Looking forward to reading the results of your benchmarking Hurd vs. Linux.

I'm having a hard time believing that data centers are chomping at the bit to use the Hurd.

>small enough to fit entirely in the L2 cache Shouldn't the "hot" path fit in the L1 of a "modern" processor (100 kB+)?

If people really cared about performance, we'd be doing something other than the bloated way we have been doing things. https://winworldpc.com/product/qnx/144mb-demo

So for an I/O heavy program like a web browser, what percentage of CPU time is spent in syscalls? Someone must have that data for Firefox. 1%? 10%? And then that moves to 1.1% (or …

Hurd is like 36 years old at this point. More like adding 20% to a 10 second operation, compared to adding 20% to a 10ms operation.

Is that a bottleneck anymore? Maybe something that was appreciable in 1994 isn't a big performance hit in 2026?

Thanks

>a rename might affect indentation I think I need to see an example.

>copy-pasting Underappreciated benefit of side benefit of indentation based languages: no copy-pasta.

Is this not a slam-dunk libel case?

Seems like: https://github.com/J-jaeyoung/bad-epoll ...is the source material. I'm not a kernel guy; I'm not following how this works: "With that control, the exploit gains an arbi…

Is there a source of average price per wedding over time, since say 1800? $12,000 still sounds over the top, even accounting for inflation.

Decompiling binary blobs is a strong suit for LLM AI, right? Maybe progress on this will be faster than I expect? Does the FSF spend money on non-free AI services? That is, do they…

>We have centimeter (10 mm) then decimeter (100mm) Does anyone actually use those? I think I would throw up a little in my mouth if I saw either of those on a mechanical drawing.

They plow the mountain passes in the winter time in at least Montana and Idaho. I'd be very surprised if they don't in Colorado or Utah.
