How to be sure that you aware of all such cases? How to reduce mutable state of Operating System and make it as explicit as possible? Let's dig in. 0:00 Introduction 1:16 Problems of undesired state 5:30 Is Stateless OS possible? What problems? 7:33 Immutable OS is a first part of solution 10:20 Ideal workflow 12:05 Completing the first solution 14:40 Second part of the solution: User state 17:05 Realistic workflow 18:16 Making sure that all state is under control 20:46 Possible state types 26:45 Conclusion Notes: https://gist.github.com/abcdw/343ce43004c8a435c5ac603ba081f307 rde repository: https://github.com/abcdw/rde Tue, 20 Oct 2026 14:41:14 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://diode.zone https://diode.zone/lazy-static/avatars/61b689b7-84d5-43c7-9fa8-e63a7fd1d952.png https://diode.zone/videos/watch/05f5537e-ffe1-4769-a3ff-ebcc21ab9868 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://diode.zone/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
