I never get to the point where I had to manage memory. Am I doing something wrong? I just move processes to the CPU in order of highest-starved first, then move them off when they're green.

As a Magic player, yeah some people definitely have a compulsive addictive gambling relationship with the product. And Wizards has been leaning into that recently with more rare versions of mechanically identical cards. However, you can buy

Yeah, I did a scraping project a while back where I wanted to look back at historical snapshots. Getting the info out of Internet Archive was surprisingly difficult. I ended up using https://pypi.org/project/pywaybackup

Really? I thought most of the excess cost of healthcare in the US is due to the artificially restricted supply of doctors, causing them to have extremely high salaries compared to similarly demanding work in the US, or to the same work in o

To the extent that housing speculation exists, it's because of the lack of supply. So you have the cause and effect reversed.

Doesn't this type of thing prove that we can just... start manufacturing things domestically if we really wanted to? Which would presumably be when it actually makes sense to do so? But it mostly doesn't right now, so we mostly do

PNG should be used for some types of graphics, like whenever you have big areas of solid color (like logos) or any time you need translucency / transparency. Although, nowadays you can and should use SVG in most of those cases. JPEG sh

No... the reason housing prices are high and rising is that not enough housing is getting build in the places people want to live. The main reason for that is that the people who already live in those places can block construction of new ho

You're gloating about the hardship which editors, journalists, writers, our informational institutions are facing because... sites stopped having a Links page in 1998? What the fuck, man.

It's simply that blue states haven't been making a case that democrats know how to run things. I would seriously recommend reading Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson.

Also in Japan, when you need something? You just raise your hand and say "sumimasen". Instead of waiting forever or needing the wait service to constantly check in on you.

Indeed, the distinction used to be useful. But now, it's not useful because honest-to-God roguelikes are just not getting made outside hobby projects. Meanwhile, roguelites have become a core pillar of modern gaming, artistically and c

It's an interesting problem - the approach I've taken in the past is to simply highlight all sections that are on the screen. This is pretty straightforward to do nowadays with intersectionObserver.

This was obviously designed as a customer-friendly way to cut scalpers out of at least part of the initial supply chain. Scalping has been an incessant problem in console gaming due to supply shortages, and it makes everyone miserable excep

I don't understand why you brought up ADUs... nobody thinks ADUs are the solution to the decade+ long housing crisis. Blue states need massive state-wide zoning reform that overrides local control.

Even if you’re 100% correct, these aren’t the right people and these aren’t the right methods. Completely the opposite actually.

Funny, as a casual player starting out, dinking was a skill I really wanted to gain proficiency in. But now most of my opponents just drive or overhead as hard as they can, which I think is very un-fun to play against. The points are short

Yeah, 20 years ago when I started building websites I was still in my CS major. We didn't have these huge layers of libraries and frameworks. I wonder how much I would know now if I didn't have to just build everything myself. We

You definitely don't want actual counterfeits to exist in the game at all. Even if they're for personal use, they'll end up getting into the supply, and someone gets screwed over because they don't know any better. Inste

I've spent quite a few hours on this thing when I've needed something non-linguistic for my brain to engage in. If it was World of Warcraft, I'd probably be a level 30 rogue.
