   "I know how to get things right." Ah, you're one of those people. Sure. :-)

    Linux has supported big.LITTLE style systems for a long time, and has been improving scheduler support for them for about 10 years. (The main gap you tend to see in the Linux world is integration further up the stack. For example, allowing

    I know Raph for his graphics, typeface and desktop work, so seeing his name pop up in this was a surprise! Can't keep a good genius down.

    Are you confusing "making fun of" with "offensive", or "punching down"? These are not the same things.

    Yes! And it's worth getting comfortable with change and learning from it, instead of being weird and reactionary about it.

    Please don't mischaracterise the point: The solar storm is not more likely than a software bug. The effect of the solar storm is more likely than a similar effect by a software bug (particularly in the context of AWS).

    I've been using sqlfluff with dbt for a while now, and not only has it been a delight to use, the maintainers are incredibly responsive.

    Everyone knows that a richer file chooser is a desirable, highly requested feature and has been for years. There's no question about that, and no one's being dismissive about that. Actually fixing it is a whole other matter. Genui
