Is the "static initialization order fiasco" a thing that can happen in go? The order of package level variable initialization is well defined in the spec and because go doesn't allow import cycles it seems like the issue ment

Cassandra allows you to configure a "partitioner" that determines which nodes a primary key belongs to. There is a ByteOrderPartitioner that stores partitions in order lexicographically by primary key. There is also a Murmor3 hash

I'm very interested in hearing more about what running FoundationDB in production is like. I believe that FoundationDB stores rows in lexicographical order by key. Other databases like Cassandra strongly push you toward not storing dat

Last time I tried `perf trace` I realized how many things strace does that I take for granted. Things like file handle to filename resolution and pretty printing read() and write() buffers. Do newer versions of `perf trace` expose these?

LWN is a class act. Most subscription services make you jump through hoops to cancel your subscription. Not LWN though. It is the only media subscription that I've seen that doesn't automatically renew when your payment term is up

This is in reference to the issue a few years ago where it was easy to wipe EFI vars via /sys, which would happen if you rm -rf / .[1] Wiping the EFI vars would brick your system. [1]: https://www.phoronix.com/scan

The code takes the CT hostname and tries to access a bunch of different buckets that might exist related to that hostname. So if you get a cert for foo.example.com it will ask s3 if foo.example.com.s3.amazonaws.com and www-foo.example.com
