Windows' file system is bad at handling lots of tiny files, which emacs relies upon heavily. In earlier Windows versions you could tweak the registry setting NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation for a performance boost (at the price of backwards compatibility), I do not know if this is still relevant in Win11.

My experience after using space for about 6 months and doom for 2 years:

spacemacs
- slow
- uses many obsolete packages
- updates often break shit
+ documentation all in one place
+ very nice setup for clojure and lisp
+ more complete keybinding setup
+ has emulation modes in other editors like vscode

doom
- documentation very fragmented and full of annoying stubs
- custom.el doesn't work right

Is C still wortlh learning nowadays?

I'm studying CS but my uni's program only teaches you Python, Java and C++ so i figured I'd try to start learning C on my own over the winter break.

I already have a decent grasp on Python and Java and have always heard all the real enlightened big brain neProidians learn C to understand how a computer works beter since it's "close to the metal" unlike Python and Java but even starting out with Learn C the Hard Way, Zed Shaw says that C is a fundamentally flawed language and has many errors that later languages fixed into non-issues.

If you don't wanna learn to code, fine by me, but you shouldn't try to discourage others from learning to code. People learn plenty of "useless" stuff, like Akkadan and topology just for fun or as time-wasting pursuits. There can be plenty of reasons for learning something that requires some mental effort besides making money, and learning something simply for the sake of exercising your cognitive powers is more than a good reason in and of itself.

out of all the technologies that have become incredibly homogenized over the years, why are graphics cards still so all over the place?
you can immediately tell what a 16GB RAM stick does compared to a 4GB one. But whenever you go into the system requirements of any game ever, the GPU is always something like

>>
>>107706461
I don't really agree, at least for gaming purposes.
RAM sticks have long model numbers and details like CL latencies too, but you can boil it down to "16GB stick".
For GPUs, I usually just look at the minimum and recommended Nvidia cards. That immediately tells me what ballpark we're in, even if I'm using and AMD or Intel GPU.
e.g. if a game needs a 2070 and you're even slightly familiar with computer hardware, you'll have a rough idea of how your card compares to a 2070. Just like everyone knows roughly how much $100 is regardless of their local currency.
>>
>>107707187
As someone who hasn't kept up with graphics cards within the last 10 years since i don't game, I disagree with your disagreement. I still know exactly what 16 vs 32GB RAM means when I see it. I've known the difference since 4GB was the latest and greatest. I have no fucking clue about any of this 5070, 2090 whatever shit is because I'm not constantly exposed to it like you are.

It's true that high bit rate 1080p is plenty for video. I have a 4K 32" monitor and 1080p BR rips look great. Good 4K video is better obviously but I'll take good 1080p over bitstarved 4K.
>all movies are 1080p on blu ray
This isn't really true. 4K Blu-Rays have been around for nearly 10 years now.
>why should not i buy 27 inch 1080p
Because at typical monitor viewing distances and assuming typical eyesight, you'll see chunky pixels and text will look like shit.
If you're using it as a small budget TV from a further distance then whatever.

Forrest Gump is not a good movie and I don´t think there´s anybody that understands that better than me. I´ve seen it over a hundred times because my parents would force me to watch it.

The whole movie is a self congratulary boomer stroke job. It had pop culture references every 10 seconds during the life times of boomers so they could say haha I remember that.

of course the protagonist is a literal retard that becomes a multi millionaire that boomers strongly identify with

if you´re not a boomer and think this is one of the best movies ever made maybe you should learn to think for yourself instead of having your opinions fed to you by boomers

The real win for VR(in it's current form) is in simulation and remote control not traditional vidya or shitty social media.
Zuck and co completley missed because of two reasons, they're chasing retail consumer tech which it doesn't fit with AND coming at it from the wrong direction, it's not about people moving more into immersive digital worlds it's about tech moving more into the real world that actualy solves a problem.
VR will always be a niche non-normie tech until robots become more integrated into society then they'll be using it mostly for work not leisure.

um yeah I think its safe to assume the more advanced VR headset that runs your games locally is gonna cost atleast AS MUCH as version 1
>>
>>107707411
The index had lots of custom hardware like the base stations and had good build quality
The Frame is much more cost optimized, the displays and lenses cost less to make then back then, the controllers are simpler. The additional cost comes from the CPU, RAM and UFS chip which wouldn't cost a lot if there was no bullshit market manipulation by openai
>>
>>107707669
you would be right, if there was a competitor example that costs $700-800 (other than the quest pro for $1000).
But ignoring the quest, the pimax crystal light is wired, has no battery, no OS, no passthrough, or eye tracking, similar resolution and display (but with aspheric lenses, no pancake), and it costs $860 with controllers (but the controllers are known to be worse than steam VR's tracking, and you could buy just the headset for $600 and spend a fortune on a SteamVR adapter + controllers + base stations).
I think you are underestimating how much money meta makes from kids who trick their parents to buy a $300 VR headset, for the headset to have a $10 monthly subscription so after 1 year it becomes a $440 headset.

They have already solved this by simply changing out the electrolytes. They just need to scale it up and get it into the current battery makers manufacturing process.

Electrolyte change will massively reduce fires with lithium batteries. No major design changes are necessary either. Just change the electrolyte and you can keep on using Lithium.

Read the article, it's not that long:
https://www.cnn.com/science/new-battery-design-could-prevent-fires-spc

Though I want solid state batteries to come along as fast as possible, this solution is much cheaper and may catch on until they can reduce solid state manufacturing costs.

Anyhow this electrolyte change is a game changer for now....
