2 things:

1. It’s more the determinacy, a GC randomly fires up and your systems stops for some long amount of time. There are pauseless GCs but that’s a different nightmare.

2. The kernel has things similar to GCs. They’re used for more specialized tasks, and some (like rcu) are absolute nightmares that have take decades to get working.

Trump’s coin dropped already.

Same.

I used the pine book pro for a bit, it was completely viable as a wifi terminal.

But the pinephone is still just more of a cute toy

Tl;Dr you’re declaring war on Lebanon.

Then just admit it, this bs dance is childish.

You’re either at war with them or the Lebanese are innocent bystanders where you have to minimize collateral damage, can’t have it both ways.

that can’t be employed at scale as readily

Well there’s your problem right there:

You’re concerned we can’t scale up arbitrary killings? Would you prefer something on a larger, more industrial scale, perhaps with large, gas-fueled ovens?

Killing should be hard, and it should be personal, not vaguely waving a hand in a general direction. You should know their name and hopefully have filled out a few forms beforehand.

If you want to kill somebody, when you aren’t at war with their entire country, then BE SPECIFIC.

Drone strikes that take out a known Al-Queda leader: ✅

Drone strike that takes out a random Afghan wedding: ❌

Ok, on the one hand, yes, blowing up Hamas is funny.

OTOH, this is not cool, bombing random people is a problem.

The US has this wonderful system called the Hellfire R-9X which is basically a flying slap-chop that ginzus a single target with 9 pop-out blades. Can we hand a couple over to the IDF and Mossad so they stop randomly blowing up parts of Lebanon?

It’s not killing Hamas that’s the issue, it’s the collateral.

Exponential funeral growth.

Qxl does, it’s fairly modern.

Otherwise you have virtio and virglrenderer, which are as modern as it gets this side of pcie pass through or intel’s sriov.

Vga is fixed iirc, the original frame buffer was tiny, the emulated one gives you 16mv

Cirrus logic gives you 16mb too iirc, then you can use other drivers that give you more,

Russian cultural paranoia.

They cannot consider themselves safe unless they have a ‘perimeter’ around Russia.

The thing is: that needed perimeter is always growing, eventually your country becomes part of it, ask Poland and later east Germany, Afghanistan, and eventually, your country.

Their country, their responsibility.

The Germans learned that lesson the hard way.

It did, let me explain:

On the original (ie Thompson and Ritchie at Bell in 1969-71), I think it was a PDP-11, they installed to a 512kb hard disk.

As their “stuff” grew they needed to sprawl the OS to another drive, so they mounted it under /usr and threw OS components that didn’t fit.

I’ve done the same, outgrew so you mount under a tree to keep going, it just never became a historical artifact.

It meant user, as in user-installed programs and libraries for this system over the core system programs and libraries of the operating system in /bin and /lib.

Someone learned it wrong, but otherwise I think the image is right.

Uhh, maybe 2 decades ago, they sold all those weapons on Wish.com, where do you think all those super-yachts came from?

This is beyond the pale.

But not surprising. Not for Russians.

It’s a great language, and I even like their deployment/packaging system.

But oh my god it assumes everything follows its rules, and does NOT play well with others.

We need a rust-based distribution, there can be only one.
