Working on a single-node job scheduler for Linux. Large HPC clusters use schedulers like SLURM or PBS to manage allocation of resources to users, but these systems are quite overki…

I also use a it this way, but instead I do 90/30 (work/break) as 90 minutes gives me enough time to finish most exercises and tests without having to hurry. I do around 4 to 5 sess…

I can tell you what I did, coming from a somewhat similar but different situation. I kind of over-promised for a small project, thinking that some electronics and little code could…

I guess I understand where you are coming from, but they way I understand it is that RH submits a bulk order for a stock and gets a quote from the MM, which the MM thinks is approp…

There are also seemingly companies, who just blatantly ignore such regulations.. https://brave.com/google-gdpr-workaround/

I was wondering if someone could explain the countermeasures for such an event. Obviously, as the article states, producers are being shut off in the regions with surplus, while dr…

> In that case it could be interesting to plan for future reinforcements, and continue to run the simulations as time passes and the situation evolves. While I agree that the idea …

This is the question that has been going through my head after I wrote the parent comment. I have never been in such a situation (at least not one where the stakes were relevant), …

Yeah, exactly. The thing is, where do you draw the line of what is statistically so unlikely that you can deem it improbable? If we run multiple different climate models through so…

How does this manifest in costs? Is it noticeable? And does rain rate mean the frequency of distinct rain events over hours/days or the intensity of a single rainfall? Just curious…

While I agree with the gist of this, the ones to finally call the shots on such projects are always in a bad spot. They underprovision and an anomaly happens. Now they are the ones…

In Germany, we have two different institutions: Universities (identical to US university I guess) and something called Fachhochschule (I don't know if there even is a correct trans…

This article surprised me since funding came from Softbank and not the state government as most does IIRC. Where I see the problem with all these forms of energy storage is that th…

There are a bunch of other technologies as well. Huge flywheels [1], which are supposed to be used for very responsive power needs (i.e. grid stabilisation), trains loaded with wei…

Do you think that it may be caused by use of comptime? I have not looked at the benchmark implementations, but that kind of struck me as a reason

Not such a big deal and something rather subjective: Due to Covid, my university started to upload recordings of all of my courses. This has been a godsend for me, as I did not att…

Out of curiosity I just did what you described - to me it seems like machine learning and everything surrounding it is the only hot topic right now. Would you agree or did I just l…

While this is likely not low cost, the Anvil[0] seems to be a reusable intercept drone. I have yet to see it in action, but I could imagine it looks pretty cool. I heard that the c…

At around 1:54:50, upon full landing thrust, the exhaust flames turn green. I know colored flames from chemistry classes, but I always assumed that was caused by certain salts. Roc…

This has been done in my last exam phase and has worked well. They cranked the AC to 11, which made it quite an unpleasant envirommemt, but I would rather wear a jacket than take o…

That is, well..., rather bad. I imagine if this trend prevails in the future, we will see your plumber asking you if he can charge his transporter and deducting their charging cost…

It is not only the analogy. I like to use Midi controllers which have hardware knobs mapped to software knobs for live performances. Sure, you could map a knob to a slider or anyth…

Calculus. The basics and ways of thinking stick quite well, but specific execution of some algorithms escape my head as soon as I don't use them anymore. I guess that's just the wa…

This might be a controversial topic with very different opinions, but what are some tips and trick for people who write code in a work setting, but are not trained software profess…

Can someone explain the reasoning for using a HAMT here? I have played around with hashtables quite a bit, but altough HAMT's are cool and a lot more memory efficient, they are lik…
