That's part of their pitch, it won't crunch compute or be blazing fast but it will be efficient for what it puts out. It's 70W/16GB for $350. A770 would be a bit cheaper but 200W I think, 9060 XT is $350 when it's at MSRP for 170W TDP.
You're buying size/convenience with this. The biggest crutch is the x8 lanes but it's not that huge a nerf.

I guess if you already have said old office machine and want to put a 1050-tier card in there, fine. The scenario I had in mind was the people who buy an old optiplex SFF with the intent of upgrading it.
The card in the OP doesn't seem to be very appealing in either scenario. It's way too expensive for a super-budget optiplex setup but also really weak compared to what you can get for a few more litres and an extra hundred watts.

> Elixir + Rust.

What are some use cases for this? And also how do you interop between the two?
>>
>>106525618
Elixir runs on the BEAM (Erlang's virtual machine). by using Elixir over Erlang, you get access to macros, Elixir's ecosystem (Phoenix web framework, Ecto database interactivity, Stream/Enum modules), and the ability to trivially use any Erlang-native functionality (Digraph for directed graphs, ETS for an in-memory database, wxWidgets wrapping for native UI deployments, etc.).
the BEAM has characteristics no other VM has:
- processes (can be thought of as green threads/coroutines) do not share memory. this means they can be separately garbage collected (no pausing the world) and their individual heaps are cache efficient due to their contiguous nature. also, if any process crashes, it cannot leave memory used by another process in a bad state.
- the OTP framework offers abstractions for the grouping together of processes according to common patterns (such as supervision trees, which supervise processes and restart them or whatever upon failure). you can link the failing of a process to cause the failing of another process. you can put these processes onto other machines, and the BEAM will automatically handle communication amongst them over the network.
- each process has its runtime closely watched, and can be interrupted at any moment for another process to take its place. this means that even with many thousands of processes, none of them will be greedy with compute time. this point is extremely important to grasp btw, and it's why other languages that try to compete with the BEAM will never be able to do so.

C++ is the only language that matters. Keep seething jeets.

>>106526089
cont...

- in general, Elixir/Erlang combined offer a data structure for pretty much every problem you might run into, allowing for extremely concise algorithmic work when working with complicated problem domains. the immutable data structures make testing/writing code insanely comfortable. the requirement of explicit state transitions leads to very readable code. tail-call optimized recursion is so fucking nice when compared to traditional looping techniques while not losing out on any performance.
- because processes cannot share memory and per-process heaps are contiguous in memory, one can tinker with the BEAM by limiting the memory consumption of individual processes. one can use watchdogs to restrict reduction counts of processes. you can bound the space and time consumption of individual processes, leading to a form of sandboxing built into the BEAM.
- Elixir has macros, just like Lisp does. these are really fucking nice. an example use case: I signal errors and embed the module/function pair that signaled the error. this is all handled transparently by a short macro I wrote. if I log the error, it is very easy for me to see exactly where the error was triggered. I can match on the error and handle it at runtime too.
- Elixir has a REPL. being able to run code right from a shell is super nice. I use Elixir for back-of-the-hand calculations on a daily basis. I can run Ecto queries right from Elixir. because Ecto is composeable, this results in easier interaction with a database than raw SQL. debugging things is so much easier with a REPL. Elixir also has built-in documentation that you can look at right from the REPL, no browser needed. because all data is immutable, it is impossible to make a mistake that poisons your data at the REPL, which would require you to recreate the state prior to you fucking up in another language (such as Python or Common Lisp).
>>
>>106526099
cont...

anyway, as for Rust: you can use the Rustler crate in order to write NIFs that the BEAM calls directly, or (my preferred approach) is to just have a separate Rust OS process that you communicate with via message passing. almost all tasks that Rust is useful for are long-running number crunching tasks, hence this message passing process is not really a concern.
also, Rust is great for compiling to webasm for running in a browser or whatever. for example, do password hashing by exposing Argon2 to the client using the RustCrypto project. this offloads costly computation from the server to the client (of course, you must be very fucking careful, and definitely not a cryptographic noob)

