There was also the option of taking a donkey ride down the slope, but Lisa advised we'd smell like sh@t for a week, and the steep path makes it very uncomfortable to stay on the donkey's back!

It was late in the third quarter and the Jazz were beating one of the best teams in the Western Conference.
But then the deluge of turnovers came, hard and fast in the final 2:38 of the third, washing away the Jazz's chances of upsetting the high-flying Clippers.
There were the two giveaways apiece from Alec Burks and Gordon Hayward. And there was the shot clock violation, as the Jazz were unable to penetrate the Clippers' swarming defense. The lead kept slipping, from five points to none, flipping eventually to a five-point deficit by the end of the third quarter.
The final 2:38 of the period proved to be the death knell for the Jazz, whose 20 turnovers were too much to overcome against a team as good as the Clippers.
"They got aggressive, they put their hands on us and got us out of our offense," Jazz coach Ty Corbin said. "We turned the ball over and they got transition baskets."
By the time it was over, the Jazz had given up 31 points off the turnovers, including 19 in the second half. That allowed the Clippers to escape with a win on night they appeared beatable — something rare during their 10-game winning streak.
"I think we had about seven or eight turnovers where we had something there, but it may have gotten tipped, somebody may have got their hand on it," said Trey Burke, who had three turnovers and four assists to go along with 18 points.
"We just didn't execute it. We had a lot of good looks tonight."
The Jazz led for most of the game, despite the turnovers, which came in bunches. But the Clippers, who have the third-best record in the West, were too dangerous for the Jazz to walk such a tight line against. Los Angeles never gave the lead back after it took it late in the third.
"It's very slim," Corbin said of the margin for error against the Clippers. "... Their intent was to take us out of what we were doing in the first half. They did a better job in the second half, and we didn't match their intensity."

seeks are basically why data can be packaged up, then a person can read a single larger package in place of a lot of little files.
samoth, on 06 Feb 2013 - 09:17, said:More precisely, one should say:
I am writing mostly from personal experience, which tends to be that HDD's aren't very fast.
Harddisks are fast. Fast enough for pretty much everything. SSDs are faster, in fact, ridiculously fast. They're becoming more and more common (and thus cheaper, which is a positive feedback loop), and I'm hoping that in maybe 3-5 years from now you'll be able to assume a SSD as "standard" in every computer. Harddisk seeks are slow, but if you pay only a little attention (e.g. not ten thousand files), not so much that they're ever an issue.
as for HDD speed, it depends:
I am currently using 5400RPM 1TB drives, which have a max IO speed of roughly 100MB/s or so (though, 50-70MB/s is typical for OS file-IO).
although, yes, 7200RPM drives are also common, they are more expensive for the size, and SSDs are still rather expensive (like $140 for 128GB drive and similar), vs like $89 for 2TB or similar for a 5400RPM drive (vs like $109 for a similar-size 7200RPM drive).
4 year old 5400RPM drives (3.5 inch internal), in my case...
DVDs are... oh well... about 1/3 to 1/5 the speed of a harddisk, but you normally need not worry. DVD seeks, on the other hand, are the devil.
Which boils down to something as simple as: Try and avoid seeks, and you're good. If you ship on DVD, avoid them as if your life depended on it.
A slow harddisk (some 3-4 year old 7200 rpm disk) realistically delivers upwards of 50MiB/s if you don't have too many seeks. That isn't so bad. With NCQ, you often don't even notice a few dozen seeks at all, and even without, the impact is very small if you have several concurrent reads.
things are slow enough to stall trying to do screen-capture from games if using uncompressed video, or so help you if you try to do much of anything involving the HDD if a virus scan is running...
better capture is generally gained via a simple codec, like MJPEG or the FFDShow codec, then transcoding into something better later.
I have a 10 year old laptop drive (60GB 4800RPM), which apparently pulls off a max read speed of around 12MB/s, and a newer laptop drive (320GB 5400RPM) which pulls off around 70MB/s (or around 30-40MB/s inside an OS).
my experience is roughly pulling in a few hundred MB of data over the course of a number of a few seconds or so.
A SSD delivers so fast that decompression can be the actual bottleneck. Seriously. You just don't care about its speed or about seek times.
Now consider a DVD. A typical, standard 16x drive will, in the best case, deliver something close to 20 MiB/s, so between 1/3 and 1/2 of what you get from a slow harddisk. In the worst case (sectors close to the middle), you'll have about half that.
