Pytorch cuda tries to allocate memory but it is not available

If you see an error similar to this one:

RuntimeError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 11.88 MiB (GPU 4; 15.75 GiB total capacity; 10.50 GiB already allocated; 1.88 MiB free; 3.03 GiB cached)

then, try reducing the batch size.

    train_loader = DataLoader(
        train_dataset,
        shuffle=False,
        pin_memory=False,
        batch_size=2, # was: 16
        num_workers=12,
    )

A recommendation to rename "criticality" -> "priority"

Just throwing two cents here - if the pandemic taught us 10 things, one of those ten gotta be that small details in communication matter very much. With that, I recommend renaming the word "criticality" -> "priority". The reasoning is as follows. And be careful with the red color in the smart sheet too, please, for the same reason. 

An example of a bug report and the technical conversation around it to resolve it

I recently had to justify the amount of effort that software development takes. Someone unfamiliar with the process thought that software development is easy, or that it doesnt take much time. They thought, for example, that an advanced reporting app can get pdf export capability if they just said to the development team, "implement pdf export." Literally, they thought that writing a single line of text like that in a specification document would result in the organization gaining that functionality. 

A directory of SMTP sending services

Due to an unexpected service interruption, I've recently had to evaluate numerous options for SMTP services, to replace a one that was showing signs of performance degradation. The AWS SES is an obvious choice, but what if it is not available, or your organization requires diversifying to other providers? Below is a quick list of contenders that I have compiled, with my comments on each. 

Testing async code with Jest

After a little bit of struggle, I have managed to implement a jest that correctly tests an async fetch call. That is, suppose clicking a button initiates a POST request, and upon success some action takes place or some message gets displayed. I needed a test to assert that the action indeed took place.

My component looks as follows:

How to import and export users to keycloak

First, I recommend setting up a backup. This way, exporting and importing users is done via backup. You would not need to recreate the realm: you can do a partial import of users into an existing realm.

My keycloak is setup with backups via docker:

A review of some on-prem software services

I recently came by this picture at r/selfhosted and thought it useful for reviewing which services I use, and more importantly, which services I am missing.

The original post said that he hosted all of these on a single raspberry pi. Regardless of whether that is the case for you, or for me, I think reviewing which services are running, would be useful.
