The US sanctions regime on Venezuela is not, at all, the reason why there are problems. there are plenty of other buyers for Venezuelan oil.

The reason there are problems is because of government corruption that is combined with a planned economy.

I wonder when the tankies are going to admit that Venezuela is an absolute failure:

"Venezuelan gangs are no longer recruiting youths in some poor areas by offering them easy money to buy clothes or the latest cell phones. Instead, they are offering food baskets.

And on the streets, walking around with a bag of groceries can attract more thieves than a full wallet."

@joeyh

it would be fairly easy to do a hardware CLFLUSH on every context switch.

performance could be retained by windowing the caches (something like what SPARC does with registers).

but this isn't something that is a simple patch to the CPU design, we will probably have to wait for the next couple of microarchs before this is done

#pkgconf 1.5 will add real support for cross-compiling and multi-arch

Linux is only free if your time has no value.

@Elizafox domUs can get their own event channels by binding to xenstore and transfer whatever they wish over them
