It is my experience that this is true. However, it is probably smart to list some minimal prices so people that are in different ballparks can adjust.

FreeBSD admins are hard to come by. Same with software; try getting something hip running on FreeBSD these days. Even better, try getting a support contract on it, it will not be trivial. However, the quality of the sysadmins that prefer Fr

You missed the point of the note. The point was to have the kernel balance what is on disk and what is in memory. Varnish (w/MSE) still relies on the kernel for this. However, as you cannot atomically write a whole page through a mmap

I might have expressed myself somewhat unclear. Let me try again. varnishd tries to write to a page not in memory and gets a page fault while doing so. As the kernel has no idea of your intentions to overwrite the whole page it will read th

We (Varnish Software) still use mmap, just not for writing. The problem with mmap is that you can't use it to wrote whole pages at a time as the CPU will trap and ask the OS to merge the page you're writing to. mmaps are still gre

mmap a file into memory. As you touch a page the CPU generates a page fault and invokes the kernel. The kernel merges the partially written page with the underlying data. As there is no way to avoid the merge you end up doing write() instea

~ 99% of all varnish instances run on Linux. FreeBSD is still important. Varnish Software doesn't currently have any customers who are planning on staying on FreeBSD. They are all migrating to Linux.

Yes. They are. However, the IWC resolution to ban whaling is not binding. It's advisory and in my opinion not based on facts but feelings.

This tool works pretty well. https://github.com/fgsch/varnish3to4 - combined with the "whats changed" it should not take you much time to upgrade.

Speed limits might change without prier notice due to a car accident or road works ahead. Such works might be initiated by authorities responding to an accident or similar without planning or access to update a central database.

Absolutely. There is a political problem here. Nobody wants to be in the control group. The fairness of the experiment doesn't lend itself well to the social-democratic thinking of the Nordics (everyone is supposed to be treated equall

We've been using hangouts more or less exclusively for at least a year. Hangouts are very stable. When doing training we have hangout sessions that last for two days (minus the nights of course). The problem with hangouts are with acce

Valid point and I clearly was under the misconception that Linux didn't care that much about the external interfaces. However, VCL is more akin the the kernel modules, relying on the internal APIs which are much less stable. When the s

The semantics are completely different which has to be reflected in the VCL. I think keeping compatibility at the cost of sanity is pretty dangerous and disregarding compatibility has been one of the success factors for the Linux kernel.

That would be a pretty blatant copyright violation. Can you provide an example to substantiate the claim?

Having employees make the difference. If you don't have employees you're more or less like a freelancer, which is significantly different from carrying the responsibility for a whole bunch of people.

Quite a few people choose not to work (fathers and mothers of young children) is a good example. Apart from the oil, one of the bright lights in the Norwegian economy is the fact that a really high percentage of the population is working. I

If this is true this casts a weird light on Elons Musks statements about what he called "fools cells". Granted, hydrogen production is still pretty energy inefficient but at least the technology in the cars seems to have matured a
