Taking the issue at face value, I wonder what Johnny Null’s workaround would be for his (or their) name?

N’ull? Nul-l? \Null? Null? JohnnyN ull?

Here to represent Summit.

Positive development cycle, nice dev, and decent features on Android.

I’ve met my fair share of cockwombles in my time - the public-facing element of some of my jobs and roles have guaranteed that - but I’ve never met anyone truly evil.

I’ve met a dude who was more than pleasant, respectable background, good laugh… who later turned out to be peddling kiddie porn, and got caught a second time after being released from prison so yeah fuck that guy.

I’ve met the one of the nicest guys in the world - fit guy for his age in his late fifties, had a way of connecting with you in the first five minutes and leaving every conversation feel positive, and generally an all round cracking fella… only to get hit with cancer before he was 60. So no, I guess he absolutely did not deserve that.

Unfortunately, there’s more instances of people getting away with real shitty behaviour than there is of satisfying instances of karma biting them in the arse.

Specifically, process niceness - a very basic view is how “nice” a process is at handing over control to the CPU scheduler when asked to.

It’s a similar situation as when your mam (the scheduler) tells you to give up the SNES (the process) because you (the CPU) need to do the homework (another process), the dishwasher (another process) and the bins (another process) - but the SNES is saying “just thirty more seconds bro, and the boss will be done”.

edit: in context, these function keys manually force the niceness value up or down, determining whether the process allows you to finish the boss and give up the CPU at a more appropriate time, or whether the scheduler is like “nah absolutely not, homework, now”.

edit edit: my assumption is that this is a process manager app anyway, else the rest of the above is bollocks
