Another thing to check is that you're using all your available processors. SQL licensing places restrictions on the number of processors/sockets/cores it uses, depending on the version. This query shows the processors on your system, and whether they're all available to your SQL server. select cpu_id,scheduler_id,is_online, current_tasks_count, status from sys.dm_os_schedulers where status IN ('VISIBLE OFFLINE', 'VISIBLE ONLINE') If your SQL is using them all, you will see a status of 'VISIBLE ONLINE'. Any 'offline' processors mean that SQL is not licensed to use those processors. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/compute-capacity-limits-by-edition-of-sql-server?view=sql-server-2017 SQL Server edition Maximum compute capacity for a single instance ( SQL Server Database Engine) Enterprise Edition: Operating system maximum Developer Operating system maximum Standard Limited to lesser of 4 sockets or 24 cores Express Limited to lesser of 1 socket or 4 cores

Are you running your database under SQL 2012 compatibility mode? You should be; SIMS performs very poorly if run natively on SQL Server 2014 and above. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mis-systems/147490-sims-slow-after-upgrade-sql-2014-a.html

I've started to make a few music projects in Bandlab. It's a full-featured audio/midi workstation. Stand-out features for me are the pattern-based drum machine, the fantastic effects (go beyond the presets), automation on both MIDI and audio and the overall ease of use. It's an extraordinary web-app. If you have any interest in making music, you must try this. https://www.bandlab.com At present, only the Chrome browser supports all the features.

I recently found this software for phones. Chordbot. It's fantastic, well worth the £3.75 for the Android version. The trial version is fully featured but you cannot save or export anything. Chordbot - A songwriting tool / electronic backup band for Android & iOS In a nutshell, it's a song composition tool. It's worth working through all the features, such as sections, instrument mixers, etc. Furthermore, it has some excellent drum patterns and can be used as a standalone drum machine. All the pads, chords, arpegios, basslines and drum patterns can be exported as MIDI files too, so your masterpiece can be exported to a sequencer for further work if you like. Anyway, it's really grown on me and I think it's well worth a look.

Just finished the series. It was an excellent piece of television. I thought it resolved very well, all things considered. The bath scene in the final episode isn't pleasant.

That's terrific. Time to re-air the "Hard Dish Installs The Manual" if that's OK....

I started watching this the other night. I'm about 5 episodes in and enjoying it. There's a LOT going on..... Interesting use of colour temperature to indicate past times (warm, sunny temperature) with present, post-suicide times (cooler, blue temperature). And of course the plaster on his head....

Ah. In this case a reboot might be necessary as realmd might not have restarted the services properly. See if that helps.

I ran realm through an strace on my system and got this: ~$ strace realm execve("/usr/sbin/realm", ["realm"], [/* 62 vars */]) = 0 so it's running from /usr/sbin Mine's Ubuntu, so yours should be pretty close. Try /usr/sbin/realm

No, you shouldn't need to reboot (it's not Windows!) Which distro are you using? Maybe realm is in the secure /sbin directory. Try /sbin/realm

You'll like realmd. Once it's installed, it just works and you can forget about it.

realmd might be what you're looking for. It's available on recent Redhat/Centos releases, as well as Ubuntu/Debian. It's quick and easy to set up. https://outsideit.net/realmd-sssd-ad-authentication/ The full manual is comprehensive, but it's operation is quite straighforward. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Windows_Integration_Guide/ch-Configuring_Authentication.html My notes for joining Ubuntu 14.04 to AD: Joining Ubuntu to Active Directory using realmd refeence: http://www.mylesgray.com/infrastructure/utilising-kerberosad-auth-ubuntu-14-04-realmd/ realm discover [domain] realm -v join [domain] -U user e.g. realm -v join MYDOMAIN.SOMETHING.UK -U myusername Edit config files Edit /etc/pam.d/common-session Add this line at the end session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022 Edit /etc/sssd/sssd.conf Comment this line to allow short username entry. #use_fully_qualified_names = True Configure Ubuntu greeter to allow free-text manual log-in Edit /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-ubuntu.conf [seatDefaults] user-session=ubuntu greeter-show-manual-login=true

Another revelatory concept is 'chordal tones' (or 'chordal notes'). This is where a note in a solo (or a vocal note) emphasises the underlying chord - most effective when playing over a chord change. Dave Gilmour is a master of this, as is Carol Kaye (v. famous session musician). It makes the difference between a rambling solo/tune and a solo/tune with purpose.

You'll need to understand the relationship between chords, notes and keys - harmonisation theory. When I'm doodling with a song, I always have a circle of fifths chart nearby. http://ezstrummer.com/SS2/Navigating-The-Circle-of-Fifths.pdf

I use a BOSS BR-80 standalone recorder. It's a great practice tool as you can record your own multitracks and play along with them. I hate recording directly to a computer, but that's just me. Here's a song I wrote for Christmas. I recorded bass (using the guitar-to-bass simulator), acoustic and electric guitars on the BR-80 using the presets (no amps involved), exported them to Ardour for mixing. A friend added keyboards and did the vocals. Warning contains (a bit) of swearing.

I find this amazing. If they really believe this (there's always the possibility that they're just doing it for shiggles and gits) their mind model requires more complexities than the real world. For instance, how is half the world dark? Their explanations call for almost insurmountable complexity compared with the simplicity of reality. It's astonishing.

I'm a big fan of SQLite. They are self contained databases files - not exes. They don't need a server, which removes the headaches of security, permissions and db user problems. Furthermore, SQLite is everywhere - from watches to supercomputers; it's the most widely used database out there, so it's a great way to learn SQL. The kids can take the SQLite database file and work on it anywhere. Here's a great trick - if you use Firefox, there's a rather nice add-on which gives you graphical management of SQLite databases. It's as good as any manager. Running from Firefox, it's also device independent. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/ Overview of SQLite language structure. https://www.sqlite.org/lang.html More of my ravings here: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-7/154055-sql-training-infrastructure.html#post1321188

I found cloth-covered mains cable when I hacked off the walls in the bathroom. Anyway, I changed the lights in the kitchen for a heavy array of suspended bulbs - loads of wiring, plus it was part of a loop so had to wire in the return. Trying to hold that lot up while wiring it in to the ceiling really tested my patience. They have those stupid chocks with screws. Ridiculous. Why why why don't lights come with spade connectors, like car electrics? Simple job to crimp a spade connector to a bare wire, then wiring new lights would be simple - just plug them in. There has to be a reason, but why?

Normally you extract the tarball to a directory e.g. tar -xvf debconf_1.5.24.tar.gz This extracts the tarball to a directory of the same name, so change into the directory cd debconf_1.5.24.tar.gz or whatever it's called it then, if there is a config file, config then make then sudo make install and that should be it.

Perhaps you''re right. More development needed.

Here you go. I thought it was on iPlayer, but it turned out to be a regional ITV programme. If you're not in Wales you probably would have missed it. Wales Programmes

Quite a problem. Imagine a driverless car going down the road and seeing Theresa May and David Cameron on opposite sides of the street - but it can only run over one of them. Gives software engineers sleepless nights.

I can't remember. I'll try and find out later. I'm pretty certain that it was on last night, though.
