My guess is the big video ram is high resolution textures, complex geometry, and a long draw distance. I honestly don’t know much about video games though.
The smaller install is totally the map streaming stuff. I’m unsure quite why it has to be so big, but again, I don’t know video games. I do recall you having to tell it where you want to start from and it’ll download some stuff there.
Try your local library.
I think it was the EPA’s National Compute Center. I’m guessing based on location though.
When I was in highschool we toured the local EPA office. They had the most data I’ve ever seen accessible in person. Im going to guess how much.
It was a dome with a robot arm that spun around and grabbed tapes. It was 2000 so I’m guessing 100gb per tape. But my memory on the shape of the tapes isn’t good.
Looks like tapes were four inches tall. Let’s found up to six inches for housing and easier math. The dome was taller than me. Let’s go with 14 shelves.
Let’s guess a six foot shelf diameter. So, like 20 feet circumference. Tapes were maybe .8 inches a pop. With space between for robot fingers and stuff, let’s guess 240 tapes per shelf.
That comes out to about 300 terabytes. Oh. That isn’t that much these days. I mean, it’s a lot. But these days you could easily get that in spinning disks. No robot arm seek time. But with modern hardware it’d be 60 petabytes.
I’m not sure how you’d transfer it these days. A truck, presumably. But you’d probably want to transfer a copy rather than disassemble it. That sounds slow too.
Not looking at the man page, but I expect you can limit it if you want and the parser for the parameter knows about these names. If it were me it’d be one parser for byte size values and it’d work for chunk size and limit and sync interval and whatever else dd does.
Also probably limited by the size of the number tracking. I think dd reports the number of bytes copied at the end even in unlimited mode.
What a fun tool! It only looks at your public projects rather than your activity. I think. But it really is neat. Good use of ai. Nik approved.
Yeah! Every place I saw that did it seemed quite different from the US. I just thought it was neat that there are places trying this.
Mine looks a little like that. It’s my job though. Everything’s on GitHub.
Mexico does that! It doesn’t look super common but it’s a thing.
I used gerrit and zuul a while back at a place that really didn’t want to use GitHub. It worked pretty well but it took a lot of care and maintenance to keep it all ticking along for a bunch of us.
It has a few features I loved that GitHub took years to catch up to. Not sure there’s a moral to this story.
I think all those are a little true. But I’m mostly guessing. I’m happy to change my mind if anyone knows better.
Either way, these folks are my hero.
Windows -> RedHat -> Windows -> Gentoo -> Ubuntu -> RHEL -> Ubuntu -> Debian -> Arch
Five minutes of googling says some folks thing stone mason. Some copy and paste response says unskilled tradesman. Other response says translation is just “learned” so maybe they could read.
I’d never heard of this before so seeing that there is disagreement is a fun new thing for me. Especially interesting to see this “learned” response.
I spent a few minutes looking to see if a name I trust said any of this. Ultimately I don’t have the background to evaluate it and lots of folks spend their lives about historical Jesus. I didn’t see anything from anyone I recognized but, like I said, I don’t know much about this area.
We squash. I’m not really interesting in your local journey to land the change. It’s sometimes useful during review, but after that it’s mostly the state of the main branch I care about. It’s what I need to bisect anyway.
I don’t like commits that are just references to issues. Copy the issue into the commit message so git blame tells you something useful. Unless it’s just closing a simple big. Then the title and issue reference are plenty.
Depends on the project I imagine.
I wonder what my last commit at each job was. I’ll bet it was boring. About 10% of my commit messages are genuinely interesting.
I think the last new instruction the JVM added was invokedynamic like 10 years ago. I believe they did it so lambdas could be called efficiently. Polymorphic incline cache and stuff.
But the JVM has grown more complex in other ways. The way to force simd instructions is pretty wild, for example.
I don’t know enough to call it a mess or not. It works though.
I think Linux has grown beyond the good will from contributors. I got the sense most folks do this as part of their job.
So it’s not your boss. It’s someone who you have to make happy to do your job. And your boss can’t help. Quitting won’t help. Not if you want to work on the kernel.
It really does drive people away. I’m not good enough for the kernel, but there’s a project I could contribute to as part of my job but I don’t because there are mean folks there. My first contribution there was met with cursing.
I think blind itself drives some interesting bias. The public posts are pretty incel. You need a critical mass of folks at your company to have a company private board so it attracts folks from bigger companies. It doesn’t seem to represent average folks well. Unless I have no idea what average is.
I’m not sure what to do with that instinct. The overall results say a thing I wanted to hear. It all feels weird.
