Well said, Fabio.
Also
“I spent 90% of my money on women and drink. The rest I wasted” (or some variation which suits you).

Things that last and always give you joy. A nice pair of leather shoes, a fine watch, a good dog, professional cutlery, etc. If it lasts a decade or more, it's worth buying the best that you can afford.

Burn everything you have and build a new life in a new place with your money.
The reason can be found in a story of The Psychology of optimal experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
"The Shuswap region was and is considered by the Indian people to be a rich place: rich in salmon and game, rich in below-ground food resources such as tubers and roots—a plentiful land.
In this region, the people would live in permanent village sites and exploit the environs for needed resources.
They had elaborate technologies for very effectively using the resources of the environment, and perceived their lives as being good and rich.
Yet, the elders said, at times the world became too predictable and the challenge began to go out of life.
Without challenge, life had no meaning.
So the elders, in their wisdom, would decide that the entire village should move, those moves occurring every 25 to 30 years.
The entire population would move to a different part of the Shuswap land and there, they found challenge.
There were new streams to figure out, new game trails to learn, new areas where the balsamroot would be plentiful.
Now life would regain its meaning and be worth living. Everyone would feel rejuvenated and healthy. Incidentally, it also allowed exploited resources in one area to recover after years of harvesting."
If you wonder about what to do of your money, I guess you are starting to feel like those indians.

You sure you don't mean 4.3 GiB?

An abbreviation that requires two letters is tolerable, one that (like kibi) require 4 is ridiculous.
And no, like many new fangled things, I refuse to adopt them and let them live in my house.

I guess that means we've both made it to the old men's club, because I agree. Such a nice place.

I can see the small part, but how insignificant? Did the interstellar medium made anything like you did?

Were you the one asking about drones for inspecting power lines? I found another site... See here[^]
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

I wonder if the situation for viewing crazy huge images on Windows has improved in the last decade.
About 10 years ago I downloaded a 400 megapixel mosaic from the HST team. At the time I discovered that 99% of Windows image viewers used the naïve approach of trying to allocate a single buffer big enough to decompress the entire thing all at once and then crashed with an OOM error (when the slammed into the 2gb limit for 32bit processes). The only exceptions I found were Adobe (reported by a few people who tried it to actually have reasonable performance working with the monster) and some freeware GIS viewer someone here recommended (worked but awful usability). Gimp for Linux32 worked; but the Windows version faceplanted like every other normal image viewer I tried.
At 1.5 gigapixels; that image is probably going to take 6GB to decompress. (More if the viewer creates a few pre-zoomed versions to make zooming in/out less painful.)
In the interest of abusing my toys I'll have to try it when I get home. Hopefully a box with 18GB of ram will save me from having to go to swap.

Maybe I'm old school, and I know the reasoning behind the these fancy prefixes for measuring data, BUT is anyone else still using KB to mean a binary kilobyte and kB to mean a decimal kilobyte like we had back in the day before KiB came along with its fancy newfangled Kibi prefix?

As all the byte-thing is computer connected (for me at least), also KB...so K in that connection is 1024 and never used no kB or KiB (even heard of them)...
