This is extremely well written documentation. Kudos to the author!

You could be correct. The point doesn't rely on what a specific benchmark collection in particular does but that there is an open discussion on what is appropriate in the context of what people using the results find important.

It's subjective because it can't be used as a source of truth. Of course "I measured X and my results were Y using methodology Z" can be a statement of fact but X and Z are where the subjectivity lie. For example, benchm

Software benchmarks are super subjective. Michael Larabel at Phoronix and Isaac Gouy of the benchmark game have done a lot in this area. But everyone says you need to take it with a gain if salt (which is often true). There's also TPC-

Yikes. The amount of times I type a message only to delete it, people I'm talking to will probably be horrified if they saw me give a wall of text to be replaced with "cool".

Features get added. So you can't use a match statement in 3.9 but you can in 3.10. If you write a library you need to be conservative in which features you use or applications can't use you. Why not just upgrade applications ASAP?

The author was from Belgium before he passed away five years ago from cancer. His perspective may be rooted in the Belgian experience where health care is affordable, there is a social safety net, and cheap access to mental health support.

Callbacks are insufficient. They do not handle pythons with or javas try-with-resources, making a lot of code break completely. E.g. metrics.

Gnu grep uses Boyers-Moore for searching - it's wicked fast. BSD grep installed by default on Macos might not be using this algorithm. This 2 year old HN post shows the performance difference between Gnu grep and BSD grep on Macos: ht

Western Digital is a big supporter of RISC-V because they (probably) plan to replace the Marvell MIPS chips in the HDD devices with RISC-V. But the reason you probably don't get storage superstars is because it's a healthy market.

This is for enterprise level storage. As you've said the resilvering time is too long unless you're using something like object storage with a whole cabinet to eat the reduced EC shard availability. But the good news is that you h

The same field, twice, in the same index is some next level thinking. Where would you come across this kind of technique?
