the main reason why sched_ext is taking off is that EEVDF and CFS before it are -general- cpu schedulers, so while they work well for most tasks, they don't work as well as they could in certain situations like heavy server loads, low-latency loads (like multimedia production and gaming), or security sensitive loads. These schedulers are built and or specifically tunable to these types of loads, such as scx_lavd, scx_bpfland, and scx_cosmos. They each approach things differently, such as using core compaction, sharing or unsharing per core task queues, being way more cache context aware, keeping hot cores hot, etc. And the perf boost in these specific contexts is very real. Heck, Meta started using scx_lavd for better task load balencing over EEVDF on their servers.

There are plenty of workplaces that require a more secure development environment. Centralizing the dev environment without having to go full PC over IP would be a very cost friendly way to manage this.

tab groups are not equivalent to containers.

its more like Vivaldi's tab stacks or FF's Tree Tabs. With groups there are no inherent additional security mechanisms in place to prevent cross-group contamination/access. i.e., two different tab groups can access the same site data.

containers however are completely isolated from each other. i.e., two different containers have completely different sets of site data.

an indictment that so many people who should know better, still use a tainted and non-benign product.

but wasn't the evaporation of black holes a suggested solution by hawking for information being "lost forever" in a black hole?

i.e., hawking radiation is itself unconfirmed, so its a "solution" for something that remains unproven :|

I still don't understand what they mean by "loss". Why is this even a problem? The information isn't gone, its right -there- in the black hole, which until proven otherwise, is part of the universe.

Until someone can prove the universe cares whether the info is in a black hole or not, its not really a problem is it? If anything the universe usually shows it doesn't care what we humans think, its going to do its own thing, regardless: i.e., weak nuclear force and "symmetries"

ultimately i guess it is about how/if deno caches its imports. with node.js/npm you have the exact same problems, just the source & sink occur at different places (package installation)

news 'ideally' has nothing to do with 'want' it is about the latest new information. It is not supposed to be entertaining, it is supposed to transfer information. Again, those are ideals, and reality of human behavior rarely meets them.
