Well, if that commenter had more than just a vague idea of caching and/or swapping, they would know that the right algorithm can make or break performance.
That paper is not “we invented caching”, but “this is how we make some certain models work well despite constraints imposed by RAM and flash storage.”
It’s a worthy job for an engineer or researcher. Not quite as innovative as the invention of the wheel, but still enough to write a paper on (and read it, if you can manage to understand it).
Given that a watch is just always on your wrist it’s easier to carry when going for a run or into a store, while still allowing you to listen to music and receive calls. It also makes it less disruptive to look at notifications. And the payments work without any further authentication as long as the watch remains on your wrist, without fail (at least in my experience), whereas Apple Pay on the phone will ask for the phone passcode every now and then.
If you ever get these after a contacting customer care, here is how they work:
10/10: ok. No need to reprimand employee
9/10: acceptable every now and then
Anything less than 9/10: talk to employee about their low performance and lacking commitment
This applies to all questions asked, including “how is the weather?” and “did you sleep well tonight?”
So here is how I answer, knowing how it works:
Employee helped me or at least tried to (and was hindered by company bullshit): 10/10, no exception. Yes, I will sacrifice my firstborn on your corporate altar and will build a shrine to your CEO in my bedroom. Of course I will recommend [product] and to anyone and everyone I will ever meet and praise [company] with my dying breath.
Mediocre service: no reply
Truly awful service, employee was a dick: 2-4/10, so it does not look like petty revenge, but is still bad
Add some good (low sugar and low added fats) peanut butter or any other nut butter and/or ground nuts to your oats. Makes for a healthy and calorie rich meal that keeps you sated for a while. It’s easy on the stomach, does not cause the blood sugar to rise quickly and you can eat it spoon by spoon over the whole day, if necessary.
Also don’t forget to drink plenty. I find tea and highly diluted apple juice (like 10%) are ideal when I am sick.
In the distance I saw a police car approaching. Quickly I slipped into the driver's seat of the VW Golf, shattered rear shelf remnants poking at my back. Heart pounding, I grabbed a handful of candies, hoping my impromptu candy feast would throw off suspicion. "Just a guy enjoying a snack," I thought, praying the police wouldn't dig deeper.
Rookie Officer Daniels and I rolled through the quiet streets, and his eyes widened at the sight of a small European car with a shattered rear shelf. "Should we check it out?" he asked nervously. Glancing at the driver indulging in candies, I chuckled, "Nah, just some late-night snackin'. Welcome to the quirks of the job, Daniels." Oblivious to the potential connection to recent car burglaries, we continued our patrol.
Finally alone in the car, I eyed the wallet I had found in the glovebox with a mix of temptation and paranoia. "Easy money, or avoid the risk?" I muttered to myself. The dilemma weighed on me as I calculated the consequences. Taking it could mean a fatter wallet but also a certain police report. I hesitated, torn between greed and the fear of drawing unwanted attention to my nocturnal activities.
Until Plex gets unbearable as well. They have been getting a lot shittier lately.
