What are your requirements? I liked CalenGoo, I can live with aCalendar and BusinessCalendar.

Yeah, no lubricants and the look / style factor - that was my conclusion as well.

As for maintenance, while a belt might last 3 times as long, that’s not really a factor, given the price difference between belts and chains.

Exactly, which is why I was trying to think of any actual reasons I might want a belt, except style.

Are there any other reasons I’d want this apart from the lack of oil and the decreased noise levels, the coolness factor and the tinkering itself?

Every single one is a valid reason in itself of course, but maybe there is more.

I’ll post some links, but it’s a pretty busy week for me already, so give me some time.

An interrupt is an input that can be triggered to interrupt normal execution. It is used for e. g. hardware devices to signal the processor something has happened that requires timely processing, so that real-time behavior can be achieved (for variable definitions of real-time). Interrupts can also be triggered by software, and this explanation is a gross oversimplification, but that information is what is most likely relevant and interesting for your case at this point.

The commands you posted will sort the interrupts and output the one with the highest count (via head -1), thereby determining the interrupt that gets triggered the most. It will then disable that interrupt via the user-space interface to the ACPI interrupts.

One of the goals of ACPI is to provide a kind of general hardware abstraction without knowing the particular details about each and every hardware device. This is facilitated by offering (among other things), general purpose events - GPEs. One of these GPEs is being triggered a lot, and the processing of that interrupt is what causes your CPU spikes.

The changes you made will not persist after a reboot.

Since this is handled by kworker, you could try and investigate further via the workqueue tools: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/tools/workqueue

In general, Linux will detect if excessive GPEs are generated (look for the term “GPE storm” in your kernel log) and stop handling the interrupts by switching to polling. If that happens, or if the interrupts are manually disabled, the system might not react to certain events in a timely manner. What that means for each particular case depends on what the interrupts are being responsible for - hard to tell without additional details.

I shudder to think OP’s post was written by an actual person…

But it’s not just information, someone sat in front of their computer and put the work in to design it, then print it and iterate.

You’re paying for that process, and for the time and effort the person took to acquire the necessary skills.

However, there should be a noticeable price difference due to the easy scaling / replicatibility when distributing digital goods.

I’m with you insofar as the final product feels like it should be 3 bucks, not the file.

This, however, is about diagnostics, i. e. annotating delete with a reason (message) to express developer intent when deleting a function, not about memory management.

That dude is joking of course, but touching someone in a subtle manner can be used to both express and indicate interest.

If all else fails, entangle him with silk and consume him.

Based on this comment*, I’ll migrate a large project to bazel now. I’ll report how it goes.

• disclaimer: the comment just pushed me over the edge

I don’t hear it either, though.

For years, Intel’s compiler, math library MKL and their profiler, VTune, really only worked well with their own CPUs. There was in fact code that decreased performance if it detected a non-Intel CPU in place:

https://www.agner.org/optimize/blog/read.php?i=49&v=f

That later became part of a larger lawsuit, but since Intel is not discriminating against AMD directly, but rather against all other non-Intel CPUs, the result of the lawsuit was underwhelming. In fact, it’s still a problem today:

https://medium.com/codex/fixing-intel-compilers-unfair-cpu-dispatcher-part-1-2-4a4a367c8919

Given that the MKL is a widely used library, people also indirectly suffer from this if they buy an AMD CPU and utilize software that links against that library.

As someone working in low-level optimization, that was/is a shitty situation. I still bought an AMD CPU after the latest fiasco a couple of weeks ago.

This comment would be much better if it featured an explanation of your concerns with that particular opt setting.

People often believe they are hearing ultrasound, but instead are hearing clicking noise or sub-frequencies emitted from the capsule that are not actually part of the ultrasound.

Pixel 6 Pro worked marvelous for me all the time. I have the 8 Pro now, and now the fingerprint reader is a real mess.

But yeah, the reader on the back was perfect.

I think with a lot of import products you need to be aware that you’ll be doing the QA and will in fact be working on the parts / product to get it to where you need it to be.

If you have the skills and the tools $280 + $3 for an unfinished pulley plus some time on the lathe or mill can still be worth it. I know this is asking a lot from a customer and maybe this particular example of a printer is not the best, i. e. it would totally be possible to manufacture this part within specs at cost, but I think the general notion still holds true.

I watched a few videos before I realized Bobby Fingers is Mr. Chrome, and it made me unreasonably happy.

I don’t know what you think you’re seeing, but the airport is on the other side of the street.

I’ll let you know what I was seeing:

That’s an airport sign pointing the The Circle and they Hyatt airport hotels at Zurich airport. The whole complex is part of the Zurich airport, so I really have no idea what you are talking about. I mean, that’s literally how The Circle advertises itself:

I don’t doubt that there are also locals present, that’s how an airport works, after all. Honestly, we might just have a different opinion what constitutes being part of the airport though.

If it’s right across the street, why are there signs pointing to the different terminals in the building?

Honestly, I was about to comment how it’s kinda sad that people gather at a temple of capitalistic worship to watch a game (and an ugly one at that). I didn’t do it because my next thought was: hey, what if that’s their only option to experience a community for something they might enjoy and I left it at that. I mean come on, unless you’re kid and it’s the 80s or 90s, a mall is about the most soulless place on this earth.

Now I’m kinda glad it’s mostly just a bunch of travelers waiting at an airport that would otherwise miss the game.
