You do realize you're asking me to remember specific names from threads that descended into complete flamewars from around a decade ago, right? And I...

[Luke_Wolf]

That's both splitting hairs and not what anyone is claiming. What the Devs claimed is that the X11 architecture was garbage in quite the laundry list...

[Luke_Wolf]

Yeah, I'm sure. Basically the entire ecosystem of Linux has gotten rewritten in preparation for Wayland so it would be no surprise if the performance...

[Luke_Wolf]

Like I said... not digging through years of forum posts, but the Wayland/Xorg guys that were here... way back when Wayland was originally announced were...

[Luke_Wolf]

I'm not going to dig through years of forum posts to prove the point, but yes quite a few times around the time when Wayland was originally announced,...

[Luke_Wolf]

It's very widespread compared to Dx12. Anyone who does a significant amount of gaming has figured out by now that DX12 is generally slower than DX11 whereas...

[Luke_Wolf]

I'm pretty sure that the answer boils down to an old shitty practice called "vendoring". because linking to external code in C/C++ was difficult...

[Luke_Wolf]

Do you even git submodule?...

[Luke_Wolf]

I mean... if you've got that problem you really ought to break up the repo into multiple projects at that point. And no I think Monorepos are super d...

[Luke_Wolf]

Would it? It's a stupid talking point not an actual reason.

The truth is that there is only really one implementation or effectively one...

Someone hasn't read any of the writeups on it. https://www.securityweek.com/bleedin...-click-attacks...

[Luke_Wolf]

You might want to look into a mirror. You're making an ass of yourself trying to decry the fact that I ripped off all the shitty wrapping paper that your...

[Luke_Wolf]

Minix, QNX, Singularity, (in the future) Redox... The list can go for quite some time. The L4 kernels are hardly the only entry in the market and they're...

[Luke_Wolf]

Hardly, the difference is that seL4 makes a very specific claim that having complete code coverage of testing makes them magically more secure and reliable...

[Luke_Wolf]

Ah yes because it's not as if a Network Protocol Stack contains information that would potentially be bad to have leaked or anything, which is what Bleeding...

[Luke_Wolf]

I guess? But that's a driver bug that seL4 having complete test coverage wouldn't have protected against either. Microkernel architecture in general could...

[Luke_Wolf]

Come to think of it... when was the last time there was actually a significant Linux kernel exploit rather than a hardware exploit or a userspace exp...

[Luke_Wolf]

Congratulations on being scooped up by marketing. No It's literally just as I said. Oh boy you have 100% code coverage on your tests which...

[Luke_Wolf]

Here let me translate that for you:


Doesn't sound so impressive now does it?

While TDD is something we should all strive...
