Likewise enjoy your wandering, and in your journey may you encounter a something worthy of setting as a goal, something that captures your heart.

Not all journeys are equally valuable. A goal is critical to point yourself in a worthwhile direction.

He doesn’t, if he’s honestly ok with that. But you only have so much time, why not pick a goal that is achievable? Seems like a waste.

If you’re doing it as a learning experience, then more power to you. But be honest with yourself about your motivations. As someone who usually takes on too much, and makes similar rationalizations, the road can be fun but it’s not going to

Funny you say that since this drop was mostly caused by inflation, which in turn was partly caused by putting money in the pockets of the people. There’s no free lunch. Inflation was up above 6% and people saw their buying power drop by 8%.

JavaScript can do that too. Web browsers defend against DoS attacks in the browser by popping up an alert asking if you want to kill the tab process or not. I don’t see why sqlite can’t be run under that model as well.

I wish they didn’t remove sqlite from browsers “because it’s not an open standard”. It was one very important thing in common between mobile and web, and now it’s clunky and slow on web when running over WASM. I don’t see how that was in an

What a ridiculous comment. Are you trying to say all groups are equally dangerous? You know that’s ridiculous right? If you want to say Sikhs are at least as dangerous as the average, I’m open to see a statistical argument to support that p

Could you use them for your own purposes? Not to rent/resell? At that price differential, on premises might make much more sense, provided you have decent utilization. Your breakeven is likely well under 10%.

Pardon me for the stupid question, but wouldn’t you get much better bang for the buck with high end consumer GPUs from Nvidia? I think you’d be limited to 16gb memory per card, but you could have a full 8 card system for less than the price

Yes, thanks for clarifying. That’s indeed what I’m talking about. I don’t know if that’s also applicable to Libya. I don’t know much about the history.
