Hokei, so. Usb “packets” are 12 bytes or something, and it’s not good for performance to stop the flow. The solution is, as always, to have a buffer. Problem is that some kernel geniuses decided that GIGABYTES is a good buffer size. This was all when spinning hdds were the standard and new fast usbs were comming, but still.

Oh, and for some reason the transfer bar sometimes works fine for me.

It’s standard practice for ram, at least it was. I remember companies being busted with warehouses of ram sticks.

I feel like you are making up words

Uhmm… It was always possible to make an “app” that works on all linuxes the same.

I think it’s the air in the cloth that isolates, and water just fills the gaps.

Twitch promoted gambling for children.

He goes on about the bigger picture, while I was thinking about just manufacturing and maintenance. That graph cost going down could be due to manufacturing ramping up. You need big machines to make big machines.

It’s interesting how fast the price per kWh went down. I’m glad.

AFAIK wind hasn’t changed much in a long time. Not much to improve really. Cost is materials and labour, both going up. Probably still cheaper then coal.

Can link a video about how they work, and the chalenges tomorow if you want.

Lets say you use a variable named abcd in your function. And a variable named abcb in a for loop inside the same function. But because reasons you mistakenly use abcd inside that loop and modify the wrong variable, so that your code sometimes doesnt work properly.

It’s to prevent mistakes like that.

A similar thing is to use const when the variable is not modified.

Unix domain sockets, shared memory (classic and/or over anonymous file descriptors), file system in userspace, the (ms) ini format.

Was going to sleep when i wrote that.

Uds, shm, fuse for ipc. Ini for configs.

Having a company behind software means you can pay to have your bugs fixed. Big distros want that stability for their corporate customers. It’s no secret or anything. KDE has sponsors, but doesn’t have a direct relationship with a huge contractor like RH. Same reasoning for systemd.

Politics, basically.

I measured my fridge. You could, in theory. Problem is that the motor in the fridge (and in power tools) is an “induction load”, meaning it draws a lot more power in a split second when starting. Inverters have to be built with that in mind, or just stronger (killowats range).

So i checked the fhs. Doesn’t say it is deprecated. V3 just mentions XDG and glib (the probable sources of such claims).

Glitter will be a self defence weapon.

You can get lower latency with vulkan then with opengl. I remember some emulators (gamecube?) talk about why they implemented vulkan.

Paint, they always need paint. A lot of science went into that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_hgPinCZks

It is hard to draw conclusions without knowing much facts. How much is needed and how much is got.

They get roughly as much in donations as they spend on ff dev. They get a LOT more from google, that they spend on… bs.

You don’t have to know. It does not matter because your 8GB stick can’t fit 16 512MB files anyway. Funny enough it might fit 500MB files if it is FAT32.

Being consistent with base10 systems does not matter in real world usage. Literally nobody cared before the asshats changed it.

Edit: i also understand si, down to its history. I don’t live in an inch country. Computing is different then physical measurements. In computing 1024 is more “correct”.
