> A good web forum is vastly superior to mailing lists. This is easily refutable - one can make a web frontend to mailing list that imitates the look of any forum. Getting forum into email client (or other frontend) not so much ;-P And o

That too is a problem but I hate it more for being a proprietary information black hole.

I find a lot of people older than, say, ~35 abhor Discord. Just like a decade+ ago they thought web forums were vastly inferior to mailing lists. And they were right on both counts =)

Probably useful to link https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/pull/189/files for some context. Looks like author overdramatizes the situation a bit.

It's no fun when rats run towards you straight into your foot or get on your shoe. Especially the former happens almost daily to me in LIC.

I linked bash to bash.exe and was able to start it however everything from /bin was failing with: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Turns out it doesn't work when I start bash by double click bash.

Your dependencies might be tied to different JVM versions. Less likely but happened few times, especially during 8 to 9+ transition. You would've been stuck with your entire system on Java 8 for ages. Also JNI won't be isolated wh

The article mentions avoiding GC pressure and separation between recording and processing as big wins for performance for runtimes like Java but you could do the same inside Java by using ring buffer, no?

> The key insight with LSP is that languages are _way_ too different to have that notion of language capabilities. And yet the very opposite of this is the source of JetBrains success.

That would eat into their profits. All the relevant parts of IntelliJ that could be turned into Java language server are already open source so monetization would be tricky.

If someone has enough privileges to access /proc/*/environ of another process (i.e. root or the same user or process or child process) then they should be easily able to reach inside the container, no?

No it is not (well it might be with antiquated CORBA/DCOM stack but these are just examples, something newer like GRPC would be easier, the point is that it's solvable). Also the original complaint was about explosion of language

You can implement it ("or something like it") on any system. In fact there is a plenty of those. Remoting isn't impossible either (e.g. DCOM, CORBA, GRPC).
