in order to let gcc use data structures in MS's headers and have somewhat source compatible builds
This is what I fear. I'm just not certain whose source will be "leaking" into whose kernel. Or why, if Linux devs (Linus) have decided up to this point _not_ to adopt a standard C construct, it is now considered to be a good idea.
Are we developing Linux using the Cut-N-Paste culture of Stack Overflow?
As a step toward application portability between Microsoft apps and Linux systems, maybe. But that seems to be more at the library level. But who out there is suggesting that we need to splice Microsoft stuff (drivers, etc.) directly into the Linux kernel?
On the other hand, it could help in porting systemd to Windows.
Imagine Wal mart and Amazon setting card precedence.
Or Costco.
far too large for manual operation
As are the sails on many large recreational yachts. Power furling systems are quite common.
It makes me wonder how easily the crew can reduce sail area during a storm
"The crew" (skipper) just pushes a button. From there, it's how fast the hydraulics can work.
those ports will need to be discontinued
Alas, poor Debian. I knew him
why don't we require huge buffer zones around an airport?
It's cheap land. But often not owned by the port authority that builds the airport. If the PA had to acquire buffer zones, nothing would ever get built. So the land remains in private hands. And the uses it is put to are often low rent. Like warehouses, scrap metal yards, dive bars, etc.
Reminds me of the trouble ticket/mechanics responses that made such humorous reading:
Flight crew: Engine No. 1 is missing.
Maintenance: Found Engine No. 1 on the left wing where it's supposed to be.
Seriously, "lost an engine" can mean so many different things.
To paraphrase: Bureaucrats conduct meetings both because they appear to be busy when they are meeting
I've worked on projects where maybe 5 people were actually contributed to the effort. But 100 people would show up for progress meetings. And those 95 people would have no input other than not liking the font I had used on my presentation.
ADHD people don't like making eye contact? No problem, boss. You can have that camera on your laptop staring at you all day.
It arrived in Baltimore carrying Renault vehicles
Oh boy! The Deux Chevauxs have arrived.
They could turn that into a profit center. Much like the Texas civil courts have done.
Nah. I walk in to Home Depot, don't find what I want and just walk out the exit door. No problems. Sometimes I even walk out the entrance door.
It's nice to live in a town without homeless bums.
Presumably, the customers of Nexperia (auto makers) have contracts for the delivery of product. Now the company decides not to honor those contracts. What do you expect the country having jurisdiction over that company and those contracts to do?
