Uggh, I hate to say this because I have a love/hate relationship with it - time blocking with an alarm that's not on your phone.

I use alarms on my phone for calendar stuff and med reminders - that sort of thing. But sometimes need a cheap tabletop timer to get me to do something else. Sort of a jarring context-switch.

I have multiple cheap kitchen timers - if I need a reminder for something around the house I'll set a timer there, for example the washing machine because unlike the dryer, they don't have a real alarm (seriously why? Clothes left in a washer get stinky, but not in the dryer. Yet the dryer buzzer will wake the dead).

Oh good god don't think I would've recognized her so young. Wow.

Not sure I saw her in anything before the mid-80's.

I don't understand being angry about nature being natural.

Also, carnivores aren't the most dangerous animals, necessarily.

More people are killed by elk and moose than anything else (I think elk tops the list because they're so prolific and don't avoid people, while moose tend to be out where people don't go).

So you're saying that the current Minecraft servers are all running on desktop hardware and not on standard U-chassis servers in racks in data centers?

If anything I'd expect them to run virtualized on standard rack servers.

Something here doesn't add up. I don't buy that enterprise server hardware that can out-perform desktop hardware by orders of magnitude can't do what you need - especially since that's surely how the existing servers run.

If this single-threading performance is really an issue, run some kind of virtualization on a rack server, build a VM with the exact hardware config you need, and the host hardware will make it happen (which I'd bet is exactly how current servers are run, because then they can be moved/Load balanced dynamically without missing a beat).

I currently have both single-core, single-cpu VM's and multi-core, multi-cpu VM's running on the same host for test purposes. The VM has no idea it's virtual hardware is actually run on a different multi-cpu/core host.

Check out xcp-ng - it's arguably the best open source virtualization platform today. VMware server can definitely do this, if you have a license.
