I got a ThinkCentre M75t Gen 2 with a 4750G. Note that this was out of the box; when I added two more memory modules to get 48 GB of RAM, it rose to ~20 W on idle, but I kind of expected that.

How would you save memory using vectors for example relative to using CDR-coding?

Worst case scenario, you can probably patch your compiler's COMPILE function to store the data somewhere before performing the actual compilation. As for CCL, it seems to work for me just fine as long as you set CCL:*SAVE-DEFINITIONS*

Please show me where the GDPR talks about the behavior of software as opposed to the behavior of legal entities. To my knowledge, GDPR puts limits on what legal entities do to other people. Software is not a legal entity.

While in general I'm tempted to agree with you, if anyone deserves it, it's probably telcos anyway.

I was talking purely about what the GDPR might require you to do. That Thunderbird tells you more in no way necessarily means that GDPR requires it. GDPR doesn't prevent you from voluntary disclosing information. With extremely high

My thought was "I'd expect the average HN reader to be already familiar with foundational libraries". GMP and MPFR are pretty much one step above glibc in terms of how basic/widespread they should be.

My point was, if the company is getting $10k extra per sale but actually for example spending a total of $12k per sale, then arguing with these sales seems pointless if they're actually worsening the company's situation. At this p

On that note, Fat-Free Framework may be following similar goals. I'm not into PHP myself but I know a few people who really like it.

So that should make it easier, right? Generally having lower population density helps these things (for example because more precipitation falls on larger areas, with the clouds not caring how many people actually live in those areas).

I was thinking about this, and one solution that came to my mind was serializing the heap into a temporary image and restarting the environment from an updated Wasm module with new code. This would also collect all garbage at the point of t

Getting something "for free" is hardly an issue since liquid oxygen is quite cheap as a percentage of launch costs (for example in case of Falcon 9, it's less than $100k out of ~$28M of launch costs for a reused Falcon 9). No
