From the comments and description it is analogous to multiprocessing in Python. I use this if I’m lashing up a real-time Pi program (e.g. clock, web process1, webprocess2,multimedia etc.) I’m not using a cluster (but could) instead the Pi is doing all the hard graft of allocating multicore resources.
The script in this specific instance is a loop, and individual jobs are written in a circular list.(some of the jobs such as a RSS display screen) have their own circular lists.
If one job crashes in this case, the others just carry on to completion then stop. For your case it would depend how nfs handles crashes on one processor in a simple cluster. i.e stop the lot or carry on, but spit out a job error for the one that failed.
I used to work in a contractors office right next to the old Conference Centre (where they hold the snooker). back in the 70s. I thought it was a crap area then, and the town area was not much better. Nothing to do with the ethnic mix, it just seemed a sterile soulless place with really bad restaurants, coupled with a nasty reverse commute into London.
Try changing file extension when you save, but read this first:
“Pnm and ps (and raw) are always available. The other formats are only available if necessary libraries are present and support is compiled in. For png you need libpng and libz, for jpeg you need jpeglib, for tiff you need libtiff. ”
If this does not work then the Mint team have screwed up, try Simple scan instead.
“
Given:
“Restart the server and the new options are sourced”
my guess would be that it starts running the original script all over again. It is however possible that there is some sort of flag file which stores a job completion flag, if so it would rapidly jump to the failure point in the previous run..
Depends what you mean by ‘clear the queue’. If the queue is a pointer to a local buffer on each machine then it could start all over. If the ‘queue’ is the actual circular buffer then everything is gone. If it is only a pointer to a place on a circular buffer then it ought to start at the head of the buffer, but it is hard to say.
A Corporate Treasurer of a very large multinational once made a very Zen-like statement to me. He said ‘There ain’t no such thing as money just confidence in it. Without confidence you don’t have anything worth shite!
Graham unless you are an economist or are experienced in making international capital investment decisions I really do not see what basis you have for disputing my assertions.
a) We already have the lowest growth rate in Europe. A hard Brexit will cause a massive sterling devaluation. Although normally this would boost exports we will have no agreements other than a problematic GATT to replace those of the EU.
b) I can state unequivocally that those who make international investment decisions hate uncertainty, and unknown risk. Any such investments will only take place if there is a massive risk premium, i.e not many investments. The scientific community are expressing major concerns over the impacts of a Hard Brexit.
c) Immigration into the UK (including illegals) has already dropped.
d) As I stated before GATT massively increases bureaucracy and paperwork. We are not geared up to handle it. If you are going to dispute that – where are your facts?
Maybe in some mythical future an exit from the EU will bring economic benefit to all that exceed the benefits of staying in the EU, but I fail to see the logic in that assertion. It assumes that the EU will fail to negotiate future agreements such as their recent Japanese free trade agreement, while we will still be struggling trying to negotiate 160 agreements of our own let alone new ones.
LibreOffice Draw or Dia are good free alternatives to Visio or Lucidchart.
Brexit promised :
a) NO economic impact except benefits from not having to pay our contributions to the EU budget.
b)A healthier economy
c) Reduced immigration into the UK through control of our borders.
d) Massive reduction in bureaucracy and control over all manufacturing and agricultural regulations.
i.e. All cake and jam with no wasps
The reality with a ‘Hard Brexit’ is:
a) A huge hit on our economy that could last decades. It could well bring our car industry to its knees, and our scientific research efforts will drop down to the level of a third world country. We will not just damage the present day but also the future.
b) Britain already lags the EU in economic growth. A Hard Brexit will almost eliminate inward investment into the UK.
c) Immigration WILL reduce – who in the right mind will want to come to a third world country?
d) GATT trade massively increases bureaucracy and the costs of doing business. Exporters of all products (including fish and agricultural) will still have to comply with all regulations, except we will no longer have any say over EU regs.
When politicians lie and fail to meet their promises the public is given the right of an election to express the right to change our minds. In the circumstances I see no difference between having a second referendum and a second election.
@Graham, Have you ever filled in GATT import/export declarations and handled the massive customs bonds you need to lodge in escrow for the exports? Given the volume of our trade with the EU I shudder to think of the manpower required and the cash flow impacts this will have on our exporters.
However, I guess all of this has little meaning in the context of our illusory Post-Brexit improved democracy.
They are valuable animals. If your Mum has never seen it before, the neighbourly thing would be to alert the nearest vet as someone may have lost it.
It looks like a small Jungle Cat Hybrid (Bengal maybe)
Thanks guys – I guess the best bet is to struggle with a replacement BT hub for a month or so while funds rebuild, then get a Vigor. (I had some heavy expenditures recently). Btw with few exceptions, everything is wired.
Out of interest I later discovered a ‘how-to‘. Maybe I’ll keep the replacement BT hub for the security cameras to add separation from the net.
“LAN-to-WAN – Creates a second network inside of the main network, allowing you to place restrictions on any computers, smartphones, or other items that are connected to it. LAN-to-WAN networks cannot be used to share files.”
Follow their trails back to likely entry points and stop up any holes. If this is impossible, copper tape acts as a permanent barrier.
Although salt kills them it can cause them to bubble-up with a disgusting yellow slime which would not be good on a carpet!
“That means a sand and varnish on the wood floor, but the wife wants to get someone in to do that!! ”
Just one comment John, you may be better to put down some ‘office-style’ carpet tiles as computer chairs play hell with wood floors. (4 square metres should be under £20 – cheaper than getting in a carpenter!)
“A quick trip to Europe soon tells you it’s what WE add to the EU rules ”
An excellent point Dave, in virtually every aspect of EU regulation we have added to it and tightened them up to the extent we have lost all the deliberate working flexibility that was left in the regulations.
Personal privacy and freedoms in the UK will be the main things lost by a withdrawal from the EU. Our Government has a very nasty history of spying on its population and using Nanny State laws to restrict personal freedoms. We will lose the very little protection that ECHR brings to act as a check against such abuses.
As I said in my post – A Bojo-like statement that makes a good sound-bite but totally ignores any drawbacks.
Steve’s talk of Gimp reminded me of Paint.Net, apparently that has some worthwhile colour correction abilities. (it will also run the older Photoshop Plug-ins (I don’t know wrt recent ones)). Try it — free to use and it really is much better than Gimp! link
Don’t forget that Windows loves to trawl through all your files. Even worse if the Photo CPU hog cuts in as well. [edit] this is especially noticeable with a fresh install and loading of personal files, music,pics.
