How do you learn that solution curve and their tradeoffs? Swap jobs and hope you see them all in your lifetime? Read articles and hope you pick everything up correctly?

The V-model is interesting. I'm a student and kinda new to the different development models. How to decide whether such meticulous design is necessary or not? In hindsight Btrfs may have benefited, but how to decide when to and when no

Can you tell how such evaluation on a design is done? Is some kind of formal verification, analysis or rather experimentation to figure out its properties normal? Thank you for your input!

Do other parts stomp often? :) But true that can happen. Especially on non-ECC systems. I didn't think about the hardware issues, hmm. I can't see how to do that, when the compiler guarantees get invalidated by hardware. Checks ar

Sorry I was unclear :) Maybe they would limit storage to 90% now, seeing that it increases complexity. Maybe I misunderstood the prior point though. Thanks fr mentioning Redox!

I thought the Rust compiler solves issues that you wouldn't immediately see with pure C, which is why I had the idea. I didn't know this requires certain features which are not available inside the kernel. I only knew all existing

Interesting decision they made, I wonder whether they would decide differently now after seeing all the complexity. So Rust does not decrease the complexity, but only removes certain kinds of errors which the compiler can detect. Neither lo

Good theory, thank you.

Any rewrite must be carefully evaluated, true. And it may not be advisable. I'm trying to understand the issues. Are they not solvable because the kernel does not give enough guarantees as it gives to userspace, because the c-interface

Why does btrfs have those issues compared to other filesystems? I'd love to use btrfs too. Note that I deeply respect people who can write such complicated code, which I couldn't. Would Rust solve the non-speed issues? Rust-in-ker

I will probably use Arch too. Only have to choose good displays then :)

250 sounds nice, compared to 220 retina ppi for macs. If its only constrained by the display that would be good. I will love buying 3080/5950x as my new workstation. hmm

I only use the desktop mac so that's not much an issue probably, there it is probably 2x scaling. Interesting how Windows can handle anything as long as the hardware supports it!

I was probably too much into their marketing. Is it the same for Linux/Archlinux?

Does the displays on Windows look as crispy as on MacOS? That's the fear I have of switching away. I love how crisp to the eye everything is.

I've read that COVID-19 can sometimes be found inside the body even after testing negative for some time. This being a reason for continued weakness and impairment after infection. Could this possibly continued infection lead to faster

Similar on Github, how do you announce new forks and get people to come to you instead of opening issues which can be closed?
