My guess is the big video ram is high resolution textures, complex geometry, and a long draw distance. I honestly don't know much about video games though.
The smaller install is totally the map streaming stuff. I'm unsure quite why it has to be so big, but again, I don't know video games. I do recall you having to tell it where you want to start from and it'll download some stuff there.
Try your local library.
I think it was the EPA's National Compute Center. I'm guessing based on location though.
When I was in highschool we toured the local EPA office. They had the most data I've ever seen accessible in person. Im going to guess how much.
It was a dome with a robot arm that spun around and grabbed tapes. It was 2000 so I'm guessing 100gb per tape. But my memory on the shape of the tapes isn't good.
Looks like tapes were four inches tall. Let's found up to six inches for housing and easier math. The dome was taller than me. Let's go with 14 shelves.
Let's guess a six foot shelf diameter. So, like 20 feet circumference. Tapes were maybe .8 inches a pop. With space between for robot fingers and stuff, let's guess 240 tapes per shelf.
That comes out to about 300 terabytes. Oh. That isn't that much these days. I mean, it's a lot. But these days you could easily get that in spinning disks. No robot arm seek time. But with modern hardware it'd be 60 petabytes.
I'm not sure how you'd transfer it these days. A truck, presumably. But you'd probably want to transfer a copy rather than disassemble it. That sounds slow too.
Not looking at the man page, but I expect you can limit it if you want and the parser for the parameter knows about these names. If it were me it'd be one parser for byte size values and it'd work for chunk size and limit and sync interval and whatever else dd does.
Also probably limited by the size of the number tracking. I think dd reports the number of bytes copied at the end even in unlimited mode.
I was curious. Looks like Florida has about the same population as Sri Lanka. Similar to Romania for the EU folks. While I could find them both on a map I couldn't tell you anything going on their. Much less news from a year ago.
Maybe its fair to bump the populations some because Desantis was a Republican presidential hopeful. But I couldn't tell you the names of the folks who lost the last Tory leadership election.
So, yeah, comment checks out.
I think all those are a little true. But I'm mostly guessing. I'm happy to change my mind if anyone knows better.
Either way, these folks are my hero.
Windows -> RedHat -> Windows -> Gentoo -> Ubuntu -> RHEL -> Ubuntu -> Debian -> Arch
Amazing
I think blind itself drives some interesting bias. The public posts are pretty incel. You need a critical mass of folks at your company to have a company private board so it attracts folks from bigger companies. It doesn't seem to represent average folks well. Unless I have no idea what average is.
I'm not sure what to do with that instinct. The overall results say a thing I wanted to hear. It all feels weird.
