I never called it a strength; I simply don't care how fast Python is because I don't need to. Reasoning about what is going on under the hood with Python is just easier than Julia - if it needs to be fast, it's a fast externa

I disagree; consistency is the most important part of this. With Python, you know where you stand - performance comes from elsewhere. With Julia it might be internal, a C/Fortran library, or apparently other things now too.

Lustre is not aligned at all with your requirements, so forget that one. Ceph is much more complex than Gluster, but also more capable. Honestly unless you are dealing with hundreds of TB of storage (and therefore need multiple servers anyw

Sandboxing is fine, but it sounds like Snaps/Flatpaks don't actually do it because that would be too hard - so what's the point? I get that some packages do actually have sandboxing, but unless it is mandatory and enforced I

UV and Superdome are custom hardware for huge NUMA boxes,so not a great comparison. ScaleMP is definitely valid though - a real shame it is stuck behind a license fee, would be interesting to experiment with.

The repeated references to Breton Woods/petrodollar reminds me of when Nigel Farage kept banging on about Habeas Corpus during the Brexit debates. To put it another way, this sounds like the lunatic ramblings of a homeless man hanging

HAMR/MAMR have been well understood and just on the road to commercial viability since at least 2014 (probably long before, but that is when I came across them). Toshiba being such a small percentage of the disk market makes their late

Nonsense. People are allowed to make bad trades every second of every day without protection from the platform; but now they develop a conscience and save people from themselves? If this is true, RH and other platforms pulling smiliar stunt

As individuals, we (mostly) want companies building open source to thrive, particularly if they aren't behemoths of the industry. Ultimately though, efficiency matters more than sentiment. Companies rightly prefer a "good enough&q
