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

The differences can largely be mitigated at the operating system level.
Exactly. And that also means that they have to be mitigated at the OS level and in this case, the kernel level.It would usually be fine if the system had nothing other than RAM and fixed storage, but anything else (as simple as keyboard drivers and stuff) and you will need to make the program accordingly. Maybe even SATA would require handling endianness.
Honestly, I thought that they already handled endianness, due to how many different things Linux works on.But if it doesn't then I don't see there being much of a requirement.
For networking devices and such, I'd rather favour more customised solutions either way.
IDK, maybe he is washing the plates or sth?

Yeah, that won't really be doable just by an extended dictionary.I myself tend to use Google sometimes, to look for stuff like "one word for the phrase ..." and most of the times the AI is the one giving the answer.
you can’t use all your clothes at once
I just have to explain each and every facet of this silly little analogy to you because you really just only want to stick to your line of , "unused memory is useless".Alright, I will.
You can use the other clothes to:
- wear multiple layers
- lend them to your friends or whomever wants them
It can be a shared wardrobe, like in events and such:
- then, having remaining clothes means, others can come and take them
Unused memory is not useless.It gives an option to others whether or not to use it.
And caching stuff really has nothing to do with having used Python vs C++ or Rust or whatever.That is a totally different option.
If your program is taking up more working memory, you then have less memory for the caching, that you are calling "good".
In your example, those tools are providing you with insight and you could turn them off. They have to index a bunch of files and build models of them in memory.Then when you actually run your compiler, it’s helpful that your OS has probably “wasted” some RAM keeping source files cached after a few runs, even the ones you haven’t edited recently.I am not going to even try to explain it to you how far that is from what I mean by the words the you can go up and read.
And when creating a framework for scripting, you need to be careful about the features, least you end up forcing single threading everything. (See X4)
I hope you’re not claiming that to also be wasted memory
Yeah, I'm not.And I'm not talking about the optimising compiler part, but about the continuous code analysers that give warnings and completions to the IDE on the fly.That was just an example to show how low 8GB is nowadays.
But it’s not unused memory.
Its unused until I decide to run said second program to use it.⇒ Unused memory is not useless, but usable.
What you were saying earlier would have been the equivalent of, "the other clothes kept in my wardrobe are useless", when you clearly have the option to use the clothes in that wardrobe.
That’s used memory
That's memory not hogged by a single program, making me able to use it for other stuff.
because you look at your computer say it’s all being used
You're lucky you didn't bet any material thingy on it. I wait for the OOM killer to fire up before saying, "it's full".While I do have enough memory on my desktop, I only have 8GB on my laptop (the other 8GB one I bought, went bad early, or maybe it's just the slot that has stopped working, it could be anything), making it hard to even use the
clangtools on large projects.So there is this game called "Endless Sky" and its high-dpi stuff is in another separate package.If I install the high-dpi package on the laptop, it crashes before even completely starting, while it works perfectly well, on removing the high-dpi package.

I remember having an Oxford Dictionary CD as a child (got it with the physical copy).Unfortunately, it stopped working long ago (and I didn't rip it), but while it did work, I had quite a lot of fun reading up on word-origins, synonyms/antonyms, pronunciations and whatnot.
I'd honestly rather be able to connect something like that to Calibre (and other programs) with DBus, rather than use AI for a definition. And that was just a single CD (I can be sure, because I didn't have a DVD reader).
So, perhaps some other use case?
Yeah, even adding a default blank GUI, greatly increases memory usage.
I guess that's another reason to prefer CLI programs. They reduce the system resource you need to have free at any point of time to do whatever you need them to do.
In a condition when my computer is heavily swapping, I'd go with
htoprather thanplasma-systemmonitor“fake developer accounts” (for remote work, which is all we do) collecting paycheques until fired,
I remember reading a story on such an incident. But honestly, I thought it would be something extremely rare.Because, how does someone get money without providing work? And if they are giving actual work, then does it really matter if they are doing it themselves or making a bot do it? (despite it possibly requiring much greater effort to make a bot do a person's job well enough)
On the other hand, I see it being possible in case managing party doesn't care about whether or not the work is being done, for a long enough time, but can't the fake worker be caught and dismissed before the payment period in that case?I mean, in my case, after working for the month, I have to submit a time-sheet and get it approved by the project manager and if they say that the work I have done doesn't justify the time I state, they can simply refrain from paying up and ask me to reduce the claimed time (and still keep the work I have given them (ok this part would be illegal if they don't pay me at all, but it's not like I can prove that they used my work)).
spying
This seems more viable. Industrial espionage and what-not. No idea how many sectors are competitive enough for anyone to consider this, though.
And then comes the point of interviews. Either it would be that the person has enough domain knowledge to clear the interview, or they are somehow getting lucky and not having to clear the interview (??feels weird saying that in the comments section of a post showing how hard it is to even get to an interview).I feel it difficult to understand how someone would be able to get anything more than an entry level job, when they don't even care to work in the field. Some kind of master con-artist, maybe.
a lot in garbage bin
Looks like the use-and-throw cartridges philosophy of companies is backfiring, making it easier to make an Open Source one.They'll probably try to sue for reusing their stuff.
But I guess, now I get another reason why picking out of trash is criminalised in the US.
As JustEnoughDucks said, this is pretty "cheated".Specially the cartridge part, which I considered to be the main barrier to entry.In fact, the main reason I went through the article was to find out how they managed ink delivery. Hopefully someone tries that part too.
It can sometimes be hard to pick out a single sheet even by hand.Having to do that with something having a much lower sensitivity definitely has quite a few challenges.
So, if I take an old CRT, fill the tube with ink and squint outward, will I get an inkjet printer?
automated applications
What are these things exactly?Do you mean someone has a bot to apply to stuff no matter whether they are interested in the job?Or even worse, that there is no real applicant on the other side?
I have only taken technical rounds, so have no idea of what the HR experiences.
ability to send mail without a stamp
But can that mail be used to cancel Gym membership?
historyis shell dependent.Oh, stuff like
git diffandgit logwill end up being omitted pretty often.And a lot of times, the commands that end with piping intolessMy output was empty for that command.
Guess why?Because
historyonly gives the last few lines in my system.It was quite a while before I realised that was possible.Then not long after starting to use it, that I got fed up and just started opening up the history file and searching in it.
No, LibreOffice is way better nowadays.
And that is mainly thanks to MS Office having gotten way worse than before.
There is a long standing problem where LibreOffice becomes very slow when adding images. That hasn't been fixed, last I checked.But thanks to MS Office now being slow all the time and also taking up way too much RAM, meaning that opening 4-5 Word+Excel documents on 8GB RAM means you are constantly using the page file (my exp. with Office 2015 back then), LibreOffice's problem is not a big deal any more.
Your experience might not match what I am saying, because I am comparing MS Office on Windows vs LibreOffice on Linux.
