    I'm guessing it is safe to say you never played sports.

    How about chess?

    Competition draws psychopaths? Ok.

  2. I'm told that in still air, the AoA sensor vanes droop, showing a negative AoA. I am not a pilot, let alone an avionics experts, so YMMV.

  3. Error detection is distinct from error correction.

    The first is sufficient for many systems, even critical systems.

    >so they don't take massive amounts of RAM

    The whole purpose of shared libraries is that multiple applications can mmap the same .text area.

    The reason you don't see large memory usage is only because applications take proportionally orders of magnitude more bss/heap/stack compared with .text than they used to.

    To that extent, fine. Let's ditch shared libraries. But you could do the same by just statically linking all of your binaries.

  17. > Many times the package maintainer will actually submit something but when they get the WTF that isn't how we want our software handled from the devs they disappear and never some back.

    I've seen this happen as well.

  18. This is because many upstream developers don't think it is their responsibility to help package maintainers.

    It may not be their responsibility, but it is certainly in their interest to at least provide a few different packaging options *built into* the upstream sources, .deb and .rpm being the most common.

    But they've all thrown up their hands and said "it's not my problem", leaving us with the cancer that is snap and docker, then complain that Debian is trash.

    Guess what, docker, lxd, and snapd won't even run on debian if you can't even be bothered to make functional docker, docker-compose, snapd, lxd et al debs upstream.

    As I said "Debian devs will drop one by one due to these people."

    Debian will die because of that idiotic attitude, and all that will be left is containers. Wonderful.
