And since then, OpenBSD has developed its own VM subsystem vmm(4), vmd(8), vmctl(8).
Sure, I mean, he was wrong, and I assume he knows he's wrong, and wouldn't say the same thing today. He's not dumb. Just this take is.
I’ll take someone who’s dumb over someone who is smart but rudely and confidently incorrect any day. Modesty, thoughtfulness, and kindness are too-undervalued virtues in our business.
I agree with everybody else who's wondered why this got posted today.
I too wonder why as it’s not news.
That said, I don’t know whether Theo has since “eaten crow” or has otherwise personally evolved.
I would still prefer the opinions of smart rude people over not, but agreed about modesty, thoughtfulness, and kindness.
And even smart people can be wrong. Sometimes a lot.
