oh yeah if your engine timing is off it can make the whole system run really rough, even if it’s in otherwise superb condition. That throws a lot of newbies who don’t understand why none of their performance tuning seems to have any effect.
I ran above 3/1 for several years and I can’t recommend it, I spent most of that extra time trying to hack myself into charging mode, and the rest of it wishing I were properly charged and/or yearning for the deepest cycle charge. Now that I’m closer to 2/1 performance is significantly improved and the CPU sends deepest cycle charge requests a lot less frequently.
Most fast charging modes aren’t really fast charging anyway, it just distorts the meter so it reads as “fully charged” and ends the charging cycle when the battery is still at 50% or less. That’s where most of the performance issues come from IMO, people thinking they’re on a full charge when they’re in power saving mode.
There are also some fuel adjuvants that will increase your duty cycle in the short and mid term, but be careful because they can damage your filters and fuel lines and those are very expensive to replace if you can even find compatible hardware, which is a longshot.
EDIT: forgot to mention your fuel pump; people tend to overlook it until it gives out or gets clogged. That’s an expensive repair.
it’s clunky for sure. at least in microwave math all the place values are essentially interchangeable (you can easily convert n seconds to n/60 minutes, n/3600 hours, etc.) It gets weirder if you have place values that are not interchangeable, like if you have an n+_i_n place.
That is the perfect analogy for what this turned into, I was just sitting here musing on it as I wrote for a while. Thanks!
Time intervals, yeah. It’s called “microwave math” in the sidebar and I just followed that convention.
EDIT: I was specifically talking about intervals in the post, but I guess regular time is also a kind of microwave math. each instant of time can be expressed in multiple ways too, like using the ISO-8601 format (yyyy:mm:dd:hh:mm:ss.sss, which is basically an interval from 0000:01:01:00:00:00.000) or using the Unix epoch (The interval in seconds from 1970:01:01:00:00:00.000). Now that I think about it I’m not sure how one would express time without it being an interval from some agreed-upon origin point. It’s also weird that hours, minutes, and seconds are zero-indexed but days and months are 1-indexed.
Yeah fair. The idea seemed pretty self contained when I started writing (oh if you decouple the number system from the place value system you get multiple representations of the same value, neat), as I got going I had to keep editing it as I thought more about it. I was just trying to explain the showerthought and it spiraled from there.
I find they’re faster too. Another benefit of them being distributed is the distributor doesn’t have to pay for all the bandwidth for every download, which I understand can be a considerable savings for smaller distros.
what client is that?
Haven’t looked at my ratios in a while
I see what you mean. In my experience of the internet it’s called “The Streisand Effect” only when the person complaining about something (and therefore giving an issue attention that it otherwise wouldn’t have received) is generally considered to be “in the wrong” on the issue. I can’t think of a case where someone received blowback for speaking up about an issue (professional repercussions, exclusion from social circles, “cancelling” by various parties, w/e) but was considered to be in the right by the the people calling it “The Streisand Effect”. It feels like there’s a necessary component of “you complained about something you shouldn’t have and were justly punished for it” schadenfreude attached to the term that differentiates it: if you don’t have that you’re just bravely and correctly shining a light on an injustice and it’s not called “The Streisand Effect”, it’s just raising awareness or something.
I think you’re being downvoted because the victim of the alleged injustice complaining about that injustice and then deserving the backlash is baked into the term, and calling it “victim blaming” feels off, but it technically is, it’s just that calling something “The Streisand Effect” implies that the “victim” in the situation deserved what they got because they complained about something trivial, or an effect of privilege, or some other thing that, in the eyes of the public, makes them unworthy of sympathy. But I think carrying that implication of guilt means that it is, technically, victim blaming, and the person using the term “The Streisand Effect” implicitly agrees that the victim deserves blame for their actions. And knowing the internet, I doubt this assessment is correct 100% of the time.
I’m curious to see if other people agree with this assessment. I haven’t done any research on whether my experience of the term is shared by other people, so this may not be a strong theory. Just a thought that spawned off your comment. But it is an interesting perspective.
Ah makes sense. Thanks!
Very cool, thanks. I migrated from top to htop a while ago and never looked back, but I occasionally have to use machines that don’t have htop so it might be time to get familiar with the default tooling.
Why do they say that SIGKILL bad practice? I use it as the second tap if a SIGTERM doesn’t knock something out. The link in the article is 404ing.
I think it has to do with the kinds of stories these characters are used to tell. Batman is a tortured billionaire who tries to use his vast resources to solve the problem of crime single-handedly, and he keeps people at arm’s length because he’s afraid that personal ties will endanger the mission he’s given himself (or something like that, Batman scholars feel free to chime in if I got it wrong.). Spiderman is a story about a broke kid trying to make a difference in the world with the limited resources he has. Similar goals for both characters, but different preconditions make the stories meaningfully different.
I think these flaws are what endear fans to a particular character because they struggle with the same problems (overly self-reliant, broke as hell) and if you have a character grow past them, you’re now telling a meaningfully different story. Might still be an interesting story, but I get why people who love these characters would consider some changes to be dealbreakers.
This is kind of a foundational feature of serialized character stories: if you want to keep telling stories about the same characters over and over again, they can’t fundamentally learn or grow or change meaningfully, not permanently anyway, because then the appeal of the character fundamentally changes, so you get characters like Batman who are stuck in this sitcom-y eternal purgatory of constantly slamming their heads against their own limitations, and still failing to grasp the root issue. And really I think, it’s not for them to figure out. Their stories are there so that we can see our own flaws in them, and learn from them. And once we have, Batman will still be out there, being a lonely nerd for other lonely nerds to identify with.
They’re intentionally easy questions because ego stroking is a tried and true way to farm engagement. Like those old ads that went like:
99% of MIT students got this question WRONG! can YOU do better?
3 + 8 / 2 = ?

My only regret is that I can’t really do hands or any other body parts.
When I went to buy fancy cologne for a wedding they had little bowls of coffee beans that were supposed to be palate cleansers. I cannot vouch for how well they worked, I felt like my nose was blown out after a few samples.
