Long running work unit

[szopler]

Ah, OK - I forgot that deadline is automatically extended.
Also thanks for an information about behaviour of the task.

[Jacob Klein]

Speed completed another one!

~217.4d CPU Time

The status ended up with:
Completed, can't validate

It's frustrating to watch these completed tasks go nowhere. Can anything be done?

[gemini8]

Oops - you did it again!

Iirc your results are validated manually against already existing offline-results.
So, they're not going nowhere but will be used.

Yes, but..........
My point is that I have accumulated 5 of these "Completed, but not being sent to any wingmen for validation" tasks now, *5* of them accumulated over the past few months
... RNA World doesn't seem to have ANY PLAN? to resolve them?

I have only two tasks waiting for a wingman, but one of them has been waiting since 2012. Will that one ever get verified?

[Michael H.W. Weber]

Hm, I guess I need to really set myself a deadline to finally do that manual validation thing...

Michael.

[Jacob Klein]

Please. We're begging you.
Maybe make it something that you check every week or every two weeks.
Or .... gasp ... automate it!

[Michael H.W. Weber]

...the problem exactly is that it can't be automated.

Michael.

[Jacob Klein]

I bet it could
Anyway, if you're comparing files (text, or binary even).. I'd recommend using WinMerge.

[Michael H.W. Weber]

Unfortunately, binary comparison is not what we can use in this case because we already know that the returned results are NOT bit-identical.
However, if you like, I might send you a few "to be compared"-results to play with...

Michael.

[Jacob Klein]

Yes, please do send them to me -- I am highly interested!
If you teach me how to do the job, I may volunteer to manually compare all that need manually compared!

[Michael H.W. Weber]

I will have to sort things out and then send you a PM for further details.

Michael.
