They’re probably the ones trump is deporting at the moment, the irony. I’ve been using signal with family to accommodate the stubborn android users, and it’s been fairly close to parity with Apple messages in terms of features and use. Good compromise IMO.

I love it. And there are so many kinds! I keep a bunch on hand for different things: red wine, white, rice wine, apple cider, balsamic, malt, etc… they all taste quite different.

Voyager for iOS is a pretty great client!

“Major motion picture” is a term thrown out there for big studio productions as opposed to made for tv or home movies.

You’re not wrong- but when the change happened, it seemed to be around the time HDD manufacturers started taking flak for selling high capacity drives that didn’t match formatted capacity by larger and larger margins. OS level files sizes were always 2^n - it was a real PitA when Apple switched to base 10 for gui size reporting. I believe terminal utilities still measure file size in 1024 bytes.

Yeah but that’s a BS measure they created decades later. We never used MiB in the 80s and 90s.

To clarify, it was always powers of 2 in the old days.

Wait til you hear how big the raw footage from a major picture is.

He sounds like a real asshole

Is this a fucking joke

It’s a cache cluster. If you have an expensive query on your database or an api response that’s expensive to generate, you cache it in memory and then for some period of time whenever someone needs it, you return the cached version instead of doing the expensive work. Redis can do a whole lot more than that- data types, documents, etc etc but it’s a web scale caching layer.

Could we not fuck up everyone’s morning by show this motherfucker’s dumb face?

El Capitan can accomplish in one second what would require roughly one million of the fastest smartphones working simultaneously to do, according to Livermore.

… in how much time? It does in one second what a million smartphones do in a day? Minute? Hour?

This is either missing a unit of time or it’s a convoluted way of saying it’s as powerful as a million smartphones.

Why the fuck is anyone still using Twitter

Yeah and the last generation keeps sending money to the prince of Nigeria.

This may be true and if so, bravo for them! But China says shit ALL THE TIME that is totally untrue or has insane caveats. I’ll reserve my thoughts until the results are verified- both claims (power usage, and comparable performance/accuracy).

Yeah- you make good points. I think what I was upset about was that we started with a given (they obviously work in space) and then half the class argued they didn’t for a while.

A better question would have been “how can they work since space has no air in space?” which leads to great q & a I think.

Yeah yeah, I know. I was mostly just kidding. Everything is magic if you’re ignorant and we shouldn’t shit on people for not knowing something and props to them for asking and seeking knowledge and all that.

But it’s really sad that very basic science like radio waves which are introduced in 5th or 6th grade could be some completely misunderstood.

I remember my 6th grade science class having a lively 15 minute discussion about whether or not rockets can work in space since there’s no air…. We’re looking at videos of rockets working in space and then debating whether or not they do. 🙄

There are some stupid questions.

From what I’ve heard, they were basically allowing anything with a pulse to teach in AZ, so who knows, being taught by an occasionally hallucinating wiki engine might be an improvement over the wife of some national guard dude.
