Yeah fair, kinda funny how implied tone can work when reading things. On my first read, for some reason I took the "skill issue" as more playful but on second read, who knows.
RAM is a resource that works best when you have more than you need. I always want there to be some unused RAM because then my system can do anything it needs to without spending time swapping out the least recently used pages before it has any free ones to use.
Shitty programs that take GBs of memory to do things that should only need MBs or KBs of it isn't "getting my money's worth out of my computer".
The connectors on the back of the TV can be oriented horizontally (like parallel to the screen, not perpendicular), which at least changes the pull force to a torque force, which isn't ideal but easier to hold on to.
While the 5G conspiracy shit really went off the rails, Gates is no saint, despite the image he's trying to portray of himself through his charity. I'm not going to make a judgement on this until more information comes out, because I could see it being either way.
Iirc you can create custom syntax highlighting formats for notepad++. So if it's not there by default, someone else might have made a file for it, or you can start making one yourself, as the format was easy to understand. It's been like a decade since I've used it, but it should be somewhere in the menus.
I think it is a joke, though not one we're supposed to be in on.
The hint is that that is a very well made map for someone who doesn't understand how water flow really works. They turned the ocean trenches into rivers. It's a parody of someone who doesn't understand gravity but still uses it properly in demonstrating how it should look incorrectly.
I still can't tell if most instances of them are a) genuine, b) trolling stupid people into believing dumb shit, c) trolling smart people into believing they believe something stupid and enjoying the frustration as they fail to convince them otherwise, or d) conning true believers like that guy who just wanted to fund his private rocket launch did.
Like it started with group B, but it's impossible to tell group A and C/D apart, if they are really dedicated to the bit. Like those youtubers who did various expreiments that would show which way it was, got results consistent with ball earth, then dismissed those results as something being wrong with their experiment could be strong denial but also just sounds like trolling and if I had to bet, I'd probably bet on it being a troll (or someone knowing their video will get way more hits like that because it's a hilarious result that did get a lot of round earthers to watch to mock it).
Tldr, I think we might all be getting played, though none as much as the poor fools that really do believe and donate to "flat earth science".
Like for instance, when epic came out with their exclusive access titles being a part of their business plan, valve could have responded with their own exclusive access system and had a good chance of killing off epic and others in the process. Instead they just ignored it and people like me continued using them and didn't even consider epic even when their anticompetitive actions switched to ones that would have benefitted me (free games), because I could see the shithole they wanted to bring gaming to if their platform achieved dominance.
I'm sure there's plenty of other reasons to not steal a tesla. It being a mobile surveillance device being one of them. Also, if I was going to steal a car, I'd pick one with better build quality and one that doesn't have a different fire exit than the normal way to exit that I'd probably be going for if my car was suddenly on fire.
Yeah, a lot of programs will likely run fine. The common issues will be solved. But the subtle ones will be frustrating. Plus I worry about a situation where apps target x64 and run on ARM but aren't supported on ARM, kinda like what we've got with games on linux right now.
This problem is far more difficult to solve than x64 windows apps running on x64 linux.
While x64 and ARM are both turing complete and thus anything one can do, the other can also do, there can be subtle differences to the way they do them.
Like one I'm aware of is the atomicity of loading memory using a co-processor register, which is required for accessing thread local storage, and introduces a subtle race condition if someone uses user mode multithreading (which can be way faster than kernel mode multithreading) without handling the case where they get preempted between moving that register's value and doing the load, and end up running on a different kernel thread when they get back (because you need one kernel thread per core). That thread would end up with the pointer for another thread's thread local storage, which tends to break things pretty badly.
That's just one that I'm aware of. There's probably tons of other subtle differences that mean you can't just have a map of "x in x64 means y in ARM" and use that to generate a compatible binary. It would probably run, but it would have bugs that the original doesn't that are only seen in rare edge cases.
Not that I want to discourage this effort, but this is a problem an order of magnitude or two more difficult than the one proton solved, which was essentially just a bunch of wrappers that convert one API or OS behaviour to another equivalent one.

Playful banter or a deadly duel of words?
