Are there people still using swap partitions? I've been using swap files on Linux for years now.

> The old rule of thumb used to be 2x actual RAM for your swap file/partition size. Which was always a dumbass rule that made no logical sense. Like, I remember a time when I had 4 GB of RAM and had my swap set to 8 GB. Then I upgr

Yeah, once you reach a certain speed, even colliding with a fleck of dust can obliterate a ship. Colliding with a single 0.3 mg grain of salt at 20% of the speed of light creates an impact with 560 MJ of energy, equivalent to 130 kg of TNT,

Elder millennial here, though my sister was young GenX. I was born in '82, she was born in '79. I'm pretty sure my parents stopped hiring baby sitters once my sister turned 12. But even aside from that, I was allowed to play

If you know how to write it manually, then do it. In my experience, Claude Code is great at making a first-pass at a project, but once you start asking it to make changes, it explodes. A bug fix that should only be 2 lines turns into addin

I deliberately emphasized conversational interfaces. Finder, toolbars, and terminal utilities don't have conversational interfaces. Those have point-and-click interfaces or rigid command structures. And it's not that English i

> If we multiply that by 30x for video (a fair assumption for models like minimax H3, which take that much longer to make video) It takes about 7 minutes for my RTX 5090 to generate a 15 second video with MiniMax H3. At 600 watts, that&

How would you suggest it do that? Take a simple example. "I found three issues." How would you phrase that without an "I"? "Three issues were found" doesn't tell you who/what found them. Was it t

Meanwhile, my idleness is so ingrained that sometimes I can't even make myself do the things I WANT to do, like load up a game that I've been wanting to play. And I'm just tired...all the time. I do nothing and still I'

I've found that the speed of the DMV seems to vary wildly by state, and possibly even city and location, based on anecdotes. Earlier this year, my license was expiring and I decided to get a Real ID. I was able to create an appointmen

Once you go above 144 hz, the returns really start to diminish. Going from 60 to 144 hz in games was great. Certainly noticeable. Going from 144 to 240, it's much more subtle. I'm not sure I'd even notice 500 versus 240 un

Vance trying to pull off a 25th would be political suicide. Trump's fan base is absolutely rabid. Anybody trying to exercise the 25th Amendment would be treated as a betrayal of the party and country, and I'm sure some morons wou

This doesn't really refute what Dah00n said. Sure, GDP in the USA is growing faster than the EU, but the question is who is benefiting from the increased GDP ? The answer is in Dah00n's comment. The rich are getting richer, whil

Framing Flock as just an ALPR always feels disingenuous to me. More charitably, it's at least naive. And even if it WAS and will only ever be an ALPR, I'm incredulous that people would accept it.
