It would be an odd situation if Oracle relicensed to the GPL itself because Oracle's version of ZFS would then definitely be rejected by all non-Linux...

FSF is gonna be like "Uh oh you don't use coreboot so you fail. Next time be more like the 2 old laptops that kind of support it.".

True I can't really say I've found any real world gains in measuring. I still use graphite sometimes just to see if I can find an obvious improvement...

Nice. Actually a pretty competitive price compared to a comparable low-end dual-socket Xeon system.

This is increasingly unusual. I've done quite a bit of benchmarking on current amd64 systems and rarely if ever will -O3 actually reduce performance....

Why is everyone freaking out over the kernel image size? It's absolutely meaningless. You couldn't pick a worse way to measure "bloat"....

I really doubt btrfs is going to magically leapfrog ZFS just by changing compression algorithm. Zfs has been consistently outdoing btrfs in almost every...

I still remember 7 years ago doing a Gentoo install and thinking "Gee btrfs sounds neat, but it sure is slow. Maybe I'll wait a few releases...&...

I've never measured the slightest hint of stability improvement from turbo. In my experience the max stable frequencies are identical regardless of number...

Semicolons as list delimiters in F# make me feel like puking. (I know, I shouldn't care).

Also I hate significant whitespace. Haskell's indenting...

From what I can tell Haskell doesn't have a lot of metaprogramming features so operator overloading is one of the few "abusable" tools to get...
