The missle that struck MH17 detonated just above the cockpit

I don't think Linus can merge from GitHub. Linux requires DCO and it to be reviewed by 2 people (or maybe this is outdated now?)

Some of these issues were solved by Spark. Do agree with the overall point, people shouldn’t be reaching for Hadoop when Postgres would suffice. Indexes are fast. Use them.

It's easy to hide things in the Python build process as well. Things like using `getattr` instead of . (dot) etc

What's the recommended way to learn RISC-V assembly (including SIMD)? For ARM I just found a book I liked and did the exercises on my Mac M1 (replacing system call numbers etc and changing page sizes).

I’ve never seen such an incorrect statement in my life — have you ever been to Europe?

Yeah but why pay someone to look after databases when I could get them do something else that'll have way more value. Using managed services just reduces how much money I have to spend upfront.

Yep I just changed the font size to 18px in my dev tools and it looks better. Still don't think serif fonts are the best for a blog but guess that's just my opinion.

The font on that site is awful and too small. I’m on a MacBook Pro Retina 2015

You can just write char drivers that operate a slab of kernel memory, and implement all the syscalls like open, read, write on that piece of memory.

Might be a bit controversial but I found writing drivers for Linux on my raspberry pi helped me understand kernels, virtual memory etc. I used Linux Device Drivers (ldd3) which is free online. The book was written for the 2.6 kernel but someone on GitHub updated the code for the latest kernels.

Looks like the anti-glare coating is coming off too. That happened to my MacBook and Apple replaced the whole screen for free, that's pretty good considering it was 4 years old.

Isn't that the same with any hardware you get? Someone could intercept your server from Dell and put malware on it.
