It's the size in bytes as the os sees it (and in SMART). And i do know how to use a calculator, thank you.

There is also no benefit to using 1000. Except to hdd makers.

Checked and true. 500107862016 bytes.

Still, ssds are made of n^2 chips.

The mistake is thinking that a 1000 byte file takes up a 1000 bytes on any storage medium. The mistake is thinking that it even matters if a kB means 1000 or 1024 bytes. It only matters for some programmers, and to those 1024 is the number that matters.

Disregarding reality in favor of pedantics is the real mistake.

Maybe Huang should.

You are right in spirit.

It was not sysv to systemD, and it was forced (by making udev not work without it).

Other then nvidia, wayland is still missing some protocols (example: what virtual desktop you want your window to be on). But those protocols are (still) being worked on. And you will always be able to run x11 programs on wayland.

The advantages of wayland are a more direct path to hardware, and trowing away lots of code.

The hardest thing in programming is naming things, off by one errors, and cache invalidation.

No, it's just not viable. Just maintaining the vacuum is hard and takes a lot of energy. Keeping it from imploding onto the high speed train is also very hard.

It does not need experimenting, it is known already.

It is and always was a scam (or just simple stupidity, or both).

The beam is reeeealy wide by the time it gets there. Still a great achivement, though.

Nobody in europe that has an iphone uses imsg as their primary anything. Because Europe is an android dominated market.

The windows store was. Gabe is playing the long game.
