Totally. I would add that code that "works" it's easy to do. Code that it's efficient, easy to maintain and safe... That it's another story.

But the sad truth is that most software can be or it's done with shitty code that "kinda works" as long as the CPU it's fast enough.

And if you're in one of those jobs, you don't get paid the big bucks.

Yeah a ramdisk would probably work wonders. It's a shame Intel optane didn't became a standard, those type of workflows would be amazing for it.

Ya know, here on the local market there are a bunch of optanes hanging around, I'll try to manage one to check if there's any improvement

Optanes will be good for latency, but not so much for BW which seems to be your major bottleneck if I'm not mistaken?

yeah, the mobo upgrade is something I gotta do anyway, so I'll cover that up more or less, the optane is something I didn't thought about

Ahhh damn it. Intel! Come back!

I bet we'll the the SUV mania in the future as something crazy, like smoking in a plane or using lead for gasoline. Irrational large size cars that people get because everyone it's afraid of another SUV hitting them in a sedan. The tragedy of the commons.

You're right, but there will be some brand new, even worse social psychosis by then, surely. Cigarette smoking actually makes more sense to me than giant cars -- at least it only hurts the person doing the smoking!

I think this is the way, automated testing for all patches, small changes, and manual testing for big releases.

One should be melting sand to get silicon, anything else it's too abstract to my taste.

Glad you’ve got all that time on your hands. I am still working on the fusion reactor portion of my supernova simulator, so that I can generate the silicon you so blithely refer to.

Spite is an underated productivity tool.

I've partaken in some SDD (Spite Driven Development) myself related to the Garmin ecosystem. The problem with it is once you stop caring, the development stops too.

As many flaws as the npm/yarn/pnpm ecosystem has, its interoperability is waaaay better than the whole juggling act between pip, ven, poetry, Anaconda, Miniforge, and uv across projects.

UV it's a step in the right direction, but legacy projects without Dockerfile can be tricky to start.

Liferea looks too old, has a lot of bugs... But man that thing makes me happy, just headlines and click what I want to read.

What bugs did you have ? I am still using it and am very happy with it.

Specially in the high end, you want oled or high refresh rates? You have to buy a "smart tv" that requieres internet to setup, even if you plan use it only with an HDMI device.

I miss old dumb tvs

Yes, but even lifestyle changes (like a diet low in glycemic load and building muscle) can help reduce many of the harmful effects of type 2 diabetes, even sending it into remission for some people in early stages.

Type 1 is a different story. It’s the lack of natural insulin production (due to a damaged pancreas, autoimmune or other causes), basically the opposite problem to type 2, and no amount of lifestyle changes will replace of need of insulin doses.
