Faced with the reduced supply of urea, the capitalist market has a solution.
The pun Oro - Orina Is lost in translation: Gold - Urine.
The cartoon is of a pawnbroker's that previously bought gold items, with a queue of people waiting to sell their piss.
Not so far fetched!

#Tampere two weeks ago. Bikes on the frozen lake. And a queue.

@… seems like the queue isn’t going to the priority podcasts like it used to. Anything I can do to help you debug?

The rewrite of the Sisyphus server continues, I've got all of the GET endpoints and about 60% of all the endpoints finished overall. Some initial testing on the `/workers` and `/queue` endpoints show some worrying results from the old version and some great results from the new version. The `/workers` endpoint started throwing errors at about 800 RPS on the Python/Flask version (the old one), the rewrite is showing around 4800 RPS (Golang/Gin). The `/queue` endpoint doesn't show a…

"Kristi Noem tried to upstage the President. And Trump would never stand for that.
You can run an agency into the ground, and trample all over Americans’ constitutional rights, and use government funding like it’s your own personal slush fund. But you absolutely cannot steal Trump’s spotlight."

Documentation continues. Done with the `queue` and `worker` endpoints, probably about 50% of the way done with this. I still need a good way to package all of this up with the binary which means putting the `openapi.yaml` file somewhere on the net so it can be pulled if need be. I'll deal with that later...lol

OK so now I have a hundred-odd lines of Bash and a 25-line slurm.conf that is able to queue up a build job (https://github.com/ngscopeclient/scopehal-ci-scripts), wait for the node to be free, spawn the VM, wait for it to boot, launch the actual test script on the VM, shut it down,…

You know that guy who submits the 5000-line diffs for review and says "don't worry, it's fine"?
I ran into one of those today at work.
I "returned to queue" five such Christmas Eve diffs from him. I marked each, with increasing directness, with "make this a series of changes that I can understand"
Then it turns out he's gone off on PTO and probably won't be coming back. Gah.

The queue is moving. Slowly, but unstoppable.

So, decided to get them rookie `/queue` numbers up so did a quick bit of caching. For a 12-job queue, I went from 240 RPS (Python/Flask) to 680 (Golang/Gin) then to 3400 RPS with some proper caching. The `/workers` endpoint would benefit as well, but I think its performant enough though I may end up adding a bit of caching later.

🎜 When's the chorus? You may well ask. I'm sure it's long overdue.
🎝 Don't hold your breath. Hmm: 42 poudriere jobs ahead in the queue.
🎜 It's all good, I'll just skip the chorus. Build my own stuff from ports.
🎝 So, what's up next? What's new? I dunno. Oh, right! pkgbase, of course.

Any #writers on here in groups that have a good system for managing submissions and critiques? like we could do more with tech e.g. a task prioritisation queue, rather than a month for submissions, a month for feedback, which feels clunky

The self-order screens in Shake Shack require you to read the full Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. But the people behind me in the queue got unreasonably annoyed at me for trying, so I chose to cancel and go elsewhere.

It's running, but in addition to the network storage problem that I still need to solve, it shows a strange quirk:
When I click on a song in the webUI, it only plays 2-3 seconds of it and then stops. If there are more songs in the queue, it plays the rest of them properly. If I skip to the first song again via the "previous" button, it plays it comp…

Microscope food! Pair of fried FPGAs sent to me for decap.
Gonna sit in the queue for a while until I figure out the best way to handle advanced packaging without too much risk of damage.
I know the Virtex is multiple SLRs on an interposer. Zynq might be monolithic.

Now the pain in the ass part: documenting all of the routes. I think I'm gonna use Scalar because it's easy and I'm pretty lazy. Carved off the `/doc` directory to host the `openapi.yaml` and `index.html` files. So far, got one single endpoint documented...lol

One of my VR Lighthouses died last month. These things are gyroscopically spinning 24 hours a day for, what, a decade now? Nearly.
No wonder. Mostly the industry seems to be settling on using head-mounted cameras rather than sweeping infra-red beams and receptors on the head anyway.
It is true that lighthouses give accurate positioning, but means I can't easily take the headset next door, say. Or to a party.
So inside-out, as they call it, is fine for the headset now and mostly okay for the hand-controllers.
But it offers no solution at all for the foot-trackers and hip-tracker that I need for puppetting the characters in the #vr #slimeVR #trackers