Krita and GIMP don't have much overlap in their userbases, as far as I know. Both are excellent. Krita's workflow is a little closer to Photoshop.
Also, fuck you, GIMP rocks.
Medibang Paint is another good one, but it has ads unless you buy the Pro version.. It is my go-to on Android, along with Snapseed. I really like Medibang Paint's warp tool, it is pretty great, but GIMP's is something else... to the point that I need more practice with it, lel, as I'm too used to Medibang Paint's. I haven't figured out how to accomplish warping like how Medibang and GIMP do it as far as Krita. That's one of the tools I use the most, so I tend not to use Krita often, and when I do, it is mostly for redrawing or modifications that don't require warping, other wise I'd use one of the other apps.. I'm more about modifying stuff, so I lean towards other apps rather than Krita, but any of these three are , for me at least, adequate for drawing and redrawing stuff. GIMP and Krita both work well with my vintage Wacom tablet when I want to draw more, but any drawing I do tends to be related to modifying stuff rather than drawing from scratch like most folks that draw do..
>>
>>106525976
I use GIMP but not for drawing. It's not meant fro drawing. It's literally the first sentence in this documentation. I use it for editing photos, not actual drawing.
https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-using-rectangular.html

I hate ads so no thanks. I might just try Krita or find a crack for PaintTool Sai.

>>106526037
I think that's just GIMP's devs trying to cover their own asses.
GIMP is adaptable to pen pressure and stroke hardness, size, rate, etc. as Krita and other drawing software. It has rulers and guides and other stuff that are very helpful for drawing. GIMP's devs probably got told off at some point or something. I don't see how GIMP is supposed to be bad, or there are tools it is missing towards that that I'm not aware of and the devs are just covering their asses to avoid too much negative feedback?

There is minor advantage that Krita has over GIMP in this, in my opinion: second-click opens up the brush menu and most of its options while second-click in GIMP just opens up a general menu with more options, but not geared towards brush settings. I think that is a poor design choice on the part of GIMP's devs, but not any kind of deal-breaker for me, I consider it pretty minor.

Linus, Brodie and all other onions redditors are completely in the wrong, as usual.
When you have high IQ talented people, like Elon Musk, Drew Devault, or, indeed, Kent Overstreet, who want to move fast, you LET them develop at their own pace. You don't cripple them just to appease low performers

That is the problem with the Linux kernel, everything moves at the speed of the weakest (slowest) chain, and Linus is too dumb to understand that those slowest chains are the problem, not the excellent programmers like Kent Overstreet who are just leagues ahead in terms of IQ.
Linus not understanding this is why Linux is still subpar to proprietary on many fronts, despite massive funding and corporate involvement.

BTW, Kent Overstreet is the author of BCacheFS, currently the most advanced filesystem for GNU/Linux.

only thing to add is that you and kent need to understand that rules are rules.

linux is developed since decades and kent is only a small part of a massive system of independent individuals and corporations.
the needs of the many over the needs of the few and rules are a way to enforce this.

bcachefs seems to be well made.
btrfs is a good enough system for single drive use, snapshots are great.

we need MORE. i really hope this conflict resolves into a nothingburger and they can keep on working on it together.

>After almost five decades on air, the future of satellite TV remains uncertain beyond 2029 with broadcasters reluctant to commit to the platform for longer.

A decision needs to be made within the next two years if satellite TV services from Sky and/or Freesat will continue. That’s because the current fleet of satellites are reaching their end of life dates and any replacement satellite needs to be commissioned at least three years in advance.

I once spent many hours trying to find out the simplest thing: which Windows version was installed on a Surface laptop from the factory.

The only way to do it was by downloading a special recovery image from Microsoft and following a stupid process that again took hours.

no, this is true about updates. it's not true about reinstalls.

On second thought... I call bullshit on that.
