    The entire rest of your post of what follows this statement is textbook Dunning-Kruger behavior. 
     
    Never mind that you basically just cemented my opinion that nobody here should help you out anymore. You don't have an earnest interest in solving the problems you keep asking about. You don't really want to learn anything. You deliberately sabotage any effort you put into it (which already isn't much, by your own admission) and you actively waste time of anyone who sincerely wants to help you.

    Well to be fair, you guys have been rather patiently explaining to him pretty much everything he's been asking for. He's been trained to just use ChatGPT to conjure up a bit of code he doesn't fully understand and then goes and asks experienced programmers about it in a misguided attempt to learn programming in the most inefficient manner possible. So far, the results are exactly what he expects: He posits a question and you give him answers. And his behavior when he gets an answer he didn't expect is to raise objections in ways every walking Dunning-Kruger phenomenon does, by second-guessing everything that you write with a degree of dismissiveness and an air of authority that don't befit someone of his experience level. Because a Dunning-Kruger phenomenon is what he is. I've been observing this charade for a while now, how he thinks he can improve upon standard library functions while at the same time barely being able to get a text editor or an IDE running. To be honest, I'd stop responding to his threads entirely until he's proven he can actually write working code, even if it's horrendously ugly and inefficient.
     
    @Gat Pelsinger, you remind me of another forum member we had a while ago, @Wictorian. If either of the two accounts' locations are correct, you're not the same person, but the uncanny ability to ask advanced questions in the wrong way and for the wrong reasons is eerily similar. So in that spirit, I'll pull out the same harsh advice I dished out to Wictorian:

    Stop trying to put the cart before the horse. Don't muck around with reinventing basic functions and trying to improve on those. Don't waste time with premature optimization if you can't even write a complete program. And for fuck's sake, don't try to write a garbage collector in C if you can't even produce a calculator first. In fact, I'd advise you to quit two things immediately: ChatGPT and C. The former for obvious reasons, you're not gonna learn anything by having an LLM produce code snippets or summarize tutorials for you. The latter because you have a tendency to miss the forest for the trees. Learn Python first. Get comfortable with logically breaking down problems into smaller problems with easy ways to implement the solutions. That way, you don't front load your learning, because this will always lead to a brick wall. If you eventually arrive at a project worth coding in C, you'll be ready to adapt that knowledge and have a much easier time. You don't need to peek behind the curtain to know how the CPU deals with the ones and zeroes. Trust that smarter and/or more experienced people have dealt with that for you and focus on actually learning programming concepts. Once you have the experience and notice something that can be done better, you'll be in a more suitable position to actually improve on the basic tools everybody else is using.
     
    Another bit of advice: If you don't know how to do something, you will need to be able to efficiently look up information. The mark of a good programmer isn't to know everything about everything all the time. It's the ability to break down problems and if you have areas where knowledge is spotty or lacking, you need to be able to find information autonomously to fill those gaps. This is not done by asking ChatGPT or forums, nota bene. Read the documentation. If you still can't figure something out, at least show what work you did when asking questions. People aren't your servants who tell you stuff you could figure out yourself with a couple of minutes of Googling yourself. Telling people what you did saves them the trouble of telling you what you already know so they can confidently point you in a direction you might have missed or not known about. That's what saves both you and others time and headaches. You're asking people for help, after all. The least you can do is put in the effort to make it easy for them to help you.
     
    And lastly: You really need to drop the obsession with text editors. No text editor in the world is going to make you a better programmer. Coding in Vim or Emacs isn't going to impress anyone. Write with the tools you find most comfortable. The important part isn't the window where you type text. It's the result that text produces. And from what I've seen across all your threads, you haven't produced much. Focus on that.

    If you are trying to keep the page to using only HTML and build it statically, I would recommend using https://www.11ty.dev/docs/ or a similar builder. It will allow you to inject a component, such as a navbar and footer, into every page.

    Neftex reacted to xg32 in Ideal GPU VRAM Hierarchy (Tier List)   
    putting aside whether the game is a dumpster fire, iirc here's the chart toppers from recent games
     
    RE4/diablo4/hogwarts 4k , 14gb, can easily trigger crashes on 12gb card
    TLOU1 4k 15gb, also can crash on 12gb card
    jedi survivor 1440p 18gb, 4k 22gb reported by reddit
     
    can only ignore so many games, i wouldnt buy anything new with less than 16gb atm, and 20-24 might be preferred soon.
    it's not just allocation, 12gb isn't enough on a new card.
     
    RE4 and jedi usage can be turned down, but diablo 4 can't. It's...weird seeing 90 (6950xt) or 99% (3080ti) vram usage in a long session

    Neftex reacted to YoungBlade in Ideal GPU VRAM Hierarchy (Tier List)   
    Games are generally optimized based around the current consoles. The consoles offer up to 10GB of VRAM on the Xbox Series X and while the PS5 can technically offer all 16GB, in practice, games aren't going to use the whole thing, so 12-14GB seems more realistic. So basically all games will be optimized within that limit.
     
    However, that will be for playing at console settings. And if you're spending more money on just your GPU than you are on an entire game console, you'd probably like to play at higher settings than that, which will almost certainly require more VRAM, but the issue of bloat mostly falls on consoles. The fact that the 7900XTX and 4090 have 24GB of VRAM is irrelevant to most game developers.
     
    Yes, it's just allocation, but that's still worrying. The problem is that we're already seeing situations today where the card wants more than 12GB of VRAM, and the card just launched.
     
    Remember, the 4070 is a $600 card. That used to be top-tier GPU money not that long ago. There's no reason for the 4070 to have to compromise on settings and be limited to 12GB apart from Nvidia's greed and a desire to segment their professional cards. The GPU is plenty powerful enough to take advantage of a 16GB buffer.

    it would be helpful to know what exactly you want to achieve (why do you need to do this) so people can think of different solutions

    I still don't really get it. Why should google pay news sites to have their links come up in the search results? Google is the reason for the majority of their traffic to begin with. Could google not just blacklist news sites so they don't come up? Can someone explain to me why this would make any sense? Sounds to me like the news sites "biting the hand that's feeing them".

    1) this is factually wrong in many cases, read about software licensing.
    2) youre making mountain out of molehill, cdpr simply asked for removal and nexus complied. the reason was understable and nexus was reasonable.
    3) they all know the mod will remain available somewhere, they just both understand removing the mod was ethically good choice

    Okay was the 4 page litany in the original post about the legality and whatnot really necessary? As far as I understand they sent a simple request to Nexus, not an agressive demand and it doesn't sound like anyone at any time threatened anyone else with legal actions. And it doesn't sound like CDPR'S message was intended to cover any legal bases but was simply a short message towards the public explaining why they made such a request of nexus.
