That's a different definition of wasted though. The RAM isn't lost just because it isn't being currently utilised. It's sitting there waiting for me to open a intensive task.

What I am objecting to is programs using more RAM than they need simply because it's currently available. Aka chromium.

A small shop? What's an incredible concept. Who would have thunk it?

America truly is the land of innovation.

Iran considers UK military bases to be valid targets anyway.

The problem is I've seen people who supposedly have a brain start to use a high and over time they become increasingly confident in the AI's abilities. Then they stop bothering to review the code.

It ain't slop if it's built right.

Yeah but the problem is, is it? The absolutely insist that we use AI at work which is not only insane concept in and of itself but the problem is that if I have to nanny it to make sure it doesn't make a mistake then how is it a useful product?

He says it helps him get work done he wouldn't otherwise do, but how's that possible? how is it possible that he is giving every line of code the same scrutiny he would if he wrote it himself, if he himself admits that he would never have got around to writing that code had the AI not done it? The math ain't matching on this one.

That's why they all think that everyone's secretly a Nazi only they are too afraid to admit it, which is why they are constantly surprised by all of the public backlash whenever they do their nazi things.

Of course that's daft, the real Nazis have never been afraid to tell everyone who they are. Even when no one was asking.

I suspect that what he actually believed was that other people dying (preferably kids who don't vote) so he can have a gun it's a small price to pay.

What the right all have in common is an absolute inability to emphasise with anybody else, until it happens to them.

I mean I have access to a computer with a terabyte of RAM I'm gonna go ahead and say that most applications aren't going to need that much and if they use that much I'm gonna be cross.

I don't know why electron has to use so much memory up though. It seems to use however much RAM is currently available when it boots, the more RAM system has the more electron seems to think it needs.

It takes forever to boot I know that and that's from fast food which is extra pathetic.

It's just that I don't think that knowing a bunch of historical facts that most people never retain, if they're taught them at all, is really what's necessary for someone to integrate into British culture.

Think of any nation and you can immediately name national traits, Peru has a very different cultural backdrop than Germany for example. Knowledge of that is what the citizenship test should be checking for. Not whether or not I can remember a bunch of dates from the attached guide otherwise it's much more about sending the accompanying book as it is about actually helping people integrate

Because I don't think anyone in the Northern Ireland assembly could answer that question. I couldn't tell you how many constituencies there are in England, only that there's a lot. Some things aren't worth knowing.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
