Colloquial usage and etymology are not the same thing.

One had to do some significant hand tuning of config.sys and autoexec.bat to optimize conventional.memory usage for a lot of games in that era (ie. relocating device drivers to extended memory), at least until later versions of MS Dos included the memmaker utility to partially automate the process.

This was tricky enough that folks would pay my barely adult self a consultant's hourly rate to do this for them.

Thanks! Looking good now. Interesting exploration.

Site is illegible on mobile.

>> and will quite happily "love" one individual of a species while being completely indifferent to the death and suffering of the rest of that species.

Similar to how a significant subset of the human population responds to other humans.

Fruity Loops is written in Delphi. There was a period in time where because of this, the company said there would never be a Mac version, but eventually one happened with the help of ObjectPascal.

>> People don't understand that cigarettes are self-limiting because they literally hurt your throat and lungs. Most people simply can't chain smoke and they need about an hour break in between smokes.

That wildly contradicts the experience of every cigarette smoker I've known across several generations.

Good thing they don't apply the same standards to security sandboxes.

We really need super impeachment.

If someone made a table of one hundred potential targets and rolled ten ten sided dice to pick a row to target, do we blame the decision on the dice, the table, Wizards of the Coast, or the person who decided this was a good way to choose targets?

General issue, have observed it on multiple systems. On a long enough timescale, will grow to farcical amounts of memory usage.

Unfortunately, while this is something I've observed through major point releases and on different platforms, there have always been some plugins in use.

UnUnfortunately not enough commonality in configuration or hours in the day to track down if this would happen on a totally clean install...

I'm sure your roadmap is quite extensive, but it would be great if sublime itself could graph or warn when memory usage increased by some specified percentage, or if any particular plugin spikes resource usage.

How long did you leave your test running?

Was it sustained use with files open over days / weeks?

(I've been a sublime user for well over a decade, across multiple platforms. Thanks for the downvote.)

Flipside, sublime's memory management leaves much to be desired.

If you run said software, yes.

If somebody else runs the software, then they are.

The trick is scale. I suspect if an individual of reasonable means uses agents to commit crime, they will be hels accountable. A heavily capitalized startup? Not unless someone in government decides to do their competition a favor.

Regulatory capture is a strategy. It doesn't hurt existing competitors at scale, but it greatly peanalizes newer underfinanced competition.

Not exactly a billionaire.

Reconciling the profound interiority of the experience with a mere external catalyst can be quite challenging.

Consider the question yourself next time you are in the throes of an exoerience and see how hard it is to maintain objectivity...

That's purely because it's usage is accepted nearly as a default, and drug in common usage is most often a pejorative term if it doesn't refer to a medicinal context.

Most people who use drug as a pejorative term also wouldn't use it to describe caffeine.

Perhaps this is because it's meant as an oversimplification to demonstrate, but the grounding section seems so oversimplified as to be useless to an adult.

Rest of the piece was quite good.

They just don't have the stomache to support anything new for the required gestation period. We aren't going to get anything truely new or useful until companies stop prematurely compreasing their margins so much that they squeeze out the customer as well.

You can't have a relationship with a lawnmower.

>> and the feds having it out for a whole class of people

Are you suggesting this is not happening with the goverment suddenly criminilizing the status of legal immigrants? (this is in addition to enforcing laws against illegal aliens)

That was a reference to a Bryan Cantril speech, and it's more about the lawnmower's ability to gravely harm your person without having any intent or feeling beyond doing what a lawnmower does.

Before that he was just Jumpman rescuing a damsel from a kong that couldn't be called king for intellectual property reasons, and the genesis of a gorilla being involved at all was nintendo's loss of the popeye license.

He didn't become Mario until there was a two player sewer themed game requiring names for the protagonist plumber brothers.

The bit about Journey to the West was the most germaine bit of the article. The Kayman Rider stuff just seemed like wild speculation.

It is fascinating just how much of Japanese pop culture carries deep (and shallow) references to Journey to the West.

In early days we all saw the same ads, uphill, both ways.

Don't fall for his scare tactics on this one. They do not have resources to pull off having ice interfere in elections at scale.

There will be fuckery, and the election will not be fair, but any sort of steal will happen after votes happen.

I imagine having over a dozen political parties helps with this as well.

>> We're still fighting the remnants of the confederacy.

Consicely put, and not nearly present enough in contemporary discourse.
