You can use pyramid fragments and alien technology, I'm not touching playstation/sony products with a borrowed dick.

Because you can't have elitism in the group that knows so little about fixing something that one of their actual plans of action is to reboot and pray

Users are dumb and lazy

Funny, that has actually been my entire experience with corporate IT. This field attracts the type of firemen that won't climb down the pole because it's a safety hazard. Y'all are... something special.

Cut off the motherfucker's nose, let's all recognize potsmeller when he's walking down the street.

Argh, the fucking police being powertripping cunts really gets me going.

Hey, fingers crossed the dude's weapon goes off somewhere in their ammo storage area, taking out as many of these chucklefucks as possible.

Probably seeing what amount of pain each asshole driver can suffer before they die. Hope you're at least a 9, OP!

Right. Call them youtubers! Wait...

Yes, like most normal people do.

There's a lot of discussion when you're a software dev about the best way to do things, and a lot more is spent on this debate than on actually writing code. One could wonder if there is so much discussion because there are so many good ideas that it's difficult to choose the one that is optimal for the situation.

But then you read one of these posts on lemmy and you are reminded that someone with internet access and thumbs could spare the short time they have to take a shit to egregiously misunderstand a simple fucking slogan, smugly post about their shit take on the internet, and then return to their job where they will then spend hours misunderstanding the simplest of fucking concepts, slowing down everyone else along with them.

I mean, it just sounds like the people from your Tools/Infrastructure/IT/Devops/whatever-it's-called-for-you department are fucking incompetent and can't properly configure a Single Sign-On. Took mine a few years as well, I think the ticket was stuck in the queue behind the "restart some servers when nobody's watching to see how long until they find the issue" tickets, which they seemed to be working on weekly.

Also, I can't think of any reason why SSO can't work with Mozilla or Chrome also, not just with Edge.

It's not you who decides if something is hate speech or not, and it's not the postal worker either. And something being moral doesn't make it lawful.

Oddly? This is not odd at all.

It's been a while sincce I wrote code, but I'll try to remember. Basically disk size and ram size have no connection. Disk size is for already generated assets (maybe you need to remember how the planes look like, so you create assets for all the planes. Or you want to have textures for the scenery, or for the Lincoln monument, or whatever).

But then you need to load those resources into RAM to access them faster, because if you try to load them directly from disk, it's a lot slower. So some part of those 64GB of RAM is because you are loading some premade assets.

But aside from this, there's also dynamically generated data that you have no way of knowing about at the beginning of the program, so you can't prepare in advance and generate assets for it. Like say for example the player wants to begin flying the plane - he's gonna have some different inputs than any other player. Maybe he drives slower at the beginning, or goes a little to the right when he takes off. Or his destination will be completely different. You now need to remember his velocity, his position on the map, the direction of his flight, his altitude, his plane's weight and who knows what else, I'm not a pilot. All of this, you allocate memory dynamically, based on user changes, and this uses the RAM as well.

Not to mention - you can make a 1kb program that takes 64 GB of RAM. You just ask the operating system for that much memory. You don't even need to fully use it. It'll take you one line of code.

All this to say - nothing odd about the program being smaller than the RAM requirements. It can mean it's not optimized, but it can also mean it has a lot of dynamic calculations that it's doing and a lot of stuff it needs to remember (and in the case of a flight Sim this wouldn't surprise me).
