I don't really understand your setup, but if you throw enough money at ATEN they will be happy to give you a KVM that handles 4K @ 240Hz. Supporting high refresh rates is the main thing that would keep me from using most KVMs for gaming.

Ah, I neglected to mention that my keyboard isn't separate hardware. I'm using the built-in keyboard and display of my laptop, and would like to continue doing so. So hardware switches that depend on dumb monitors and keyboards don't work for me (and that's why I said KVM, not switch).

I have an ATEN KVM [1] that gets a solid "it does the job" from me. Occasionally a connected computer won't pick up the K, V, or M, and I'll have to reconnect a few times.

I use it to switch between my work laptop and my personal PC, and for this situation 4K is a must have. That, and the choice of HDMI instead of DisplayPort, and things that would keep me from getting a JetKVM.

I use Aten KVM switches too, but they are a different type of product. JetKVM is for remote KVM access, not for switching between multiple computers. Both are orthogonal to each other. You can in principle combine a JetKVM with a KVM switch (and some people are doing that, though there are some technical pitfalls).

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

The GL-iNet Commet X is a 4-port IP KVM. It does 4K, albeit at 30fps.

I got that, it works very well.

Of course putting it on 3 NAS systems (which I can even SSH into) was definitely overkill.

But as Schlock Mercenary's Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries says, «There is no "overkill." There is only "open fire" and "reload."»


I have the single port PoE version of the glinet. Its been rock solid so far. I’ve been wanting this 4 port version. But they’re sold out every time I check their site.

If you haven't tried single leg movements, that's the way to increase load on your legs when you don't have more weight available.

Moving fast is also a good way to increase intensity without increasing weight (you can clean less than you can deadlift, for example). The training effect is slightly different, but probably more useful for the average person tbh.


Actually I feel like moving very slow is also a way to increase intensity.

Move fast on the concentric (increases power), move slowish on the eccentric.

Yes. Although as you get older moving fast on the concentric might also increase your chances of injury.

It's slightly depressing how much better the everyday food is just some 300kms east of London (i.e. in France). I was shocked the first time I pitched up in a random Carrefour and saw that their basic food is an essentially unobtainable level of quality in the UK.

British food has come a long way over time, though there is still that subculture the rejoices in shite, or "proper" as they call it, food.

At least we can feel superior to the US on this front, who produce the worst bread I've ever eaten.


French supermarket baguettes are very often Chorleywood.

USian here, guilty as charged. Although I imagine it's the same as in the U.K. in terms of a lot of people who eat a lot of crap, while there are still plenty of people who know and appreciate good food, including baked goods. So, there is good bread here, but either you make it yourself or pay a premium.

> It's slightly depressing how much better the everyday food is just some 300kms east of London (i.e. in France)

Do you mean south of London?


Would south east do? Is further pedantry necessary?

I'd note that south or southeast would work, even southwest might. But East would clearly lead to the Netherlands. (they may also eat better bread there too, I wouldn't know)

I'll accept south-east.

I'm glad we're not describing the relationship between Greenland and Iceland as Greenland is farther east, west, north and south of Iceland.


Probably sounds like more than looks like. If it's what my cat gets, it's crows posting up on trees and roofs and talking shit at you.


Usually I find them demanding me give them food. Shame on me for forgetting snacks!


There is a difference between what is legal and what is moral. If you think that there is no difference you also hold that slavery was moral up until the time it was illegal (and you might then wonder why abolitionists campaigned against a moral act.) Similarly, the visa system may have always had this uncertainty but that does not mean it is moral, or that it is moral to use it in this way.


Who said it was moral?


That is the implication of what conductr wrote.


Better talk to Bhutan


I think Unison has the most interesting take here: https://www.unison-lang.org/docs/the-big-idea/

If you look at any language that has been around a while, with Java being a great example, you'll see many libraries that use an outdated coding style. Compare the different date/time libraries in Java, for example. Evolving these is always a problem, which I think Unison addresses in a way that lets the language evolve without having to carry too much baggage forward, while still not breaking others' code.


Pointless anti-intellectualism.

There is a big difference between believing something is true, and demonstrating it is true and measuring the effect. One is a vibe. The other can drive policy.


Kind of, but there’s a lot of ‘water is wet’ studies, and this falls firmly in the ‘why the hell are you surprised by this?!’ category.

Found the government consultant!


It's not pointless anti-intellectualism, it's pro-humanism.

History holds enough examples of intellectuals who out of absolute lack of any human compassion subjected fellow human beings to anti-humane conditions, hoping to find and push the limits of their bodies and psyches in order to maximize profits, ahem, sorry, optimize spending.

And those who you hope to be able to set "policies" on further cramming of people into the machine are either exactly those who profit off that, or eat crumbs from that table.

Yet there are always heart/right hemisphere dead morons who need precise numbers and conclusions written in blood instead of simply relying on common sense.


> Is java able to stackify most new Object calls and elide default initialization of object members these days?

Escape analysis in OpenJDK will stack allocate values where it can show it is safe to do so. Project Valhalla is also reducing the memory footprint of objects.

As for thread safety, that is more of a language concern than a runtime one. Amongst JVM languages Scala is leading here AFAIK. Its "capture checking"[1] provides thread safety (e.g. [2]) and actually covers escape analysis as well. On Scala Native (the native code backend for Scala) capture checking can be used for safe stack allocation and safe arena allocation.
