One of the things about my getting older is that I stopped thinking that I would ever be anything but a fool, and started looking for ways to cheat so that being a fool doesn't hurt so much. 1) record all experiments/benchmarks in some form so that I can find them later (because 6 months later when I am thinking I should have checked XYZ, I won't remember them well enough to be sure of them anymore). 2) have someone review all code and ideas before I give them to a large audience 3) if some benchmark result doesn't make sense, I don't let go of it until it does, because chances are high it is the only clue I will ever get that something bigger than the obscure measurement is wrong in the code and in my understanding. There is a remarkable tendency that I have noticed, that the best scientists in most fields are more quick to assume themselves to need careful methodology than most others in the field. I encourage you to figure these things out at a younger age than I did.;-) Hans - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
