Pied Piper middle out compression for your RAM

But seriously it's so ridiculous especially since he said it in an interview with a machine learning guy. Exactly the type of guy who needs a lot of RAM for his own processes working on his own data using his own programs. Where the OS has no control over precision, access patterns or the data streaming architecture.

I really wonder about the marketing departments of these things. Why repeat names, if the names already have numbers anyway???

Need for Speed does the same shit. And even Doom (2016) is called the same as Doom (1993)

A good first step would be: don't make your own proprietary graphics API (Metal) and support Khronos standards (OpenGL, Vulkan) instead.

It's weird, this is presented as new, but I had adblock on Firefox on Android from the start.

That and flash support were two of the major reasons for using Firefox on Android in the first place. This was back around 2010, when most porn sites still used flash players for video. Then flash died, that was fine. Then at some point Mozilla reduced the available extensions a lot, but at least some adblocker was still available.

Everyone but you got it, I don't think the issue is with the joke.

I thought I made it really obvious, but I guess I'll spell it out explicitly: @[email protected] was making a joke, telling you to diversify into covering other things also called mint, like the finance app this comment section is concerned with.

Yeah, you could open with a feature on the budgeting app Mint perhaps, you know before it goes away at the end of this year.

64.75 Swiss Franks per month from my ISP, it's the same price as their 1 Gb/s and 25 Gb/s plans.

I'm currently still on 1Gb/s because buying the faster router, switch and network cards to make use of more is kind of expensive

I just don’t buy this twice as efficient bullshit.

Do you understand how heat pumps work? The heat you're drawing on is the the heat of the outside compartment on the outside, therefore the heat moved to the inside can be more than just the heat equivalent of the electric energy you put in. That's how these achieve more than 100% efficiency, in general. In fact if the outside isn't so cold outside they can achieve 300%-500%.

Now the trick to moving heat from a cold outside compartment to a warmer inside compartment lies in the compression. If you draw even a moderate amount of heat energy into your medium, then compress it, it will turn quite hot allowing you to dump heat into your warm inside compartment. Then as the medium flows out you let it expand and it turns really cold, cold enough that it can draw in heat from the cold outside. But the lower the difference in temperature of the outside air to your expanded medium gets the less heat you can transport per unit of time, that's why we're only looking at 200% here.

No, I haven't.

macOS... I have to use it at work unfortunately. It's truly the worst interface. Plasma is the best, then Windows, then Cinnamon, then Gnome.
