I suspect Digicel's marketing dept could give you the realtime PNG population to 6 decimal places. Joking obviously, but only just.
So at first glance this looks pretty amazing, and you deserve kudos for your documentation quality alone! 2 comments. First, if you're going to lead with statements like "faster than x" - link to your benchmarks.…
Larping as a dba now, and trust me many of us do know, and its a source of ongoing suffering, but we're often not developers and don't necessarily have the choice of tooling. Right now the DB I'm paid to babysit…
I suspect part of it is licensing games, both in the sense of "avoiding per core license limits" which absolutely matters when your DB is costing a million bucks, and also in the 'enable the highest PVU score per…
On of my favourite hardware investments as a teenager trying to learn c and assembly under dos was a caching hard drive controller. It made those post crash reboots so much faster! Talk about solving the wrong problem...
You don't have to change you process, so you can still explain it rationally. Just leave off the "then I multiplied by 10" part. Which I did by accident once ( not by 10, but it was still substantial )... but it turned…
Only on some distro's. Debian variants tend to link dash, which self consciously limits itself to posix compatibility.
Yup. And teaching yourself and your tools to use them as delimiters is damn near a superpower for semi-structured/tabular text forms ( aka csv/tsv and co ). Issues with field definition, escaping, and embedded newlines…
Small team with a largely overlapping shared knowledge and attitudes. Which is not to say it isn't really nice, but I think the chances of it happening are in some way inversely proportional to the number of people…
Ha.. my linebreaks got removed!
\ linebreaks are not something I love,and a while ago I started using chained blocks.. These are usually a step between "overely complicated one liner" and structured script, and often get refactored to functions etc if…
That's very, very nice. I live in a world of Confluence tables, but it's nice to know that not everyone is suffering.
So, I guess it's only me who learned from the comments here that the was a difference between em dash and en dash? Or that they might be different from a hyphen or a minus? (In my defence, I don't work in any of the…
Have you seen vim syntax rules?
I don't think I have ever personally felt older than having someone describe anything docker related as "old-school"
You can buy them in Australia, or at least the bulbs sold here by philips as their "UltraEfficient" range look the same and match the specs of their Dubai bulbs marketing page. They don't appear to be available in the…
Having worked at an IBM shop, referring to ibm's x, p, i and z series by letter was pretty common, to the point of standard, and same with "our regular ibm customers". ( even if we only dealt with x and p, most folks…
Pfft. Let's talk about the rent before announcing where I live eh?
Last I looked, powershell's startup time on linux was disappointing. Understandable to an extent given it was bootstrapping a bunch of dotNET stuff that would already be there on windows. But slow enough that I couldn't…
It's not in any of the major distress but shout out to csv-nix-tools for a valiant effort in this space https://github.com/mslusarz/csv-nix-tools
Did they say why? It strikes me that those envs might be particularly prone to corporate inertia, ieg "the current way passed security audit, don't change it or we need to requalify" It's possibly also harder to rely on…
It's been a while since I was testing but sustained FUA ( Force Unit Access or something like that), writes, which are used by some DB's in stead of cache write + sync degrade consumer SSD'S to HDD levels of…
It first glance this seams really cool, but I have to wonder how much the use of timestamps increases the chances of duplicates.
Long time unix sysadmin here, now working as a dba. It amuses me quite a lot to see how my code changes when I'm thinking more with my "dba hat" or my "unix hat". The unix hat will make much more use of embedded…
Bash not so much, Ksh93 will do this, playing with has been a recent toy project. Typeset -b to specify a binary variable, rean -n/-N and print -v. It can be really quit surprisingly fast too, 4GB/sec reading /dev/zero…
