There is no system where you can get more than a share of what the economy produces currently.
Paid contributions should only ensure that you get a part of that, a bit more if you paid more, less if you paid less.
If workforce/economy halves when pensioners double, you will get 4x less than you "expect".

+1 high speed should only be enabled by multiple redundant safety system being operational. Otherwise, it needs to operate at line of sight speeds.

Yup... stopped working, so I can't browser reddit anymore anywhere where I'm not logged in (work, phone, tablet).

You could easily have explicit RAAI... the compiler just needs to complain until you write all drop(x) explicitly. Maybe an idea for future of Zig.

It would be good to have a hash as part of headers, otherwise this is not an acceptable risk by default.

Regarding Fn even Thinkpad has now changed it so Ctrl is in the corner.

It would probably make sense to disable swapping "code" also for non-GC languages (or at least do it as a last resort).

It's a turbo that muffles the sound (and resulting reduced revs because high RPM was restricted due to cost reasons).

Re:Ideas on modernizing the open-source desktop

That sounds great, but I don't fully agree... IMO a compositor should be able to provide a data structure (unchangeable, mostly or fully opaque) that the app can save/restore across sessions.

That's not a full solution... proper platform would have backward compatibility, so an OS from today will work on hardware released in 5 years.

Then passkeys are a guarantee of account loss, if there is no reasonable way of recovery.
