Re: [9fans] fuse bashing

[Charles Forsyth <forsyth@terzarima.net>]

i probably ought to make clear that i have not been commenting on the
quality of the code of fuse--not at all--but rather various limitations of what it does,
and (to be fair to it even more) of the creaky system(s) beneath it.

as Tad used to say, though, about yet another attempt to
make anything interesting look as boring as everything else,
``come on [X], it's the 90s!!'' (and that was last century!)

at least to me, distribution is a big task of systems now, on
increasingly large scale and range.  space, the final frontier;
something like that.  it's hard enough as it is, but linux seems
currently no help whatsoever: each system is still stuck in its own
little box, fretting about those tlbs.  `distribution' occurs mainly
in discussing which new ones turned up this month.

i'm not surprised everything has fallen on the broad shoulders of apache.
no, that can't be right: that must be ajax.  interesting nomenclature:
apache, tomcat, jaguar, ..., all suggest potential for blood and pain to me.
or is it appealing to the warrior in the geek?
