I’m on a 16GB M1 Pro. Slack, Zoom, then browser tabs for Jira, PagerDuty, GMail, Confluence, and a Google doc and it’s swapping like mad. It’s that fast SSD and the integrated memory, so it swaps quickly. Swapping is still swapping though.

It looks like a good value if you can get by with 8 GB of RAM. This is a market niche that will sell, but it doesn’t replace the Air. The Air has 16GB standard and can be ordered with up to 32. I’m also curious about the benchmarks between

Proteins aren’t entirely fungible, no. Some of them have things in common, though, sometimes enough to do similar things. Industrial protein use doesn’t need to be precise enough for life. There are research teams in Japan, the US, and the

Sometimes for physical property the police take it and the owner can get it back from them. That much is sometimes free. My motorcycle got returned, but if I wanted compensation for the substantial damage done to it I would have had to get

That’s a disincentive to authors in their later years if it’s a straight rule. We’d need something like a minimum of 20 years or up to their 100th birthday or something.

Every market on some level can be analogized to a common and simple market. One of the common examples in management books is the signage industry. You can have custom logos custom molded, extruded, embossed, carved, or at least printed ont

There were years in the 1990s and early 2000s when it was easy to get faster runtimes by using more memory, back when even on a multi-user system like Linux or BSD was typically running one main program at a time. We had multiple hardware w

Listen, I fully support your right to buy and use whatever you want from Priscilla’s or Adam & Eve. Keep it consensual and not in public view though, okay? AI use is similar. Ask it to do whatever writing or text wrangling you want, but

One of the comments on the original article plays aerodynamics off as unimportant, saying only up to 0.4 miles per gallon difference. Even if that number was true, this is an industry that gives drivers patches on their shirt or hat for ave

I buy a lot of books for an individual. I have a dedicated library room in my home, and that’s not the only place there are bookcases. I shop by ISBN often because I want specifically a particular edition in a particular cover. So it’s not
