What does a decentralized Bloomberg terminal look like?

> There is not (to the best of my knowledge) a government operated CDN or network backbone which you could make use of in order to avoid such concerns.

The line between private and public gets a bit blurry when talking about edge routing and CDNs. Especially edge routing.

There’s a big difference between that and viewbotting, though.

> There was -- and is -- a failure of public policy here.

It’s very strange that he didn’t criticize elected officials one bit. Instead, he blames some faceless cabal of venture capitalists for being out of touch. Who is trying to divide us here?

Sorry dang, was in an altered state of mind. Will do so going forward.

I agree with you. LSD trips gave my life new meaning.

The only psychotherapy we need is from plant medicines. DMT and psilocybin are natural plant teachers that can help us through the traumas we go through in our life.

Or maybe Linus isn’t afraid to say what’s on his mind, and that’s why people respect him.

You should try it some time. I know when I started doing it on here, my karma plummeted (real world analogue is “reputation” or social standing). But at least my conscience is clear.

Ok, then why I do only run into this issue on hardware running OS X? This is across machines (I worked at Apple btw, and had to dogfood Mavericks at the time) and across time. Same problem, it was never fixed.

I run Chrome and Slack on Windows and I never have had memory issues. Using Occam’s Razor, it has to be an issue with memory management at the OS level. I’ve also run Chrome and Slack on Linux - 1/10th of the memory footprint. I will write a blogpost in the future about it.

> I know I am and I hope I get one of these newer ones next week. 6 cores and 32 gigs of DDR4 make a lot of a difference.

Even if they provide 64 GB, it will never be enough RAM. OSX is dogshit at memory management, with massive memory leaks. On my work laptop (-1 generation), I have 16 GB. Normal workloads (i.e. not even developer workloads/compilation tasks) consume memory to the point where I’m constantly swapping. Until they fix their shit, I’m not going to buy a new one, nor will I ask my company (I am good friends with IT) to refresh.

Now imagine living among those types of people every day. That’s SV in a nutshell. Wrongthink isn’t tolerated.

Agreed. Basically, it is akin to having a second fulltime job. Except you don’t get paid anything.
