>You can still run 31-bit s390 usermode binaries on an s390x kernel Ah thanks, I didn't realize that was possible. I'm no where near rich and/or old enough to have ever encountered an s390 machine IRL :)

Ahhhhh, thanks. So would this mean we could, instead of replacing entire joints, just replace the cartilage, leading to a much faster recovery?

I'm thinking that in tendon/ligament replacements, they wouldn't need to pull from somewhere else in the body. For example, with tommy john surgery, they usually take a tendon from the thigh to replace the torn ligament in th

FWIW Linux does support s390 (n.b., not to be confused with s390x), which is a 31 bit arch. Rust does not support it (and I'd guess LLVM doesn't either). So Linux does support some "weird" arches still. This is partially

LLVM is the real bottleneck here. I've worked with a platform that would have been easy to build a custom rust for (even if it wasn't officially supported), but was held up by the lack of LLVM support.

The absolute number of people tells you nothing about the state of the labor market. Every additional person demands services, which creates jobs to fufill the demand, and then the employees of that job use their income to pay for goods and

Everyone spies on everyone, no one is actually shocked by that. The US does it too (see the interception of Angela Merkel's phone calls...) The key is you don't get caught doing it, because it removes plausible deniability.

The way to solve the parking problem is to price street parking, not to require new buildings to build parking while the existing houses get off scott free. It's the exact same supply and demand argument: limited supply so how do you r

Complete speculation, but I think you'd find that's true for most problems. Very little CPU time is spent on the business logic, and the rest is overhead.

You would have to deal with that yourself. But it's typically just a variable in the service definition, so it's very easy to override.

It's one line of override configuration, how is that not trivial? Edit: Totally granted, figuring out that one line the first time might take 6 hours, but once you know how to do it you're good to go the next time. The documentati

Nix supports this quite well. https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/#multiple-versions The Nix and container mindset are very similar in that they refer to all of their dependencies, including down to glibc.
