(and you can be butthurt about it all you want. It is not disingenuous when they straight up tell you that your time as a user is not important to them.)
It's amazing how much faith you have in humanity, given the sheer amount of vitriol you've just been spewing at society in general. I've definitely heard of it.I mean, I've heard people say it happens. I've seen people point to folks claiming it, even.
I don't think I've ever seen either hold up to, like, any scrutiny whatsoever, though. The former is pretty much every friggin' time just a flat bloody lie, and the latter tends to involve folks that are royally fucked up on one front or another. Convenience might be the words they sayin' but it ain't the reason they doing it.
But it's not just amount of RAM that matters, it's cache size that's also important, which is a CPU metric. A memory fetch can be something like 200 times slower than an L1 fetch. So if you use too much memory for the sake of improving performance (such as gratuitous lookup tables) you can gum up your cache and run slower.
I mean, I'd describe myself as pro-life because abortions for the sake of convenience seem to me only somewhat more ethical than drowning the kid at birth for the sake of convenience (just a lot safer for the mother). I get that it's a grey area and you don't want to force someone to try to raise a child that they don't have the means to, but my preferred solution is to one way or another prevent getting into that situation in the first place (this is of course a social problem and not easy to fix). Abortion, to me, isn't a cure, just a palliative. Are there circumstances justifying it? Certainly. In the case of risk to the mother or other more delicate reasons (etc.), it's understandable, but I struggle to accept it as a response to choosing not to use a condom. You can't just take a kid back to the shop if you decide you don't want it.Nobody has ever gotten an abortion "for the sake of convenience" I'm fairly certain.
Though if you are fully in the "you got knocked up, deal with it" side of things, I assume you also think proper societal support is important?

Getting developers to comprehend that not everyone trades out their computer every 2 years like they do (because waiting on the compiler is an arduous task, that their time is better spent doing things elsewhere), and thus the real-world environment their code will be running in is not the bleeding cutting edge they are always using (and where their code runs fabulously!), further gets them in a pissy mood when you bring it up.
The maxims I always hear are "CPU is cheap. Ram is Cheap." Or, in other words, "You should have a 24 core threadripper, and 50gb of RAM, like I do."
Oh, little thing to show of the overton window stuff I've mentioned. Is there anyone here that defines their own views as conservative? May be a couple, but I get the feeling they may be pretty heavily outnumbered...
There are actually threads for pretty much every geographical region, so you may want to keep this as a generic political discussion thread.
Keep it up. I love the clothing stuff too, I keep meaning to go buy stuff but the fabric store I frequent might not be open due to lockdown at the moment...
Is there another circumstance in which the "vertical line "vibrating" to a voice" is used? Because it seems very familiar to me but I can't place it.
