But systemd was never just an init system. AFAIK, systemd has always been advertised as a system and service manager for Linux. With that in mind it makes perfect sense that systemd manages what it does. Whether or not such an architecture

Racism is hate speech, and hate speech is not a form of protected speech. Where did you ever get this idea? Hate speech is still protected under law. Of course Google doesn't have the same restrictions as the government, the could pr

Can you clarify what you disagree with in the article? The author wasn't saying programmers need to understand all the complexities of pointers to write good code, nor was he saying anything about the quality of those languages. Also,

Higher level languages which rely more on "zero cost abstractions" are much further removed from CPU and memory. Higher level languages are much further removed from C's model of the CPU and memory. And despite that "d

No, I wouldn't say C is the least terrible option. Languages like Ada/SPARK, C++, D, Rust, and Zig all outclass C in terms of safety and usability without sacrificing performance. And although ATS has many sharp edges, it demonstr

C is so old I wouldn't be surprised if harping on it was considered passé by the time Visual Basic was released. Language "elitists" don't comment on C often because everyone knows that it's a terribly designed lang

Nashorn is deprecated though, and GraalVM is its intended replacement. So why even evaluate Nashorn for new projects?
