Linux founder Linus Torvalds, today at the KubeCon + CloudNative + Open Source Summit China conference, warned attendees that managing software is about to become a lot more challenging, largely because of two hardware issues that are beyond the control of DevOps teams....
>1) Steady Stream of Security Patches is PITA for the Kernel
>2) Code reoptimization in the light of Moore’s Law death
Translation: the Day of the Flush is coming, when throwing more pajeets at a problem and waiting for hardware to catch up is no longer a viable strategy.
James Gray
>Short of disabling hyperthreading altogether to eliminate reliance on speculative execution
Linux is getting constantly bigger and more resource intensive. Soon they will drop 32-bit architectures. System D is expanding in scope too. Meanwhile they make the base system a bit smaller with better code in OpenBSD.
OpenBSD has shit performance. I'd rather have intelligent programmers maneuver around issues while still delivering a product rather than just throwing your hands up and quitting.
Eli Barnes
No, I need a source for all your lies. If you fail to provide them you will forever remain a bsdcuck.
Xavier Hernandez
Enjoy your rooted system kiddo. All it takes on Linux is one JavaScript ad.
Adam Flores
I was told by somebody intimately involved. 32-bit will be dropped from the kernel soon. You can just wait for it to happen, it’ll happen very very soon now.
Camden Evans
Wow I am so scared.
David Walker
>2) Code reoptimization in the light of Moore’s Law death Thank Christ the Redeemer. This shit has gone on long enough.
Ryder Ortiz
Reminder: Transmeta dude, know shit
Liam Cooper
I was told by Theo himself that he will be including a cryptominer on every install.
Samuel Roberts
Oh fantastic, I can't wait for everyone to sweat their asses rewriting the same code over and over ad nauseam. What a complete waste of time.
Dylan Cooper
>OpenBSD has shit performance. soon linux will too. there is no workaround to hyperthreading being a mess of a jew scheme to pump cpu speed knowingly omitting security.
Juan Brooks

Henry Johnson
this; it's because linus HATES bug fixes and clean ups if they break something used by someone
Andrew Green
Well... guess the pajeet oriented programming paradigm is dead.
Can we go back to manage memory manually again?
Gavin Robinson
A good evidence of that is how he still allows apps to map their own page 0 (which is a security-risk), just because WINE needs it.
>CPUs reaching 16 cores for consumers >Programs still using whole overload in first core When will this problem be solved and what is stopping them mitigating to different cores?
Parker Long
have you ever tried to write parallel code? it's extremely painful
Luis Lewis
>When will this problem be solved and what is stopping them mitigating to different cores? not all code works in parallel and that will never change no matter what you do
Justin Edwards
luckily an invisible fairy who i'll never meet writes that code, so i don't have to worry about it
Anthony Hughes
consumers usually just think "just split it between the cores it's so simple" but in a lot of cases it's like trying to do all the steps of baking a cake at the same time. if you have 16 people working together you still need to do all of the steps of baking a cake in order, you can't have the cake baking the same time it's being iced the same time the flour is being made etc. sometimes there are ways to do steps at the same time but it often requires quite substantial methodology changes and is very far from being straightforward.

Aren't millionaires in silicon valley supposed to be super intelligent who write code in their sleep?
Zachary Sullivan
Nigga just get each person to bake 1/16th of the cake each it's that simple.
Logan King
It doesnt matter how intelligent you are like he says, nine women can't deliver a baby in a month some problems are parallel, some problems are simpler if serial but can go parallel at a complexity cost, some problems are serial ALOT of siginficant problems are serial

is this... HyperThreading (TM)?
Aaron Harris
super intelligent coders aren't really working in silicon valley on consumer software, they tend to work for places like trading firms or on research. nowadays people don't prioritize well written code and it's one of the reasons the hardware plateau is going to be painful. people just don't write very good code anymore, they got used to hardware making up for them and instead just kept bloating with features. most code is pretty low quality and very few people understand optimization except in special cases.
Blake Evans
I was scared pajeetcode was going to be here indefinitely, but this hardware plateau, be it temporarily or permanently, might solve the problem
