@@ -48,3 +48,7 @@ Dead Island dev apologises for "feminist whore" code. fossil deadlock I can easily get fossil to deadlock. It would be great if anyone with fossil internals expertise could comment. Why should I boot Plan 9, when I know I can't run a browser, and I already have p9p? +9p (the network filesystem plan9 and inferno are using) is horribly slow. It only works on fast no-latency LANs. Don't even think about using it on any link with more than 20ms latency. +The (9P) protocol has also other glaring mis-features -- it lacks the ability of moving files -- if you want to move a big file on a remote machine from one directory to another, you'll have to copy it back and forth, all the way. This is incredibly dumb. +I doubt plan9 will ever get into a usable system. Everything inside is like high-brow silliness, second-system syndrome and stupid vulnerabilities you only meet with in historic code from 30 years ago. +As to the ideas inspired by plan9 in modern unix systems, they quickly became just encumbering legacy crap -- e.g. the /proc system in linux. |
