i'm organizing all my semi-useful, non-work specific sql server scripts. i'm going to throw them in a github repo because i have a lot of useful poo poo i'm just hoarding in my scripts directory.about_face posted:currently ripping my entire DVD collection to my HDD and encoding them all to semi-decent x264 mkvs to store on an external drive because it's easier to carry an external hdd rather than a binder full of DVDs i did this too but it's just all on my time capsule. now that i reinstalled my desktop pc need to setup itunes (or maybe plex?) and move it all there. might as well start now, thanks for reminding me i guess

i would imagine woodworking is a thing where you can only make decent stacks doing it if you're really really good so you can charge 3k for a loving coffee table

Condiv posted:i'm trying to make a non-poo poo version of biginteger and bigdecimal for scala. so far it seems to be going well though i've only got bigint partially implemented. i've got about a 5-30% speedup compared to original, but I haven't tested what happens when i start using the algorithms in https://github.com/tbuktu/bigint, hoping for some real massive performance increases. i thought scala compiled down to bytecode, shouldn't it already have this stuff? i don't know diddly about scala though obviously, so i guess not.

Condiv posted:it has java's biginteger, which is a pile of crap. if you look at the benchmarks game, the scala and java versions using biginteger for calculating digits of pi are around 6x slower than the same bench using libgmp. Part of that is because biginteger uses long multiplication in all cases and never attempts to use any of the algorithms that are good for larger numbers like toom-cook. you can see the end result of adding these algorithms to biginteger on the github page i linked. that's pretty cool had no idea java's implementation was so lovely, i wonder how .net's is

after getting pissed at how useless and frustrating SSIS is, i'm building a sql server bulk data copy tool in c# and winforms. v1 is complete and does a naive copy of a list of tables while disabling and re-enabling constraints. (by 'naive' i mean it assumes the column schema matches 100% and even an extra nullable column will crash it) future plans: v2 i will make it asynchronous so it can do parallel loads (i believe i can do up to three simultaneously) and hopefully get it to the point where it can nicely handle tables where the columns are out of order or there are extra (nullable) columns in source or destination. v3 i will save/load config files (right now i use it for one purpose so app.config is good enough). v4 i would like to drop and recreate indexes and constraints before and after the run so it will be faster and i can use table truncates. right now it's doing unbatched deletes and that's super slow. also i really should convert it to mvp and stuff all the goodies in a class library so i can reuse it in other places easier, right now it's all in the codebehind for the main form, heh

Notorious b.s.d. posted:also economic history is incredibly loving contentious, nobody agrees on anything, and it gets worse the further you go back because the data is shittier. guns, germs, and steel is probably the worst possible intro to the field since it combines an untrained author, the worst time periods for available data, and some really insane, almost racist euro-centrism. i thought it was not really racist at all b/c they basically said the white man "won" via right place, right time. but i guess diamond also doesn't really talk about china, etc. i could be mixing it up with other books though like 1491
