What Do YOU Do, ... When the THRILL is Gone?
GammaGlobulin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
A troll is a person who posts P&G when PNG should have been posted. This is P&G: This is PNG: Trolls sometimes confuse these two places. Still, Trolls can be forgiven for doing so, obviously. -

So very interesting that you should mention this... Just because... I now have BB KING cranked up so loud (with my 10 loudspeakers)... That I can feel BB KING's guitar vibrating my balls. This is what I call interesting. I FEEL the RESONANCE. MY BALLS ARE NOW RESONATING.... Not sure the exact frequency.... (I think it must be my two SUBWOOFERs that are making my Oysters wobble.) -

If you wish an uncontrollable environment, then why stay in Isaan? Given your love of environmental instability, you should move to the East Coast of Taiwan. You will enjoy never-ending earthquakes and typhoons, soon after arrival. Take your Thai GF with you, too. No doubt, she will thank you for it. -

I bet you never sold a WEATHERBY MARK V SAFARI CUSTOM SHOP .460 WBY MAG Or, have you ever even fired one? Some say it might be overkill. But, then, it all depends upon what one is hunting... I had one. I lost it. My warm gun. I have never shot a heavier one. Gave me so much pleasure. Every time. I almost came Every time I pulled the trigger. -

Been there. Done that. IFR The problem with learning to fly is... Once you learn to fly... Then, you gotta decide where to fly. Otherwise, you just fly around in circles, Practicing takeoffs and landings. Sometimes, you go on night flights. Sometimes, you practice emergency landings. After awhile... The thrill is gone. -

Wow, Man, I have NO Time ... I have NO Time to reply to you... Instead... Just enjoy the music... Or... Go back to school. Yes, I know the video does not answer your question, entirely. However, just enjoy the music. Or... Buy this.... I plan to buy one. Why? Just, to minimize THRASHING... Of COURSE! -

My Friends, Do you ever get the feeling that the thrill is gone? How do you counteract these negative feelings? Any thoughts? (Any thoughts besides...listening to BB King?) I think our friends are now returning.... Nothing remains the same. Life, by its very nature, is always evolving. Natural Selection, and all that.... -

I have only One piece of FINAL advice for you: IF you might ever aspire to become a scientist, then you will need to constantly remind yourself to do one thing: You will need to refrain from making blanket statements, no matter how difficult this may be for you. Blanket statements (especially when they are blatantly false, as in your case) can never be logically defended. This is why you are not a scientist. And, this is one of several reasons why scientists do not make blanket statements. The above is my gift to you. But let it not be said that you have not, also, given me a great gift this morning, and I am most grateful for that which I have received. Your gift to me was to remind me what I once knew, but had forgotten. I am speaking of a humorous but true observation made by my friend, Mark Twain, who quipped: “Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference." But this fond remembrance of Twain's quote was not your only gift to me, today. You have also reminded me, once again, but more forcefully, of the fact that time is precious; And the time that we have should not be wasted following what some would consider to be... TRIVIAL PURSUITS -

"The following animation demonstrates how SSD drives can thrash in the presence of random writes; it is a part of Working with cheap flash drives by Arnd Bergmann." https://lwn.net/Articles/428799/ a. Everybody knows that "thrashing" can occur NOT ONLY in the HDD context. (Everybody BUT you, it seems.) b. If you need further evidence that YOUR STATEMENT, quoted above, is FALSE...then...please just click on these links, and read further: c. Of course, I realize that no matter how many sources I reference, you will never be satisfied. But this is not my fault. And, the misconception is not mine. Here, in the above case, the article is about a decade old. Still, this short article is speaking of thrashing on SSDs, which is something that you stated NEVER HAPPENS. (FALSE) -

