In the bay area this trend of nounifying verbs is common amongst VCs and C-level startup execs. I'm not sure if it's arisen due to peacocking or a higher incidence of ESL in those communities.

First let me just say that while it's possible to interpret my original comment as uniquely applying to LMDB (or databases with similar page cache designs), in practice it applies to all general purpose databases including PostgreSQL a

This level of reasoning is insufficient when building reliable systems. The consequences of depending on the OS for page caching are different than the consequences of depending on it for device drivers, file systems, or scheduling.

Sure seccomp has its flaws but it's not unworkable. You could just simply gate execution from running on any newer version of Linux of which you don't have a complete syscall list. Or variations on that theme if you need more flex

The guy appears to have a fragile ego. Any criticism and he goes nuclear, as if he was never told "no" as a child. Sure you can have opinions about the best way to moderate comments, but I can't imagine thinking I was special

Your argument is unironically "real Liberalism hasn't been tried yet." "critical theory" and "identity politics" are not "weird offshoots," they are unavoidable consequences of Liberalism. No mat

The answer to Liberalism dying isn't more Liberalism. Liberalism is dying precisely because Liberalism is wrong or at minimum, unsustainable. The attitude of the writer is exactly like the fetishists of every dead ideology, in particul

Bcachefs comes off as a vanity project, as most open source software seems to be. The public rationale for it also strongly projects NIH. Therefore, its demise as everyone comes to grips with that is not very surprising. Hopefully this deve
