asciilifeform: well yes, that was the ancient thread
asciilifeform: normally when storage is scarce (or data set is huge) one cannot afford the waste of 'file system' that is not the same as the organization for the set
asciilifeform: i (and $maxint other people) did it on 'commodore 64' floppy disks
asciilifeform: for folks who liked the 'twirl/twinkle' thread
asciilifeform: in all seriousness, 'associative computing : a programming paradigm for massively parallel computers' (j., potter, 1992)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: possibly. what's your application ?
asciilifeform: and if ssd, will get impedance mismatches during write if your db isn't tuned to match the cache
asciilifeform: except that if said disk is mechanical, you will get impedance mismatches
asciilifeform: in principle any existing db gizmo that can be coaxed into using a single file for the store, is quite ready to be planted down on raw disk
asciilifeform: 'Two Secret Service agents suspected of being under the influence while striking a White House security barricade drove through an active bomb investigation and directly beside the suspicious package, according to current and former government officials familiar with the incident.'
asciilifeform: the Cs cannot be measured accurately in-circuit

asciilifeform: and this is one part. 'won't eat whole egg to see how rotten'
asciilifeform: on the flip side, all the folks who laughed at me for slowly grunting to build own p&p fab, can begin to consider stopping laughing now...
asciilifeform: on to prevent any future issues. If you are able to provide us a test procedure, we will be happy to use that to verify the boards before sending them back to you.'
asciilifeform: I will have our reels of 470 Ohm resistors verified first thing in the morning. I'd like to send you a return label in the morning to send the boards back, so that we can review the work on the boards and verify and replace any parts which are not testing at their required values. Additionally, this step would help us to determine what has gone wrong in the assembly and why your components are not operating within specificati
asciilifeform: 'That is very strange indeed. All of the house parts we currently carry are supplied by Digikey and Mouser, and are name-brand parts. At this moment, we only stock and only order parts from US vendors who are authorized vendors for the components we purchase. (This is why our BoM tool will often list parts as unavailable, even if they can be found at non-US or non-authorized dealers.)
