Many good comments in this thread. I'll just leave a note of my experience and opinion. I've used vim since about the year 2000. Before having access to a computer running a Unix, I'd read books about the Unix environment and

Good point, actually. At least for me, reveals a blind spot. Out of sight, out of mind.

I understand the cost of switching now. Was Postgres never an option? Do the uptime requirements call for RAC etc.?

Beautiful name indeed. Happy memories of trying out Solaris 8 x86 on a Celeron with 64MB.

As a Linux sysadmin in Norway... bro means bridge and br reminds me of brctl(8).

I certainly recognize some of these pain points :) the need to register JDKs is not presented in a manner that's easy to understand. Then there's the warning about unregistered VCS roots. I confess that rather than looking into th

Really a shame that the most important access method that gives full access can't have 2FA.

I don't really see why ToroDB can't be implemented on top of Oracle :) There could be some demand for it there. I needed this for a side project at work a while back, but didn't get the time to implement it. Oracle's cum

Camlistore ( https://camlistore.org/ ) is the answer. Here's hoping it becomes just as easy to use as Dropbox someday.

There are some who would consider that the default behaviour of JavaScript in web browsers is unsafe. They went off and made things like https://developers.google.com/caja/ and http://www.adsafe.org/ .

Try googling for the Hacker News usernames of these people who're trying to help you. Very likely you'll find them on Twitter, LinkedIn etc. E: If you haven't already done this, of course.

What about Oracle database connectivity? Does this implementation come with drivers?

I assumed `Jeans' was some obscure language or framework. If `Shoes' and `Rails', why not Jeans?

That's my favourite too. But whatever usability studies GOOG has done can't be wrong...!?

I like it that they went (back to/for) this version. The earlier one had absolutely no taste, IMHO. The change hasn't happened yet on google.no.

How did it come to this? I mean, did it require lobbying to achieve this, or was it sunshine and rainbows all the way? For my part, I think this is a good effort.

The fate of OpenSolaris is quite sad. Do you think SmartOS and similar efforts will significantly diverge from Solaris in the future? This thing with Oracle Linux - I always felt that Red Hat should've made RHEL (+ Desktop) freely available

For my part, I don't trust Oracle to be a good steward for Java. Who knows - time will tell. It's not all gloom and doom though; Attila Szegedi is at Oracle now, working on Nashorn - something exciting for Java 8.

Interesting - that paper talks about isolates, which are implemented in Dart. Dart core team members used to work on HotSpot and other Java tech (CLDC).

Aren't the GitHub team members rather youthful, in general? Skilled, yes, and also opinionated and outspoken. Things might change as they get older and settle into a more balanced lifestyle.

Here follows nostalgic reminiscence and some ranting. I used to run OpenSUSE exclusively. That was fine when the world was young and my job didn't demand too much of my time. I didn't need any graphics support, WiFi or even ACPI. 10 years l
