I don't know the exact rule, but "abstraction layers" for a driver are disallowed. I believe it was AMD or ATI that added a new driver for a device, but they basically just took the code from their proprietary driver, and the

The thread is large, maybe I read the whole thing at one time, but the point of it is literally someone asking why using direct io is slower. That is the point I make, you can't just enable direct io (which by passes all the logic to s

This was before 2012, AWS did not exist. The company had to find rackspace in a data center. Which we couldn't. One of the funding customers "loaned" us a couple of slots in their on premise data center which fit only a blade

I probably meant to say "synchronous_commit", which is how data is written to disk from the WAL. If you want full data guarantees, with regular hard drives, you'd be looking at less than 200 transactions per second. You set s

I found it odd that the article complained about squid proxy being slow. There was a memory leak issue in the 4.x versions, it was fixed sometime in the 5.x version. I dealt with it for like 2 years but could never figure out where the leak

My memory is fuzzy but I believe he was a collector of nude art. Nude children were found in some boxes of this art. But there were boxes and boxes, to the point he didn't know what he had and hadn't looked at most of it.
