I’d like to see someone get these working: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_airship

I actually closed my eyes and took a moment to prepare myself after reading the first sentence because I knew I was about to read the most brain-dead take imaginable.

The Epic store shopping cart died for this.

The Steam update has been available in the beta client for over a month. This wasn’t a response, they had already done it.

…do your internal organs get itchy?

Fun fact: Nothing that ICE enforces carries a death penalty, nor are any violent offenses part of their mandate. So why do they need guns at all?

Obviously I’m asking this sardonically, since we know the real answer. Just felt like pointing it out.

The win from CRAM is that it is not swap, and operates using mostly normal RAM semantics. If it works as advertised you should be able to allocate most (all?!) of your RAM as CRAM.

It’s a little better than your read. The ~400x speedup is in comparison to using ZRAM, which, in very brief terms, compresses memory by creating an in-memory compressed block device and assigning that as your swap space. So your “swap” is actually a compressed chunk of RAM, not on disk.

This was significantly slower than normal memory access because page faulting when looking up something in memory then fetching from swap was, itself, expensive. Regardless of how fast that swap was. When your swap is on a storage device that overhead is comparatively tiny, but when it’s just another chunk of memory suddenly it’s what you’re spending most of your time on.

Completely insane that there are comments here assigning any degree of blame to her for this situation. The fact that it was 2 in the morning isn’t an invitation to rape or be otherwise assaulted.

Hell, I don’t care if someone were nude and fixing a sign that advertised their services as a prostitute. Still not “asking for it”.
