Eh, it takes 5-10 minutes to install OpenBSD, it's very straightforward. The installer requires little more than tapping return a few times and entering a root password & optional user at some point. I've yet to see a Linux

Info is even worse IMHO. Navigating a hierarchy makes it harder to skim and search through, as well as easier to get lost. And when you have such hierarchy, manual writers can use that as an excuse to write even longer (sigh) manuals. To

One thing that annoys me is excess verbosity (that doesn't make the manual any more readable or easier to skim through). Man page for find(1) is a typical example. http://man.openbsd.org/find https://linux.

If you stop scaling node size down and start scaling die size up, the result will be higher prices and power consumption. If you don't mind, go buy a Threadripper or EPYC. Might consider getting multiple sockets while at it. Caveat:

Look at mobile CPUs? What limits them might have arised naturally, but it's still quite arbitrary (battery life, cooling capacity).

You call it beauty, but to me a pile of unnecessary abstractions (and the associated boilerplate) is just ugly. It can be fun to design and build, kinda like goldberg machines, but I wouldn't decorate my home or art with such things.

Separate metadata/markup for presentation + code sounds sounds like a straightforward choice, but I'm concerned that it'll incur a lot of maintenance overhead, and the programmer working with the code still needs to keep it u

When samplerate is fixed, different pitches show up as waveforms having a different number of samples (per cycle). Each sample is a constant time step apart; you can count the number of samples (= length of time) of a period. Frequency is
