Putin himself has crossed border already.

I think it is best for me to leave this little Intellectual Curiosity Club.

> Ukraine had no interest in shooting down it's own cargo plane.

Cargo -- no. MA plane -- very much.

Their so-called ATO (in reality, genocide) failed just recently. Some of their troops were surrounded at UA-RU border by rebels, they are desorganised, some are fleeing into Russia even.

At this point Kiev needs something.

People burned alive in Odessa.

Many people (noncombatants) killed in Lugansk from BM-21 "Grad" bombings.

Artillery shooting near UA-RU border, killing two soldiers.

Shooting over cross-border stations while refugees were trying to escape into Russia.

Many episodes.

Kiev declared that 'terrorists' (familiar word, isn't it?) are in Lugansk and Donetsk and started shooting over whole population regardless.

UA has the very same capability since USSR days and therefore probably did.

This is just brilliant.

AN-26 shooting, allegedly by rebels, proofs that malaysian boeing was shot by rebels.

By that logic UA did this because it shot down russian civil plane in 2001, admitting it after months.

If you'd follow the story from the very beginning, you'd understand why those "we have Buk" posts were made.

Since the beginning of the conflict UA did everything they can to provoke Russia into crossing border.

Well, almost everything.

There are also claims that UA was really trying to shoot Russian Plane #1 which was flying close to malaysian boeing both in time and space

There are many claims.

Reminds me of 'add "over the Internet" and patent' tactics.

fairly obvious, isn't it?

Less syscalls.

From unswappable kernel memory, yeah.

> kernel.pid_max = 999999

> * - nproc unlimited

1.000.000 pids is 1 mil task_struct's.

On my quite stripped out kernel 14 task_struct's fit into order 3 slab -- 14 objects per 32KB or kernel memory.

1000000 / 14 * 32 * 1024 = 2.18 GB of kernel memory

and that's not even counting other kernel structures!

Note, vm.overcommit_memory is not even mentioned.

How disappointing.

> From spring straight to winter?

That would be Ukraine, where two Russian journalists were killed recently during bombing of Lugansk.

In back then USSR liberal loonies cried that "freedom of choice between 2 or more candidates in elections" is all you need.

I didn't know about "debug" until this post because I used "ignore_loglevel" for years.

Kernel is fun.

Why are you so polite to him?

He doesn't even know about alternative theory of Khatyn's massacre because Wikipedia doesn't say so.

we have good teachers and are learning (from west obviously)

independent = those who tell what's good for current neo-nazi-ish regime

i'd call them what they are: clueless idiots

Navalny thrives on anti-caucasus card to pump Russia into civil war when told to by his western masters.

and some of our liberals are quite severely braindamaged judging by what they tell in public

> Isn't Navalni widely considered/painted as a paid US shill in Russia?

He is. Just as Echo and the rest of our liberal fifth column.

There are whole lot more supplementary rants: http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/search?q=xml

In particular: http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3224334063725870@naggum....

with key words being "Whather what you are really after is foo, bar, or zot, depends on your application.".

His articles on SGML are mandatory reading too.

Several years ago someone posted these links and it opened wonderful world of Lisp to me. Not the language per se (there are many languages) but whole another Universe of how things could be done. I swear I jumped on the chair reading every page of CL standard, how brilliant it is on every level to C. Eventually it led me to rethink attitude to C and Unix in general, core parts of which I despise now.

So here am I returning favor, maybe someone will follow these links too.

Thank you, Erik. Rest in peace.

This link needs to be posted again and again and again.

I'm sure quite a lot of people will easily recognize it. :^)

You're totally wrong about "personal" part.

Speaking of...

  kernel/sysctl.c

  #ifdef CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR
  static int sixty = 60;
  #endif
  
  static int __maybe_unused neg_one = -1;
  
  static int zero;
  static int __maybe_unused one = 1;
  static int __maybe_unused two = 2;
  static int __maybe_unused three = 3;
  static unsigned long one_ul = 1;
  static int one_hundred = 100;
  #ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK
  static int ten_thousand = 10000;
  #endif

Why don't you all "deserves better comment" people send a patch?

Well, as far as kernel is concerned strings aren't a problem. Outside VFS they don't exist. Inside VFS everything is chopped into usually short pathname components which are hashed for dcache consumption. On x86_64 hashing is not byte-by-byte anymore.

Fixing pathetic macro system and type system (if that qualifies at all) would get rid of many many bugs.

Linus is a kid compared to what several other linux-kernel denizens could reply to you.

Though, I agree, sometimes there is an excessive amounts of public humiliation on the list.
