also, like, you (as in you, drinkypoo) have been bitching about Mac OS X for as long as there's been Mac OS X, so this new talking point really just feels hollow.
I'm consistent so you don't believe me? Okay, sport.
haven't heard about time machine fuckups, do you have a link to anything other than the obligatory "mAKe sUre tHE cAbLe iS PLuggeD IN" page every company has?
Looks like they are showing the base clock for Windows and the boost clock for Linux. The processor model was listed on the page you linked, so you could have found this out with google.
The final conclusion, "Ubuntu
So what you're saying is you think Java is optimized for Linux over Windows? I could believe that, but where are your benchmark tests? How did you leave those out?
Why can't you append "-quora" to your query?
-site:quora.com still works.
I can't imagine a single reason why having them on the internet at all should be the norm.
It's cheaper, of course. There's no other reason.
People aren't addressing the fact that when the infrastructure goes under it will pollute and cause blockage to the coasts.
Yep. There's tons of highly polluted properties on coasts, including refineries, fuel depots, shipyards, storage yards... Even if you removed the buildings and whatnot completely the soil would still be contaminated. And then there's the nuclear plants... Over 40% of them are coastal worldwide, and that number rises to 66% if you count plants under construction.
I think people running Mac are looking for simplicity.
Yes, they are deluded.
They are not going to switch to Linux unless they are techie and Mac gives them heck.
Even if their Mac shits all over them, they will praise it. Mac OS has been getting less and less reliable since about the same time they stopped calling it Mac OS X. The Mac users I know have become less and less enthralled with it as advertised functionality becomes more likely to malfunction. In particular they are distressed by recent degradations in the performance and reliability of Time Machine backups, which is arguably the thing Apple most needs to get right. (If all else fails, format the disk with your backups on it? THANKS APPLE.)
Skill issue.
If Israel's Arab neighbors really wanted to destroy it, all they'd have to do is ignore it and watch it eat itself from within. But they, too, need Palestine as a dumping ground for their own violent internal dissenters.
Alternatively, if, rather than arming both sides with missiles and other weapons that help create bloodbaths, everyone instead treated both sides like small children, put a wall around the country, didn't let any new weapons in, and just let them all pummel the crap out of each other until they tired themselves out, maybe both sides would eventually start to act like adults.
The thing is, there's a second part of the problem, which is that at least some parts of the U.S. government seem to see Israel as their proxy in the Middle East, and I get the feeling that Iran and possibly other countries see the conflict as an opportunity to cozy up to Russia by arming the enemy of America's proxy in the Middle East. And as long as both sides are getting armed by people who are more interested in being the friend of the winner than in actually achieving peace, the conflict will continue to rage on.
It's not really a proxy war, per se, because both sides have kind of hated each other since time immemorial, but even though there was always a fire, various world interests have elected to throw gasoline on it, and that makes the problem worse. Were it not for the realization that there's no good way to keep foreign political powers (Iran, etc.) from supporting groups that attack Israel, my inclination would be to believe that the right solution would be to stop arming Israel entirely. After all, if Israel weren't so confident that the U.S. would always have their backs and supply them with whatever weapons they needed no matter what they do, they might just be a bit more respectful towards the Palestinians as a people. But those foreign powers on the other side make that solution problematic.
Either way, I'm glad to see the U.S. being a lot less vigorous in their defense of Israel's missteps as of late, and a lot more critical. I hope this marks a turning point in the relationship between the U.S. and Israel that pressures Israel to stop taking unilateral actions in retribution against Palestine and to instead start asking other nations to help them get things back under control in a manner that complies with international law.
The only practical solution that would actually end the eternal conflict would be genocide of both sides, and all the rest of the middle east, but that's not going to happen (and few would argue that it should).
Genocide, no, but I've been sensing for a few years that a lot of the war hawks in Washington D.C. (mostly people with an "R" by their name) are trying to come up with justification for bombing the crap out of Iran, which might not end the conflict, but would definitely reduce the amount of fuel being added to the fire. I could be wrong about that — it's just a feeling based on what politicians say — but if that happens, I won't be surprised.
Folks with Windows for games probably aren't going to bother with Wine.
I've been a Windows to Linux waffler since I put Slackware 2.0 on a 386DX25 with 8MB RAM and 120MB ATA hdd, using Kernel 1.1.47 (thus dating the start of my Linux saga) with A, N, D, and enough of the X set to run Netscape 2.0. And on that system I played (besides the epic classics like Nethack) Doom and Abuse. I ran Windows 7 for some time because it was a great place to run most games, even most of the vintage ones, and a tolerable place to run other things. I ran Linux occasionally in VMware Player or from USB stick for tasks that Windows couldn't or wouldn't do gracefully.
Now I run Devuan 5, and I am having a fairly excellent experience gaming with a combination of Lutris, PlayOnLinux, Steam, and Proton-GE. I only have a Pinnacle Ridge (1600AF) and a 4060 16GB, but I only game at 1080p. I got the version with more VRAM for LLM stuff, and so if/when I do get a 4k monitor, the card isn't worthless. I am frequently surprised by how many games I actually can run with this combination. With the exception of games with Windows kernel DRM, by far the vast majority of them can be made to work well.
