Disagree. The frustration caused to individuals looking for an answer far outweighs the utterly inconsequential reduction in Reddit's "value" by removing the comment. Burning your Reddit history is performative nonsense that only causes problems for frustrated individuals.

Unknown. It's roughly 100-year old slang and the origin is uncertain.

I have a friend who is a woman who *insisted* that it's a *majority* of men who do things like grope women on dance floors or exhibit other such sex pest behaviors. I pushed back on this because I quite strongly believe that not to be the case, and pointed out that encountering such men *a majority of the time* when going out doesn't require a majority of men to behave that way. An incidence rate of, say, one in twenty still virtually guarantees you'll run into multiple if you're in a crowd of sufficient size. I'm also not trying to downplay the seriousness of it being a very real problem. Nor do I deny her lived experience of encountering that behavior often when going to concerts or whatever. Literally just pointing out that such an experience doesn't require a majority. She got offended, calling me out for not believing her and accused me of making a "not all men" argument to try to invalidate what she was saying, despite explicitly agreeing that it's a problem that needs addressing.

Yes, but in an active conversation it's possible, even sometimes *likely*, that a message the other person is typing will add context that has relevance for what you were about to say.

Isn't Cyberpunk DRM free? Why do you need a repack? If the bit that didn't work was the repack's self-extractor/installer I guess that would make a little more sense.

I can get really annoyed when writers get stuff like that wrong. I was reading a science fiction novel and just about every time a gun was fired in a vacuum the author included some detail about how the weapons were “vacuum sealed” or some such thing, so that they would fire without oxygen. …except guns work just fine in a vacuum already. All modern firearm propellants (and many historical ones) are self-oxidizing and don’t rely on atmospheric oxygen to burn. It snapped me right out of the book every time I came across it.

The win from CRAM is that it is not swap, and operates using mostly normal RAM semantics. If it works as advertised you should be able to allocate most (all?!) of your RAM as CRAM.

It’s a little better than your read. The ~400x speedup is in comparison to using ZRAM, which, in very brief terms, compresses memory by creating an in-memory compressed block device and assigning that as your swap space. So your “swap” is actually a compressed chunk of RAM, not on disk. This was significantly slower than normal memory access because page faulting when looking up something in memory then fetching from swap was, itself, expensive. Regardless of how fast that swap was. When your swap is on a storage device that overhead is comparatively tiny, but when it’s just another chunk of memory suddenly it’s what you’re spending most of your time on.
