OK, now my version is: as far as VMWare preserves it's memory as buffer/cache, when another application needs some memory to use, it just robs greedy Workstation 12. Because it just cached 13 gigabytes. Idk why does it need so much for achives unpacking at all.

yeah, i don't think there are many linux users in russia as well

If we're going to judge according this group, I would say there are a good bunch of Linux users from Mother Russia.

4100 people took part in that contest I am 3rd in.

Gonna look at Darktable.

@Darktable

@Darktable

I already installed and using it. :3

@Darktable

Interesting. I didn't know about this group.

Wow! Congrats!

in my college (in roosha) you won't find one pc with licensed software

Same in many countries in LATAM if not all of them.

and they use borland

Borland? Does it exist at all? I've learned C and Python, and I know my previous generations learnt PHP and something I can recall, maybe Pascal, and the next one after mine were going to learn C, Python and Java.

C++ is Hard

But it's good to learn a complex language first, like C or C++, makes it easier to learn other languages afterwards.

yeah,i agree with you

BTW, I like your profile pic @ouyangjun1999 I don't know what is but looks amusing.

ouyang Jun is my name

There is no real freedom

It's the other way round. Development of science and technology gives freedom. But governments don't evolve accordingly, so they keep trying to control people and communications. Sooner or later, this will fall. Internet is essentially decentralised, anarchic, because its main goal when it was created was to have a way to communicate that would keep working even if some nodes are taken down.

1999 is my date of birth

Nice to meet you, Sir or Miss, I don't know. But a pleasure whatsoever.

Idk, Borland Pascal is OK as entry level programming.

???boy

Ah, okay, I'm a girl. Just in case of confusion. ?

1999 is my date of birth

So you're 18, right?

yeah

In my first university Borland was considered outdated. It was mentioned only as a historical thing.

I hope so

What's the difference what to learn Pascal at though?

Borland is just inconvinient especially for newbies

I started with Turbo Pascal 7.0 and still have very warm feelings about it.

I have no idea. That was my previous generation (in the sense of students flocks, not that it happened 25 years ago). When I joined the technical courses, they were already teaching C and Python.

I have no feelings at all for languages. Some are good for my purposes and some not.

I actually meant IDE, not language. :)

Coding language is not the most important

nice to meet you

I hope so

It's funny that it was the US Army that invented this, and insisted upon of the feature (distributed nodes comunicating each other independently, unlike phones that are centralised). And the phone companies thought there was no material profit for them and did their best to block the project.

Same. I prefer some over others, but I hold no feelings for them.

Also, in my first university we didn't use any particular IDE or system. They taught us the languages and we would figure out the rest.

When I learned first steps in programming, I didn't have an internet connection, so no ability to get any IDE other than one that was installed at machines in school.

Oh, I see

Well, we had these small netbooks from OLPC, coming with Ubuntu and XP, but you could install anything you'd like on it. I installed Fedora.

I had a simple Athlon XP PC back when.

The tor project was originally American Army

lol

The tor project was originally American Army

American Navy, iirc.

And Internet was Department of Defence funded one.

OLPC Magalhaes 2, with 250GB of HDD, 1GB RAM and Atom Intel Dual Core.

It was called differrntly back then.

OLPC Magalhaes 2, with 250GB of HDD, 1GB RAM and Atom Intel Dual Core.

Well, already better than what I had. :)

Athlon XP 1800+ @ 1.5GHz, single core from 2001. 768MB RAM, 120GB HDD and ATi Radeon 9800Pro. :)

Yes, I guess. And a huge difference for me, that I was using Pentiums 2 & 3 with some 200/300 MBs RAM. Figure out.

It saw Win 2k, XP, Vista, Red Hat Linux, Mandriva, Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux.

The OLPC Project had a massive impact in Uruguay. I kept using that netbook until I lost in Krakow. But I know many kids that started with those machines and now they're working professionally for international companies like Google.

Back to VMWare: why is it behavior so different when swap is connected? It doesn't use a bit of it, but somehow it now marks used space as "used", not as "buffered".

Weird behavior.

Dunno. VM stuff sounds like Ancient Greek to me.

I wish it was a thing here.

You can contact the project leaders and see if there's anything that it can be done in Russia. Maybe in a local way rather than major scale?

Except nobody would fund it from here.

It's funny, Uruguay has same HDI as Russia.

You don't know. Try talking to them first. There are also other similar projects that might be applicable there.

HDI? What is that?

gud afternun!

Chili and Argentina has it higher.

HDI? What is that?

Human Development Index.

gud afternun!

Good evening, Marc. :)

Is it a day off for you today? :)

Human Development Index.

Ah. Thanks.

Chili and Argentina has it higher.

Really? Chile obviously, but... Argentine...

Btw, happy Labour Day everybody. :) Or Interneational Workers' Day.

ERROR: S client not available

Thanks!

To me is rather... Happy fucking boring day where everything is closed even more than yesterday.

In Switzerland, whether may 1st is off or not, depends on canton, of course.

(actually everything is done on a cantons base, we 26 cantons, some of them are half-cantons, and thus we 26 different laws, polices, school terms etc.).

and, for the fun of it, four official languages.

all that packed into a tiny country in the middle of the mountains ;)

C++ is Hard

Yes, but C/C++ teach u how the machine thinks, besides many big projects use them for the very heavy operations in the server

How can i run some script on laptop lid open?

sending myself a message & a screenshot

all that packed into a tiny country in the middle of the mountains ;)

The living proof that completely people can live together without shooting a bullet.

What is a half canton?

Hi @llllllllllllllllllll ! Welcome to the group

Half cantons are small cantons like Basel-Stadt that have only half the votes.

Actually we swiss shoot a lot of bullets, but not at each other, but to targets on shooting ranges, quite a difference.
