I don't understand why you would host your source code externally? You can buy Atlassian Stash, once, for $1800/25 users, and use it forever: https://www.atlassian.com/software/stash/pricing

And yet, you're paying those engineers (and every other employee) to waste their time using N different non-integrated services, all of which change at random whenever a new release is pushed out, disrupting your processes. I've b

Heck, there are paid , commercial software suites that are far, far, far, cheaper than this.

This is horrible, but not because of the Java part — it's the webview that puts your desire for a single UI technology stack ahead of user's desire for a decent UX.

Why would a port of a more unstable Vim with hacky IPC-based plugin mechanism be "sprightlier"? Dropping support for operating systems and reformatting the code doesn't make it run faster.

Which is why Docker is an ultimately bad idea; OS-specific binary images are the wrong level of abstraction for managing the deployment of code that's otherwise completely portable.

This is wonderful. I would invest in something that took it a step further; turn it into self-sustaining non-profit or co-op that's focused on keeping people in their homes and able to repay the costs of repurchasing them.

If by "changes to the kqueue" API you mean "adding a new filter type, as kqueue was designed to support", then how is the kqueue API poorly designed? Why should the BSDs adopt a completely separate inotify hack? "10

That requires that you have control over all threads, which is just not something that can be guaranteed with modern operating systems and libraries that regularly spawn their own threads. Thread-interrupting delivery of signals is necessar

You're absolutely 100% full of crap. I already explained how kqueue's flexibility means that an EVFILT_DIR can be added easily, and work with all other event mechanisms on the system. > The Linux devs had 5 years to come up

The OS has to pause a thread that triggers a signal; how can it proceed if doing so would just segfault again?

by teacup50 12y ago
Why do you keep ascribing EVFILT_VNODE's limitations to the the fact that the kqueue API is well designed and extensible? The inotify designers had 5 years to figure out the constraints and implications of file system notifications --

Would be saner to extend kqueue and hang a Linuxlator inotify compatibility shim off of that; that'd isolate the mess to sys/compat/

by teacup50 12y ago
Bah. This is complete nonsense. EVFILT_VNODE is not complicated to use for the cases for which it was actually designed — monitoring a file descriptor. For more general file system monitoring, a new kqueue filter type would be ideal, but

by teacup50 12y ago
I don't understand your point; kqueue is a comparatively new idea. Do you want signals written as messages across ZeroMQ? In that case, look at Mac OS X's use of Mach ports for exception handling, which is an even older idea t

Here's my friendly reminder. If you only pay attention to linkbait headlines and vapid blog content, you're going to have a hard time finding well-written software amidst the sea of well-marketed crap.

Really? Sickening? There are any number of candidates available that won't require special consideration to manage a disease, so why should someone solely take on the charity burden of giving this fellow a job?

This is a completely pointless semantic distinction that nobody cares about. What makes threads interesting is parallelism; if the goal is merely cooperative or pre-emptive multitasking, where there's no concurrency, then you're
