Isn't Polestar a joint venture with a Chinese company?

Fun fact: German actually has a distinction between these two meanings of the same. "Dasselbe Schiff" would be the ship itself, and no other ship, even if it is the same. "Das gleiche Schiff" is another ship that is the same.

But I think it's better for it to fail from expected behavior vs unexpected behavior. Your storage being full is very transparent and expected, but that a file reaches max size and starts cutting off is unexpected and would surprise a lot of people.

I myself use supercomputers and the log files can get into a lot of GB, and I would hate it if it just cut off at some point.

Well, Linux is also made for servers and super computers, and just imagine it refusing to keep logs because the file's too large

I used to run Debian Testing and it borked my install - never had that problem on e.g. Arch. I feel like because it's not a rolling release as the default but explicitly for developers, it's less stable. But that might just have been bad luck.

Na gut, gegen einen Stromausfall ist kein elektrischer Zug gewappnet...

Honestly, also the latter. If you are using hundreds of thousands of cores for over 100h, every single second counts.

It really depends on your field. I'm doing my master's thesis in HPC, and there, clever programming is really worth it.

It's not an electromagnet, it's a superconducting magnet. And turning it immediately off makes it melt.
