.

(Morgue files are available upon request, if you need them.)

3:17 AM

you need to quit your job, quit going outside, and play games for your life, cause that is who sets the reviews, talks to the devs, sets the standards. I wonder some days how the heck the reviewers can even play that many games.

I can't consistently make it past Dungeon:5. Granted, this isn't exactly uncommon, but it's not "reasonable" when veteran players are able to win the majority of the time, often succeeding at getting all 15 runes rather than just three.

the last few i have done, I restarted 1/3rd the way in, after discovering the rest of the "mechanics of the code" not the "strategy of the player"

Dying more than 80% of the time on D:5 or earlier just isn't a reasonable standard of performance.

also the "all or nothing" going from constant dead, to floating through untouched, after restarting it. As booring as that should be , i still prefer having the edge.

Sure, the game's hard. But regardless of how hard a game is, there's a certain baseline level of gameplay performance that any player should meet. I'm not meeting that baseline, and that's not okay.

@bwDraco "I've had to change it due to a bizarre trademark dispute" Please share :D

@Insane Wait, you didn't see this last week?

Insane

@bwDraco Unfortunately not :(

Start reading the chat transcript from here.

I really don't want to talk about it much.

If you're playing a hard game, you should be playing harder. It's not okay to be getting nowhere.

Huh. Chat recognizes separators.

Insane

Wow. That's all I'll say.

3:27 AM

@Insane Yeah, pretty weird.

i know i play a lot better after having slept, vrses on the 36th hour of non-stop head beating. both of which have different advantages :-)

the non-stop playing really socks you mentally into the game, i am the player, the being much more awake, and healthy , instead makes things seem easier. Just like the first 2 hours people are at a job, is the most work they get done for the day.

Q: Chat eats up some messages

When you edit a message and repost the contents of its first revision, the repost is eaten up by chat. Steps to reproduce: Join any chat room Post something. Let's say you post abcd Edit that to something else. For example, --- Try to post abcd again. The green (pending) message will show up,...

Yup, ran into this problem.

@bwDraco so how is your new broadband working out?

Pretty well. Performs surprisingly well for everyday web browsing and light video streaming (up to 720p on YouTube).

There are times where I'd want more bandwidth (3.5 Mpbs isn't exactly fast) but it gets the job done, and it's a lot more reliable than the crappy DSL it replaced.

It also supports IPv6—fully native IPv6 no less, no tunnel or other transitional technologies.

Google gives me this for "my ip":

The service is rated for 3/1 but it's typically around 3.5/1.2 Mbps.

3:43 AM

same here, although i dont have docsis3 modem yet.

We're using an ARRIS SURFboard SB6141 modem. DOCSIS 3.0 8-channel modem, can theoretically do up to 343 Mbps downstream. However, TWC needs a 16-channel modem (e.g. SURFboard SB6183) for speeds greater than 100 Mbps.

Regardless, if we're ever upgrading past the 50 Mbps plan, we'd have to replace a lot of Wi-Fi equipment to leverage higher speeds. We're using a rather inexpensive 802.11n router which does not support Gigabit Ethernet.

0_0

Which router?

Linksys E2500.

Wierd. I have the dumb switch equivalent of it and that's gig-e capable

No pressing need for anything better at this time, but this isn't the best router.

We're not transferring a lot of data across devices over the WLAN. We don't have a media server or other similarly data-intensive device on the network, so we don't anything faster.

I'm the only one who has 802.11ac-capable devices (laptop and tablet), but I've never seen any genuine need for these speeds.

3:52 AM

Oh, yeah, there's that

I'm just picky about that for when I eventually get gig-e everywhere

The E2500 supports 5 GHz, but these signals penetrate walls poorly and forcing the device to use the 5 GHz band results in degraded performance where I work. (The AP is on the second floor, but my office is on the first floor and the 5 GHz signal barely reaches there.)

The 2.4 GHz signal is reasonably strong throughout most of the house, though.

Oh, wifi sucks.

Would disabling the 5 GHz band improve performance on 2.4 GHz?

I can log onto the router now to do it if it's a good idea.

Alright, disabled the 5 GHz radio.

4:10 AM

@bwDraco clear this up for me, the modem is just a modem only not a combo modem wifi for the house thing? and the channels are the way it talks to the ISP stuff ,not anything to do with the wifi?

The channels refer to the signals on the coax. It's just a modem with a single Gigabit Ethernet jack, not a wireless AP. The router is a separate device.

@bwDraco ahh so they actually use multiple RF frequencies to talk on the cable, i did not know that at all.

Yup

Once again, this is an ARRIS SURFboard SB6141 we're talking about.

amazon.com/ARRIS-SURFboard-SB6141-DOCSIS-Cable/dp/B00AJHDZSI

We own our modem; it's not worth leasing it from the ISP.

@bwDraco yea i alway decide to OWN my modem right after i have rented it to death, and right before they change it again :-)

So it would be interesting to see how the long term results of the uptime with said modem, the first few docsis3 , and rollout of that here (comcast), some people had a lot of problems Like re-booting. (even see a few there in the reviews). Some the "distance" quality DB of the cable signal was not good enough, and they had those problems.

4:18 AM

Our modem reports good cable signals.

Around 39 dB on all downstream channels, with upstream power about 45 dB.

(Higher is better with downstream; lower is better with upstream.)

