Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-01-25


  • #MansTelefons ir iPhone 3G, bet gribu Nokia n900. Šovasar varēs nomainīt bez sirdsapziņas pārmetumiem. #

  • http://tr.im/LfOr - my favourite book writer Charles Stross discusses the future of books. Very lively debate in comments. #

  • Everyone should watch 'The Tonight Show' with Conan O'Brian from this week - NBC fired him, but he has his last week - best TV ever! #

  • 18. Jan - 22. January to be precise. Just get it from http://www.thepiratebay.org/search/Conan%20Brien%20/0/99/0 #

  • It is pretty fantastic what a great comedian can create if he does not have to fear of being fired anymore. Go #teamconan ! #

  • Now I am waiting for the announcement that Conan 'CoCo' O'Brian is going to move to Sirius Satellite Radio next to Howard Stern #teamconan #

/bin/time 0maxresident?

If I run GNU time with some large program, I get the following output:
604.90user 13.16system 11:05.56elapsed 92%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
712inputs+0outputs (5major+76648minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Question - I would guess that maxresident would refer to maximum resident memory usage of the program that I ran, but why is it always zero?

  • Heh, mierīgs jaunais gads - mājās, pie datora, fireworks aiz loga pa pilnam un sarkanvīna šampis no Austrālijas. Have fun all! #

  • Stendzinieks un Smirnovs uzdzen paniku kārtējo reizi. Vienreiz jau noslauca muļķus, kas LVL->EUR samaiņīja. Cik tad vēl ticēs? #

  • Vislabāko 3D redzeju Berlīnē - tur divi projektori, katrs savai acij projecē, viens ar vert polarizāciju, otrs ar horiz. Daudz labāk. #

  • Pie mums projecē pāmīšus labo un kreiso kadru, bet mehānisms brillēs sinhroni aiztumšina labo vai kreiso aci. Tāpēc ir tikai puse no herciem #
