strscpy seems like a nice interface. Is an implementation outside of the kernel available? Preferably one that is permissively-licensed? Also, it doesn't appear to be specified what happens if the count argument is too large to be repr

It's alluding to the nabla symbol ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabla_symbol ) used in mathematics, and the similarity in sound between the two does not go unnoticed by many students of calculus.

This seems to be similar to the Costco / Sam's Club membership model, but only on certain items. Costco's profits are largely from memberships, as items are sold close to cost. I imagine Amazon is selling these items at lower

Although this approach is obvious, there are complicating factors. The Coriolis force makes high-RPM centrifugal gravity unpleasant and perhaps dangerous to humans. So, to achieve 1g, structures would need to be very large (224 meters). Non
