>In my experience though projects tend to start in a single crate, without great attention to their internal dependency graph, and once compilation time becomes an issue, they have already created a spaghetti dependency graph that is difficult to refactor into smaller crates.

Maybe there should be a lint for not having modules be mutually dependent?

I know this is silly, but I'm curious what you see. I see a man eaten by an elephant.

here the beeswax recreation by the archaeologists that appears in the article: https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/recre...

to me it looks like a guy that went on a dismembering spree? or maybe someone showing us his collection of weird antlers? or a guy attacking wifi signals with a sabre?

I've seen enough. Get the stake and the fire.

How do Linux Devs manage to not accidentally break device support constantly? I imagine this stuff is close to impossible to write automated tests for.

Generally/Ideally things break early in the release cycle, bug reports show up on the mailing lists, and fixes are applied. They are marked with a Fixes tag so as for stable releases to pick them up if relevant.

For basic stuff (as in checking if boards still boot) you have projects like kernelci.org that detect regressions on a huge variety of boards. That said, if you need to support a touchscreen, or say, an uncommon USB device, it's up to you to take care of keeping up with the releases.

To be honest this article seems like a presentation, maybe someone else may find an impact it had as the author wasn't able to

What happened to "we have all the test kits we need"? This is why so many medical experts are screaming for an increase in testing capability.

the truth of the world will out the obvious lie. what else was going to happen?

>The exact ingredients vary from one coffin to the next, but the goo was always made from some of these ingredients

what I understand is that they didn't measure the ingredients, but rather put how much they thought was good

I don’t think it’s arbitrary. Despite being from similar times, burials occurred decades or even centuries apart. The recipe likely evolved based on experimentation and availability of ingredients.

I think the answer is simple: the Advertising Business has very deep pocket and can interfere with such laws.
