Two years in prison (the minimum ceiling for all new offences mentioned by the press release) is a bit much if this section is just for posturing and brownie points.

This can be fixed with a split model. Chromium sometimes introduces fairly ad-hoc APIs (there was one to hook into HTTP requests, first declaratively which was discontinued, then with JS-side filtering which seems to be used by the ABP port

On Linux at least, the rest of your RAM will be used by the page cache which does a lot to make disk access efficient, and as much as possible bypassed entirely.

If it happens after a day or so, memory is certainly a factor. Also, https://bugzil.la/695693 might be relevant, one of the comments explains how to diagnose if this is a reflow bug.

I found relevant results for $_, $argv, @memoize, useful completion but no results for $@ and $#, nothing at all for $!. Python programmers rejoice, Perl programmers still mourn code search.

Rust actually has multiple heaps with their own lifetime characteristics so that they can avoid GC in many cases, and that the only GCed areas are per-thread.

The costs of threads vs processes are identical if you're prepared to put some stuff in virtual memory (except on Windows, and I don't know if that has improved). Processes default to full isolation, threads are the reverse, but Rust has en

No parametric polymorphism, which means plenty of casts, runtime checks, and annotations. This sacrifices performance, compile-time guarantees, and programmer productivity for a simpler and slightly faster compiler.

The syntax could be made much better by focusing on usability and readability. It seems unimportant at first, but I know people get turned off functional languages because of this, and people go so far as to maintain alternate syntaxes and

gevent works thanks to monkey patching of a great many libraries. Its failure modes are a lot more obscure than with callbacks; you pretty much have to unwrap nonblocking calls in your mind that aren't apparent in the code.
