Yeah, cheap money never goes searching for yield.

Ok, ok. I won't make anymore jokes about the GIL.

It's not unfair to say that python doesn't do multithreading either.

Yeah, I was reading "that" thread from last July. It was depressing that pf hasn't really moved forward since 2009.

I'd like to see uplift of the network stack. In particular, IPSEC availability by default (seriously, I don't want to compile a custom kernel to set up a VPN), and an updated PF from upstream.

The obvious solution to Britain's squirrel woes is therefore to introduce hawks, eagles and coyotes, no? (My services as a wildlife consultant are available to HR Environment Agency at any time for a nominal fee.)

"With its hotel, offices, restaurants, apartments and observation deck, it is also an all-in-one mixed-use development, built on a busy transit hub. The point is that something better was possible in Lower Manhattan." What, exactl

Say there's a failure that forces you to bail into an emergency session where you can't mount /usr/local (which is where bash is typically installed on FreeBSD). All of a sudden, you don't have a shell. This is a re

I've been doing isolated, per-service environments that can be shipped around using jails on FreeBSD for a looooong time.

Just don't change root's shell to something like bash. BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN.

At some point, after basic needs are met, every working person is forced to answer the following question with respect to the toll work takes on his or her family: is it worth it? It takes courage to say "no" and make a clean cut.
