... ID: New Procedure for Production of CCD Bias and Dark Reference Files . ... Finally, on a related note: We have changed the bias monitoring program for STIS in Cycle 8 in that we are now taking ~100 unbinned biases per week in CCDGAIN=1 (plus ~20 in CCDGAIN=4 and 14 in often-used binned modes in CCDGAIN=1) to enable one to create "straightforward" weekly unbinned CCDGAIN=1 bias reference files (thus eliminating the need to update the hot columns and thus the need to run the "weekbias" script). ...

... LWN.net FAQ . ... Read-copy-update (RCU) is a mutual exclusion technique which can operate without locking most of the time. It can yield significant performance benefits when the data to be protected is accessed via a pointer, is read frequently, changed rarely, and references to the structure are not held while a kernel thread sleeps. The core idea behind RCU is that, when the data requires updating, a pointer to a new structure containing the new data can be stored immediately. ...

... The retweet numbers are close to the values that Twitter has for the tweets, which means that I can't have messed up too much (I wouldn't expect perfect agreement since Twitter does not guarantee that any search will return all matching tweets; also, the Twitter values are updated whereas mine are fixed until the next set of tweets gets analyzed). The most re-tweeted accounts. ... Below I show the distribution of the number of times an account tweeted (this excludes retweets made by the account). ...
