I 100% agree with you, but that shouldn't prevent you from being considerate, polite and constructive. It's just an opportunity for me to express my extreme dislike for one line dismissive comments just asking "How is this be

Everyone's time is limited, whether it's useful to you (or not), only you can say. You are basically implying that the time of other people is less valuable than yours when you say "please tell me why I must look at it".

I found the best to feel better during winter is to supplement my diet with D vitamins.

This is not bypassing a kernel. This is called Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) and there is still a kernel. FYI most of the devices inside your computer work through DMA.

Developers of such software might care about unikernels, users, probably less.

You don't bypass the kernel, you bypass the TCP stack of the kernel and this is for very specific applications.

What it means is that it doesn't matter if they are faster or not because the OS isn't the bottleneck. The bottleneck is the framework or the user application in most of the cases.

We've experimented a lot with thread affinity and our conclusion is that more often than not playing with thread affinity brings no performance advantage and is very problematic to work with on different platforms. For example on Linux

Not really. From a carreer perspective you are 100% certain that there will be a lot of demand for C++ in 5 years (since the whole IT infrastructure is written either in C or in C++), whereas for Rust you are taking a huge bet.

How would you compare it to concierge services of Platinum+ cards? Especially when it comes to dining and travel accomodation? Do they have also access to reserved slots in concerts or restaurants?

It says in the paper you should pin on thread per core, actually I've found no performance gain to do that. You can also overcommit a little bit (ie more threads than cores). Also you should make sure the IRQ of the network card is pin

That's the hard part being able to see yourself with some objectivity. The other trap is : "I sing so well I am talented" (and in fact you are at best average). For any activity there is always better than you, what matters,

You must discover what you are good at. It requires brutal honesty with oneself. Also, why should there be a point? Life is a journey.

Another way to view it is that the biggest limits in your life are the ones you set. I'm perfectly aware that some people start with huge disadvantages in life, but whatever your starting point, you can end up much higher. Never let an

The point of using random instead of zero is that it's harder to see which parts have been overwritten and which parts haven't been.

ECC is a requirement for servers when we validate installations of our database product. Basically the take away is that without ECC you can expect a memory error every two days on machines with a lot of RAM.

I'm happy to see you've read the documentation thoroughly! We indeed stopped using LevelDB. It has been used for a while but we couldn't work around some speed issues. LevelDB is good for many scenarii when properly configure

Sorry to say but we have something that is truly transactional and distributed ( https://www.quasardb.net ). It slows down a bit writes (because of the commit) but it scales well. And before us FoundationDB delivered the same feat
