Agreed. My copy lost this documentation link in the original which gives more detail about the horizontal scaling: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/horizontal_scaling.html.

It seems really straightforward (which is a good thing), each backend Lemmy_server handles incoming requests and also pulls from a shared queue of other federation work.

Time zones are an endless source of frustration, this one doesn’t sound too bad though:

Going forward, all timestamps in the API are switching from timestamps without time zone (2023-09-27T12:29:59.113132) to ISO8601 timestamps (e.g. 2023-10-29T15:10:51.557399+01:00 or Z suffix). In order to be compatible with both 0.18 and 0.19, parse the timestamp as ISO8601 and add a Z suffix if it fails (for older versions).

Oh sorry I mixed that up, the Wurkkos rep called it “bead-blasted” but that sounds more like stonewashed than brushed.

There were also some alternate finishes for the previews, maybe one will make it into production.

Real RGB? Does this mean we can now control the color?

That’s right, check out https://lemmy.world/post/3287635 for some pics.

I was confused about the engraving but I like your idea to ask for “no engraving” as the option. Only the first 30 get a custom one so maybe everyone else will have the logo engraving.

Olight Obulb looks good for kids. Max 55 lumens and sustains close to that for 3 hours (review), waterproof and with a kid-friendly appearance. $20 on amazon currently.

These don’t provide much illumination but the Niteize rechargeable glow sticks are good kid lights too.

This is a big part of why I like Convoy, they’re relatively inexpensive enough to have a few backups for the inevitable ones that get lost.

This data structure uses a 2-dimensional array to store data, documented in this scala implementation: https://github.com/twitter/algebird/blob/develop/algebird-core/src/main/scala/com/twitter/algebird/CountMinSketch.scala. I’m still trying to understand it as well.

Similar to your idea, I had thought that by using k bloom filters, each with their own hash function and bit array, one could store an approximate count up to k for each key, which also might be wasteful or a naïve solution.

ts12

Late reply but now I realize they should have just made a 14500 version of the ts11, even without aux sft40 or W1 would have been neat with this host.

Been looking for a primary source but the manual doesn’t specifically mention candle mode, only tactical strobe

• Tactical strobe Disorienting strobe light. Can be used to irritate people. Speed is configurable, and the duty cycle is always 33%. Be careful about heat in this mode, if using it for a long time.

And then other places people mention this also applies to candle mode (like this BLF post).

Thanks for these!

I haven’t used them in Spark directly but here’s how they are used for computing sparse joins in a similar data processing framework:

Let’s say you want to join some data “tables” A and B. When B has many more unique keys than are present in A, computing “A inner join B” would require lots of shuffling if B, including those extra keys.

Knowing this, you can add a step before the join to compute a bloom filter of the keys in A, then apply the filter to B. Now the join from A to B-filtered only considers relevant keys from B, hopefully now with much less total computation than the original join.

Collage sounds really interesting , will check it out. Another variation on bloom filter I recently learned about is count-min-sketch. It allows for storing/incrementing a count along with each key, and can answer “probably in set with count greater than _”, “definitely not in set”.

Thanks for adding more detail on the DB use-cases!

A more focused throw channel with the same color temperature as the flood channel would be great.

Sft-70 is 6 volt right? Otherwise this would seem like the perfect spot for an sft-40 3000k.

Well yes, but this is an internet forum for flashlights. That’s pretty weird too.

Thanks! I’ve seen some of your great posts and LED swap mods on BLF. These are well-photographed, something which is more difficult than I realized once I tried taking some photos of lights, with phones being so good now at taking pics of people and landscapes.

I do have a ts10 in the rotation (plus two extras from when Terry from Wurkkos said the anodized colors were being discontinued) and it is as good as everyone says, although I only like it in 5700k.

The reflector of the flashlight is built so light coming from a very small source (like the filament of an incandescent bulb) is directed forward in a focused beam.

I agree, but I also think that using a modern LED with a single source of forward-facing light is fine. However the emitter would need to be properly positioned in the light.

Here’s a very similar host (from one of the best low-cost flashlight makers) showing a properly aligned LED and reflector:

I found a few references to this exact model on candlepowerforums.com which I believe has more folks who own(ed) incandescent lights. Not that has been such a long time, but LED technology advanced very quickly. Not sure if that will help your search.

There’s also a few people over on !flashlight@lemmy.world !

Not only a great review(er) but the website does not have intrusive ads, thanks @TacGriz@lemmy.world!

Ah in that case I answered your question accidentally haha.

I haven’t heard of IR emitters in the D2, but if anyone could do it it would be Hank Wang (the owner of Emisar and Noctigon).

Now on sale for $70 at the acebeam website (code NEWEDC30). I saw this on the other site 😓 )
