It's really no less likely, namespace or not. There are better mechanisms for handling this situation, pidfds for example.

For an extremely simple utility like the 'yes' command that is compiled and distributed as a binary to trillions of installations what metric do you consider more important, size and speed? Or lines of code in the source? Think about this in engineering terms, everything is a tradeoff and it's your job to come up with the best solution.

I'm genuinely curious to hear your argument.

Because you can't imagine a case its needed it must not exist? I also remember being a junior dev who thought they had all the answers.

What advantage is there to storing the high and low bits of the 2 bit depth CHR separately, as mentioned in footnote 2?

Yeah.

"The circuit is extremely complex", sure, to someone with no basic knowledge about circuits. It's a couple of frequency dividers and BCD drivers.

Not to say I'm not impressed; I would never have the patience to see a project like this through.
