I'm one of about three people in my class who can type competently, everyone else is around 40WPM and we're 90, 110 and 130 respectively. :v:

If you shoot them an email quick you might still be able to grab one. It took about a day for the order for a fountain pen I bought to be submitted.

they are even more amazed when you type fast on a phone
I discovered last night I type like 3 times faster on my phone after 3 beers

I find that my speed on a keyboard transfers somewhat onto the phone. I make more errors but I know where all the keys are so I type faster as a result.

I can type max 80, but my accuracy drops, so I tend to type around 70. I tend you have my thumbs on the spacebar, pinky on shift and backspace, middle fingers on a,w,d and j,0,-
It's weird but it works. I could likely get into the hundreds if I placed my fingers correctly.
I asked this in the Quick Questions thread, but it's a little too quiet over there.
Can someone explain to me why I get horribly lower framerates and screen tearing when I have windows open on both of my monitors? When I have only stuff on a single monitor everything's fine and smooth, and in games it's not an issue at all. I'm using a GTX 760 so I know it's not a hardware related issue.
I hear it has something to do with something called horizontal span, or mosaic (I hear both terms thrown around) and both are incompatible with my system.
The 80:20 rule is so strong on this assignment.
Plus the marking criteria is not skewed to motivating me:

Well, Data redundancy is a good thing. So there's that.
Oh right, I did this because as long as the school can access these files, they won't throw a fit when I go onto OneDrive because something about the school legally owning files and being unable to monitor files.
Plus side, multiple ways to share files.

I think I might need to do some more optimization work on this webservice call. And yes, this is actually the second version of it - the first was even slower.
Thinking of it now, in short the teacher that told me could be summed up as this, "You made this? Then we can claim it as ours so yeah."

Financial report. Just the start and end cumulative balances for one account type on one day (basically, how much was in everyone's debit account).
Unfortunately, there's over a quarter million of those accounts in this case, and there's a nasty subselect in the query to avoid an even worse group by, so performance is naturally going to be a bit "meh". We can't do the obvious "keep a log of the cumulative balances over time" because we allow back-dated transactions which will quickly fuck those logs up, and we can't afford to slow transaction processing to update those logs (*those* webservices are fast - we get complaints if they're over a second at peak load).
I did the second version extremely quickly, because the old version was not just slow, but a memory hog, killing our DB server (which lead to slow transaction performance, which leads to angry phone calls). So when I looked at it now, I noticed that we're still doing a join that's no longer necessary (I'd moved it to another query), and that there's no index on a column that is now performance-critical. So I should be able to get it to under half an hour.
It's usably fast for less common accounts, or in smaller installations. But I was testing on one particular client's installation, and they're both the second-largest by userbase and *the* largest by log size, and I was testing with their biggest account. This was also on our test server, not prod, which makes it even slower.
But hey, at least I have photographic evidence of why I didn't get much done today.
Oh, and technically this is the third version, not the second, because someone else wrote one before we did a complete reports rewrite. That one took hours to run on our *first* customer, who has less than 20,000 accounts.
Also I type about 65wpm (and have a really odd hand layout, spacebar is hit by the right index finger) in those typing tests but it's probably more when I'm typing what I'm thinking instead of typing what I'm reading

Snapdragon? That seems inexplicable unless they're putting DX12 on Windows Phone as well (or at least Windows RT). So, perfectly explicable then.
Actually yes. 3 beers just gets me buzzed. 4-5 beers might start negatively affecting me though. :v:

Going through my Lumia 1020's update packages, WP does use a modified DX11 and it's QCOM themselves that write the drivers for it. But I think they just put them there to fill space.

i've been here for countless threads and i had to scroll down to see my rank
i guess that shows how little i contribute to this society as well as the real one, eh
Since I'm cluttering up the thread anyways, here's another story:
We got calls Monday bitching about bad system performance. Our "cloud" is set up with two load-balanced web servers, two mostly load-balanced core servers (some shit like cron tasks run on only Core 1, for reasons), and client-specific DB servers with warm backups (most are shoved onto one server, but three have their own DB servers due to their size).
Normally it's the DB that's the bottleneck, but no, it was running fine. Web is barely ever used, so we weren't surprised to see 0.0 load on them either.
But Core 1 was running at 300%, while Core 2 was idling. Why?
Well, turns out our load balancer had sticky sessions enabled - once an IP was routed to one of the pair, it would use it until the load balancer restarted. We must have turned it on thinking it would help with cache locality, but we never actually got memcache implemented.
And by some freak alignment of the stars, every single request was getting routed to Core 1. Every single one. On top of that, we had some oddly-slow cron tasks that were blowing up CPU usage.
So yeah, we're fixing the load balancer issues tonight, and possibly spinning up a new VM as Core 3 to help out more.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;44144500]How in gods name does this happen?[/QUOTE]
You're going to have to be more specific than that.
FUCK FUCK FUCK
I shrank the main partition on my secondary drive so I could put a recovery partition on it, then when I selected the new 5gb partition for the backup drive, windows decided to make it 32gb and DELETE THE ENTIRE OTHER PARTITION. Now this drive had everything of mine. Steam library, music, pics, EVERYTHING. It was my backup, as I was reinstalling windows on my main drive.
I know last time something like this happened I found some tool to recover the old deleted mbr and since the data wasnt written over it I could retrieve it again. I cannot find said tool again. Does anyone know of something I could use to get my shit back?
if not Im FUCKED.
