I haven't kept up with Gentoo. How long does it take these days to bootstrap a functional desktop from source? I remember when it was my main driver back in early '00s, running on a horribly underpowered PII at 266MHz. It would of

Number of commits is not a very good metric to measure contributions. It would only work when there is an agreed style of commits and everyone sticks to that. Number of blame lines per contributor would be overall much more accurate, and im

So how will the carrier strike groups be used? Sink Chinese navy ships? That's one step up the escalation ladder. China will reciprocate with sinking some escort ships of the carrier groups, just to make a point and demonstrate their h

What would make carrier strike groups effective in the situation? Given their recent record in the defense of Israel and against the Yemeni Red Sea blockade, one could argue that their era is over. The two most likely outcomes from a carrie

You make it sound like some kind of natural law that we have no saying over. It isn't. The whole concept of wealth accumulation is entirely human-made, and influenced by what the society is willing to tolerate.
