A little off-topic, but since the article mentioned macOS not necessary actually doing a flush even on fsync(), I've been wondering how long it is before macOS actually writes to the drive. A non-trivial number of my writes are a compile followed by, oh yeah, quick fix, recompile. It'd be nice if it would hold off for a while. Given that I'm on a laptop, the risk of losing data is limited to the very rare times I actually run out of power or a kernel panic.
