Ralph test spotted
(Message 108649)
Posted 31 Oct 2023 by Mr P Hucker Post: Incredible - they have 11 `tasks in progress` on ralph . I thunkd it was ded .I'm fine with pythons. I overtook loads of people in the stats with those, I'm guessing a lot of folk didn't like them. There were many complaints. It's just a VB program, dunno what the fuss was about. I think it needed a modern processor, with AVX or something. |

Posted 31 Oct 2023 by Mr P Hucker Post: I'll post in here too, as Ralph message boards are 99% spam. I got 1 task on each of 2 machines. 5GB vdi image downloaded for Python. 1st machine said download failure, not sure why. Computer may have crashed of it's own accord, it has a dodgy old GPU. https://ralph.bakerlab.org/results.php?hostid=49339 2nd machine got it ok, but caused a computation error immediately. https://ralph.bakerlab.org/results.php?hostid=48821 |

Posted 20 Oct 2023 by Mr P Hucker Post: You're in a country with a decent health system. Here in the UK, the average taxpayer has £300 a month stolen from them whether they like it or not to pay for the "NHS", a money pit which puts you on a 2 year waiting list, even if you're allowed onto it in the first place, I wasn't. I'll have to lie and exaggerate to even get on. Then when you do get operated on they screw everything up. You can go private, but you actually have to go through the NHS to arrange it, and then you've paid twice for the same thing. That's right, people with private healthcare insurance still pay the NHS they'll never use. Welcome to rip off Britain.Jean-David Beyer was lucky, never having much pain.Maybe I was lucky in having chosen a very good orthopedic surgeon and a good hospital to have the surgery done in. |

Posted 20 Oct 2023 by Mr P Hucker Post: Jean-David Beyer was lucky, never having much pain. My wife had a lot of pain for weeks. Then she got tendonitis and was in pain for several months. Physical therapy helped that, now she's fine.In your first sentence you tell me your wife suffered a lot, then you tell me not to be cynical (I assume you mean cynical about the operation and not one of you?) - if your wife had problems, I might too, I'll wait until I really need it. |

Posted 18 Oct 2023 by Mr P Hucker Post: I think I'll postpone mine until it gets worse. Not being able to run and having to put a strap on when walking a long way is not as bad as what you describe.Surgery is painful, no getting around it. She just finished a round of physical therapy and is getting along very well, almost without a limp. My wife is not tolerant of pain. But if she can do it, so can you. Don't be a wimp. |

Posted 18 Oct 2023 by Mr P Hucker Post: "I'd never thought the human body would be stupid enough to put the pain in the wrong place." It's not a matter of stupidity. That is called referred pain and it is a common thing, contrary to your knowledge.I do know about it (or have since summer when a friend told me of it) - but it's still horrendously stupid. Your car doesn't tell you it's out of oil when the petrol is low. We're wired up wrong. The "barbaric tendency" to use only local anesthetics is reserved for people who are allergic to certain medications or who are old, infirm and have underlying conditions.And dentists, who are pure evil. Surgery is painful, no getting around it. She just finished a round of physical therapy and is getting along very well, almost without a limp. My wife is not tolerant of pain. But if she can do it, so can you. Don't be a wimp.Everybody hates pain. That's normal. Others have told me getting hip replacement is wonderful, and better than the real thing. Doesn't sound that way with your wife. The question is, should I get the operation or not? At the moment I get a small amount of pain on my thigh when moving certain ways, which can be avoided by using straps round my leg to keep it straight. I cannot run, but everything else, including hillwalking, is possible. I couldn't get a straight answer out of the doctor, since she's told to lie to patients to avoid the NHS paying. Would a replacement hip improve me or not? |

Posted 17 Oct 2023 by Mr P Hucker Post: When my hip started to hurt,For some reason my leg hurts, random places along the front thigh muscle. My friend, a massage therapist, suggested I should get x-rayed, I'd never thought the human body would be stupid enough to put the pain in the wrong place. But he insisted 7 of his patients had needed a hip done after complaining to him about pain there. Sure enough, the xray showed I have hip joints which are slightly misshapen, so have worn out 2x faster than they should of. The "great British NHS" won't give me an operation. I'm not important enough. Looks like I either lie in a couple of years and tell them it's worse than it is, or pay 12 grand for the operation. The first way is to inject something like cortisone into the joint. He said that often works for around six months. But additional injections become progressively less effective.Sounds pointless. The second way is to do a hip replacement. There has been a lot of progress with this kind of surgery in the last decade or two. If I were younger, it is a one-day outpatient procedure. But for me they wanted to keep me overnight. Good thing too. On the next morning they did a final checkup prior to discharging me and it turned out my BP was 70/40 and they not only did not want to discharge me, they had me skip my BP medication. Apparently this is a common side-effect of the two anaesthetics they used on me.Do they put you out cold? There seems to be a barbaric tendancy nowadays to use local anaesthetics and you're awake while they operate on you! My BP is stupidly high, and I don't take medication, because none of the 4 they tried have any effect on me, so I guess I won't have that problem. |

Posted 16 Oct 2023 by Mr P Hucker Post: Ah, 9 is "no" in German, 5 is "sank" in French. They don't want to sink.The same place as windows 9 . . . . . . . .When will rosetta beta stop being beta and replace rosetta 4.20?And where did version 5 go? String is either a theory , so therefore not a definitive thing that can be measured accuratelyThey must be measuring them by now. What are those boffins at LHC playing at? Or can be used as in "The Goodies" episode for replacing knee joints, Raymond Baxter seemed ok with it :)It's my hip I need replacing. Not sure if I want to, sounds nasty, I hate operations. |

Posted 3 Sep 2023 by Mr P Hucker Post: But actually all you need today is Windows Defender, it's free and not as annoying as that McAfee crap and most other AV-suites with all their false positives, completely unnecessary features and extreme system load. AVG was good, 10+ years ago, wouldn't recommend it today anymore and I also wouldn't pay anything for AV today when a good one comes for free with Windows.I tried defender, but it's very difficult to give it an exception, especially when that exception is a pirate windows adjuster. 10 Windows licenses to run Boinc? Forget it. |

Posted 3 Sep 2023 by Mr P Hucker Post: McAfee came with my computer parts. I haven't renewed it.I don't bother with all that. Just a simple antivirus like AVG does me. A website isn't dangerous. You have to run a program on your computer, the AV stops that. |

Posted 2 Sep 2023 by Mr P Hucker Post: AVG doesn't. And a site can't be risky unless you download some programs from it. It's just graphs.Nevermind, found it:That site was flagged by McAffee as "suspicious and risky." And https://www.urlvoid.com/scan/grafana.kiska.pw/ says 0 out of 41 testers found it dodgy. It seems your McAfee is broken. McAfee is infamous for being crap. |