Now throw in 30 seeks, which on the average take around 150ms each on a DVD drive. That's a full 4.5 seconds spent in seeking. Compared to these 4.5 seconds during which nothing at all happens (nothing useful from your point of view, anyway), pretty much every other consideration regarding speed becomes insignificant.
more time is generally spent reading the data than decompressing it.
like, with deflate:
I have previously tested getting decompression-speeds of around several GB/s or so (and in a few past tests, namely with readily compressible data, hitting the RAM speed limit). (mostly as the actual "work" of inflating data consists mostly of memory-copies and RLE flood-fills).
implemented sanely, decoding a Huffman symbol is mostly a matter of something like:
if(pos>=8) { pos-=8; win=(win>>8)|((*cs++)<<24); }
which isn't *that* expensive (and more so, it is only a small part of the activity except mostly in poorly-compressible data).
( EDIT/ADD: more so, the poorly-compressible data edge-case is generally handled because the deflate encoder is like "hey, this data doesn't compress for crap" and falls back to "store" encoding, which amounts to essentially a straight memory copy in the decoder.
side note: modern CPUs also include dedicated silicon to optimize special memory-copying and flood-fill related instruction sequences, so these are often fairly fast. )
granted, I am using a custom inflater, rather than zlib (it makes a few optimizations under the assumption of being able to compress/decompress an entire buffer at once, rather than assuming making use of a piecewise stream).
this doesn't necessarily apply to things like LZMA, which involve a much more costly encoding, and have a hard time breaking 60-100MB/s for decoding speeds IME, but is more specific to deflate (which can be pretty fast on current HW).
for things like PNG, most of the time goes into running the filters over the decompressed buffers, which has lead to some amount of optimization (generally, dedicated functions which apply a single filter over a scanline with a fixed format). this is why the Paeth optimization trick became important: the few conditionals inside the predictor themselves became a large bottleneck. this is because (unlike deflate) it is necessary to execute some logic for every pixel (like, add the prior pixel, or a prediction based on the adjacent pixels).
JPEG is also something that would normally be expected to be dead-slow, but isn't actually all that bad (more so, as my codec also assumes the ability to work a whole image at once), and most operations boil down to a "modest" amount of fixed-point arithmetic (like in the DCT, no cosines or floating-point is actually involved, just a gob of fixed-point). sort of like with PNG, the main time-waster tends to become the final colorspace transformation (YUV -> RGB), but this can be helped along in a few ways:
writing logic specifically for configurations like 4:2:0 and 4:4:4, which can allow more fixed-form logic;
generally transforming the image in a block-by-block manner (related to the above, often it is an 8x8 or 16x16 macroblock which is broken down into 2x2 or 4x4 sub-blocks for the color-conversion, partly to allow reusing math between nearby pixels);
using special logic to largely skip over costly checks (like individually range-clamping pixeks, ..., which can be done per-block rather than per-pixel);
for faster operation, one can also skip over time-wasters like rounding and similar;
with a lot tricks like this, one can get JPEG decoding speeds of ~ 100 Mpix/s or so (somehow...), ironically not being too far off from a PNG decoder (or, FWIW, a traditional video codec).
getting stuff like this fed into OpenGL efficiently is a little bit more of an issue, but, the driver-supplied texture compression was at least moderately fast, and in my own experiments I was able to write faster texture compression code.
the main (general) tricks mostly seem to be:
avoid conditionals where possible (straight-through arithmetic is often faster, as pipeline stalls will often cost more than the arithmetic);
if at all possible, avoid using floating point in per-pixel calculations (the conversions between bytes and floats can kill performance, so straight fixed-point is usually better here).
SIMD / SSE can also help here, but has to be balanced with its relative ugliness and reduced portability.
as for an SSD: dunno...
I suspect at-present, SSDs are more of a novelty though...
even if the SSD is very fast, the speed of the SATA bus will still generally limit them to about 400MB/s or so, so using compression for speedups still isn't completely ruled out (though, granted, it will make much less of a difference than it does with a 50MB/s or 100MB/s disk-IO speed, and avoidance of "costly" encodings may make more sense).
granted, it seems with the newly optimized PNG Paeth filter, and faster DXT encoding, the main time waster (besides disk-IO) during loading is now... apparently... the code for scrolling the console buffer...
