OS X 10.7.3. Will my long (wifi) nightmare finally be over?

-
(Seemingly) Aeons ago, I upgraded from Snow Leopard (10.6) to Lion (10.7).  And my long personal wi-fi nightmare began.  Actually, technically speaking, its not my nightmare.  Its our nightmare - check out this thread from Apple Support Communities, which is basically one long jazz riff to the tune of
Hey Apple! 
I upgraded to Lion. 
My Wi-Fi now blows!
Hey Apple!


10.7.1 came with a bevy of promised Wi-Fi fixes - or rather, it didn't.
10.7.2 came with a new bevy of promised Wi-Fi fixes - and it didn't work either.
But now, Hey Now, *now* they've got it all fixed.
10.7.3 is out, and I see from the release notes
Resolve a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep
I am hopeful! Nay, I am convinced that it will work this time.  After all, when has Apple ever failed me? (No, don't answer that.  Please don't.  Let me at least pretend for the next few hours...)

Update:  Sigh.  Didn't work.  But I am hopeful!  10.7.4 will save the day! (After all, it could be worse, there are supposedly all sorts of issues w/ 10.7.3)

Spotted this one just outside the Ravindra Kalakshetra in Bangalore .  Its called the Cannonball Tree , but is - technically (i.e., in Latin, if thats your metier) - Couroupita Guianensis , or ನಾಗಲಿಂಗ ಪುಷ್ಪಾ  in Kannada. The fruits look like Cannonballs (well, d-uh), and the flowers are really quite amazing, and pretty ludicrously distinctive...

Erlang, Binaries, and Garbage Collection (Sigh)

-

The nice thing about garbage-collection is that it is makes memory management absolutely transparent to you Of course, the above is true right up to the point when it stops being transparent, at which point it does a phase change from nice to clusterf**k of biblical proportions .  There are entire posts, books, and suicide notes that have been written about this, and I have no great desire to add to them, save with the minor comment that paranoia about garbage-collection is still justified , albeit only in the edge-cases for most people. That said, I'll give you that Erlang GC is in many ways much, much better positioned in this regard than, oh, Java, but it still rears up and bites you in the butt when you least expect it. ( More information about Erlang's GC vis-a-vis Java here , and Jesper's truly excellent description of Erlang's GC here ).  A story from the past should serve to illustrate this. Once upon a time, in a magical land far far away - well, Her...
