They were likely the equivalent of $3k today. That's part of why these things don't last. Nobody wants to spend $3k on a fridge.

Their TVs and phones have terrible PWM and are bad for your eyes anyway.

Just showing a question causes CC to spin a cpu core at 100%.

It's probably just a side effect of them being powered on at the same time or not?

This will be optimized away. You'll just end up doing more.

Yeah but in practice I'm not sure that really works well with any GCs today? Ive tried this with modern JVM and Node vms, it always ended up with random multi second lockups. Not worth the time.

It doesn't matter. The GC does not know what heap allocations are in memory vs swap, and since you don't write applications thinking about that, running a VM with a moving GC on swap is a bad idea.

lol Linux Mint with latest KDE is WAY snappier and quicker to start than Win10 on my laptops
309.
by winrid 1y ago
Exactly. Nowadays, most web services are run in a GC'ed runtime. That VM will walk pointers all over the place and reach into swap all the time.

It's still extremely slow and can cause very unpredictable performance. I have swap setup with swappiness=1 on some boxes, but I wouldn't generally recommend it.

Needs a faster database

Oh wow, had no idea Bastion was made with Monogame and C#!

Amazing how much faster it tends to be than my indexed search in intellij.

by winrid 1y ago
Yeah, the rechargeables always do but not most single use, kind of weird that way.

Zig has a pretty great type system, and sometimes languages like Rust and C++ are not great with preventing accidental heap allocations. Zig and C make this very explicit, and it's great to be able to handle allocation failures in robu

That doesn't require multi threading.

It's a node app, it won't use all memory by default, only a couple gigs.

Time. If it takes more than like 30 seconds to setup the masses will never adopt it.

Also same tech used in laptops. I was always wondering when we'd see this in high end phones.

Except for fiber, for all providers I'm aware.

Did it slow down compile times at all to support two different file structures?
322.
by winrid 1y ago
Yeah because some enterprise customers override/extend those panels.
323.
by winrid 1y ago
I know. My point is you can do better without a library.

What's the benefit of promises like this here? Just spin up a loop of 50 call chains. When one completes you just do the next on next tick. It's like 3 lines of code. No libraries needed. Then you're always doing 50 at a time

Especially after you inherit a few huge JS or Python projects...

I don't know zig - is this query type safe in that if I change a member name in the struct it'll fail to compile? https://github.com/jetzig-framework/jetquery usually I do this with codegen, pretty cool if zi

They must have found some really bad security issues in the old backend they can't fix, or something. It's a bad look.
