Nobody can afford it. Guys an absolute legend

That's just semantics though. That's exactly what I meant. No separation of RAM and storage.

I called it RAM-less, rather than all-RAM, because we already have the concept of virtual RAM on storage. So you could have your files in a file structure and your volatile memory in a virtual RAM file. And you wouldn't necessarily even need to load files or programs into virtual RAM if you were only reading them, you could have a strict file pointer.

So could it be plausible one day to run a RAM-less computer? If persistent memory speed matched DRAM speed, would there still be a benefit to distinguishing RAM from SSD, beyond cost?

I'm very saddened she shows these strong hateful opinions now. The books and films were so much a part of my childhood and I still really enjoy the whole world they've created. And watching her earlier interviews, she seemed like a nice, interesting, smart, softly spoken person, with a love for my city. Also through indirect personal relations, she was quite kind to us.

I find myself staring sometimes, but it's because:

  • Things that move distract my attention.
  • I've spaced out and didn't realise where my eyes were pointing.
  • I'm trying to work out why you look so familiar, unsure if I know you.

I have a basic £30 (£50 post inflation) pop-up frisbee tent and it works just fine on its own in heavy rain. Water only gets in when the door is open. It really just needs to be double layered, taut and have a decent groundsheet, but that can all come built-in without needing to be expensive

When I was a kid and had nightmares often, I would wake up in the middle of the night in a fit of fear. I had to make sure I would stay awake just long enough that I wouldn't go back into the same nightmare again when I went back to sleep. It wasn't just possible, it was common

Yeah although misinformation is recently on the rise, there is that overabundance of information, I still feel like we're in perhaps the easiest era ever for verifying facts.

In the past when I called bullshit on my friend's factoids, there wasn't much I could do unless I went to a library and maybe there'd be a book on it, and I'd have not much choice but to trust that book. I believed so much nonsense people told me before that I can look up and discuss on a global knowledge in my pocket now, albeit requiring skill to do properly though

What are those crazy power sockets with so many pins and two different types right next to each other?!

It was also quite confusing as a Brit. Here a "vacation" is called a "holiday". And here the people are not so religious, Christmas is more often celebrated unreligiously now, saying Merry Christmas is not really an issue. The first time I heard "the holiday season", I presumed that meant summer, because people go away on summer holidays then.

Given:

I would say you cannot exclude the ocean like that.