(this happens whenever a console print message prints a newline character, which involves moving the entire console up by 1 line, and is basically just a memory copy). (sode note: this console operation just naively uses "for()" loops to copy memory...).
and, shaved a few seconds off the startup time (down to about 3 seconds to start up the engine, and around 9 seconds to load the world).

list of awesome.
Written by Pamela | Leave a comment
(This is a very adorable 3-legged dog that I photographed in Sydney about 3-4 years ago. I love how he's smiling)
Inspired by the video in my last post, I have decided to start recording the awesome things that happen in my life that make me gloriously happy. If anything – it helps me look for the awesome things that happen and so there is inevitably less time to be spent dwelling on the not-so-awesome things.
- On Saturday evening we had just parked our car in a pay-and-display car park and a man came over to our window with a valid ticket paid until the next morning! This was so awesome – but not nearly as awesome as it felt passing it forward when we left the car park an hour later.
- I got home on from yoga on Monday night to find Ivan putting the finishing touches on the most delicious dinner. And last night I came home from yoga and my Dad placed a piece of (gluten free!) brushetta in my hands, straight from the oven. I can't think of anything more enjoyable than coming home to food that's ready for me!
- Yesterday I spent an hour and a half having my body massaged while the rain poured down outside. No, it wasn't from Ivan (but he does massage me too!) – it was from Bella Mama in Takapuna. A much needed indulgence after our summer camping trip!

As of now, the camp is on track to meet standards for water per person—20 litres per person per day; however latrines, solid waste management and facilities for showering are urgently needed.
Most of the returnees believe they had a better life while they were living as refugees in Pakistan compared to living in their own country.

ISLAMABAD, August 31, 2014 (AFP) - Pakistan's powerful army called on the government and protesters to resolve their differences peacefully Sunday night but ominously warned it was "committed to playing its part in ensuring security of the state", after clashes left three dead.

Tell me again how the F-35 is a more capable air-to-grown air frame?
You just can't kill a 'hog.
You forgot this one. It has a pretty good story to it as well.
Didn't some pilot get like a third of her wing blown off by a SAM and was just like "fuck it, trim it out?" Let me see if I could find that story.
Fun fact, the aluminum skin on the A-10 is non load bearing, basically it's just riveted on. This means that the A-10 s wing can be shot to all hell, and they can take the skin off, replace it with tarp, and it'll fly like brand new. It's actually been done too which is the best part!
interesting, reminds me of the apache's shoot-through frame
The first two pictures are of Capt. Kim Campbell's A-10. Here is her story.
Kim Campbell
"I get asked that a lot, 'What's it like to be a female in a fighter squadron?' Honestly, I never think about it. The important thing is to work really hard and be good at it, and then nobody cares what gender you are. I'm not a female fighter pilot. I'm just a fighter pilot, and I love it."
(Note: My apologies for making this a rare Saturday installment of Badass of the Week – my wife was in the ER most of the day yesterday (nothing serious, everything's fine, don't worry about it) and with everything going on I didn't get a chance to write this piece. Instead of copping out with a re-post from the books or something I just decided to wait and write this Saturday morning instead.)
April 7, 2003. The fourth day of the nine-day Battle of Baghdad. Fighting rages across the fire-swept Iraqi capital as American and Allied soldiers and Marines storm through the rubble-strewn streets, taking heavy fire from the deeply-entrenched, ultra-hardcore, fanatically-dedicated warriors of President Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard – battle-hardened troops committed to fighting a desperate last stand, dying where they stand with their fingers still on the trigger in a badass blaze of glory. Gunfire and explosions rip through deserted skyscrapers and apartment buildings as the toughest troops Iraq has to offer desperately cling to the last vestiges of their crumbling empire.
A little north of downtown proper stood the North Baghdad Bridge – a critical crossing over the mighty Tigris River that absolutely had to be taken and held if the Allies wanted to have any chance of cutting off enemy reinforcements and capturing the city.
The task was given to the U.S. 3rd Infantry Division – hardcore, boots-on-the-ground asskickers who's marched across the country and were now finally getting the chance to kick a little ass.
The Third stormed through the city, reaching their objective thanks to a few well-placed grenades and a couple hundred thousand rounds of 5.56mm NATO full metal jacket ammunition, but now things were getting a little hairy. On the far side of the bridge, holding the objective a mere 400 meters away, was a pissed-off swarm of Republican Guard elites, entrenched in heavily-fortified positions, looking to kick ass. As the first American soldiers set foot over the Tigris they were greeted by a barrage of RPGs and heavy machine guns zeroed-in on the choke points across the bridge.
