@phooky no one dangled from the crane today, although the workers rode the lift when we moved a few months ago.
@ada @68km @ajroach42 although it is counter-intuitive to me that *writing* at a higher temperature gives longer data retention. That seems backwards.
@ada @68km @ajroach42 yeah, it is thje other way around: "Active Temp" is the temp that it was run at for its lifetime, "Power off temp" is the storage. So Running at 55C but storing at 25C gives you at least 400 weeks of error-free powered-off data retention.
@68km @ajroach42 not sure about SD cards, but it is a definite concern with enterprise SSD workloads. JEDEC only requires 13-week retention (52 for client class devices) without power: https://www.jedec.org/sites/default/files/Alvin_Cox%20%5bCompatibility%20Mode%5d_0.pdf
Watching the NASA live stream of the Perseverance rover landing now and marveling at how far we have come since the first hand-drawn image from the surface of Mars in 1965. https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/resources/693/first-tv-image-of-mars-hand-colored/
@phooky rowing faster triggered an integer overflow in the fixed-point sensor processing code, so I rewrote it to use `float`s because it is no longer 1995 and microcontrollers now have FPUs.
@phooky jacking into cyberspace via a "_Nokia Shanghai Bell_" cable modem is evidence that we have entered a Gibsonian Zaibatsu universe.
Xfce4 is causing weird checkerboard artifacts for a single frame when chrome renders a tab or sometimes while scrolling. Any ideas how to fix it?
Days like this I'm glad that we didn't move onto the lightship in Amsterdam Noord.
