They can still work, with a few changes and worse performance. The clock is not used to say that the time is exactly the same on all nodes, it is used to guarantee that if two events have timestamps whose difference is larger than some thre

Salvatore is an employee of Redis Labs since 2015. AFAIK he still owns Redis itself personally, which is a very good thing. That doesn't mean Redis Labs is the only Redis provider you should consider though. For instance, OpenRedis has

They don't get to choose. They don't own the copyright on Redis, Salvatore does. He is their employee now but if they try to pull something like this I suspect he won't be for long.

I won't argue against you here, I like microkernel desing à la QNX, especially with synchronous message passing (MsgSend), and I used to run Minix3 as my main OS some years ago. It relies on a completely different scheduler model thoug

If you're going to argue this then I agree with tptacek, you must also think it's an architectural problem that filesystems cannot all be implemented over FUSE with performance equivalent to their kernel versions. Yes, TUN is not

The only reason for it to be in the kernel is performance. There are userspace implementations already, like on Windows and macOS.

Similarly, Haskell would be: add = (+) f = add 1 f 2 This kind of syntax is great for small code samples or to play in a CLI, but in larger programs more traditional (verbose) syntax works better for me. YMMV.
