That's interesting. Do you have a public source for this handy?

I remember seeing an article [1] proclaiming that more than 50% of Azure's workloads are on Linux, so I'm guessing their hypervisors are running an optimised Linux kernel somewhat.

1: Linux is Most Used OS in Microsoft Azure – over 50 percent of VM cores

Interesting area and well done on the work !

Have you looked at https://perspective.finos.org/ ? It has at least some overlaps and can manage pretty big datasets by levering Arrow in WASM in the browser.

It is not OK that children have access to adult phones and adult Internet.

Apple should fix this by creating a kid mode, where the user can only contact people approved by parents and visit sites approved by parents or conforming to kid safety requirements. In this case the children will be perfectly safe.

Why Apple doesn't do it? I guess because it is unprofitable, it requires major investments and doesn't promise any returns.

Kids must be banned from the Internet completely instead of trying to patch different issues here and there.

This exists already as part of Family Sharing.

You can do everything you said when you manage your kids accounts (manage contacts, whitelist internet websites, define appropriate content ratings and so on.

perhaps off-topic, but where does the -gate suffix come from? It seems it can be replaced by "troubles".

Gamer troubles. Sticker troubles. But what does -gate even mean?

Your experience does not match mine as a manager. At any given moment a manager worth his/her pay is acutely aware who does what they said they'd do, who is capable of more than others, who solves more problems, who causes less fallout, who deserves that promo and raise and so on. There are always one or two people out of a dozen who, if they were to disengage, would doom the productivity of the team. So you want to keep your A players happy. The rest, you divide into two buckets essentially: B players aspiring to be A players, and everybody else. You keep the former happy. You don't really care about the latter and give them whatever is the default they'd normally get.

A lot of A players suck at negotiations, IMO. If they didn't, their career would advance much faster. It's much easier to negotiate if you have the goods, and very few people have the goods.

So you are basically in agreement with the gp by saying that your A players get shortchanged because they suck at negotiating...

It is a great tool !

Only issue with it is that the source code (of the front-end) is quite hairy to understand and modify. I tried to add support for Github Enterprise (https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/issues/473) and was quite lost.
