@munin A corollary for me is that you can never fix things bottom-up - it's pure myth. If something's broken in a team and you're not in a senior enough position to mandate fixes, leave that team.

All too easy for junior engineers to have blame put on them for things that are the fault of senior people or to imagine they can somehow fix things if only they proposed a brilliant enough idea.

@JamesAshburnerCBR @munin Absolutely love the P's though I heard it as 'Proper Preparation Prevents Piss-Poor Performance'. Mere pedantry however, the meaning of it is as clear as day.

Having to be a hero once could happen to anybody.

But absolutely refuse to work with anyone who makes a habit of it.

Heroism is an error condition: it means that problems were allowed to get bad enough that extraordinary intervention was required to address them.

It's symptomatic of a failure to understand and preempt hazardous situations, and implies either an inability to conduct operations safely or a lack of planning.

@vbabka @pavel no it's not uk policy to do this rather this lady's shit behaviour ;)

I think being from Czechia and knowing Brno (+ Ostrava God forbid) exists assuming 'Czech guy does X' means 'Czechia believes in X' could go a bit wrong for you ;)

@pony mine taking

obsidian is great.

BREAKING: C++26 will add destructive copy

@ljs @pony @lkundrak @vbabka Call 1-800-BORŠČ now.

@oleksandr @lkundrak @pony @vbabka Good Ukrainian ID? You use to identify 'Czech' and 'British' food that is actually Ukrainian?

@pony @lkundrak @vbabka MBR are never coming to Czechia. 'Too many oxes not enough great apes'

@lkundrak @pony @vbabka lol.

I assumed you meant chat GPT now I realise you were even cleverer

@lkundrak @pony @vbabka WHAT? FUCK YOU!

@kernellogger Also adds some new MAP_ and VM_ flags

@vbabka @cwayne haha yeah that I never ever forget, how do you think I don't slide on this?

@vbabka @lkundrak @pony the one that'll inevitably get cancelled because venue fucks up?

@vitaut yes and the linux kernel has much pcpu sage

DDR5 memory is a shambles. Bought 4x 64GB Corsair DIMMs advertised at 5200MHz, doesn't run at anything above 3600MHz. And nothing on the product page to say that the advertised clock speed is an overclocked speed that can't be achieved outside of very limited configurations.

This is my 2nd DDR5 build. The first was unstable at the default voltage (if I remember the details right from last year, the memory modules asked for 1.1v but the actual memory chips used were designed to run at 1.2v) and required a lot of faff to get it running.

I guess I just don't understand the computer parts market the way I used to. I used to know which numbers were "real" and which were manufacturer bullshit. Somewhere along the way the numbers advertised for RAM became bullshit and I must have missed the memo.

I think I'm going to give up and go with pre-built systems in the future. Life is too short to spend hours of it on PC component esoterica.

@pony good chap that
