Good work. Probably still a bit precarious for me to try at the moment but the idea of low power SBCs with virt capabilities is intriguing as I like to run very thin VMs to encapsulate a single small application.

Elaborate memory management (paging) systems need caching of lookups for high performance. But they can go wrong. The post was made in a security/safety context but did I miss something, because it didn't seems to make clear what

Might I differ on "easy", from second hand experience of watching my father go through his advanced yachtsmanship RYA Astro Navigation exams and cursing at trig functions? In practice its a lot of paper and compasses.

Yes, just more generally document it I've lost count of how many things i've fixed only to to see; 1) It recurs because a deeper "cause" of the bug reactivated it. 2) Nobody knew I fixed something so everyone continued

Not everything in life is a scientific experiment that fits into an undergraduate "research methods" model of the world. What does it even mean to conduct a sampling of "findability" within a system whose results depend

The problem that I noticed is if you open two terms on different hosts (say by ssh) and run watch commands then, regardless of resolution, they'll be out of sync. There's no hard tick event common to both kernels. And as someone a

That doesn't even show ms. Add something like +%s%N (ns) to the options if you want finer resolution.

Definitely not the full explanation. I made a strident, blunt statement to move the discussion along. If you follow the Hobbsian thing the biggest gang is the state. And it's supposed to be "our" gang cos we vote for it and g

If you join a gang you get protection from that gang. There are some gangs you can join where you get to kill people, with total impunity, if you're into that sort of thing. Corporations are just another kind of gang. Don't let th

Planck length isn't an experimentally observable thing like Millikans oil drop shows quanta of charge, As I understand, it's a thing that "falls out of" all the other stuff we can measure and appears once we take values
