This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.
Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:
- Posts will be random; there are absolutely no themes here.
- Posts may be overwhelmingly frequent (sorry about your sub feed).
- Posts may be unbearably infrequent; you may forget you subscribed here.
- Posts may be oh, so very boring to you.
Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.
So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.
Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?
Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! [email protected]

I mean, they’re not totally wrong if you’re just talking about overhead opening a “simple” app- however this falls apart when you’re talking about actually using the hardware- video encoding/decoding, file reading/writing, multitasking, real time event handling, random IO, etc etc etc. it’s also much less obvious in linux and macOS which boot apps extremely fast.
Modern software also does a lot more, at higher resolution, with more flexibility, etc…
Maybe notepad takes 5 seconds to load on some windows laptop vs 1 second on an 80s machine- but I also don’t just use a computer for notepad. The volume of data I crunch a day, while running docker containers and services and transcoding and compiling and rendering and transferring tons of IO is staggering even compared to 5 years ago.
well put
