Generative “AI” data centers are gobbling up trillions of dollars in capital, not to mention heating up the planet like a microwave. As a result there’s a capacity crunch on memory production, shooting the prices for RAM sky high, over 100 percent in the last few months alone. Multiple stores are tired of adjusting the prices day to day, and won’t even display them. You find out how much it costs at checkout.

    The only thing I got from your text is that text editors load an entire file into memory, which has been the case for decades unless you go with a special purpose editor.

    Holy crap, and these people think they have right to talk about computers.

    You can have a 12G text file, logs, suppose, you are going to load the entire file into memory? And you think it’s normal?

    You might want to proof read that.

    I think you might want to put more effort into reading. This seems to be your weak side.

        So in how many languages do you write, and in which of them do you write better than I sometimes do in English? Other than your first one.

          So you bring out “this is my second language” after telling someone else “you might want to put more effort into reading”. No, that does not fly. You put “sorry, English is my second language” first. Lashing out like that is not a good look.

      Holy crap, and these people think they have right to talk about computers.

      By your own logic, considering how you wrote your first comment, you should not have the right to talk at all

      just read it again lmao

      You can have a 12G text file, logs, suppose, you are going to load the entire file into memory?

      That’s actually done via journalctl today, most of the time. Which extracts the logs out from a database instead of a text file. It has some useful features, such as slicing a specific time interval from the logs.

      Are you regularly opening up 12 gig log files in a text editor? Personally I’d use something like elasticsearch or less/grep for a local file.

        It’s convenient to keep positions of many things, have marks, make comparisons. Ideally have multiple windows looking at the same file.