An epic gun battle raged as the two sides opened up on each other, but as more and more RPG fire barreled down on American lines it didn't take long for the officers of the Third Infantry to realize they weren't going to take this bridge without taking heavy casualties.
So they called in air support. Which, in this case, was 28 year-old Captain Kim Campbell of the 75th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron – callsign "Killer Chick" – and her A-10 Warthog.
I've already written a love story about the 'Hog on this site, so it should come as no surprise that I think this is one of the most insanely-hardcore death machines ever fielded by any army in history – and you kind of have to assume that any time someone piloting one of these hardcore jets gets a callsign like "Killer Chick" they're pretty fucking serious. An Air Force Academy grad, Campbell was one of just 50 women fighter pilots in the USAF in 2003. She was already on her way in from Kuwait on a mission to fuck up some Republican Guard tanks and artillery, but when the call came down that American troops were in deep shit she immediately peeled off, opened up her throttle, and set a course for Explosionville.
Campbell fought through a dust storm, coming in hard over Baghdad, which at the time was still mostly under enemy control. When she got near the coordinates, she dove down through the cloud cover, the wide-open blue skies immediately being replaced with a burning city, raging fires, explosions, tracer fire, and RPG contrails streaking towards American troops. Diving down through anti-aircraft shrapnel bursts all around her, Campbell had mere seconds to size up the battlefield, which is no easy task considering that she was traveling a couple hundred miles an hour through a ridiculously-chaotic warzone, pick out a camouflaged series of targets a mere 400 meters from friendly lines, and dive straight down, nose-first into it in order to unleash a massive barrage of death from the epic nose cannon on her mighty beast.
I probably don't need to explain that diving cockpit-first into a swarm of Republican Guard regular infantry armed with RPGs and heavy weapons is marginally dangerous, but this wasn't Captain Campbell's first rodeo – she was on her second tour of duty, she'd already logged hundreds of hours of combat flight time, and she wasn't about to sit there and let a bunch of assholes take potshots at her countrymen.
Campbell dove her Warthog at a steep angle, straight at the enemy, opening up the throttle full and unleashing a few thousand 1.5-pound bullets from the 19-foot long GAU-8 Avenger Gatling Gun strapped onto the nose of her jet in the matter of seconds, then cranking the stick hard, pulling insane Gs, and hauling up out of there.. To give you some idea of the carnage this thing can bring, here's a video of the Avenger ripping apart Soviet tanks.
The GAU-8 Avenger.
On her final pass, Campbell unleashed her compliment of 2.75-inch high-explosive rockets, liquidating her target in the process, but immediately drawing the attention of roughly every single anti-aircraft weapon in Iraq at the time. Bullets pinged off her armor as she hammered the stick back, airbursts of AA fire exploded around her, and RPGs streaked past her cockpit.
Then, suddenly, a huge explosion rocked Captain Kim Campbell's A-10, shaking the entire jet violently. A surface-to-air missile had struck the plane's tail, riddling the fuselage with hundreds of shrapnel holes, shredding the tail and the engine cowling and blowing out the hydraulics and horizontal stabilizers (note: these are all important parts of an airplane). The plane shook, rolled left, and Campbell found herself pointed nose-first at the city of Baghdad, spinning to the Earth in a death-spiral, her caution panel screaming at her, her controls completely unresponsive.
In a split-second, Campbell realized she had two options – eject, let her multimillion-dollar jet explode in the heart of a city of 11 million people, and risk almost certain capture by Iraqi troops, or fight, try to regain control, and risk failing and dying in a towering fireball.
She fought. And, since the brakes, steering, rudders, flaps and flight gear were all failing to respond, she cut the hydraulics and switched over to manual piloting mode. For those of you who don't know what that means, here's a picture:
That's right – it is literally a series of wires tied to rudders and flaps that you manipulate by hand-cranking on cables, and now Captain Campbell was pulling herself out of a tailspin by piloting a multi-million dollar fighter jet fucking Wright Brothers-style.
Somehow, miraculously, she regained control using this wires-and-cables bullshit – a method of flying that A-10 pilots practice exactly ONCE during their training – pulled out of a dive, straightened the 'Hog, and then proceeded to fly over downtown Iraq in a ridiculously-crippled aircraft basically held together by duct tape and bumper stickers while a couple hundred AA guns took potshots at her.
