It's all about specializing code to a certain type at compile time and therefore removing any kind dynamic dispatch during runtime.

You can't push your changed commits without forcing them, and if you force them, then you're overwriting the remote repo and all guys having a clone will have "fun" on their next pull.

Wouldn't it be smart to add one easy recognizable and breakable tracking system and another more hidden one? ;)

Oh, thanks, I just heard it again and yes, Linus says "suicidal", at the time I might just heard "suicided".

Linus told a story about a guy, that wrote something for the kernel and Linus thought in the first place that it was more or less bullshit, but didn't told it directly to the guy, so when the guy was finished and wanted to get his stuf

Perhaps you wouldn't be as good without these "downtimes". I think a lot of the true potential thinking is just misguided.

Thanks, that makes sense. So the 'make' function is more about the reserving of memory.
