>Remember that a nation works best when there is a shared culture and a shared language - these things being inseparable - which encourage unity and community.

Which nations are these? Looking at the current major world economies:

- US: Federal. Many immigrant communities. English and Spanish.

- China: Two major languages, two SARs, each with another official language. "Chinese Tapei" with Hokkien. Regional cultures I'm not familiar with.

- EU: 24 languages, made up of multiple countries many of which have multiple official or minority languages.

- Japan: Shared culture and language, stagnant economy.

- India: Barely half of the country speak the most common language.

I've done builds in /dev/shm/ on Xeon and Threadripper with only a trivial speed-up.

Which would explain why '-j' on a big codebase tends to trigger my OOM killer.
