To be honest, this question should be directed at the person who made the change/commit:

> cwebster-99 / Courtney Webster / Product Manager at @microsoft working on VS Code and GitHub Copilot!

>> No description provided.


dmitriv recreated in a separate PR and merged that. The linked revert PR by a user was closed.


> when RAM is full and page files can't keep up

reality: kills dwm.exe (not the game that's the culprit and was running in borderless mode)


Windows does not kill system processes like that the way Linux does. It doesn't even have a real OOM killer, it just keeps allocating more and more page file until there's no more page file to allocate, no more pages to compress, no more working sets and other caches to clear, and then finally gives up when you try to allocate RAM. If DWM.exe crashes and you have even a small amount of storage space or RAM, something else is going on.

Given how DWM and video games both hit the GPU pretty hard, the death of DWM.exe can be anything from memory exhaustion to (GPU driver) bugs.


> USB cables should just label themselves with their bandwidth

Article: "MacBook Neo’s two USB-C ports look identical. One is 20× faster."

The anti-UX designers have escaped from the web design containment dimension and started to ruin the physical world. I didn't mind at all the different colors on ports for USB 2.0, 3.0 and the unofficial teal 10 Gbps USB 3.x (whatever revision) etc.


The comments were interesting to look at: how a non-zero amount of people didn't click the link yet went on to write stuff about web's DNT. They are just browsing the headlines. Useful to populate own blocklist of people to ignore. At least we know these aren't bots. Or do we?


Access optimization or interleaving at a lower level than linearly mapping DIMMs and channels. x86 cache lane size is 64 bytes, so it must be a multiple. Probably 64*2^n bytes.


Turn this into linkedin-speak, how you inevitably are promoted to power and a leadership position. This is not a tactic, it is a long-term strategy. #softskills #success


I've had the same question above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47706122

Haha. The wording's equal too!


> about democratic societies

You imply representative democracy, where political parties are forced to be formed not to solve issues, but to win a popular vote. To win the vote, you have to dilute your policy enough to encompass the masses by providing many common denominators. There, consensus is impossible by design, we no longer live in a Greek metropolis, where the dimensionality of problems is low. Todays societies are complex and have many dimensions, yet the representative democracies group all of the similar and dissimilar issues under 2-3-4-5 different parties.

I see exactly two (one) solutions:

- people go beyond party boundaries and cooperate on issues they feel important (doesn't work, it's already possible on paper, but in the best case this ability is traded for negotiational power)

- direct voting on issues, parties only serve a directional and educational role


> Macron tried to do pension reform > they're your countries, but i do not think it's your leaders letting you down.

What fanfic am I reading here? The protests had no impact on the course of the pension reform.


they did not manage to stop the law. what i am saying is that the leaders were trying to pass a necessary law and the population was against it, so you can't pass off blame for the dysfunction on them


I see. Agreed.
