I don't think this 30-second timeout is a bug in FreeBSD or in rc. You may want your server to wait for the network to become available. Ubuntu Server has the same "waiting for network" timeout: http://askubuntu.co

That section says "inspiration from". Seems different from "based on". How is your project different from purecss?

I've heard of Russian ICBM story, but I haven't heard of this part before: > the Russians spiked the price at the last minute What's the source for this part?

Unfortunately, no. Currently there are no complete and ready to use open source eNodeB implementations. SDR hardware - UmTRX - should handle LTE. Fabrice Bellard's (closed source) LTE implementation was (preliminary) tested with UmTRX.

I think Armin didn't go into isolation levels details because he didn't see a meaningful distinction in the context of emulating upsert.

"Asking to redo the transaction" pushes complexity into the client. Armin did mention that: "Unfortunately this problem does not go away if you tell the client to solve it."

When I wrote "replacement", I didn't mean that all sysv scripts must be replaced. Postfix sysv script works fine with upstart, doesn't it?

by ash 13y ago
Upstart was created before systemd. Edit: Upstart was a great sysvinit replacement, at least during those years before systemd appeared.

He could have been trialed in absentia, get death penalty and then get killed by a drone. I don't know if this scenario was even possible, let alone probable.