Oh, here's some shots of the damage on the plane:
So… yeah. Despite a few close calls, Campbell stuck with her wingman, made it over the city, got back up above cloud cover, and then proceeded to manually steer her aircraft back to her base in Kuwait. She could have theoretically ejected over open ground and been rescued by friendlies in Kuwait, but on her way home Captain Campbell decided, fuck it, I'm bringing this sucker home in one piece. She then proceeded to attempt a manual landing.
Manual landings had been attempted exactly twice before this. The first time, the pilot crashed and died. The second time, the plane broke in half and caught fire and the pilot was only saved when fire crews pulled him out of the blaze. And now Kim Campbell was trying to do it with a plane that looked like Charlie Sheen's fighter at the end of Hot Shots.
I wish I had some dramatic shit to insert here, but according to her flight lead, "she landed in manual more smoothly than I landed with hydraulics." It was a three-wheels-down, textbook landing, despite, you know, the plane basically falling apart, and the next morning Campbell was out there flying close air support for a rescue mission over Baghdad like nothing had happened. She'd go on to serve three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and fly 375 combat hours, which is like 15 and a half seasons of 24.
For her actions in April 2003 – both eliminating an enemy position that was "danger close" to friendly troops and her ability to fly home with wires and cranks – she received the Distinguished Flying Cross and got a commendation from the South Carolina legislature. Of course, none of that even came close to the paper napkin that a soldier from the Third Infantry left for her in her ready room later that week. It had a simple, hand-written message on it: "If it hadn't been for you guys I wouldn't still be here."
"Those are the risks you are going to take to help the guys on the ground. That's our job. That's what we do. Our guys were taking fire and you want to do everything you can to help them out."

Oregon finds a way to pick up needed victory at UCLA (VIDEO)
Feb 28, 2014, 1:15 AM EDT
When news broke just a couple hours before Thursday's game that UCLA guards Kyle Anderson and Jordan Adams were suspended one game for a violation of team rules, it seemed to be a formality that Oregon would pick up a much-needed victory. Sure the Bruins still had some talented players available, but to expect UCLA to be a threat after losing its top two scorers seemed to be a bit much.
But that wasn't the case, with UCLA putting up a greater fight than most expected and Oregon seemingly doing its best to make sure the Bruins hung around. After getting off to a good start offensively the Ducks slowed down in the second half, with UCLA's 2-3 zone factoring into the issues experienced by Dana Altman's team. Given the number of quality guards at Altman's disposal this wasn't the expectation, but far too often the Ducks failed to attack the middle of the UCLA zone.
And then there were the final seconds of regulation, with the Ducks losing track of David Wear after a Joseph Young free throw with 1.3 seconds remaining. After Young made the shot he was looking to miss Travis Wear fired a strike to his twin brother, with David knocking down the 30-footer as time expired. Oregon would have to work five more minutes of the win, and after the two teams combined to score four points in the first extra session five more.
Ultimately Young (26 points) and Mike Moser (12 points, 20 rebounds and five assists) would lead the Ducks to the 87-83 double overtime win, keeping alive their hopes of getting hot and earning a spot in the NCAA tournament. Oregon was able to win not only because of their outlasting UCLA, but also their advantages in points off turnovers and second-chance points. Oregon converted 11 UCLA turnovers into 18 points (+11 advantage) and rebounded 39.5% of their missed shots, scoring 17 second-chance points (+12).
Of course those are two areas in which Anderson and Adams have been so influential this season, as they're also UCLA's top two rebounders and Anderson the leader in assists. Oregon did much of its work in these areas early, leading by as much as 15 early in the second half. But the Ducks' ability to make things difficult on themselves has been a theme of sorts in the majority of their conference games, and that was once again the case on Thursday night.
However given Oregon's status as a bubble team it's the result that matters. Some will look to add an asterisk of sorts to this result given the absence of Anderson and Adams, and while this would be fair it isn't Oregon's fault that they were suspended. Regardless of who was on the court for UCLA, Oregon had to get the win regardless of how long it took. And after fifty minutes of basketball, the Ducks accomplished that task.

When I first arrived on JET I luckily had a western bed in my apartment but the mattress was unbearably hard. I somehow managed to suffer through it for a year.
Last night my neighbor gave me the bright idea of putting a futon on top of the mattress and sleeping on it. She even lent me an extra futon to try it out. I feel like I'm sleeping on a fluffy cloud and I will never go back. I happily shelled out $150 for a memory foam futon… Happy early birthday to me.
