To find the answer to life, the universe and everything?

To 5 decimal places....
I just finished like a 7 hour reshoot of our Apple-ish app video.
I'm so fucking exhausted. I should be paid so much more for this shit.
[QUOTE=David Tennant;37141547]Are you guys running the SSDs in AHCI? You need to run them in AHCI and have them connected to SATA3.[/QUOTE]
Yep, it's running in AHCI. I should update the firmware, but OCZ says it won't work with it being the boot drive. I'm getting 360MB/s on 1MB, so it's not bad.
I have updated my firmware but i didn't get any speed increase at all.
Could have just used a calculator Ehmmett, but apparently they bought 43 but there are 37 in the picture, they're waiting for the last 6 to arrive, they paid $43,000.
Possibly something to do with engineering going by the whiteboard.
So I had an... interesting few days.
Let's start with this one. For one of the things I'm doing, I need to set up a test server, needs to be local so I can hook a printer up to it. So my boss brings in his old home server.
By old, I mean "PowerPC G5 Xserve". Yeah. Shit got hot, and it was blowing right at me. Fun times.
The funny thing? When I booted it up, it started soooo many programs. Among them was uTorrent, which immediately resumed seeding several TV shows, a few movies, and some more videos that I'm fairly certain were porn. I didn't check, and after my boss walked by and noticed what was on the dock, he moved all his data over to another server - took 14 hours.
That night, we worked late. Like, way late - I left at 9:30-ish when my relief came to take over, and he was there until 2:00. And the bad part is, we didn't even finish what we needed to get done.
But the good part about working late?
You get to steal the monitors of any coworkers who've gone home. I was doing triple-monitor, and was tempted to grab another just because I could. Too bad I can't Eyefinity this shit - since one monitor is my laptop screen, which has a completely different pixel density than the other displays, I'm pretty sure it won't work.
And now for a programming story. I spent probably three hours today trying to track down a very odd bug - at one point, I rewrote all of my code for it and started over, and it *still* didn't go away. Finally traced it to a PHP/CodeIgniter/MySQL bug - I was setting variables to true (the boolean) in PHP, but when storing them in MySQL (in boolean columns) they were always showing as false. Turns out CodeIgniter was converting them to strings and escaping them (ie. 'update foo set bar = "true";', not 'update foo set bar = true;'). And apparently MySQL interprets any string as false in a boolean context. You would not believe how hard that was to figure out.
Oh god, if I can get a cable modem to the apartment I rented today, I can get like 110 megabits down speed. (You can get 300 down, but that's a bit... unnecessary and expensive).
I'll have to check tomorrow, can't remember the address of the apartment right now, and can't be arsed to get out of bed to check it.
[QUOTE=lavacano;37140801]i was wondering what was doing that
seems to be fixed now because I never did such a thing and I have no problems.[/QUOTE]
yeah, uh, when I said that? Apparently I lied. I guess the thingy Cloudflare did hadn't propagated to the servers I get my Facepunch from until now.

Before you people say anything, he was coming from a shitty laptop Core2 Duo.
What the fuck?
I'm doing coremark on a dual E5-2650 box and I stuck on the -mfma4 compiler option on, without thinking. Now fma is not implemented on Intel chips yet. But guess what. It gave me 40k more fucking points.
An extention that's NOT IMPLEMENTED YET ACTUALLY GAVE ME BETTER PERFORMANCE.
What the absolute fuck?
Everybody's dead, Dave.
Holy fuck, these have the same purpose? Now I see why I was told to get the one on the bottom.

Am I the only one who gets kinda pissed when people borrow your laptop and keep using the click button instead of just tapping the touchpad?
[editline]9th August 2012[/editline]
Or when they hold it by the screen, UGH

I'm surprised my old Lenovo 3000 N200 can withstand held by the screen.
If it's those incredibly clicky crap ones, god no...

I hate tapping the trackpad because half the time it will move the cursor just that little bit or do make it fly across the screen. Always one of the other, every laptop I've used.

Well it's not like my zenbook would break or anything, it just gets on my nerves.

Mmm I see your point.
I like my Thinkpad's nipple.
I like the buttons on my netbook, they're huge and if I could I'd disable "tap to click"
People holding notebooks by the screen should be imprisoned, that is so goddamned cringeworthy
Wow, FP completely hates working on my Firefox right now. What the shit.
Am I a bad person if I sometimes move my laptop around on my bed/desk by grabbing the screen and dragging it around? :v:
(though I prefer to grab the base if I can)
Oh hello can of compressed air.
Air meet computer, computer, air!
Now I just need to turn you off aaand.
fuck turning off. I am not going to do this shit.
I'm gonna install Vista on my thinkpad, it's been a while since I used that OS.

It might have triggered the code to optimize itself a different way, which (while intended to work best for FMA-supporting processors) happened to optimize it in general, or at least for your specific setup.

I'd have to agree. I think it's done some ordering intended for processors with heavy OoO.

Either way, it was a solid improvement. 30k coremarks.
Brought the dead EVGA GTX 670 to the shop I bought it at and they gave me a new one without question when I said it died. Nice.
