"then" is used to depict time, sequence or a causal relationship. "than" is used with comparative adjectives, to depict comparison.

  • Doesn't that mean that your encryption algorithm and key is stored inside the code?And since you are opening the code in Visual Studio anyway, just follow the function called by the "Decrypt" button, copy the function into another project and now you have a decryptor.

  • Considering that there is no immediate karma count display, there is a pretty good chance that people reading the spacegrassfields are going to react on the bs first and consider checking out their history later.

  • I have said this before somewhere, but this feels like something that would be very well suited for places where electricity prices have gone extremely low due to "too many solar panels".Also, in places with excess geothermal output etc.What are these companies really basing their installation locations upon?

  • I am going by mainly 2 points:

    • DDR4 being dropped in favour of DDR5
      • What if the places with high quality output end up just staying on DDR5
    • DDR4 being taken by the cheaper manufacturers
      • Ever since seeing how well my old SK Hynix DDR2 has lasted, I have been kinda partial to it. paying $10 - 15 extra to get something that I won't have to replace for the device's lifetime (~20 years) makes sense to me
      • The new modules made by the cheaper ones might not end up being as good and reviews may be hard to find as most enthusiasts that do quality testing, tend to do so only when the tech is new (and now that is DDR5)
  • Sadly I am not in a location where people just discard useful parts.If I were to try buying 2nd hand here, I would most probably end up with stuff that has some or the other kind of of damage.

    For instance, in one of the companies I worked at, their policy for getting rid of stuff was:

    1. If unneeded but working, then send to another department
    2. If malfunctioning but fixable, get it fixed
    3. If not worth fixing, then auction it off
    4. HDDs? repurpose or shred

    And the auctions occurred years later after much red tape...Mostly bought by other companies, who get to do more red-tape stuff to buy it.

    While on one hand, this is a good thing, reducing wastage, it also means that I have no way to get 2nd hand stuff for hobbyist usage.In case we do get 2nd hand stuff, it is usually through a 2nd hand dealer, who then ends up with a higher asking price than what it's worth.


    Also, I am not expecting there to be any AI enthusiast nearby me.

  • It's a bit different in this case.

    The responsibility of providing electricity falls onto the nearby power plant, which then also has to increase their production.But the maker of the new electricity consumer does not need to pay for the capital or anything else really, apart from the electrical rates (and some minimal fixed rates) that they are using.

    Some governments are coming up with interesting, seemingly effective regulations, though.

  • Perhaps if we started using SVG or PNG instead of compressed JPG for graphs, it would have helped a bit.

  • The difference between find -type f and find -type d

  • Yeah, just checked the 2 sites I use for computer components.1 had no RAM listed.The other had 32GB DDR4 at 2x the price and no 128GB kit (96 was the highest, 64 for DDR4)

  • Yeah, the main problems right now, seem to be electricity consumption, causing price hikes in surrounding areas.

  • Oh no.So even if I manage to somehow get DDR4 for lower prices, I can't expect the SK Hynix modules.

    Guess it's going to be a few more years before I can get a RAM upgrade, or maybe never at all.It might end up being similar to how DDR3 ended up being more expensive than DDR4 for multiple years.

  • Guess I should have bought the 128GB 3600 kit earlier.Are DDR4 also affected?

  • Feels like this thing should require an extra flag in case of gcc in this day and age, or a separate compile-time defined variable, specifically for cases where you don't want to require the flag.

  • Perhaps run 20 billion threads and you will end it by the time the universe doubles its age.

    What? I can't set /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max to 20 billion‽Gotta send a bug report to the Linux kernel.

  • Definitely good in the long term.Now everyone using it knows that they need to have a backup system in place.

  • I have version 2.52 and it is already the default.

  • That's lovely.And I just realised what I needed was an Internal and External Tooth Lock washer. I didn't know before, what it was called.

    A pity that the US pricing is to high for my country, on top of which, it might be shipped from the US, adding expense.

  • Oh, so that's what the "freeze ray" is being used for.Nice

  • Ooh nice.

    The optional bit messed it up, because even though I can make my scripts easier for me, other's scripts won't be.But then bash had to be usable with sh scripts, so I get it.
