  • how do I know that you guys are real and not bots?

  • Eh, it's one of those perpetual rivalry things where the answer will probably never be known, and doesn't really matter except when it comes to petty squabbles between nations.

  • Wireless keyboard disconnects when idle for ~2 minutes

    Jump

  • That answers my question. If the USB dongle never disconnects from the machine, then I wouldn't expect anything to show in dmesg, as the 'sleep mode' is likely occurring downstream of the USB dongle.

    Are there any config utilities that came with it? Failing that, maybe wireshark the dongle and see if there is any sort of sleep/wake signal being passed back through to the host machine?

  • No I don't.

  • Sandisk WD Black SN8100 2TB SSD Review: The fastest overall consumer SSD ever made

    Jump

  • Many but not all will have a 'total TBW' metric, but that is more of a 'how many write cycles can this theoretically last' metric. What I am predominantly interested in is "how many TB can be written before sporadic write delays start occurring"

  • What is really meant by "programming" when people say they like to use linux for it?

    Jump

  • The best way to learn it, is to set yourself a goal/problem, define as best as possible how many unique issues that problem can be broken into, then start solving them one-by-one, periodically stopping to evaluate how they fit together.

    Learning the best languages and structures to use will come as result of this.

  • ^^ that person first though.

  • The thing that is always painfully missing from any benchmark, is an endurance test.

    I want to know how many TB I can write consecutively before the disk starts to degrade in performance and stop being useful. So far the only way I have been able to achieve this is to purchase a couple of every disk and stress them until failure, logging that interval, and selecting the winners for usage.

    I do not care about how fast it can write over the course of five minutes, I want to know how fast it can write over the course of five hours continuous usage.

  • To clarify, you have a dongle paired with this keyboard permanently attached to the machine?

  • Is there a way to encrypt or password-protect part of a video?

    Jump

  • This is a very broad question, the answer to which will almost definitely be "yes, but", so knowing what you are trying to achieve would be helpful.

    Jump

  • You don't. Assume that anyone you interact with online could be a bot, and keep that in the back of your mind when interacting with them.

  • How are roundabouts made?

    Jump

  • To get a step deeper into your "how can a machine draw a circle" question. Mostly it can't. Even with an open-loop control system dragging the 'pen' at a fixed angle, you would need to have defined that curve in software somewhere, where it will be a barely-noticable set of X-Y steps, not a pure curve, otherwise you cannot be sure it would return to the origin.

    Luckily, you only need a few decimals of pi to approximate that far beyond what any human eye could discern.

    Break any digitally defined curve down far enough and you will see those discrete steps, but with modern technology, we just never notice it.

  • New Zealand MPs who performed haka in parliament given unprecedented punishment

  • It can be both. Traditionally is was a 'war dance', but depending on the lyrics and context it can be used as welcoming, a farewell, or many such things. You would have to translate it to know.
