You eventually run out of caches to evict.

That is completely irrelevant to this discussion about using the RAM you’ve paid for.

At that point you can still fall back onto swap on NVME.

Doesn’t Apple use pretty damn quick NVME? I wonder how much of a performance drop it actually is. Certainly not as bad as running a swap file on a 5400 rpm HDD…

Isn't that NVME also very expensive to replace because it's tied to hardware identifiers? If you keep swapping all the time, surely NVME would be the first part to fail

This was heavily debated in the 11.4 timeframe because there was risk that this version of the OS could excessively wear NVME.

The issue was subsequently resolved but the consensus was with modern wear leveling this isn't so much a thing.

I have a 2021 MacBook Pro with the original drive. I use it heavily for development practically every day and just dumped the SMART data.

As always, YMMV


JD vance whined that we shouldn't protect middle east shipping lanes because he believes it helps Europe more than the US.

Don't make me defend JD vance.

He said Europe should pay their fair share for protection since 40% of their trade passes through those lanes but only 3% of America's.


Why focus on the consumer side, especially when so many of the current administration are brazenly in bed with the regimes that benefit from free oil flow in the region? (Kushner & MBS)

You’re not forced to repeat his rhetoric, maybe think critically about it.


How much of the destabilization of North Africa and the Middle East is America's responsibility, and how much did Europe pay in absorbing refugees from it?

Should Germany be sending DC a bill?

If I recall correctly, America didn't even say 'Thank you'...

You really think the US should stop supporting Ukraine?

Who's talking about Ukraine here. Have you lost your mind? The comment you replied to talks about Middle East shipping routes.

There's a war in the shipping lanes?

Yes, Iran sits next to one of the most important shipping lanes in the world.

Yes, you have lost your mind. Or you're an LLM.

The US is hardly supporting Ukraine any longer.

Why is there so much dense coverage in southern Ontario than anywhere else in North America?

An unusually dense road network?

edit: This page has some data: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Landscape-metrics-for-ro...

Southern Ontario has 4x the road density of the province average, so might be a contributing factor?


"The darker colours are points that were updated closer to 2007 and the brighter colours closer to December of last year." It's possible that this area was just more recently updated and is not necessarily more densely covered compared to other areas.

That whole part of Ontario is basically farms with long straight concession roads so I imagine you could cover a lot of area quite quickly just driving in a straight line for a couple hours, turning driving 2 km then turning and driving straight for a couple hours on repeat.

A used 1000hp car is a lot more fun than even a new cell phone.

The US government has already chosen the higher prices via anti-competitive measures route, specifically to keep affordable Chinese and even Japanese cars out of the market.

How is it fraud for a company to change focus and start producing other kinds of products? It's not fraud in the same way that promising that the car would be able to drive itself from Los Angeles to New York in 2017 and selling people "Full Self Driving Hardware" is.

Anyone remember this gem from the "dot com" crash? http://fuckedcompany.com/


lol :) I love the name ! may be the name is worth a thousand haha


If the layoff is small enough, it's not triggered.


The real problem is people who don't want to be victims of crime, not the people doing the crime?


Now you're getting it. You have exactly identified the problem.

Instead of identifying and addressing the real problems--mass unemployment, homelessness, hopelessness--your dystopic "solution" is simply more and bigger jails, more and better armed cops with surveillance cameras attached, more laws, more weapons, more bondage and discipline, more "you will do what I say or else."

Doesn't work. Never works.

Read the essay "Fate of Empires" by Sir John Glubb to see how things this time are not in fact any different than what came before.
