GissaMittJobb , to linuxmemes in I like C programs for their speed

There are a few reasons for this, some of the most important being:

  • The languages were not designed with speed primarily in mind and as such made some design decisions that fundamentally cannot be optimized around
  • Authors of programs in these languages prioritize things other than performance when writing the programs.

Speed is not just about processors becoming faster - this is a large part of why DSA is important to learn as a programmer.

It's not out of the question to have 'memory leaks' - apps accumulating more memory by keeping around references to more and more objects - but memory leaks in the stricter sense of not deallocating objects that you no longer have references to is less likely. Regardless, the OOM killer will come for your app, no matter how good you've been about managing your memory, as long as someone else wants to have the memory and you're the one who has been active the least recently.

It's definitely not out of the question that a reboot helps, but an app-level memory leak is highly unlikely to be the culprit.

Apps leaking memory in Android are just going to get automatically get killed by the OOM killer, I don't think a restart is going to address that particular concern.

GissaMittJobb , to Privacy in Privacy on Cars. How to stop data collection and transmission?

32% coal vs 39% renewables, with natural gas making up the majority of the remainder - https://www.eia.gov/state/?sid=CO#tabs-4

GissaMittJobb , to Privacy in Privacy on Cars. How to stop data collection and transmission?

What a terrible take.

First off, unironically yes on account of higher efficiency in electric engines over combustion engines.

Second, what grids still run on 100% coal? And why would they keep doing that long-term, given that coal is just shit on its own merits?

GissaMittJobb , to Technology in VPN by Google One shuts down

Product launches are the vehicle for attaining promotions at Google, allegedly. Maintenance does not get similarly rewarded, nor does launching projects and having them live on to actually be successful.

When the launcher got promoted and moved on, they have to figure out whether to keep the thing around, and the answer is generally going to be no since few things can really compete with the infinite money glitch that is search ads.

GissaMittJobb , to Technology in Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined

The cost of storage in this case is more or less irrelevant - traffic is what matters here. You're also not getting any mentionable bulk discount on the servers for that matter.

The key is that you can engineer things in completely different way when you have trivial amounts of traffic hitting your systems - you can do things that will not scale in any way, shape or form.

Their scale was also an insignificant fraction of what Netflix has, making the point even more irrelevant.

The best figure I could find on Jetflicks user count was 37k, where as Netflix has 269 million users.

GissaMittJobb , to Memes in me whenever hbomberguy uploads a new video

At that point, you're basically just listening to podcasts. Leaning into it might be a good choice, since there's no visual element that gets lost when listening to podcasts, as compared to YouTube videos.

GissaMittJobb , to Technology in Scientists propose converting natural gas into hydrogen directly in gas fields

I don't see any good reason why the merits of hydrogen for vehicle fuel would be any better than production and disposal of batteries. The other cases I agree that hydrogen will have a useful niche.

GissaMittJobb , to Technology in Scientists propose converting natural gas into hydrogen directly in gas fields

It's hard to assess the validity of those claims as the article doesn't bring any numbers and the paper itself is paywalled. As the fossil fuel industry is pushing hard towards wedging in hydrogen as a means of keeping themselves alive for a while longer, it's vital to be able to assess the actual claims, lest they are just planted there by the fossil fuel industry.

GissaMittJobb , to Technology in Scientists propose converting natural gas into hydrogen directly in gas fields

There are some use-cases where hydrogen will be useful, but I don't think storage is one of them. Nor do I think vehicles are a particularly good use-case either, as compared to just iterating on battery technology.

and is a good way to store excess energy from solar and wind.

Is it really that good of a storage method, though? The round-trip efficiency is quite bad when compared to other methods of storage.

GissaMittJobb , to Fuck Cars in Leading UK cyclist out of Tour of Britain after being struck at ‘high speed’ by 4x4

Attempted homicide with a vehicle should probably carry a prison sentence along with a permanent loss of the privilege of driving said vehicles.
