It's great for my side projects but I have never been able to use it at work. I gave up and used pyinstrument instead.

I wanted to submit a ticket for my use case but I can't find a minimal program & setup to reproduce the issue. I just know it in my gut it has to do with the mix of multiprocessing (fork) + async + threading.

Tcl is also at the heart of some F5 Networks products

My team and I write TCL based iRules for F5 devices. We do it a couple of times a week. They are a very nice tool.

Sometimes we've had to use it like an emergency super power to patch http applications on the wire.

The reason why some financial institutions are working right now is because of some iRules we wrote a couple for years ago.

If your company uses F5 boxes, you should befriend your F5 admins.

Wait. Since when does the FCC regulate the planet's atmosphere?

I don't live in the UK but this is my hope too.

I'm going to the office even though I'm not an essential worker because working from home ruins my mental health. I stayed home for the first three weeks of social distancing and I couldn't be more stressed and unhappy if I tried.

I clicked on the link thinking it would make me feel dumber and lazier than usual and I was not disappointed.

That was a nice read.

I've been using Awesome every day since 2009. The only things I change from the default on a new install is the terminal, the default layout and hide title bars.

The author mentions compositors, but if you don't require fancy things like transparent windows or shadows, and you have a a well supported/behaved GPU and monitor, you can probably do without them if all you care about is tearfree video. Drivers like intel, ati, amdgpu and more recently modesetting have a TearFree option that does just that. For some systems switching to a DRI3/glamour setup is enough and as a last resort you can configure X11 and mesa to force vsync.

Just write, dammit.
