    Shouldn't it be the mathematician who answers “In an infinite amount of time.”, and the physicist who answers "never"?
    The mathematician may not care, but the physicist "knows" about the eventual entropy death of the universe, which, happening in finite time, will ensure it's actually never going to happen.

    With systemd you can enable/disable this with a easy setting on a per daemon basis and also define "only respawn X number of times during Y number of seconds"

    Indeed. Like you can do with init. But let not get facts in your way of spreading systemd propaganda.

    There's a ton of old technology that needs reinventing.

    Why?

    What about replacing the current model of RAM/CPU/Disk/Network with something new?

    What's wrong with "the current model of RAM/CPU/Disk/Network?" More importantly, what does Disk/Network have to do with RAM/CPU?

    How about reinventing RAM? It's ancient.

    Networking? Time for an overhaul.

    TCP/IP is like 50 years old.

    People with a functioning brain don't expect software to be open source any more than they expect open-source cars, food, clothes, etc. Hell, pretty much all chip designs are closed source, as is pretty much all BIOS code - what's the point of being smug about a FOSS software stack if your hardware is proprietary?

    Being able to change things you don't like, especially if you are a developer, duh. I've patched dozens of projects including my OS, userland and kernel. I wouldn't be able to do that on closed source software. I don't care about the philosophical bullshit your straw man is made of.

    If, as a developer, it has never occured to you to modify your tooling, then there's something fundamentally wrong with you.

  25. What does the source code of the JVM have to do with anything?

    Well he said java would run the very same code "on many OS" so i wasn't entirely sure whether he's talking about java source (in which case those many OS are the one JVM) or the JVM itself (in which case he's wrong). That is the reason for the 'or' in my 'and/or'.

    The platform is obviously the JVM

    The JVM *is* the platform

    and obviously has to be tuned to the specific hardware and OS [].

    FTFY.

    FWIW, I don't want any of this. I'm only tired of the "java runs anywhere" bullshit because pretty much the opposite is true.