GammaGlobulin replied to BenStark's topic in IT and Computers
I am VERY WELL AWARE of how this term THRASHING came to be used. I have been using HDDs for a long time. I have ears, too, and I know the sound. However, I was not referring to HDD thrashing. I was referring to I/O limitations. I was referring to increasing main memory. I was referring to using a RAMDISK by utilizing some of the 64GB of DDR4 memory, which would reduce read/writes to SSD/HDD when doing heavy multitasking, maybe with AUTOCAD running, or whatever, while also using an internet browser. The point is that you stated that THRASHING is a term applied only in the context of HDDs. And...this is FALSE. You can read your statement, above. Your comment is still in this Topic, for all to see. -

GammaGlobulin replied to BenStark's topic in IT and Computers
I stated that increasing RAM would reduce thrashing: "b. I can also use part of the 64 GB to create a RAMDISK and work SUPER FAST. No more THRASHING of read/writes to SSD or HDD, and this means that my internet experience will be much improved." And, this is TRUE. You stated that this was nonsense. You also stated that thrashing does not occur on solid-state-devices. (This is FALSE) Do you wish to re-think your opinion of what may or may not be nonsense? Please refer to this definition of THRASHING: What does this state? "The term may also be used to refer to any situation in which multiple processes are competing for the same resource, and the excessive swapping back and forth between connections causes a slowdown." This is no more, and no less, than I stated in my original comment. Yet, you seem to disagree. Why? Everybody knows that this is true. Why don't you? -

Here is an example of Processor Cache thrashing which does NOT involve any HDD. Or, is this also too simplistic for you? Seems you are wrong...again. The term "thrashing" is still alive and well, and still being used by IT-CIS guys around the world... -

For some reason, you are just not able/willing to understand the very basic concept of the word first used by me in this Topic...THRASHING. And so, let me try again, because I do not wish to have you think that what I stated, originally, is incorrect: "Thrashing can occur in any type of computer architecture, including HDDs, SSDs, and RAM. However, it is more likely to occur in systems with limited memory, such as laptops and mobile devices." YES! This is exactly what I have already stated MANY times. If you want to know more, then you can read the following... "The technical term for thrashing in computer science is thrashing. It is a condition in which a computer system spends a significant amount of time swapping memory pages between main memory and virtual memory, which can cause a significant decrease in performance. Thrashing can occur in a variety of ways, but it is most commonly caused by: Insufficient memory: If a computer system does not have enough memory to store all of the active processes, it will start swapping pages between main memory and virtual memory. This can cause thrashing, as the CPU will be constantly interrupted by page faults. Too many processes: If a computer system has too many active processes, it can also cause thrashing. This is because the CPU will be constantly switching between processes, which will also lead to page faults. Poor page replacement algorithm: The page replacement algorithm is the method used by the operating system to decide which pages to swap out of main memory. If the page replacement algorithm is not efficient, it can lead to thrashing. Thrashing can have a significant impact on computer performance. It can cause the following problems: Slow response time: Thrashing can cause the computer to respond slowly to user requests. This is because the CPU will be spending most of its time swapping pages, rather than executing instructions. High CPU usage: Thrashing can cause the CPU usage to spike. This is because the CPU will be constantly interrupted by page faults. High disk usage: Thrashing can also cause the disk usage to spike. This is because the operating system will be constantly writing and reading pages to and from disk. Thrashing can occur in any type of computer architecture, including HDDs, SSDs, and RAM. However, it is more likely to occur in systems with limited memory, such as laptops and mobile devices." I can agree that it would be more authoritative if I were to quote and reference academic literature on this question, and so.... If the commenter PERSISTS in spouting inaccurate information, then I will have no other recourse besides quoting from several respected Linux/Windows reference resources which I have stored on my HDD-SSD-GoogleDRIVE. Why this guy is so hellbent on promoting misunderstanding of such a simple computer-science concept is completely beyond me. Or, maybe I can guess, too. He asked where I began learning what little I know about computer science? Well....HERE, for one: https://www.cis.upenn.edu/ -
I DID! Did I not state...GOOD INFORMATION!? It IS good information! It is IMPORTANT information. So thank you.
