And someone will have to insert malware into GitHub releases from inside the system to make opensource people leave.

And even that wouldn’t be enough for some of them, given SourceForge’s continued existence.

How is Solus these days? It was my daily driver a few years ago and I loved how simple and performant it was, but I moved away from it after the second time project leadership crashed out and had to be replaced.

Then one should be very concerned about their political views.

Add enough JavaScript frameworks and I’m sure the metal gets very hot indeed.

Skill. Then you can reply to any database problems your coworkers bring up with “sounds like a skill issue to me”.

Brendan Eich isn’t going to like this.

Also Eli Whitney inventing the cotton gin to make extracting cotton less of a tedious and backbreaking process, which lead to a massive expansion in slavery plantations in the American South due to the increased output and profitability of the crop.

I think it’s equivalent to void, not a boolean.

Hmm, I could go for a Full Stack of pancakes. Though it could lead to a bloated front end…

The closest they’ve come so far is prioritizing industrial customers and compute modules for a while during a chip shortage, to my memory. Hopefully they stick to their roots in the hobbyist/educational sector.

Wait, Jai as in Jonathan Blow’s long-promised programming language? Did he finally release something after all these years? I assumed that would remain vaporware for eternity.

Unless their goal is to catch common mistakes to improve their code analysis and quick fixes, in which case this plan is secretly brilliant.

I was having terrible performance problems in Windows a while back, and it turned out it had marked every drive as removable and the write cache was filling up due to an extremely slow external HDD, causing even the internal SSDs to grind to a halt until the buffer was flushed whenever a large amounts of writes were made to the HDD. Which, since the external drive was used for backups and large Steam games, was almost every other day.

If this happens often, you can disable write caching for that drive. It’ll feel slightly slower (since it’s actually operating at the speed of the hardware instead of caching operations in RAM and gradually writing them to disk in the background), but you’ll be able to remove the drive almost instantly.

This is my new favorite meme using that format. It’s perfect.

Each kernel instance can run on dedicated CPU cores while sharing the underlying hardware resources.

This sounds like a recipe for spending decades tracking down bugs and obscure race conditions. The kernel is simply too massive, and with too many vendor-specific workarounds, for them to feasibly catch and ensure compliance for every call to raw hardware.
