Then your social media & newsfeeds are buzzing about salted coffee, and your work has mandated salt in the coffee, insisting that it increases productivity, and if you’re not partaking you might fail your next performance review.

Isn't that very much intentional on the part of GCC?

Somewhat. Stallman claims to have tried to make it modular,[0] but also that he wants to avoid "misuse of [the] front ends".[1]

The idea is that you should link the front and back ends, to prevent out-of-process GPL runarounds. But because of that, the mingling of the front and back ends ended up winning out over attempts to stay modular.

No, the boss is asking for more salt. Employees are then replacing sugar with salt and getting bonuses, no matter what the customer reactions are.

And then word gets around that you put salt in coffee instead of sugar, and people stop going to you. Unless you’re the only deli in town.

Your mention of Microservices opened up my mind to additional possibilities. How about we create a microservice for each integer, then deploy 4 billion of them. Send a request to all of them simultaneously. Only one of them will respond with the answer. We still need to decide how to deploy those microservices - one per machine, or multiple per machine?

Could try 1 per IPv4 address? There’s just barely enough!

Besides, the character they built their empire on is in the public domain now.

No he’s not. Disney still owns the trademark on the signature mouse. What’s in the public domain is Steamboat Willy.

The difference is there is still a lot of x86 software written for windows, which you will need x86 emulation to run it through whiskey/crossover on a mac.

And for x86-64 Windows builds, you should be testing using an x86-64 Windows machine, not Rosetta 2

One can find it out with a decompiler and a lots and lots of free time. Compilers are not trivial programs, especially the ones needed to compile operating systems, with the required optimizations, and there are many ways to obfuscate code.

A better approach is to start with a small executable, one that translate hexadecimal numbers to binary, and from that build all the tools to compile a simple C compiler (such as the Tiny C Compiler, which is not very tiny), to compile the optimizing C compiler that can compile operating systems. That is the approach followed by the live-bootstrap project.

That’s what Guix did. All the way back to a 357 byte assembly code blob that turns a hex file into a binary file, and can “compile” itself.
