To clarify, the loot boxes in Roblox are game specific. The platform itself just has the catalog where you buy stuff directly

But still, Roblox should do a better job regulating the games on its platform

In the manpage for vfork, Linux in particular

As with fork(2), the child process created by vfork() inherits copies of various of the caller's process attributes (e.g., file descriptors, signal dispositions, and current working directory); the vfork() call differs only in the treatment of the virtual address space, as described above.

so it seems Linux does define the behavior of vfork, but if you rely on it, your code won't be portable to other POSIX systems

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/vfork.2.html

If you're not overcommiting, that fork will fail, because total memory consumption will be 1200 MB which is more than 1GB. That somewhat restricts program design.

Does this accounting apply to vfork as well?

If you actually look at the redis code base the majority of it was written by people who never worked for redis.

Thats a really big deal, how did they legally managed to do the license change? I was under the impression that only works if the original owner is the doing most work

When I personally use chatgpt and friends, I am not seeing any slowdowns or anything, meaning that their servers can handle the loads just fine. So then, why are these companies spending so much building new capacity if the current capacity is enough?

I assume to save on resources, even if your algorithm is not much more taxxing on silicon, maybe the designers at intel and amd just didn't think optimizing split locks was worth it

Aha I saw the paper was published in 2005 and assumed they got the patent at the same time. If they were granted it in 2009 doesn't that means it expires in 2029?

I thought loop-blinn expired a while ago, or is the cubic curves separate from quadratic?

I wonder if dual booting can be used as a middle ground, like have one OS for gaming and other OS for work.

Problem is that only works if the two OSes are different (Windows vs Linux) or else they can just stomp each other

The countries that got invaded by the US fought guerrilla because that is the only thing they could do. It wasn't some deliberate strategy to rope the US in.

And the only reason it worked out for them is that the US wasn't determined to create new states and had very low domestic support to begin with. That's not the case with Russia where this war is clearly a big deal to them.
