That doesn’t apply as a solution here. After all Jia Tan did make pull requests, the pressure came later.

Yes, if I recall correctly the Darwin kernel does implement the POSIX standard.

Agreed, and since we’re at it, same for compilers honestly.

Yeah if we narrow the question down to specifically consumer level OSes, then the best chance would be if some really big conglomerate decided they needed their own independent thing. Like Google did with Fuchsia, next time Samsung or the Chinese State perhaps. But even then a scenario like Android or Tizen would be the more likely outcome, a different userland implemented on Linux.

The Systems group at ETH Zürich where I studied had their own operating system, called Barrelfish because apparently making an OS is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel to these crazy people (this is meant positively, I hold them in high esteem). Side note they also made their own computer called Enzian. The combination of both is intended to allow them to do research off the beaten path with some different core design choices.

And we built our own student versions of barrelfish-like OSes during a course, if I recall correctly we only used their boot code to get the ARM cores on the Pandaboards up and running, then everything else was individual per group of four. We all had a lot of fun with our very individual memory management bugs, filesystem bugs, shell bugs, capability bugs and so on :-)

PS: There is also Redox OS where some people wrote an OS completely in Rust.

You haven’t mentioned what sort of access link or speed you have, that seems very relevant here.

For my 1Gbit/s fiber connection the Edgerouter 6P has been pretty good. It has an SFP port and can route 1 Gbit/s of traffic without issue and my dual-stack setup works well too.

The only significant downside is that its switching is slow, it has no hw support. So I put my NAS on a separate subnet instead so that the traffic to it can be routed instead.

And why isn’t “a male” just as bad?

It is.

And what’s intrinsically wrong about those two as a noun?

Because you’re reducing people to their characteristics of identity.

Why is it ok to call someone “a fire fighter“, “a journalist”, and not “a female”?

Because those are characteristics of their chosen functions.

It seems pretty easy to me, and I’m not even a native speaker.

My wife tells me that using as an adjective is just as bad and that I should always say “woman”, e.g. a woman politician and never a female politician.

Using a noun as an adjective is just weird, honestly.

Premium product experience

The hardware is pretty premium, but the software is such a pain. As a result the overall experience is just “okay”.

In the 15 years I’ve had a mobile phone I have changed around 5 times. But the last one was just an upgrade that added 40 GB of data while roaming in the EU, US and Canada to my previous unlimited plan for Switzerland only. That increased the cost from 20 to 25 Swiss Franks per month.

Wow the SEO world is really sick

Yes, but a heat pump for heating is somwhere from 200% to 500% efficient.

Wrong country, dude

You want that thread, not this one

Victorianox

It’s called Victorinox, from “Victor-” from Victoria, the founders Mother, and “-inox” from “acier inoxydable”, i.e., non-oxidizing steel.

Of course he doesn’t want that, he strengthened Hamas specifically so there would be no single clear entity in the PNA with which he would have to negotiate for a two state solution. Except he underestimated Hamas and they became too strong. I don’t understand what his current theory of victory is though… annexing Gaza?

Regular bathing isn’t what you want, frequent bathing, that’s important. What good is it if someone bathes with great regularity on the first of every month?

“in the lab” is always a dangerous one. If the Tokyo U people only just demonstrated that hard carbon electrode, then who knows if it can be produced at an industrial scale and if that can be done economically. Even if it can, maybe there is still enough time until production picks up that one more technological refresh on the LiFePO4 production is justified in the mean time.

Besides, there is some inherent inertia, in research, in the markets, in politics. Even if a clear technological winner emerged suddenly some researchers would still have a year or two to finish their grant and publish their findings, some production lines would produce until their eventual superior replacements come online and the stocks would be sold off, and some subsidies would still be payed out until a new law could redirect the funds to only support the acceleration of the new best thing.

Pied Piper middle out compression for your RAM

But seriously it’s so ridiculous especially since he said it in an interview with a machine learning guy. Exactly the type of guy who needs a lot of RAM for his own processes working on his own data using his own programs. Where the OS has no control over precision, access patterns or the data streaming architecture.
