The one thing I know how to do really well with ZFS is get confused by the extended ACLs!

I was there in may, Cuba was already connected. Its just another "look at how good America is making Cuba" article.

I would not want to write anything big in Perl 5. But for small-ish scripts (say, less than a thousand lines) it is pretty hard to beat.
"I wouldn't write anything big in <insert language>" is pretty much always a true statement. What changes it is the framework.
I can write a web application in some homebrew <insert language> and it can grow to 40 developers, 1000 db tables and thousands of files. But it would be terrible to work on (I know I've seen it). Or i can write the same thing with a framework, and have it much more manageable.
Realistically, when was the last time you say down and wrote a big application in vanilla <insert language>?

I wouldn't call imgur highly available. More like highly unavailable.

I still can't believe Soylent is a thing. What is wrong with food? People who want this make no sense to me. None at all.
Is this news? Because I've always assumed the tests are very biased. my car says it can get 70mpg in extra urban, yet it gets 54 max, I knew 70 was a lie when I bought it. Same with the tv, light bulbs, fridge and so on. In no way is any of it real world efficiency.
I think one of the bigger problems with a non-native plugin api is that doing anything non-trivial could become either unnecessarily complex or possibly even intractable. I'd be curious how they are planning to support extensions like vimperator or even no-script.
