She campaigned for a segregationist when she was in college. So I think that's just her true colours.

The free market's gonna have to innovate real hard to build manufacturing facilities at scale without access to the components required to build manufacturing facilities at scale.

I thought they were already trying to claim trans people were burning down the Tesla dealerships.

What does lexicons refer to in this context?

Should I be trying to upgrade to 2.0 if I'm not sure if I have 1.0 installed?

Because if your name was URL then it could have a scheme in it which is just plain weird.

Do you, by any chance, have a link to that research? It'd be really cool to be able to have that.

NATO didn't start the war, Russia did, when they literally invaded the country. Both in 2022 and 2014.

Uhh, probably best thing is to make sure you ask questions to clarify the problem they give you if something is unclear.

Impossible, time isn't real, therefore months aren't real.

And if I didn't allocate data then windows could just compress the whole thing to zero which is completely unrealistic.

The demonstration isn't about bad code though? In real situations that would be used for caches and things which result in dramatic performance improvements for applications.
The only reason I allocated memory filled with random data is it's easier to demonstrate a point with fewer variable.

And yes, I am aware you said it's not accurate down to the gig, but we're talking about 7-8 which is about half of the memory I was using, and is a significant amount of memory, especially in a standard compact device such as a laptop.

Note: the discrepancy here is because initially the memory dropped to 8 GiB which is what I was thinking of when I wrote 8, but it shortly raised to 9 which is what I ended up writing earlier.

In fact, you can see the three console windows alternate between Alloc and Dealloc because they're competing with each-other for memory. As memory pressure increases one instance releases memory, which then reduces it, allowing another instance to allocate memory.

I closed nothing except for my console application. So where did that extra 8GiB of free memory come from? I don't know specifically, because I didn't check, but it would have come from other applications that allocated memory that wasn't absolutely necessary and could be dropped if needed.

What this console application does is it allocations 1GiB (filled with random data) of memory. Then waits 10 milliseconds, if the memory pressure is low (using the API I linked earlier) it will allocate another 1GiB, if memory pressure is high it will deallocate it. It then repeats from the wait.

Sometimes the common industry practices are based on incomplete knowledge. And I wrote a little program to demonstrate this to you. Now, for context, before I opened up Visual Studio my computer was "using" 16Gib of memory. Now it's using 9GiB and I only closed those console applications.

And the issue specifically comes in where somebody might look at their memory, see that they're "using" a lot of memory and decide to buy more ram. But in reality that memory is only in use because unused memory is wasted memory.

The flag in this case can't affect things because the browser can't do anything to trim 300 tabs of memory any further. But if you had one tab open and then opened a video game it definitely will start dropping things like memory cached files.
comment in response to
post
I mean I figured that the 300 tabs was obvious enough that I didn't need to spell it out. But my point is that you'll find that even with a more reasonable of tabs you'll probably find that a lot of memory is still used due to otherwise low memory pressure.

The application doesn't "check" memory usage. It asks the operating system to notify it when available memory is low or high specifically so that it knows when to scale memory usage up or down.
comment in response to
post
That's not quite as useful as you might think. Mostly because applications will "use" more memory if you have more available memory (within limits). But a lot of that would be stuff that would be dropped if memory pressure is applied.

This pretty much sums up most programming work that is done. It's fucking depressing.

Honestly, that's the part that makes it fun. It's really crunchy. But what really sucks is when the rules are just broken, like the AI rules in data trails.
