That's not "how can I avoid bugs", which the halting problem appears to fundamentally prove is impossible in the general case (most programs can not be have their behaviour proven one way or the other). "How can I avoid this bug" or more valuably "How can I avoid this class of bug" is exactly the sort of that leads sensibly to the answer "write in (safe) rust", for several classes of common bug. Answers like "be more careful", "check your work now thoroughly", "have others check your work" and "apply tools to C code" are known to be the c wrong answers for sure. So far you've just said people should think about it. I don't think there's a moderately experienced programmer spice who hasn't thought about it. You seen to suggest that they're are easy answers, when the evidence is that there are no answers at all. If you've nothing concrete to suggest, I'm going to find you're a troll and stop feeding you at this point

What about every other kernel developer? None of them have successfully answered the question "How do I avoid bugs?" except the people who stopped developing code. The idea that anybody can magically avoid writing bugs is utter nonsense. Nobody has managed it. The most reviewed and security reviewed code in the world (e.g. curl) still has bugs found, including security bugs, frequently, even in older code. You're clueless.

If either of those fairy stories was true, there'd be a transparent investigation, potentially a trial. The many publically available videos, and the analysis of the same by well recognised experts, strongly disagrees with your claims. Statements from the executive branch on the subject were full of trivially provable lies.

I also hope that he draws lessons from Douglas Adams, who was very good at realising that telling a story in a book, on radio, on TV or in a movie are fundamentally and each takes work and skill to do well. Many things that work well in a book can't be translated well to screen, or vise versa

How about looking at what the macbook pro market might actually want from a laptop? My list would include: More radio connectivity - built in IoT networks, sub-1ghz wifi, 5g Better mics with more background noise filtering / directivity (though my M4 is already pretty good) Better thermal management (always) That's pretty much it for me
