>>107643601at least in terms of price
honestly speaking i prefer the bsd/mac os way of not depending on the ABI like Linux because of GPL, it seems to produce better/stabler user space, i think from the point of view of the user is much better (and one of the reasons why Linus criticises glibc)but then you have to pay the costs of a non-free software space tooif glibc, ui libs, etc in linux paid more attention for not breaking things, it'd be better than mac desu

https://www.thurrott.com/dev/330980/microsoft-to-replace-all-c-c-code-with-rust-by-2030>Our North Star is ‘1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code.’ To accomplish this previously unimaginable task, we’ve built a powerful code processing infrastructure. Our algorithmic infrastructure creates a scalable graph over source code at scale. Our AI processing infrastructure then enables us to apply AI agents, guided by algorithms, to make code modifications at scale. The core of this infrastructure is already operating at scale on problems such as code understanding.”LOL
>>107640674Finally, they're saying the quiet part out loud: the purpose of Rust, which is unusable for human software development, is to try to at least avoid rampant memory errors in the AI slop they're going to use as replacement for their jeets. I've been saying this for years: Rust is unusable by design. It's not for human use. It's for corpo-generated AI slop.
>>107643404most of my peers often forwarded me concurrent issues to solve because i was apparently "good" with it, but im fully aware of what you're sayingtooling is much better nowadays, but you need to know what you are doing, especially in setting up good abstractions for your peers that do not know as much
>>107643437>most of my peers often forwarded me concurrent issues to solve because i was apparently "good" with itI know your pain, anon.I know your pain all too well."Oh this code isn't performing so well, let's ask NNN he probably knows how to fix it.""Oh this code seems to have a memory leak, but I can't understand the dump files, so I'll ask NNN. He probably knows.""This code is causing deadlocks and thread starvation but fuck me if I know what's going on. I'm asking NNN ..."etc. etc.The curse of being too good at your job.
>>107643783and its not like they can’t do it themselves, it’s more like they don’t want to put in the efforti mean no wonder people want to ai everything nowadaysfunnily enough: i had a problem with linking a while ago, couldn’t solve it (mostly also didn’t care to solve) and all another guy could do to “help” me was to ask github copilot, that either hallucinated or suggested the things i tried hours before
So- for the lulz of it, I did some quick math.MS's proposed target is 1 engineer, 1mil Loc, 1 month.Assuming an average of 22 work days in a month, and a 40hr work week meaning 8hrs per day, that means an effective 176hrs per month of work time.Assuming the AI can rewrite all the code with minimal effort in prompting and the claims that Microsoft makes wrt their "algorithms and infrastructure" actually being valid (spoiler: hell no it won't be, but just for the sake of it let's look at the IDEAL scenario - right?) and there is near-zero work in anything but actually reviewing and testing the output of this ... thing,that means you need to consistently - non-stop - review and have tests passing on 5600~5700 lines of code per hour. Again: non-stop. No coffee breaks. No bathroom breaks. No daily status meetings. No chit-chat. No nothing. 5600~5700 lines read and reviewed per hour. NON-FUCKING-STOP.The average book has 40-60 lines per page, so let's use 50. That means you have to REVIEW (which assumes a level of understanding far deeper than just 'read') over 110 pages per hour.I'm just going to pause here for a bit.So everyone can spend the next ... oh... half hour or so? I suppose? exhausting the immense cannonry of laughter they've been holding in.Suffice to say: whatever dimwit at Microsoft came up with this deserves a high five.Comment too long.

>>107643054Yes, the kernel should push desktop shit to swap while your games are running.
>>107642950>>107643054yeah especially whith low ram you should have at least some sort of swap otherwise your system will just crash.If you want to use Hibernate (suspend to disk) you need some form of swap. File is easier / more flexible because resizing is like 2 seconds but you need to provide a block offset for initramfs when using a swap file.
>>107643023To be a performance gain you need lightweight compression like lz4 or Zstd at low levels. Basically the goal is to keep the CPU fed 100% all of the time even though your I/O utilisation is high and you're bottlenecked by that drive.If you compress to heavily then you get better space utilisation but worse throughput so it's a trade-off.
>>107642950I use a swap partition because I use suspend.
>>107643473Can't you use a file for that?

cpp has been shit long before this. You need to learn to spot that the pattern isnt woman -> shit. Think about why they would let a woman in in the first place? The power, influence and importance has long left, and with the vacuum, nature rushes to fill the volume. This is the same for politics, and public facing executive positions .
