What’s the proper way to measure your dict in bytes?

When you size up a dict, do you care more about how wide it is (number of entries) or how deep it goes (what each one holds)?

And when you need to unload the payload, do you dump it straight into a buffer, stream it somewhere else, or flush it to disk?

What are some Paintdotnet-like graphics manipulation programs?
I really liked Paintdotnet and the last year and a half I've been really missing it and none of the alternatives I've tried really do it for me.
>GIMP
>seems powerful but doing anything is asinine and feels like even the simplest things require me to do 10x more inputs and every once in a while it just won't let me do something and even after I read the documentation I might still not know why
>Pinta
>Really cool and almost what I want but not only does it lacks certain features or does them imo worse than paintdotnet it's also LAGGY as all hell. I'm on a middle-low end device and it runs slow whenever I zoom in or expand canvas above a certain threshold. For comparison paintdotnet runs like a dream on my 2010 low end laptop even when I'm working on something like 10k x 10k canvas with multiple layers.
>Krita
>Clearly made for drawing rather than image manipulation. Had some success but the situation is somewhat similar to GIMP.
>VMing Windows
>Runs awful.
>Distroshelf
>Have yet to try doing that with Windows and paintdotnet but I get a feeling it will shit the bed all the same.

I've been thinking about procuring a ThinkVision portable display to go with it. I just don't fully have a use-case for it. So I hold off. I prefer to save versus being overly consumerist. I don't know. I guess it's a right tech for the job approach.

I cannot speak to that point. Although, my use of ten key on the shinobi is little. However, I would totally support Tex and procure any modular mechanical ten key unit, in the same ThinkPad style or aesthetic. I've seen a Targus and a Belkin stand-alone ten key, but it would have to match the shinobi. I might be a little consumerist if Tex released something like that.

If you want a tablet and also want to draw, should you get an iPad or a Samsung tablet?

I have a tab s9 and while i would still choose it over the ipad (purely from a specs perspective), if you have unlimited budget an ipad pro is better. also ipados has way more and better drawing apps. android has krita at least so it has the most powerful of drawing apps, but the UI hasnt been optimised for android yet.

Yes, and those meanings are more often than not, not static.

I get it to help me with stuff and to search for me quickly but sometimes it just makes things up. One time I was comparing graphics cards and it decided out of the blue that the Rx 9060 xt was a fictional card from a TV show so I couldn't buy it and would be better off getting an rtx 5060. Stuff like that really makes me take everything it says with a pinch of salt.

In 15 years the future will be us living in dense studio rooms constantly entertained by ai generated content in a headset that can fullfill your every wish. You can be cool kid in high school, a hero in a japanese anime isekai or a ww2 spy in nazi germany. If ur considering killing yourself wait at least a decade until virtual reality plus brain computer interfaces and generative AI converge into best thing humanity made. You will have heaven on earth


most of us are ugly loser incels who probably missed out on our youth. Never felt kiss of a girl or a friend that actually cares. But in a decade plus you can have friends who love you, girl who is infatuated and all ur desires granted.Im just crying realizing that heaven is only a decade away and anons don't understand this.

I probably should have worded that as "why does it need to allocate memory that is writable and readable". I'm not claiming to really understand any of this as I'm a nocoder retard. Is allocating memory that's readable & writable as bad as selinux claims?
>>
>>107830457
you need to ask selinux people for that
but my personal guess is, if you have access to memory then your program can do its thing, because without memory programs can't do anything no? so that's why it's being limited
>>
>>107830392
execheap isn't about readable and writable memory, but about writable and executable memory. it should only be one of them. It opens up possibilities for (malicious) code injection. That's why the JIT is having trouble. It's generating code during runtime.

That kind of proves my point. There are millions of autistis out there in the world looking at the linux kernel and other OSS. If selinux actually had a backdoor like jia tan, i cant imagine that it would have remained hidden all of this time.
