Things go very south in windows if you ever use really much swap. Had this with a CAM process using a lot of swap.
You barely move the barrier until the backing pagefile cannot grow anymore (which with a fast but small nvm can be reached within a few seconds). After that you get stuff like a taskmanager without fonts, as there is no memory for loading it anymore...
So obviously bad advice, but the reason is that to declare bankruptcy you have to convince a judge to do it. You might have trouble with that using this terrible plan.
I was offering debt advice to a young person recently in the UK.
They had gone to a UK debt management company that seeks to compound your debt by asking your creditors to accept an Individual Voluntary Agreement where you agree to pay back a certain amount per month for a fixed period and then get it written off. In practice it affects your credit rating like bankruptcy. They were advised by that company to do exactly what the person above said, max their credit cards first. Cash advance if possible.
Well, if you are not a code based developer, eg. you are used to program industrial control systems, they are often developed the same way, as with certified/proofed tools, you can guarantee that the code has no uncaught error paths or simple syntax errors.
It also has a lot appeal to people who do not develop on a daily basis, eg. I'm pretty confident I could teach my dad to use nodered vs writing python in a day.
I myself just use it (after years of being on the second side) because I noticed, that it was somehow way faster to get stuff working and keep it maintained
Almost every consumer 3D printer out there runs on top of Arduino. Sure that’s a small market compared to all electronics. But it’s still a big market in absolute terms.
This was true three years ago. Plenty of 3D printers are now using ARM. The Monoprice MP Mini Delta has been out about two years now with a price of $175 US. Marlin 2.0 has support for ARM, I think it would be accurate to say "Almost every consumer 3D printer out there runs on top of Marlin", although there are a few alternatives like Smoothie.
Also funny, my result of this is that I now order basically everything directly via aliexpress. If all i get is chinese crap anyway, I can at least get it cheaper.
Then I noticed that aliexpress actually made some pretty good page design choices. Since you can see how long a seller is registered and how many they have sold (both directly on the product information site), it is pretty easy to find a at lest decent trader there
> I now order basically everything directly via aliexpress
I would argue that in some ways, AliExpress is better than Amazon. Vendors seem really responsive, even for tiny purchases, and they are eager to avoid negative reviews.
Especially on JVM, conditional breakpoints are really nice for this. (And at least most classic Java-Webservers are really compatible with this approach)
As someone recycling old laptop cells that are decades old (even got a few sony fukushima ones in last batch). Having a absolute large amount of them can cancel this out. Sure one fresh cell might have the small top current than 10 parallel old ones due to resistance, but if space is no concern the older ones are really great economically.
Well I beg to differ, using a unlimited swap file can quickly reach hard issues after 64gb of swap use.
At that point mallocs in the windows ui fail (timouts or something?), that apparently are not meant to, eg fonts from shutdown menu missing, the system being unable to shutdown ect.
