The conundrum is that the high-level customer-facing stuff wouldn't be possible without the low-level behind-the-scenes work that was done on protocols and kernels.

Some DNS clients ignore the TTL, or have their own minimums. One of the worst offenders, ironically, is Microsoft's own Windows XP which is notorious for having a minimum TTL of 10 minutes, forcing people away from DNS as a means of fa

It also gives police no leeway when it comes to enforcing unfair laws. Instead, even the most empathetic and genuinely helpful cop will have to enforce it to the letter.

10 bits per channel is nothing new, but requires specific openGL application + driver + video card support, so you don't get access to it in standard photo viewing/editing apps. Are you sure the banding you are seeing isn't j

You'll notice the current options aren't great. Virtualbox is OK for casual/desktop use only. Qemu doesn't support hardware virt. The best hope for the future is Bhyve but it is nowhere near production-ready.

This isn't what you wanted to hear, but it gets you really close: Install ubuntu, lxc, virt-manager gui, and zfsonlinux.

Linux has had containers for ages. Docker has simply made them easier to use as a service. You should be asking why Solaris/BSD never had something as useful as docker despite having zones/jails. And linux supports overlay files

The problem is queueing at the worker end and not the proxy side. Using a fair queueing system (such as Nginx HttpUpstreamFairModule) can limit the number of concurrent requests sent to workers so they don't get overloaded. It will make re

Incidentally, some of these things work on Ubuntu: superpages, zfs, and clang. & I wouldn't call Journalled Softupdates an advantage, more of a catch-up to the various journalled filesystems supported by Linux.

The latest weekend-long Rails Camp to be held here in Australia (in 2 weeks time) sold out within minutes, as it always has. As a counterpoint, many people who attend spend their time at camp not doing Rails stuff.

I propose a new type of grid with electronic signaling of spot prices. For heavy duty appliances (eg. air conditioning, water heating) the consumer pre-programs it with a desired average cost and a maximum price per kWh. Then as demand and
