There was a linux patchset a long time ago (called kevent) which was pretty much a kqueue clone. There was a lot of discussion but finally those who opposed won. IIRC, the idea of fitting all what kqueue does (a lot) in a single syscall wit

Yeah, these subvolumes are going to have scalability issues compared with cleanly designed subvolumes such as in ZFS. But I wouldn't describe them as a hack - it's a rather interesting feature that not other filesystem has explore

tl;dr XFS will support using filesystem images as if they were directories, kind of like an "internal loop", which will allow (with the help of copy-on-write data, which they support in recent versions) having subvolumes/sna

>the web entirely runs on C++ because all browsers are written in C++. Not entirely true - Firefox is rewriting some components in Rust. They already included the first Rust code in Firefox 48, and Firefox 53 will require Rust to compile

Solaris died a long time ago, regardless of what roadmaps say. It died the day Oracle acquired it. Even if Oracle invested heavily in Solaris, it's hard to imagine how they could match Linux long term. Solaris had opportunity to compet

That's the only thing about bitcoin that actually interests me, how easy is to make payments cutting and pasting some text. But everything else surrounding bitcoin, I don't find it useful at all. I just want/need something li

The problem is not the browser. The problem is that modern web pages use a lot of functionality, use a lot of JS libraries and thus require that "full-fledged programming environment". A browser that does not implement it will jus

It puts all the blame on Mt. Gox, assuming that their lack of good management is to blame. But I still see the lack of reversibility of transactions (one of bitcoin's strengths) as the major problem here. We live in civilized in a worl

Basically, this is a ZFS fork, forced by the stupidity of Oracle. The whole issue is that Oracle has stopped publishing the source code of new ZFS versions for some years already: there are new ZFS "versions" (pool versions from v

But let's just take the migration away from CVS as an example. The current view on the topic is that no existing VCS can replace CVS and keep some of the properties that CVS has. Therefore, if we were to switch away from CVS, a bunch

The "temporarily hung interface" is definitively one of the worst things about Firefox. Fortunately they recently set up a project dedicated to fix it, next releases will probably behave much better. A few links for those interest
