Just doubled performance of the ngscopeclient CDR PLL on some workloads by fixing a bug causing it to run twice.
The PLL starts out with a small output buffer (since it doesn't know how much it's oversampling the input) then if it needs to generate more clock edges than the buffer can hold will expand the buffer and re-run. The size of the previous output is saved so next time it can make a better estimate of how much to allocate.
This adaptive sizing step is supposed to …

We’ve been making some changes to our permanent collection galleries. After a successful four-year run, all but one of the artworks on loan from the Terra Foundation for American Art’s collection have left the Georgia Museum of Art’s galleries (the John Singleton Copley is staying a bit longer). The good news is that these departures created opportunities to reinterpret our existing installations with exciting new loans and rarely displayed works from our permanent collection.

The house I live in is old and moisture has been a constant problem in the basement. At the same time, a dehumidifier has been too expensive to run all the time. I finally have the setup I was hoping for: My raspberry pi gets the electricity prices for the day, and if the price is below a certain point, the dehumidifier turns on thanks to a Shelly S plug controlled by the pi. If it isn’t too moist, the dehumidifier stops by itself. Once the price increases too much, the Shelly-plug is turned…

TIL: If you run a MySQL docker container with a locally mounted data directory, it will inherit the case sensitivity of the HOST OS, not the one inside the container. Yes, even on Mac.
... Which is why my DB name became case sensitive on GHA but wasn't on my local machine.
I hate technology. Can we fix this BS before we destroy the world for bigger autocomplete?

I grew up in Stubaital, a valley in Austria. It was only a few years ago that I realized Wuppertal isn't a valley but a city.

Starting to bring up the PicOS switch.
Interesting findings so far... changing port breakout mode requires a reboot (not uncommon, so do most of my other switches).
More annoying is that breakout ports all have to run at the same speed, you can't mix 1G and 10G subinterfaces on a QSFP breakout, or 10G and 25G on a QSFP28.
Not a HUGE deal, I can just pick one quad to break out in 1G mode for those ports, but it does mean for a lab environment switching speeds back and fo…

So far, the president’s plot to subvert the integrity of the midterm elections looks like this:

Knowing that this is a blatantly unconstitutional seizure of the states’ prerogative to run their own elections,
count on a federal court to block the rule.
