You have to pick the instance type beforehand. Back when I asked about this in the alpha, I was told changing the size of the instance flushes the cache on the basic instance and has some downtime. I can confirm this happens now that resizi

Currently, the only available version is 3.2, so that's a no.

It's not an alternative implementation. I've been on the alpha and some of the bugs were actually bugs in the OSS redis.

That's not true. panic.com has an A record (and www is a CNAME to @) that points to an IP address that's not PI and advertised only as part of 38.0.0.0/8, obviously, only from Cogent.

That subscriber link above explains why, but in the whitepaper I read, it said Broadwell, not only Skylake.

What worries me is that those tests are with unpatched kernels. So these drops are only from the microcode updates?!

You won't need a microcode update. The microcode update is only needed for Broadwell and newer (for those, retpolines don't work). Also, hello, fellow 2600k owner :D

It's okay, retpolines are similarly so for C++: https://reviews.llvm.org/D41723 Again, obviously, not all indirect jumps need this, but still, Intel's fix might be even worse.

It's not a bug, except if you consider Cyrillic a bug. :)

Because transliteration. Fuck Cyrillic and Bulgarians' idea of how to move to and from Latin. Edit: Okay, I take it back. The Bulgarian official transliteration does it right.
