>>147694 Here they have just made the system cleverer Instead of awiting in line for the cheaper state medical care, you can trade in a "doctor ticket" for about 80% of the amount the state would cover your fees, if you used their services and use thati n any private medical faciltiy. Thus cutting the lines way shorter and allowing people to get treated faster, while still benefiting from the system they pay their taxes for.
A lot better than paying yourself sick for quick private or waiting in line untill you are dead Gotta somehow get back the money you pay in taxes afterall.

My D drive's system is basically what city planning looks like when it's not planned from the start Everything's been used for one thing, then expanded, then CHANGED altogether in usage I had a folder for dropbox, but because dropbox was being a cunt I had to rename it or there would be issues, so I renamed it "whatusedtobedropbox", and I no longer even have dropbox so now it's just my images and a few other things, and that image folder has hydrus, which is software, and also there's a folder called Temp that was only supposed to have images temporarily while I use them and then delete them, but it's got its own OLD folder in it where I put everything because I never delete anything
i don't think a few infrequently is too bad, but can we try to tone down on the multiposting a bit it's been a little ubiquitous this week and a little more palpable rei's holding the record right now at like 11 straight posts it's not much of an issue itself other than how much it's occurring. it might just be me, but i feel it's a little clunky to the threads especially if it's consecutive posts within seconds of each other that you coulda just waited and not closed the other one i'm guilty too though

sk
>>147774 I don't think you fully understand how deep this goes This is an HDD that was in a DIFFERENT computer before, so it's got legacy shit from THAT AND THAT COMPUTER HAD SHIT COPIED FROM AN EVEN OLDER COMPUTER FOR ARCHIVING PURPOSES
the archive folder was SUPPOSED to be a folder for you know Documents, save files, that sort of stuff Then it became the default ME folder that everything software isn't handling goes So any file that's mine and doesn't belong to a game or program goes there, including torrents and stuff And then I started putting software in it as well, like hydrus, so now it's just "everything, kinda"
>>147773 i guess i should have added that it becomes troublesome specifcally on time-sensitive things like when they need it by 9am for a quarterly review or something it being time sensitive is what makes it stressful in the first place
Lol as if I have anything that would require that much nuking and as if I know anyone who can restore a HDD after it has been properly emptied that kind of restoring takes quite high end hardware

Also man spotify is poorly optimised nowadays... Just because most people have more powerful computers, doesn't mean you should make the application build the playlist into the RAM memory just do as it did in the past, and make a 10-20gb allocation into temp files for big playlists. >>147921 I Bluescreend this laptop by opening my first 6000 song playlist on spotify it just killed the memory outright
FormerRei@mobile
>>147920 You would think so right. But unfortunately tgat is how software has been developed for tgthe past thirty or so years.
And people actually have MORE hdd space compared to memory so... >>147921 Yeah but point is, in the past spotify built the playlist and song images on your harddrive and spared you the resources as best as tyou could and you could even set how much it used HDD space and so on so if you were low, you set hdd allocation to near 0 and then it built on ram I never was low, so I always allocated somethingl ike 20gibs to it

Cause unless it has over 128gb of RAM, more than one xeon, liquid nitrogen cooling and industry GPUs and a phi card you could buipd it yourself for less.
>>147928 The cooling system is pretty much the only reason to get it you can get all the parts aside from the motherboard, which is quite hard to get as an individual, separately cheaper. But the cooling system is custom built for the store.
FormerRei@mobile
>>147929 Okay, cause without looking at the parts list and assuming it doesnt have the stuff I listed aabove you coukd probably build it yourself for like 10k€, although this is also assuming it doesnt have a bunch of large capacity sssds.

And then you would still need some liquid to get the jet thrust... yeah...
Samurai !KW2DbpWwls
>“A typical jet engine is a gas turbine,” says Jeff Defoe, a postdoctoral associate in the MIT Gas Turbine Laboratory. “At its simplest, it’s composed of a compressor, which has blades like wings that spin very quickly. This draws in air and squishes it, making it a high-pressure gas. Then fuel is injected into the gas and ignited. This makes the gas both high-pressure and high-temperature.”
Samurai !KW2DbpWwls
>This high-pressure, high-temperature flaming flow of gas now goes through a turbine—essentially, another set of blades—that extracts energy from the gas, lowering the pressure and temperature. “The turbine draws the gas through the engine and out the back through a nozzle that markedly increases the velocity at the expense of pressure—the pressure decreases while the velocity increases,” says Defoe. “It’s the force of the expulsion of gas that provides the thrust to move the aircraft forward.”
>>148095 >>148096 basically you could do it without the "fuel" part by just compressing the air but I think that is beyond our tech or beyond any reason to develop it beyond proof of concept, as the basic turbine works.
Samurai !KW2DbpWwls
yeah i don't think the numbers will ever work out until we get anti-gravity woo woo
Yeah the amount of power needed to do it is insane, and the storage capacity too is insane. It would be a good alternative in future, say for landing crafts to planets, since space ships already prlly produce enough power to last forever at that point. No need to carry fuel around but currently just scifi

