Your router is a computer much like any other in your dwelling. It's probably running GNU/Linux. Just like any other computer, it can be exploited if vulnerabilities are found and in 10 years it's likely some have been found.

Why would you not periodically check the value between calls to read() or select()? Just make sure it's non-blocking or with a relatively short timeout.

My neighborhood (Bryant Woods in Columbia, MD) is honestly perfect in this regard. It's filled with walking trails and playgrounds. Lots of green space. The roads are also twisty & turny. They're difficult to drive fast on.

Jim Rouse thought it would be the shopping mall and designed my city of residence (Columbia, MD) with the shopping mall at its center. It was a decent bet for 1967.

I let my kids roam free here in the US (Columbia, MD), but the reality is that they don't want to because there are no other kids outside to play with.

Thank you! Considering this further... I think Lua might be a good match for this idea. Everything it can do can be pretty easily mapped to SQLite queries and its type system is pretty close to the limited set of types offered by SQLite.

This will probably get buried, but I'm wondering: Has any scripting language attempted to use SQLite as its memory model? You get GC, memory safety, atomicity guarantees, core dump functionality, and rich data structures for free. If c

I'm inclined to agree, but it depends on the context. This kind of 'management' is suitable for R&D. It's additionally suitable for any company in which software is a means to an end rather than the end itself. A tex
