tbh on the backend they're called guilds:

Microsoft has this which contains some nice pointers https://microsoft.github.io/code-with-engineering-playbook/

I setup the agent a few days ago just for fun, however it seems to have stalled/not getting new jobs.

Are you running the watchtower (for automatic updates) as well? Otherwise, a restart should update it.

my 10900k uses like 200-250 watt when it´s pushed. The newer 13900k has PL1/PL2 power limits of 125W and 253W, even then it has peaks of 350 watt from what I can read.

Wow. And I'm unhappy with laptops that require more than 60W USB-C PD.

On: Has the Time for 32GB of RAM Finally Come?

[doommius]

It's dropping but way slower than it used to.

The memory requirements for pc are from my understanding due to PC often multi tasking next to the game, chrome, discord, mail client, music, twitch, the list goes on.

On: Books are physically changing because of inflation

Printed books - > 300-400 € per semester. Ebooks from questionable sites - > free. + more and more material is from papers instead of books so pdf were easier unless you wanted to pay 20 cent per page printed at the university printers.

As a student (or even researcher), you often gets these papers from similarly "questionable" websites because the typical university subscription for academic journals is not as encompassing as you need it for your studies/work.

[Markoff → doommius]

By questionable you mean unofficial, right? Because your wording seems to imply these sites are somehow bad.

[topynate → Markoff]

No, 'unofficial' is a euphemism. They're questionable. It's just that sometimes the answer to the question is "who gives a damn?"

[kriops → Markoff]

They’re illegal.

[Markoff → kriops]

That entirely depends on the country.

On: No, YouTube, I will not subscribe to Premium

[doommius]

The hours of content and supporting the creators way more. YouTube music is included. it's not as good as Spotify but it works well enough, google play music was 100x better. still a bit bummed over that they canned it.

[dt2m → doommius]

Hot take - the YouTube Music suggestions algorithm is miles ahead of Spotify and Apple music if your tastes deviate a bit from mainstream music.

[doommius → dt2m]

True. I actually use it all the time. take a long i like -> start radio and just leave it for the day/week

Tbh it makes sense. Streaming High fidelity content, eg 4k, HDR, surround sound can require upwards of 120 Mbit/s or more. And with more devices coming online it makes sense. It always requires providers to upgrade their dated infra thus improving reliability, quality and capasity in the network.

[hulitu → doommius]

Google can do it in a couple of kb/s.

On: What I wish someone would have told me about using...

[doommius]

Yup. Did my masters thesis on Jepsen tests and there's a huge discrepancy on how most people perceive databases, consistency models and their actual behavior. Also just driver implementations, cluster configuration and other oddities that might bring chaos and disaster out of nowhere.

[vimwizard → doommius]

Redpanda talk was pretty interesting. Apparently some documentation on certain client settings is flat out wrong regarding consistency guarantees, IIRC written by Confluent.

[northstar702 → doommius]

is your thesis available to read? Jepsen and these concepts for databases are certainly very different from those for kafa, as we heard from Kyle during the Jepsen testing for Redpanda. Someone needs to write about those perceptions!

On: Wireless is a trap (2020)

[doommius]

Yup. Also just mostly wireless equipment is super low quality. It's easy to see this when living downtown in any larger city. You'll easily be competing with 100s of other APs for the 2.4 ghz wireless band. With tbr 5 and 6 ghz this is getting better but there still isn't nearly enough channels.
