A W/h either is a big problem or will be soon.

Agreed. I’d happily settle for 1GB/s, maybe even less, if I could get the random seek times, power usage, durability, and density of SSDs without paying through the nose.

which flash memory kinda sucks at.

Au contraire, flash is amazing at random R/W compared to all previous non-volatile technologies. The fastest hard drives can do what, 4MB/s with 4k sectors, assuming a quarter rotation per random seek? And that’s still fantastic compared to optical media, which in turn is way better than tape.

Obviously, volatile memory like SDRAM puts it to shame, but I’m a pretty big fan of being able to reboot.

15 GB/s is about on par with DDR3-1866. High-end DDR5 caa do well over triple that.

And that’s not to mention the latency, which is the real point of RAM.

I assumed the judge was going to his chambers to scream into a pillow because the case involved a sovcit.

He got snippy about someone PRing gender-neutral language, calling it “politically motivated.” His explanation was that they hadn’t sent previous PRs, which seems like a stupid reason to reject that one; some people are better with language than they are at code, so they’re more helpful fixing comments than fixing bugs.

That said, trans people were never mentioned, and the fight for gender-neutral language long predates any significant public awareness of trans people; also, “meltdown” seems like an exaggeration. He was somewhat rude, but not completely unhinged.

Between my bad Internet connection and my apparent tendency to be the very last person who decides to download any given torrent, I just gave up and paid my private tracker to ignore my seed ratio ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Israel is an even stranger member of the post than Taiwan IMO.

The average person can’t use Mac or Windows efficiently either lol

Possible? Absolutely. Pleasant? Hell, no.

Communism threatens capital. Fascism mostly does not.

Not sure what you’re trying to accomplish with this post.

Probably trying to stop OP from typing ll in a distro where it doesn’t exist and getting even more entrenched in their belief that Linux is hard.

Now there’s one agency I’m OK with Elmo burning to the ground. Maybe we can get him into the DoD and DHS next.

The camera crew walked out over gun safety. I’m not seeing anything about the armorer yet, so I may have misremembered.

Too late for that, I suspect.

But most importantly, don’t hire scabs. The union armorer staff walked off the set of Rust due to repeated safety violations. Instead of fixing the issues, management hired unqualified scabs and continued.

That’s usually the case in the US as well. I think Mr. Weinersmith just took some creative liberties for the sake of the joke.

But don’t be stupid about it. Stash a date somewhere that you manually update every so often (so that it’ll stop being updated if you’re fired) and then add a bunch of random waits whose durations scale with the time since that date. If you’re worried that the code will be found, comment it with some bullshit about avoiding race conditions.

…and now I can’t use that idea, since this comment would be used in court. If I did it to a weapons manufacturer, they’d probably get the death penalty somehow.

Well, it is now. They’re running an i5-4460, though, so they probably didn’t buy the 580 recently.

10, actually. 1-9 and an intermission with a different title.
