A blast from the past! Years ago I worked on some J2EE nonsense to do e-commerce websites on top of a Pick application. It was I think called Mailbrain, I think running on HPUX though I could be mis-remembering. There was a horrible text based socket protocol for passing data records back and forth.

I do remember the Pick greybeards being dismissive of this new fangled SQL stuff: "we had relational databases before SQL don't you know"

It's based on data from councils and tfl, so council run parks are included (e.g. Gunnersbury near where I live) but not royal parks (like Richmond park)

Many geo-ip services also offer VPN or server detection (e.g. is the IP in one of the EC2 ranges).

In a previous job at an online gambling company we found that a large percentage of fraudulent user accounts came from VPNs so ended up banning them at the geo lookup stage.

It depends on the type of gambling. Sports based gambling has basically disappeared. Bingo/slots/casual games are up in general I think.

OP here. I assumed knowledge of how FreeBSD works and the ongoing efforts to move to clang. I can see how the title could be misleading for people who are not familiar.

As others have pointed out "FreeBSD has removed GCC from the. base system" would be a better title.
