So sánh tên lửa **Storm Shadow** vs **Crossbow**: Crossbow là "sát thủ một chiều" kinh tế, tập trung số lượng lớn cho đòn đánh sâu. Storm Shadow là "ông lớn" lâu năm với thiết kế tinh xảo, chính xác cao cấp. Mèo nào cắn mỉu nào? 🐱💥 #StormShadow #Crossbow #TenLua #Missiles #CongNghe #QuanSu #MilitaryTech

Ethereal crossbow is a ranged weapon used by elves battling the minions of D'Sparil. Good for delivering damage to single foe or group of up to three on its own, but even more flexible when powered with chants from Tome of Power.

Inspiration - "Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders" videogame.

#illumos #omnios is absolutely incredible. The system is very well designed IMO, I had already experienced the more cohesively designed #BSD but here it feels a bit *more* (although quite similar in some aspects to #freebsd of course).

Linux feels like a duct-taped amalgamation of random ideas, don't get me wrong I love Linux and all it represents, but it's a system that has been grown in any direction.

With Illumos instead it feels like you have orthogonal powerful building blocks you can compose into something greater than the sum of its parts. #zfs #dtrace #zones #crossbow it all works beautifully, both on their own and together.

After seeing how virtualized networking can be done in solaris, the docker networking stack feels so sad in comparison.

So far I'm very impressed.

Don’t ask why I thought grappling hooks should go with fiber art materials. I think I had logic there [ (x) doubt ] but I cannot remember what it could possibly be.
