They shouldn’t do that. It won’t go well for them.

Ok, we can stop punching each other, as long as I get to keep punching you. What do you mean you don’t accept?

If Apple would implement Vulkan, it would probably happen.

The cheapest one I know of is about $8 a month, so it should be affordable, even on a tight budget.

You can buy a super cheap cloud VM and use a (self hosted) VPN so it can access your own PC and a reverse proxy to forward all incoming requests to your own PC behind your school’s network.

It’s arguable whether this would violate their policy, since you are technically hosting something, but not accessible on the internet from their IP. So if you wanna be safe, don’t do this, otherwise, that could help you get started.

Yes, but then you’re not using IMAP.

If you’re using IMAP, the emails aren’t completely downloaded by Thunderbird, just the headers.

If it’s just hours, that’s fine. I’ve spent months on a system before that ultimately got scrapped. When I was at Google, they accidentally had two teams working on basically the same project. The other team, with about 40 engineers, having worked on it for about a year, had their project scrapped. My team was meant to do the same work, with about 23 engineers. So if you’re ever wondering why Hangouts Chat launched kinda half baked, that’s why.

Knowing the footguns in your language is always useful. The more you know, the less you’ll shoot your foot.

Disgusting war crimes.

I feel like if ChatGPT were the only LLM on the market, they’d have a real path to profitability, but it’s not even the best LLM on the market. And the open source models are nearly as good, meaning the vast majority of people who need an LLM can run it on their own hardware.

It’s kind of like trying to make a profitable business out of offering a special sauce that isn’t as good as your competitors sauce, and is barely better than the free sauce from Taco Bell. Oh and it costs you millions of dollars to produce a single bottle.

If you’re transferring files over a socket (like through SMB or SFTP), the receiving end usually has a small buffer, like 64KB. It’ll just pause the stream if it’s receiving data faster than it can push it to disk and the buffer gets full. So usually a file transfer won’t use much memory.

There is some poorly written software that doesn’t do that, though. I ran into a WebDAV server that didn’t do that when I was writing my own server. That’s where you could run into out of memory errors.

Apparently people don’t like hearing that. xD

I use all three, Mac, Linux, and Windows, all the time. Mac is the only one I’m ok with having 8GB of RAM. At least 12 on the other two, unless you use zram swap on Linux, then you can get away with 8. Afaik, Windows doesn’t have anything like that, so 16 is best, but 12 is ok.

I don’t really understand why people would downvote that.

Mac is generally really good at handling memory, including compressing it on the fly. My guess is anyone complaining is looking at it through the lens of Windows, where 8GB is not enough for a lot of tasks.

Edit: here’s an article about it, https://www.lifewire.com/understanding-compressed-memory-os-x-2260327

What I use for a lot of my sites is SvelteKit. It has a static site generator. If you like writing the HTML by hand, it’s great. Also HTML5 Up is where I get my templates. I made the https://nymph.io website this way. And https://sveltematerialui.com.

Backups and rollbacks should be your next endeavor.

If it doesn’t, I would consider that a bug in the router.

Routers are not particularly known for being free of bugs.

Yes, indiscriminate bombing is a war crime.

And we warn to turn them into glass if they fucken try it.

If you want cheap encrypted storage you can run a Nephele server with encryption and something like Backblaze B2.
