>"comfort is not necessary" way of thinking is inexplicable
It is very easy to understand when you realize that lots of Linux devs aren't making a product for a customer, or even for a user. Free / open source devs are often motivated by reasons such as implementing something they need to use themselves or just working on something because they find it enjoyable. These aren't the same incentives that a company making a product it wants to sell has, the guy making something for himself or doing it for fun doesn't have any customers for his work and doesn't have much of a reason to care about any users who get his work for free. After all, anyone who doesn't like it can contribute improvements and changes too, right?

Even the Linux projects that receive some sort of funding don't really make a product to sell in the same way MS used to make Windows.

i noticed, today, that there are currently 363 x86 syscalls listed in musl libc: https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/arch/x86_64/bits/syscall.h.in

i thought that this would make for a really good "syscall of the day" discussion (nevermind the fact that it's already the 9th)
for today, in order to catch us up, as well as maybe foster a bit more discussion and interest, we'll actually start with 7 syscalls. these are:
#define __NR_read                 0
#define __NR_write 1
#define __NR_open 2
#define __NR_close 3
#define __NR_stat 4
#define __NR_fstat 5
#define __NR_lstat 6

luckily for us, these are all pretty similar, so it really works out quite nicely. these are your classic, day one syscalls that pretty much every programmer ought to know about, even if they don't care to delve too deeply into the internals of the system.

ITT, feel free to discuss these syscalls, syscalls in general, file io, and other related topics

you could think about it the other way. Are there jobs where I get top play around with syscalls while making a 6-figure salary? Yeah, there's plenty of those.
>>
>>107821899
>I believe the real reason Win32 has this option in the first place is because in the underlying NT API, there is no syscall to "delete" a file. You just open it with DELETE access, and specify OBJ_DELETE_ON_CLOSE in the OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES structure, and then just close the handle. Then the file disappears.
Nevermind, I just hallucinated all that. Turns out I'm no better than a LLM. There is NtDeleteFile, I just didn't know about its existence until just now.

>>
>>107821899
it is nice that you don't have to worry about finding a valid new filename with this flag.
also it sucks in general that processes assume that files always have to be linked. I frequently delete the folder I have a shell opened in as cwd and a program I run fails in a perplexing way. for files it's less of a problem because I guess most programs get and keep the file path in a variable very early on.
>>107821309
only if it needs to be seekable. most unix programs seem to work with streams well, the bigger problem is the retarded ones where they parse the filename extension for its processing logic, which this wouldn't fix
>>
>>107821574
filepaths are useful because they let you define a variable length number of them as args whereas 6<file is limited by fd count. it's maybe less work done too if the files are lazily opened by the callee.

1. I have an 8bitdo ultimate 2c and while it feels premium, the wings aren't flared enough so it hurts my shoulders. I'm considering replacing it for a gamesir nova lite, does somebody have experience with both or can measure the angle of the wings to know if it would hurt me less?

2. Good tablet stands recommendations?
