> why they'd want to go through all of the trouble choosing to use Linux What trouble? Try to install Fedora and Win 11 and tell us which is faster and simpler.

Not sure if that applies to your line of work but RHEL has been an increasingly annoying source of issues in low-latency space. Their kernels are a bizarre mixture of cherry picked stuff from upstream and a completely bonkers project struct

From my experience the biggest PITA with switching to jdk 17 and beyond is the module system (jigsaw). Very few projects utilize this in practice and instead of being a step forward it's a source of annoying runtime errors and typicall

Not sure if you're trolling or just very naive. Knowing and having proof are two different things. Does Russian journalists and political activists falling out of windows en masse tell you anything? Or would you say they were all exper

You are correct, it's either point-to-point, like direct cross-connects with the exchange or it's a relatively small intranet. Additionally, an overwhelming majority of packets flying around are market data. You don't want to

This is confidently incorrect. If you're making observations of very short-lived processes your margin of error will be in micro-, nano-, atto-seconds etc. If you're looking at processes that take billions of years, naturally the

This is a narrow way of looking at UDP applications. The whole HFT, low-latency fintech world is built on top of datagrams. Using TCP would be pure the worst choice possible.

Are you ok? My comment has nothing to do with space programs.

It looks like you don't understand what Linux is at all. It's just a kernel that other distributions build on top of to create an OS. You have multiple "UIs" available in that space, like gnome, kde and others. I have no

Yup, a 20+ years Linux user here. Most of that time I used Ubuntu but their insistence on shoving shitty snap system down everyone's throats broke the camel's back for me. Switched to Fedora two years ago. Another great example ho

It's amazing how I've been running Linux as my daily driver for 20+ years and never had problems other people raise about Linux drivers.

I will never understand American culture. Titty visible - bad, dead schoolkids - ok. In many ways the country is spiralling into Gliead-esqe state from Handsmaid Tales and I can't stop watching it.

At this point I'm very sceptical about anything any Boeing official says.

100% agree. My daughter's school in Blackheath has special Faraday cage pouches for each student. Children deposit their phones in their pouches and upon crossing the school gate the pouches get magnetically sealed until the student le

No, correlation alone is not interesting at all. If you were right we should be studying how the reduction in piracy over the last few centuries is strongly correlated with the increase in global warming. Pure nonsense.

You do realise there's a very good reason for those sanctions, don't you.

Are you talking about the same FAA that allowed Boeing people to certify themselves?

You make it sound as if the US is a paragon of workers rights. From what I can say it's pretty bad in the land of the free. Nowhere near the civilised world at least.

Boeing should forget about the 737 Max and return to what they have been doing very well over the past couple of decades - buying back their stock and raising executive compensation.

How much staffing does a feature like that even require? It's not like it even requires any maintenance at this point. They could just leave it alone.

Not a single data breach resulted in the guilty company's demise or even noticeable financial or reputational damage. Nothing will ever change and this will keep happening more often.

Your argument makes as much sense as banning knives because they are sometimes misused to attack people. What about alcohol? Some people drink and drive, we should ban alcohol too!
