Incorrect translation, Allahu Akbar means “the god is the greatest”
Allah is not a name that came with Islam but existed before, it just means deity. the Al prefix is the definite singular form. It just says one thing: god is a singleton and nothing is above it.
Sorry to disagree, but no, they are not dozens of different languages. The challenge with Arabic is that it has a rather large vocabulary, and different regions use slightly different vocabularies.
That being said, Darija, or rather North African Arabic is a messy mix of Arabic and Tamazight. Which can be difficult for Middle East Arabic speakers to understand.
For reference, I speak Darija and understand both classical and modern Arabic. It would take me a few days to adapt my speech to other regional variations of arabic.
`gen_server` is an abstraction over the a client sending a `request` that a server services to produce a `response` to be sent to the client.
The `gen_server` implementation takes care of things like timeouts, servers terminating before a response is produced as well as maintaining the server state.
The most dangerous thing about Capitalism is imho its universal equivalence, its ability to make us covert everything into a monetary value.
In other words, it’s just like a programming language where everything can be implicitly converted to a given top type.
In the progress we certainly made over the last century or so, we certainly also lost other things whose value is not representable in our modern value system.
Yes, but you don’t end up with different glyphs. Arabic script has letter shaping, that means a letter can have up to 4 shapes based on its position within the word. If you chop off the last letter, the previous one which used to have a “middle” position shape suddenly changes into “terminal” position shape.
The underlying problem is lack of isolation, and this is an area where the Erlang process model shines: processes are fully isolated and you can send a signal externally to terminate any process you want.
No global GC. Each erlang process does its own GC, and the GC only happens when the process runs out of space (ie. the heap and stack meet).
You can for example configure a process to have enough initial memory so as not to ever run into GC, this is especially useful if you have a process that does a specific task before terminating. Once terminated the entire process memory is reclaimed.
Vala is very much used among other things by Frida.
I have been involved with Vala in it’s early day and some hardcore GObject/C users never quite liked the C code that Vala generated although it was perfectly valid and exposed a very clean C header to interface with it.
I think that Vala is a really great tool for building applications that make use of Glib/GObject. For example Gtk applications, but also GStreamer and DBus applications.
It's quite unfortunate that this article mixes up what's necessary for podman quadlets with coreOS concepts.
With quadlets, the only thing required is to drop a `.container` file in the right place and you end up with a container properly supervised by `systemd`. And this of course also supports per-user rootless containers as described in [1].
