  • I'm not sure if 16GB over 12 currently has a lot of effect. I currently have 16 and my VRAM almost never goes above 8-10 or so. Depends heavily on the game of course, but I think 16 is only really useful in the future.

  • That is for you to decide.

    The way you decide is to go to a reputable review website like https://www.techpowerup.com/review/?category=Graphics+Cards&manufacturer=&pp=25&order=date and select one of the reviews of a relatively recent, unrelated card, for example the XFX Radeon RX 7900 XTX.

    For this specific site, you then go to the "Average FPS" (or "relative performance") page and look for your models you actually want to compare to in the list. Since you picked a relatively recent review, you can also see newer cards, so you can also see how much of an upgrade you'd get with newer cards you maybe haven't considered yet.

    In this case, the average fps of the 5700XT is 49.2, while the 6700XT gets 60, an improvement of ~22%. Now, you either know what 49 and 60 fps look like, or you go into one of your older games and use an fps limiter to limit to those fps values and play a bit and compare.

    In any case, the final decision is up to you and no one can really tell you what you think your money is worth.

    Edit: of course, this assumes your CPU is not a bottleneck. These tests always go with the most powerful CPU. You haven't said anything about yours, so I assumed it wouldn't be a bottleneck.

  • Of course, I didn't make some kind of point about the general use of GUIs and CLIs, I just said that GUIs are much faster if you can't remember commands, which is the problem in this thread.

  • True of course. If you look at my comment though, I haven't said that speed is the point of the command line. Just that Linux users are obsessed with it. For most users most of the time, the repetition/automation is not the point and ability to write scripts is not the most important thing. And you can combine tools with GUIs as well, it's just slower. Same with reliability, GUIs don't have to be and usually aren't unreliable, so command line only has the automation and speed going for it.

    you only need to remember few letters of the command

    I believe that is exactly the problem in this thread. The command history only works if you remember in the first place.

  • If I'm very smart, I could just use my intelligence to make money and then get beauty surgery.

  • Use GUIs for all the things.

    Linux users are obsessed with the command line because it's faster if you can type fast and remember everything. If you can't, GUIs are actually much much faster because you are visually guided towards what you're looking for and have to spend little time looking for the correct commands and syntax and everything.

  • True, but that isn't really very unique to the US

  • I would immediately get rid of the warning for unstableness in both projects. They are simply unnecessarily self-deprecating and "stay away" markers. When would you remove them?... I don't know your projects, but it's incredibly unlikely that they are worse in those regards than basically any other software project. It's always the user's fault if they use some unestablished thing in production, you're not responsible for that and have to help them learn that.

    Being experimental can be expressed through a 0.x.x versioning scheme. Having bugs is expressed by the issue tracker, and in any case not unique at all. Incomplete features is something anyone will see if they decide to try it.

    The chat thing seems like one of a million chat things, why is this chat solution better than any other already existing one? Needs to be clearly expressed as the first thing. tool like this suffers from adaption usefulness, it's only useful if people use it, why would you use it if no one uses it.

    The other thing looks very niche, so also not surprising that it's not used that much.

    I don't know, I wouldn't worry about it that much. Kind of confused anyway why you'd "look for" contributers. Seems kinda like you want to simply get a following for ego reasons or something.

  • Ah I see!

    So you're essentially saying that instead of asking women to smile, I should also ask them to get their tits out for me to gawp at!

    Thank you :)

  • Exactly, in other words, you get people involved by making your tools good and advertising them to increase usage.

    Write good documentation, make it user-friendly, create beautiful landing pages for the repository (i.e. readme), create a marketing/project website, be responsive in discussion forums, etc etc

  • To be serious, the sentiment behind Brexit is the exact kind of sentiment you see in US people/politics as well: right-wing propaganda, xenophobia, resistance against any kind of authority, nationalism.

    UK is literally the parent of the US. Puritan culture flows through both. A national superiority complex (which you seem to be a slight victim to). Surveillance capitalism. Deregulation.

    Yes, the issues in the UK aren't as severe as in the US, they are more aligned with EU/socialist values, but that's why I said it's the "light" version of the US, didn't say they are the same. But out of all European countries, the UK is definitely the most similar to the US by a large margin.

    Edit: also, Brexit is basically the same as the thoughts of some Republican states like Texas seceding from the US.

  • For me, I came to terms with this by learning more about human nature and behavior and realizing that, in essence, we're incredibly flawed beings with only a minimum of accidental rationality. That it's absolutely not natural for us to "make sense" in a logical way, that truth doesn't matter to us, that we are all incredibly selfish.

    And that working against this nature to a "better" (in quotation marks on purpose, who really knows what's better) state of mind and behavior requires massive amounts of dedication, conviction and constant effort, which most people simply don't understand or can't be bothered to do.

    That humans/I have a natural desire within them/me to band together for survival purposes. This includes loyalty to family and feeling bad about being estranged to them.

    That our emotions are just motivators making us do things that were/are useful for survival.

    That we also have a great capacity for adaptation, which also helped us to survive.

    And finally, to put it all together, that I can use my skills of adaptation to change my feelings about things after understanding them and deeming them not beneficial to me. So in other words, I use mindfulness techniques, my natural propensity for rationalizations, training/practice through repetition, my selfishness, etc, etc, to change my behavior/thoughts/feelings to a state I'd like to be in.

    This is imo only possible with serious study of all these interactions and years of reprogramming yourself, which you have to decide how worth it is for you. In my opinion, it's ultimately worth it for everyone, because I went from a state of deep unhappiness to a state of deep happiness/content, which is a massive quality of life improvement.

    However, I also realize that because of all of this, I myself could just be talking bullshit and be just as or even more flawed than anyone else, so you can probably safely disregard any advice I give or things I say :D

    Edit: oh yeah, and to give a superficial answer: fuck family/people, stupid people are not worth having around and making your life worse just because of some arbitrary tradition/feeling of loyalty/peer pressure. My dad is nowhere as bad as yours and I still don't really care about interacting with him, and I like it that way.

  • post-brexit

    True, doesn't sound to me like anything the US would do xD

  • The main reason US can and could ever delude itself into being great is for having a ridiculous people-to-land/resources ratio. There is nothing inherently great about how the US does things, it just seems that way because you can do whatever you want if you have essentially infinite resources compared to everyone else.

  • The UK is just the "light" version of the US

  • Don't forget to update us please in case you figure something out :)

  • I'm subscribed, when the video came out something along those lines was the title. They likely changed it because it performed better with viewers.

  • Imo it's very unlikely that we grew to like music that already existed rather than growing to like audio patterns and then noticing we can make music.

  • This is the best usage of this phrase I've ever seen
