Incorrect translation, Allahu Akbar means “the god is the greatest” Allah is not a name that came with Islam but existed before, it just means deity. the Al prefix is the definite singular form. It just says one thing: god is a singleton an

Sorry to disagree, but no, they are not dozens of different languages. The challenge with Arabic is that it has a rather large vocabulary, and different regions use slightly different vocabularies. That being said, Darija, or rather North A

Why do things have to be comparable? Why did you cherry pick infant mortality? Yes reducing infants mortality is one of the things where we improved.

The most dangerous thing about Capitalism is imho its universal equivalence, its ability to make us covert everything into a monetary value. In other words, it’s just like a programming language where everything can be implicitly converted

Yes, but you don’t end up with different glyphs. Arabic script has letter shaping, that means a letter can have up to 4 shapes based on its position within the word. If you chop off the last letter, the previous one which used to have a “mi

The underlying problem is lack of isolation, and this is an area where the Erlang process model shines: processes are fully isolated and you can send a signal externally to terminate any process you want.

No global GC. Each erlang process does its own GC, and the GC only happens when the process runs out of space (ie. the heap and stack meet). You can for example configure a process to have enough initial memory so as not to ever run into GC

GC determinism is one of the things you get. Another one is non cooperative asynchronous termination.

Vala is very much used among other things by Frida. I have been involved with Vala in it’s early day and some hardcore GObject/C users never quite liked the C code that Vala generated although it was perfectly valid and exposed a ver

The UUID spec update has not been finalized yet. It would be quite unfortunate to end up with a UUID v7 in PostgreSQL that’s not quite the standardized one because the patch got merged too quickly. EDIT: here is the IETF working group page

It's quite unfortunate that this article mixes up what's necessary for podman quadlets with coreOS concepts. With quadlets, the only thing required is to drop a `.container` file in the right place and you end up with a container

Faster doesn’t mean more responsive, in fact very often an increase in throughput leads to an increase in latency.

Each RTP packet has a 32bit timestamp, and a 32 bit SSRC. Each "sender" in an RTP session must use the same SSRC, this is how synchronisation between audio and video streams from the same sender (lip-sync) is achieved. The timesta

The maximum number of simultaneously alive Erlang processes is by default 262,144. This needs to be raised to avoid the `system_limit` error.
