Useless. They tried already in Italy. Results? Unsolicited iphone calls from other EU country codes.

Maybe, yes "maybe" Robert got inspiration from a guy who lived two thousands years earlier.

This is not the first time I see people copy-typing text by hand instead of copy-pasting it.

I am not sure why they do that, but when I see a DevOps engineer doing it I have a chilling feel.

If my plans is to have it all invested (or spent), then yes it is ok.

... and It is ok.

I bought 16TB disk because I needed that much storage.

If I were using, say, only 10TB, I would be wasting 6TB.

I can expand my LVM as much as I can. But I definitely want my disk to be full. Same goes for my RAM.

And I want my CPU ide time to stay as close as possible to 0% and my load average as close as possible to my no. of CPUs.

Anything else would mean oversizing and overspending.

Italy, like Germany, Austria and maybe a few more European countries host more than 5,000 "castles".

RV64 toy/hobby kernel. No compatibility aim but rather at efficiency and speed.

Who has been validating that approach to solve their own optimization target?

Which optimizer replaces a 64k loop with 64k instructions?

Ah, yes. Microsoft's!

> they fixed it during emulation

It means the fix was applied to run during the emulation loop execution, not that the fix was found and applied while the emulation loop was running.

Which would have made it an emulation code escape.

More modern doesn't mean any better or more powerful.

I for one hate this need for going "more modern" without having clear and factual advantages.

Flight policies have always been very weird.

I remember I was not allowed to use a laptop with a CD or DVD attached.

Now you have internet on board.
