Comment on RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices

RAM is not really expensive. You get enough RAM for most tasks the use of which you can understand, as a fraction of the normal amount for any machine.
You can load a can’t stress how good planetary map into RAM wholly, without paging it.
Many text editors today just load the whole file into RAM.
That there’s much demand from some other side - oh yes.
BTW, I just got a thought that this might be aimed at hurting China and East Asia in general, when the bubble pops, in the west it’ll be just investors losing what they deserve to lose, but in East Asia it’ll be actual production rebuilt for the bubble dying in pains.

What? You might want to proof read that. The only thing I got from your text is that text editors load an entire file into memory, which has been the case for decades unless you go with a special purpose editor.

One data point: emacs normally loads the whole file, unless you’re using the vlf package or similar.

Ed and sed don’t load the entire file in, but vim does. Not heard of TECO before 😄

TECO’s kinda-sorta emacs’s parent in sorta the same way that ed kinda-sorta is vim’s parent.
I compiled and tried out a Linux port the other day due to a discussion on editors we were having on the Threadiverse, so was ready to mind. Similar interface to
ed, also designed to run on teletypes.vacuumflower@lemmy.sdf.org 4 weeks ago
Holy crap, and these people think they have right to talk about computers.
You can have a 12G text file, logs, suppose, you are going to load the entire file into memory? And you think it’s normal?
I think you might want to put more effort into reading. This seems to be your weak side.

You really should put more effort into proofreading.

I can’t load a stress how bad your proofreading is. Don’t blame that on others.

So in how many languages do you write, and in which of them do you write better than I sometimes do in English? Other than your first one.
Corridor8031@lemmy.ml 4 weeks ago
By your own logic, considering how you wrote your first comment, you should not have the right to talk at all
just read it again lmao
vacuumflower@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks ago
No, and you are not an authority on my own logic.

Are you regularly opening up 12 gig log files in a text editor? Personally I’d use something like elasticsearch or less/grep for a local file.

It’s convenient to keep positions of many things, have marks, make comparisons. Ideally have multiple windows looking at the same file.

Yes, that’s very nice when you are already storing that something in a database. I said “suppose”.

This is the part people are struggling with, because it’s probably 3 difference sentences mashed together, whether in your head, by your fingers or by an autocarrot, but regardless its completely incomprehensible as a result

Ah. OK. So I speak a language, where such constructions are a bit more normal, except commas and dashes are used more generously, and synthetic grammar helps.
“You can fit a (can’t stress how good) planetary map into RAM wholly” might be a bit better? Anyway. OK, they’re struggling. They are choosing a weird way to inform me of what.
