- tutfbhuf 5y agoIn addition to that I find it confusing that the term kernel is often implicitly defined as kernel := linux kernel, although there are many other kernels where `git bisect run` is useful.
- jstx1 5y agoIt might be a personal thing but I find the word kernel confusing both in the OS context and in linear algebra, statistics, ML. I find it very nondescriptive in each of those cases. It's almost like "kernel" doesn't invoke anything in my brain and I have to pause and think about it every time.
