Having followed most of the comments on both these threads, I don't think it's fair to characterize Zed's position as saying "epoll is always bad". I think a better characterization would be: "epoll is not automagically better under every i

HTML/CSS is portable across all browsers, but you aren't guaranteed absolute control over the final rendering. This is by design, and there are a lot of good reasons for it. Most of these abstraction layers sacrifice all of that so you ca
