A burgle.

By way of documentation, this refers to FCC Part 97 rules, specifically §97.113(4):

"Music using a phone emission except as specifically provided elsewhere in this section; communications intended to facilitate a criminal act; messages encoded for the purpose of obscuring their meaning, except as otherwise provided herein; obscene or indecent words or language; or false or deceptive messages, signals or identification."

In fact, we couldn't switch to Scylla prior to 2019 because their support of incremental counters wasn't yet complete.

Hi Alex - This looks a lot like what Scylladb did to unleash the potential of the Cassandra space, with a fully optimized C++ rewrite of an Apache project. Did you draw some inspiration from their efforts?

As a satisfied Scylla convert, I'm looking forward to trying Redpanda.

Agreed. We have already migrated 90% of our workloads to graviton2. After running our performance tests, it's a no-brainer price/performance boost.

Yes - this is the issue for me with the Razer controllers: They are right-handed only. Like the Sherbet, the Azeron is 3D printed, which of course makes it much easier to manufacture left-handed models. The Azeron looks good, but at nearly 200 euros it's pretty pricey.

These have always been magical devices to me. I still use and maintain an old Heathkit capacitor tester that uses one as its indicator.

CPAN also exists, but not as it once did. Perl 5 wasn't just a language, but an ecosystem.

“Meat’s back on the menu, boys!”

In your view, does this study fall short of answering the “is it true?” question?

Alternatively, it could also be in the interest of many for these patches to have an inordinate negative affect on performance with Intel CPUs.

I am reminded that Linus has experience in the CPU industry (Transmeta), so he is in a position to see both sides on this.

The most striking thing here is that Linus has apparently dismissed incompetence as a rational explanation. Yes, he is often brash, but usually he is accusing someone of sheer stupidity. He does not do that here. Linus alleges that we are being lied to - that we don’t know the full story, nor Intel’s motives.

Furthermore, we are left to wonder if Microsoft is also being fed “bullshit” patches, and if they may be less discerning than Linus regarding a proper solution.

Yes - I’ve had five kids. The sum total cost was less than the claim in the title of this article.

The author misses one key point: it’s not only about debt coming due on their scheduled dates. It’s that much of this debt is also saddled with covenants that can cause a debt to be collectible at any time if the terms are not met. Things like a company's loan-to-value ratio, leveraged inventory through high accounts payable, and other financial metrics. In short, market troubles can force long-term lines of credit to abruptly come due.