Samurai !KW2DbpWwls
>>148136 a neural network large enough could not be constructed in this universe
Samurai !KW2DbpWwls
>>148140 not really putting something on the blockchain can be done a few ways AFAIK for one, paying out to an address that is really a bitstring of your data multiple addresses for longer data
i think miners can also leave a message in blocks they mine?
>>148142 oh, so you just dump a fraction of a BTC into wallets that line up to be the full length of whatever file you wanna put up there?
That's a cool idea, and that's the kind of thing where I think I'd likely figure out it could be done if I was big into bitcoin, but also figure nobody uses it for anything
THIS MEANS If you want your art truly immortalized, you put it up there It won't go away cause nobody can remove it and it will always exist in the blockchain that people need
Easy, dedicate a wallet to ONLY output the bits used for that and never anything more In order of appearance, that wallet's output is the file and nothing else

>>148500 I knew a Kate Lynn i thought that was kind of clever i wrote whatever the normal spelling is i can't remember and she's like no it's two names oh okay
Anno
I guess she didn't hate the name, but she definitely didn't share her mother's opinion of its cleverness.
>>148504 That's kind of nice, yeah. My mother has a similar kind of first name to that, though by now it's long-since been dropped to ust -just the first half of it in anything but legal scenarios.
Anno
Currently 4 different Katelynn, Kaitlynn, Caitlynn, and Katies at my workplace right now
I think Catherine has always been my favorite name it was also the name of the first person i ever had a crush on that's probably got something to do with it
Maria
I like olives Charlotte is a good name It also happens to be the name of the first girl I liked
A ton of European countries still have royalty. Doesn't that also include your country?
sk
It does and it's one of a handful of great shames

The Emperor of Japan is also the official head of the Shinto religion. They're called on to perform a lot of the rituals and performances that come with that position. Especially on New Years Day, which involevs -involves a lot of being on your feet and remembering dictations for the holiday procedures. It's a lot of work for an old man to do.
If the statement is that they're antithetical to democracy, then it does matter that they have no power.
sk
Please give me a chunk of your taxes by virtue 9f me being me Shouldn't be a problem as long as I don't have political power right? It's fine

Royalty also does a lot of diplomacy work for the countries they belong to. Like, the English royal family does a lot of the meet-and-greeting and politeness other counties might delegate to actual diplomats.
I'd rather an elected official, who is subject to and therefore serves the people be the person handling everything royalty does
sk
You know The democratic way
sk
Also there's a bit of a hypocrisy in saying it's fine because they have no power but also it's good because they do a ton of work like diplomatic relations
Anno
I'm not the one saying they have no power.
sk
>hypocrisy Contradiction
Anno
They don't have the same power of royalty, but like anyone that works in government, they've got power still.
>>148579 was so not-fine by public opinion for them to have diplomatic position or even be royalty, your country could just stop paying them. Like it's a damn shame you're so hostile to royalty, but it's pretty obvious the majority of people who live in countries that still have royalty are fine with the relationship that exists.
And anyway back to Japan, like I said, their Emperor also officiates as head of their religious faith, so his existence is more crucial to them than the normal royal family.
I don't know how it is in Norway but the UK is definitely better off for having a royal family.
Anno
I wonder how the whole dynamic will change once the Queen finally passes or steps down from the throne. The royal family's image is wholly defined by her and her actions.
Maria
I wonder how much time Elizabeth has left
sk
>they think the British Queen is a mortal
Anno
>>148606 Assuming the lack of information on her health leans on the "nothing to report" side of things, she could probably make it close-to or to a hundred without much struggle. The people who make it past a hundred years of age are generally not much different from how they were a decade or so back though, so it's kind of hard to accurately figure out when their health starts to decline into "close to passing away". But I'd also not be surprised if any health problems she's got going on are kept under tight security.
Maria
>>148612 She feeds on the souls of innocent urchins
Maria
>>148617 they wouldn't tell us about health problems until it's too late Imagine how much money they could get off the funeral though
Samurai !KW2DbpWwls
prepare to hold butts
Anno
But then I can't type that I'm holding my butt. What a dilemma.
Anno
>>148623 According to Wikipedia, the manner of her funeral has already been extensively planned out. I assume this also means they know its costs and probable revenue.
Yeah I can see that. Honestly if I ended up in a job that was putting over forty hours of work on me regularly I'd probably try to negotiate less hours anyway. But minimum wage is less terrible here. Also I'm pretty sure most jobs can't put that many hours on you without having to pay overtime for them, so they would just get someone who doesn't work as many hours to do that part.