If I were only gaming, I'd probably be on Windows 10. But Linux now is a very viable place to do a lot of gaming, and thanks to work put in to support the Steam Deck, a lot of games will now run very well indeed. Publishers of older games are also putting in a fair bit of work to make games function on Linux today. The new Fallout 4 patch coming out (I know that game is old AF, but it has an extremely active community) is Steam Deck Verified, but the game has run at least as well on Linux as on Windows for years now.
I do sometimes indeed still use normal Wine, but more commonly I use Proton-GE. Try it out, it's impressive.
no but you normally talk shit so I had to clarify
You not picking up what I'm putting down doesn't mean I'm not putting it down for you.
Boeing airspeed indicator tricks flight crew into crashing plane.
I believe you mean the angle-of-attach indicator was causing a crash.
I AOA Disagree.
But seriously, yeah, it was Airbus that had airspeed sensor problems (pitot tubes).
But you don't, and won't - ever - talk about that, will you?
I absolutely will. Palestinians elected terrorist government that committed multiple war crimes and have a publicly stated goal of eradicating Israel. Israel is entitled to defend itself by retaliating proportionally. A lot of what happening right now in Gaza is well-deserved "find out" phase.
I would argue that Israel also elected a hard-line government (Netanyahu) that has repeatedly acted towards the Palestinians in a manner intended to subjugate them, limit their right to self-governance, limit their freedom of movement, etc.,.
Perhaps, after over half a century of Palestinians preaching - with guns and bombs - literal genocide, they're tired of it.
Israel has their share of sins to answer for, but the Palestinians begged for this. Many times.
But to play devil's advocate here, by that time, Israel had also been whittling away at their territory for decades, illegally taking land from Palestinians and giving it to Israeli settlers, all while denying the Palestinians any real say in the matter. They also occupied parts of Palestinian territory militarily until 2005, IIRC.
Don't get me wrong here. I agree that terrorism isn't an appropriate way to handle that situation, and I agree that Israel has a right to defend itself. But the Palestinians being angry at Israel over the situation isn't *entirely* unreasonable, and Israel's repeated disproportionate responses create martyrs and enmity, which is a bad outcome.
The Israeli people have a right to not be blown up by the Palestinians and vice versa. Both groups have a right to self-governance. Right now, it seems like neither side is willing to acknowledge those rights as applied to the other side. And that's the real problem. Both sides have to stop seeing the other side as a problem to be dealt with and start seeing them as fellow human beings before there can be any true and lasting peace. And that has to start with one side or the other stepping back from the extremist right-wing rhetoric and genuinely seaking peace. Until that happens, IMO, nothing short of outside intervention is going to solve the problem in any long-lasting way.
They're getting 200GB/s transfer rates for the on-die memory. It takes four DIMMs to total that much memory bandwidth on DDR5.
However, swapping to modular RAM has to be more performant than swapping to SSD. I don't know why they don't offer the option in at least the pro model. Sure, they have to add something to the kernel to handle two layers of swap, but that can't be too bad.
There's no reason in principle that you couldn't do this. Just stick a bunch of RAM on a PCIe bus and provide a driver that exposes it as a memory-mapped device under
I wonder if recompiling the FreeBSD swapctl command would make it possible to just add a huge swap file on such a device. Depends on whether they've kept the same syscall hooks under the hood, I guess.
They're struggling to keep their planes in the air right now, much less cars.
Boeing: The sound your flying car makes when it unexpectedly lands on the roof of your neighbor's house.
But you don't, and won't - ever - talk about that, will you?
I absolutely will. Palestinians elected terrorist government that committed multiple war crimes and have a publicly stated goal of eradicating Israel. Israel is entitled to defend itself by retaliating proportionally. A lot of what happening right now in Gaza is well-deserved "find out" phase.
I would argue that Israel also elected a hard-line government (Netanyahu) that has repeatedly acted towards the Palestinians in a manner intended to subjugate them, limit their right to self-governance, limit their freedom of movement, etc., and that Hamas becoming the government of Gaza more than a decade later was the entirely predictable effect. From the moment he was first elected, I predicted that he would end up radicalizing the Palestinians.
None of what's happening now should be a surprise to anyone. Some Israeli settler gets murdered, and Israel launches missiles. The disproportionality of Israel's response then radicalizes more Palestinians, who commit more atrocious attacks, and the cycle of hate is perpetuated, with both sides believing that they are justified. And that's what happens when you put hard-line right-wing leaders in charge.
IMO, there really are no clear good guys in this war, and plenty of bad guys on both sides. At this point, I think nothing short of the U.N. sending in peacekeeping troops and insisting that both sides disarm completely for the next hundred years is going to fix it, because both the Israelis and the Palestinians have consistently shown unwillingness to stop fighting, and have consistently elected leaders who spew anti-other-side rhetoric and foment war. And until everyone disarms and is under the protection of a neutral organization like the U.N., I don't see that changing.
