I have a $20pm droplet with ubuntu with auto updates (Including major release) from 2014. So it has done 14->18. DB with web app. I have never had anything more stable since.

Not sure if the article did not do into enough detail, or I am not technical enough in this field. But would this be able to bypass python and other interpreters GIL. ie "VISC’s secret sauce" is to hook into raw machine code instruction set and determine if it is changing anything in other cached/executing instructions, and if it is not pipe it to another core. Thus if Python issues instructions it can immediately determine if it can be piped to multiple cores.

For a brief period I worked at GE-IP. The reason I did not continue was, I felt I could add more value to the customer by using open source software and was not allowed to use it.

I was working in the mining industry. Where deep vendor lock-in is seen as the only path to success. GE follows this model to the core. Before a major revolution there needs to be more open source industrial software.
