Gentoo users would be really mad about this if they weren’t still building their web browsers and could get online
Damn you qtwebengine!
It do be like that 😔…
And as soon as that’s working; they’ll break something else
Why does this option without specifying a number of threads even exist? It might as well be footgun mode.
I’m pretty sure it’s “run as many threads as there are cores” mode, though if you’re running it in a terminal I always find it best to use nproc-1 or -2 so the machine actually stays usable.
My man pages specify it’s as many as possible limited only to the number of jobs.
Oof, that might as well be a fork bomb then
I don’t think I’ve ever used
-jwithout specifying as many cores as I have, so it sounds completely reasonable.
One of Perl’s design principles was the Robustness principle, though it probably wasn’t known by that name at the time. (The name came about around the same time Perl was becoming a thing, something something zeitgeist something.)
Perl can be locked down and made to complain (with at least a couple of levels of pedantry) when things are wrong, but unlike most other languages, it doesn’t do so by default.
probably TECO, too
8
-j 8
Those are rookie numbers!
It is driving me crazy that I have no idea what this means.
nice make -j $(nproc)Nah you can have x3 load per core without problem. The real problem is when you haven’t got enough ram xD
