The Amiga was loudly marketed as having a 32-bit CPU though (the Atari ST a lot less so, for whatever reason). Having a 16-bit ALU in theory would make the 9900 a 16-bit processor as much as the 8086. The TI-99/4A is definitely weird (

Elon didn't remove bad performers, he pivoted from social network to political platform. They removed moderators not because they were unnecessary or performed badly, but rather because they were actively harmful to the new mission.

Not NVIDIA; fly.io reimplemented the parts that CH didn't already have. I know that CH is developed on GitHub but I don't know whether the changes are public or in-house. That said, the slowness of QEMU's startup is always ex

NVIDIA support is not special as far as QEMU is concerned—the special parts are all in their proprietary device driver, and they talk to QEMU via the VFIO infrastructure for userspace drivers. They just reimplemented the same thing in Cloud

Yes, I totally agree. What I meant is that sometimes enterprise comes first, sometimes desktop comes first, sometimes they meet in the middle.

When systemd came out people were saying that it added desktop bloat that was useless for servers, so maybe the truth is in the middle...

For what it's worth, I think the main issue is archival. Like it or not, there's nothing that beats email when it comes to preservation.

It's very easy to develop tunnel vision when working remotely with people you've not even ever met. It's happened to me multiple times and there's a very high chance that this is happening here.

Indeed, and that's exactly what the Rust for Linux guys are doing. They have Binder, multiple changes with various degrees of dependency on newer compilers, support for different kinds of drivers, and they are extracting them and sendi

I don't know, dropping 17000 lines of code is probably not the best way to solicit technical discussions ( https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240826103728.3378-1-greg@enje... is the patch set in question)

With a lot of simplification, consuming electricity acts as a brake on giant wheels inside the power plants that are usually spinning at mains frequency. The plants accelerate the same wheels, so with much demand the braking wins and with t

60 is the easier one, in that you can divide it by 3/4/6/12 and have an integer frequency. Probably the reason why a lot of Babylonian math used base 60, which is where our time and angle measurements come from.

It's giving an alternative that you can support to your paying customers, over one where you have found out after 5 years of contributions that you weren't welcome. Yes it was inferior but the alternative was nothing at all. Shoul

That's not "forcing", it's choosing what you ship and especially (since RHEL is a paid product) for what software you're willing to spend money on customer support and feature requests. Fedora has always had Docker

Of the three you mention, the only one where you might have a point is Podman (and even then it's not entirely black and white, for example Podman's most appealing feature is not having a daemon). Systemd was the second attempt at

Even then the problem with doing complicated stuff in Make is that it's very hard to reproduce the environment that triggered the bug in the first place. I came to the conclusion that you need to treat all of the build system as a line

Apart from the comparison to NTDLL making no sense, you'd be wrong about the tools too. It aims to provide a basic standardized way to do most system-level management (set up networking, do DNS resolution, get a decently synchronized s

Assuming download and decompression cost to be proportional to the size of the incoming compressed stream, it would break even at 2000 downloads. A big assumption I know, but 2000 is a really small number.