When you aquired this new cable services, did you just use the old TVcable stuff already there, or has any of it been changed for the modem purpose

We have Time Warner Cable, in a service area that has the Maxx upgrades fully deployed.

@Psycogeek We just reused existing coax. Nothing new was needed.

Oct 18 at 23:05, by DragonLord

Surprisingly enough, this house's old coax is providing very good signals on the cable modem.

unsurprisingly i still cant get these old crappy cables out of the damn walls :-)

There was no need for professional installation. Hooked up the modem, called to activate service, and everything was up and running within an hour of ordering service.

the cable company itself uses cabling that breaks down a lot slower (ox free, fatter size quality) the builder , just got his cable at homeDepot :-)

@bwDraco it is consistant with it, but what is the Know? how are we sure?

User intends to promote data recovery software. There's absolutely no doubt about it.

so far it also looks like the usual , used that software and ended up with the first few clusters :-) and no proper assembly of , for a proper recovery.

An attempt to sound neutral. That's a classic way to fool reviewers, but I'm not that easily fooled.

chkdsk is a virus?

6:01 AM

2 hours to go.

@JourneymanGeek ?

@Bob: oh

to my second interview

ahh

good luck

@JourneymanGeek Do you have a profile on angel ?

angel.co Startups seem to prefer it to LinkedIn

@HackToHell: Nope

6:13 AM

h2o.ai

my linkedin account is relatively lackadaisical too.

@JourneymanGeek Do create one there !

Yanno?

I'm still on my notice in lieu period ;p

I want teh nt 5.1 source code

but Ill never get it so bbl

6:56 AM

mine too

@JourneymanGeek, I mean my linkedin account :P

but then again, it's not really used too much around here

@Leathe well, my last job had me sign an NDA before I interviewed

So I've not talked about anything not public ;p

(Of course, I also had no idea what I knew in the way a HR person would read it ;p)

NDA before an interview? o.O

that's a bit tinfoil-hat-ish

Arrgh

drwxrwxr-x   2 root dc   4.0K Nov  4 00:44 data

This means that everyone in the group dc can read/write to the dolfer data right ?

dolfer. :-D

that's the same as 775 right?

chmod, I mean

if that's the case, then yeah. user has all privileges, group has all privileges and other has read+execute

aand it doesn't work

7:10 AM

hmm

i can't seem to figure out why

I am in the group dc

@HackToHell Assuming the entire path leading up to it has traverse (x) permissions on the directories.

meaning ? I can enter the dir, create a file but not a folder

@HackToHell did you just recently add yourself to the group?

@Bob You mean the root directory of that folder

Traverse is x ?

fffff

7:12 AM

@HackToHell I mean the entire path leading up to it.

That's the issue then

@Leathe Yep, restarted the shell

Works now thanks @bob and @Leathe

Loading up 23 gigs of data into hdfs, let's see how many nodes die :D

I was led to believe hdfs was reliable :P

It supposedly is, every time I restart the cluster some data node dies.

And this is on high end machines

And it dies because of syncing issues

I have to manually remove the data folder

8:28 AM

Whoa it went well

It's even synced perfectly across the nodes

screen doesn't work with su apparently :|

Woo tmux is easier

9:04 AM

Interview ended cause someone else needed the room. :p

@JourneymanGeek ...is that a good thing or bad thing? o.O

@JourneymanGeek Also, second interview at same company? Or second interview in job search?

9:25 AM

hnng. I have to start thinking about wtf I'm gonna do for my thesis

I was thinking about something to do with IoT

:F

but haven't really specified it further

9:36 AM

@Bob: It was about an hour so good, and same company

From the terminal run the command ubuntu-drivers devices and check whether the results offer you a proprietary graphics driver to install for your NVIDIA graphics card. Ubuntu usually runs faster than Windows on the same hardware, and as a result it also runs hotter than Windows. In this regard Ubuntu is a shill for the latest hardware. — karel 2 hours ago

> If you have Verizon, you can get the g4 for 452 bucks. Use code lgg4save at checkout. Lg also has a $200 rebate I'd you buy it from Verizon, so that's basically $252 for a flagship OFF CONTRACT phone.

o.O

@allquixotic ^ :P

@JourneymanGeek Ah. nice. So a decent chance?

@Leathe Uhm...

There's so much wrong there I don't know where to start.

indeed

@Bob: decent chance

Tho the interviewer was under the impression that they were interviewing for IT manager ;p

and some of the questions were waaaay out of tech support

@JourneymanGeek o.O

Then you accidentally get hired as an IT manager? :P

9:52 AM

Naw

I kinda told him I was interviewing for support

;p

next HTQ on superuser "I got accidentally hired as an IT-manger. what do?"

Naw, Workplace.

did I really type "manger" instead of "manager"? o.O

oh well

it's one of those days it seems

;p

IT-manger sounds like an ... ass... job.

o.O

10:06 AM

(A manger is what donkeys and horses feed off of right?)

uhh

Manger

A manger, or trough, is a feeder that is made of carved stone, wood, or metal construction and is used to hold food for animals (as in a stable). Mangers are mostly used in livestock raising. They are also used to feed wild animals, e.g., in nature reserves. The word comes from the French manger (meaning "to eat"), from Latin manducare (meaning "to chew"). A manger is also a Christian symbol, associated with nativity scenes where Mary, forced by necessity to stay in a stable instead of an inn, used a manger as a makeshift bed for the baby Jesus.
