I'd assume "disaster" refers to "future of desktop GUIs", not to Eclipse.

GTK4 doesn't even support subpixel rendering any more, and with OLED market share increasing I'd anticipate Windows moving away from it at some point too.

Bootstrappable Builds: How and Why
Re:Teaching Kids Forth
on Monday July 27, 2026 @04:59AM (#49066863)
From personal experience, I strongly disagree with the negative comments saying Forth isn't suitable for teaching children.
"Starting Forth" by Leo Brodie was the first programming book I ever read when I was about 6 or 7 years old, after my dad brought it home from work (where they used Forth). To me, the language felt very intuitive and easy to grasp. And Brodie's illustrations helped a lot with visualizing how it all worked.

Maybe because your statement about SSDs is incorrect. Consumer SSDs have spare blocks too, and wear leveling prevents the scenario you're describing.

That's usually caused by the adapter chipset overheating. Don't use USB adapters for important data.

USB/SATA adapters are incredibly flaky. Some don't support TRIM, some have major firmware bugs, many overheat during long data transfers and disconnect from the host. I'd strongly advise against using them for any important data.
