You’re doing it wrong, you’re only allowed to hate AI and if you don’t you’re a crypto shill or something idk
- Comment on Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week 1 month ago:
So essentially you’re saying that communication falls apart and you don’t have the correct tools for remote work.
That’s fine, it’s a new issue to solve, no one has it perfectly done yet.
I completely sympathise with this, I have experienced it when I was a stonemason for 10 years (I say stonemason, I am a qualified banker mason but I have been programming machines to do the work for me). And I overhear and interject my experience with the new lads often. But now I’m at university 3 days a week and everything has fallen apart.
So we use discord, where we can all talk and ask advice about how to do X but not need to be in person. And in my experience it works exactly the same, I can read everyone’s input and offer my own.

What are you doing where you have to drive around aimlessly?

On a serious note, why?

I mean SCOTUS just made a ruling getting ready to make trump king of the US…
I wouldn’t put the US on such a pedestal

It’s quite funny how terrified of China Americans are.
- Comment on Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough 4 months ago:
I mean I develop software on an 8GB laptop. Most of the time it’s fine, when I need more I have a desktop with 128GB ram available.
Really depends what type of software you’re making. If you’re using python a few TB might be required.
- Comment on Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough 4 months ago:
I get around this by simply not buying a Mac. Free’s up so much money for ram.
- Comment on Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough 4 months ago:
This is resource reservation, it happens at an OS level. If chrome is using what appears to be alot of ram, it will be freed up once either the OS or another application requires it.
It just exists so that an application knows that if it needs that resource it can use X amount for now.

Oh no I dislike him, the problem is you coming off as a complete jackass

I dunno about the US but in the UK it isn’t a crime to accidentally record nothing happening in a public toilet

Damn when did having a shit become illegal
- Comment on The Google Pay app is dead 5 months ago:
You can use that same argument against any currency. But you’re mistaking digital currency as being different than physical currency. A $ is a $, digital or physical they are both the same value.
- Comment on Using Ubuntu may give off a hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect. 5 months ago:
I use Ubuntu on my servers because it just… Works, out of the box I can run my scripts and have no issues 100% of the time. On desktops I used to use SolusOS for gaming as that was the only Linux OS at the time I could comfortably game on without many hiccups.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
Yeah I don’t have any issues with you growing your own meat, I bet you take care of them. My issue is with industrial farming, not you.
I used to gut and skin animals my self to eat but I just don’t have to desire to do so anymore, I’m happy with plants.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
I was agreeing with you against that thinking, sorry if that wasn’t clear
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 6 months ago:
It also doesn’t work if you’re not “antagonistic and smug”. People don’t like to change, so they aren’t going to change their eating habits.
It has nothing to do with how people talk to you and everything to do with you just liking meat.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
The vocal minority of any group is delusional
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
Being proud of yourself for not eating meat doesn’t stop the mass amounts of suffering in the farms though.
I became vegan once someone showed me what it meant to eat meat, had they not done that I’d still be eating animals grown in pens.

Sorry for the amp link,also it’s not the study but a summary of said study
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
I mean I’m vegan and I’ve got nothing against hunters, like they said we’re animals and animals sometimes eat animals. Most vegans are against animal farming as there is no way to do it humanely on a large scale.
I personally wouldn’t eat a hunted animal, right now but if civilization was to fall it’s fair game.

- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 6 months ago:
God could you imagine the security risks though, having a physical risk in a network, that would be fun. Limewire on steroids.
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 6 months ago:
I can speak from experience that content delivery is harder than storage. Companies like YouTube tackle the storage issue by having tiered storage levels. Trending content is stored on SSDs, new and often viewed content is stored on harddrives with a caching system similar to optane and archived storage (essentially old videos that very rarely get views) goes on tape storage. It’s really cool, and it allows massive about of storage in a small space, it’s costs alot to implement but because of the tape storage they essentially have “infinite” (it’s not really infinite of course but it’s a problem for next decade not this decade).
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 6 months ago:
Actually the cost issues wouldn’t be the storage it’s self. Storage is pretty cheap, it’s content delivery networks. YouTube is supported by being owned and run by one of the worlds larges content delivery networks. There’s virtually no latency, videos play immediately.
Having millions (potentially billions in YouTube’s case) of people accessing data at once is an immense challenge and YouTube perfected it pretty early on, that’s part of why there’s no competition.
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 6 months ago:
Oh for sure, I remember buying my first SSD and booting windows in under 10 seconds and being like whaaaat.
I am starting to think maybe I am a ram hog.
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 6 months ago:
It’s not worth trying to understand windows ram usage, it will drive any same person insane. The laptop uses intel optane as it’s main drive, which is slower than an SSD but much much lower latency so should actually be perfect for the job of being swap. But it shit the bed.
