Haven’t tasted olive oil from Turkey, but Greek oil is very good, stronger than most Italian or Spanish. But it’s very expensive, and it’s suffering more from droughts and fires.

Portuguese is the same as southern Spain, mostly Picual variety. However it’s not really much cheaper despite what the article claims, unless you go for shit quality.

IMHO go for the cheapest in your area that is extravirgin certified and the variety you like.

I kind of agree with your points, but I think there has to be a distinction of libs. Most deps should be static IMHO. But something like OpenSSL I can understand if you go with dynamic linking, especially if it’s a security critical program.

But for “string parsing library #124” or random “gui lib #35”… Yeah, go with static.

I have yet to find a memory hungry program thats its caused by its dependencies instead of its data. And frankly the disk space of all libraries is minuscule compared to graphical assets.

You know what’s going to really bother the issue? If the program doesn’t work because of a dependency. And this happens often across all OSes, searching for these are dime a dozen in forums. “Package managers should just fix all the issues”. Until they don’t, wrong versions get uploaded, issues compiling them, environment problems, etc etc.

So to me, the idea of efficiency for dynamic linking doesn’t really cut it. A bloated program is more efficient that a program that doesn’t work.

This is not to say that dynamic linking shouldn’t be used. For programs doing any kind of elevation or administration, it’s almost always better from a security perspective. But for general user programs? Static all the way.

I mean, in europe they are more expensive, 4070RTX was about 700€ (770$). Different currencies and different taxes. And greed.

nVidia GPUs:

970GTX was 329$ in 2014

1070GTX was 379$ in 2016

2070RTX was 499$ in 2018

3070RTX was 499$ in 2020

4070RTX is 599$ in 2023

Probably, the 5070 in 2025-6 will be 650-700.
