   i didn't have the need to use pgbouncer yet, so i never really figured out its cons. (nearly) no prepared statements is a big down, but if you design your db with functions (i.e. you only do "select get_my_data();"), it fortunately doesn't

   yes, that's possible in a pure referential transparent language (strict or lazy is not the point).

   remember that we are talking windows here. which libraries do you have to patch for firefox (i.e. those they do not ship and which are not in the core win os)?

    i remember reading something i guess in the grsec forums about it (by "paxteam" afair). i cannot find it right now, care to send a link? the only thing i found is this post[1], which gives a very nice introduction to smap/smep. [1]: https:

    i guess (s)he meant: why not implement that standard in firefox now. that would remove the lock-in to ie as well. (it might not be possible because of patents, etc. but the government should -of course- be able to fund it.)

    that's a good article. small tools that do one thing well can also be optimized pretty nicely. unix is a nice philosophy indeed.

    oh. and erlang is not event-loop based. it has preemptive multitasking for its threads. so it is not as necessary in erlang than it is in node.

    why? what about the usecase i presented? mysql-workbench is no cli app. still, i'd like it to support multi-hop. and it should do so without me configuring it separately. edit: to make this more clear. of course a heavily sandboxed app migh

    "having dependencies that have to be compiled increases the risk of something going wrong". come on. reimplementing crypto is way worse. re .ssh/config: application level libraries might need it as well. one of the many grieves i have about

    i am familiar with erlangs ports. why shouldn't the same work for node? (and btw: cryptography might take a big computational chunk. it's hard to write cpu-intensive stuff in node's callback style. but i guess the person(s) doing it will so

    ssh is pretty hard to do right. i will never get, why platforms have to stay "pure"... and implement everything on earth another time within their platform instead of calling reasonable external c-code (or anything else for that matter). i

    i'm not sure i get your point about the similarity to (early) office data formats. these are very badly supported now. that's a stark contrast to your assertion that psd is backwards and forwards compatible to a very large degree. care to e

    i don't really see why this might in any way be significant. (and why should customers of esx be worried now? it's not that they employ security-by-obscurity, or do they :D)

    money quote (at the end of the article): "So my title is misleading. I don’t think C is a functional language. But it’s an awful lot of fun (and sometimes very useful) to use C’s functional subset."

    while i think that the kernel development is fundamentally flawed (just one example: see obscuring of security issues) not only but also because of linus. its governance has some strength. you will not find such horrible code in linux as in

    well. the euro is way more worthy than the us $. that seems a little off. (10000$/2month still seems like a good salary... for something resembling vaporware for now.)
