Doesn't the Nissan Leaf get about 60 miles?

I was looking at a cheap used one that was down to 45 miles, I think.

30 miles gets me to town and back so it would only last a few years at that rate.

RAM used for cache and RAM actually used by applications are completely different things.

The first is acceptable because it's usually disk cache that's immediately freed for use by other applications, while the second - when in excess - is usually a symptom of poorly programmed applications. Pay attention to the Windows memory manager, which shows how much memory is being used in actual cache and how much memory is being used by applications.

Hanford announced last week that their spent fuel vitrification plant is officially in operation, converting nuclear waste into glass ingots that can be safely stored for millenia. If they keep going for about a century they might be able to vitrify the spent fuel we already have. But we still have no place to store the ingots.

All these small modular reactors have the same deficits. They require high assay low enriched uranium (HALEU) produced only in Russia. They're a proliferation risk. They require a substantial footprint with passive and active defenses, 24/7 armed security, security clearances for all the highly paid professionals involved. They're slow to approve, finance, build. They're more costly even than classic nuclear reactors to build and operate, and those are the slowest building and most costly form of energy which means high energy costs when (if) they are finally built. Traditional nuclear reactor projects have a 95% failure rate from proposal to generation so 19 times of 20 they never deliver a single watt hour. Those times the money is just spent and lost. The one time in 20 that the generation comes online to produce the world's most costly power doesn't even include those costs.

At Hanford cold war nuclear waste continues to seep gradually toward the mighty Columbia river. Inch by inch.

Somewhere in America just now a homeowner just plugged his DIY solar panels into the inverter and battery he bought on Amazon for the first time. It will give power 24/7 for 30 years at no additional cost. It was quick and cheap. He didn't even need permission. It won't kill his family, nor yours, nor mine. There is no chance that his solar panels will result in radioactive salmon or other seafood.

Fusion Energy would, eventually, be cheaper than all other forms of energy.

Fusion Energy would stop Global Warming because the carbon dioxide and other pollution of fuels would eventually be eliminated.

In China the answer is the state is subsidizing the companies and they are operating at a loss due to province subsidies.

No, sorry. I'm not buying it.

I don't hate the other guy for "their politics". I hate them because they are racist, neo-nazi, fascists, misogynists, anti-american, anti-freedom, and anti-democracy.

They are busy tearing the country down and cheering about it. That's why I hate them. Not "their politics"

Now, you can call all that "politics" and just shrug, but then fuck you. This is about way more than "politics"

*Real* Republicans would never be on board with this MAGA shit.

Yeah, sorry, I'm not really complaining. And yes, I'm not a big fan of huge modern frameworks. gcc all the way, yeah !

;-) It's the 3rd iteration of this project. When I got it 15 years ago, I decided to do just that. Well, not really, I was tasked of writing a test program to see if it could replace part of the old one while the 'official replacement program' was being discussed, and since it worked fine I ended up rewriting the entire thing. The official program never got off the ground, but there is now talk of doing it for the 4th iteration... I want no part of it.
For the curious I work in scientific research

They're talking about LineageOS. Think Graphene but it doesn't just run on Google hardware. Over a hundred devices and they just added mainline kernel and qemu support so it potentially runs on thousands of devices.

Sadly with less hardening. I wish Lineage would take some Graphene patches. The crazy thing is Lineage descended from Cyanogenmod which had many of these patches!

I'm more scared of it than anything, particularly since I've been asked to add something after 10 years !

Who can I sue? I thought Microsoft said that Windows 10 would be "the last version of windows"

Should I spend all the money to upgrade to a new computer just so I can run Windows 11 for a few years?

Should I stay on defunct Windows 10 until Windows 12 is available? I would surely be upset if I bought a Win11 capable computer only to learn Win12 has all new incompatible requirements.

Has anyone reviewed the environmental impact of making all of the Win10 hardware go to the landfills?

I guess I will have to look up the best Linux option and make the move. The year of Linux has arrived for me. Thanks Microsoft!

... to see how many here FAILED to understand the point of the TFA.

Let's turn RAM into dollars to see if it makes it easier to understand the fucking point of the article: You have, say, $320 available. And you only need $3 of that to do the job you need to do. Why, for all the creatures of darkness, do you think you have to use all the $320 to do the same job just because you have $320? Is it because the $320 “is free” so you should use all of it? When out of the $320 available, you only need $3 to do the job?

Just because you have 32GB of RAM available doesn't mean you should waste it! And every mentally challenged individual who says, “Oh, memory is free now” should first be burned alive and then dismissed from any and all tasks vaguely related to programming.

It's a good thing to have an overproduction of food. It means that, with the proper distribution channels, everyone can eat; and if there's a bad year or two, like a volcano spewing ashes in the upper atmosphere like happens every 200 years or so, we won't all starve.
On the other hand having an overproduction means the prices fall down and farmers go broke. No easy way out...
