Greg's House of Treats

It has been acting up again.  This time, I think (maybe?) I could resolve by adding the kernel parameter “enable_mtrr_cleanup” in GRUB.

Could be very useful.  Generic phase space can be used instead of linac head model.

I had some dead time at work between meetings, and I asked myself are there any productivity tools for C++ refactoring that I should look into?  The answer is maybe, but only one seems promising.

It is based on symantic-mode, included with emacs

Can’t wait to try it out!

Sometimes I get spam from ResearchGate.  Unfortunately RG also looks very nice.  But the spam is unacceptable.

The below blog mentions some alternatives.

  • Have not yet investigated.

  • Probably good, but I’m more of a zotero guy.

My favorite audio player on linux is Clementine. Mostly works flawlessly, but has a curious bug (feature??) that it doesn't respect album artist tags when the album has multiple tracks from different artists.  Don't ask me why.

Seems I always forget how to do this.  But this is a case of "you're holding it wrong."  What Clementine wants is for you to set the compilation tag.  If you do that, everything works great.
