I am recently studying hpc configs and the docs I follow most (amd,suse) recommends blocking thp by default which I was able to replicate performance impact myself as well, on the otherside standard hugepages brings lot of advantage, I do setup during kernel boot but didnt test properly, currently using 4GB. If you really wanna bypass page latency I recommend buying a cheap persistence memory, not all filesystems support yet , (ext4 and xfs ?) but with -o dax mount option you dont use pages, if data is temporary tmpfs with hugepages as far as I can see quite common usage but I also found kernel memblock argument by simulating non-existent persistent memory and mounting a filesystem with dax brings similar performance or even faster most of my cases yet still you wanna script each time boot mkfs/mount

I understand your point and you are completely right, but on their perspective your experience from multiple aspects of codebase is still valuable contribution and making a difference isnt it.

"showing porn to people against their consent is a form of sexual abuse" is more descriptive then your quotes I believe, at least this kind of precautions adds an alarm/notification options between kids in social media and twisted adults

My gf not good with computers yet still she is on fedora since about 4 year but she is only using for browsing, she doesnt mind to use work computer (windows) when needed for excel etc... But if she needs one particular win app I would install back without question.

There are plenty of leader election/replication libraries, shouldnt be problem if you pick one and give a shot if you are not confident about your self implementation or just benchmark and see how it goes.

Also amd avx2 machines faster than intel one but the current benchmarks probably didnt have hardware on hand, googles highway numbers also intel based, I wanted to test also, i got machine but having laziest days :)

I dont see someone to have a reason refuse a reliable software solution which would speed up their existing application which could be done just by an software upgrade and reduce their bills at no cost, most benefical I think would be the tunning part for an average user. Its also compliment with many existing architectures today including cloud/container orchestration and the baremetal itself. But probably the key is still community/vendor support and standards , I dont know how it would affect maintainer life

Your list plus cellular aging, my other categories:

os: hpc/highly tuned single purpose oses/unikernel machines will become more dominant

filesystem: cxl on the horizon dax supported systems will become dominant then userspace+vendor shipped software will take over if they can catch up a common standard (intel already does good job)

fantasy: hardware cooling: I believe we have a lot of room on having control on the heat, wanted to check alternative applications especially vacuum

Astrospace is also planning mobile broadband trough the satellites, their target audience also rural areas, I wonder they will support ocean as well, if so that would help competition.

I wonder if with bitpacking you can achieve even higher ratio, considering each temp has 3 digit and temp range 51.2 to -51.2 if reasonable range 1 for signature 9 temp bit could store 3 temp in an integer. Deltas might consume less range maybe but might need extra bit tweak, afaik fastpfor also does similar run with simd , but what i understand time is not your main concern.

Edit: just read the 0.04-0.02 range , if I understand right only putting 1 real temp and then deltas could fit 12 first int and 16 temp following ints? Quick napkin math , could be wrong:)
