See https://irenezhang.net/papers/demikernel-sosp21.pdf for a more thorough paper on the Demikernel from 2021. There are some great ideas for improving the kernel interface while still allowing efficient DPDK-style pipelines.

"To the best of my knowledge, this derivation is more efficient than the standard published Bresenham or midpoint circle formulations I found on-line. All of them seem to require more operations. In the branching version, mine requires only 3 to 6 adds — that’s it. The standard algorithms I’ve seen listed tend to require 9 or more."

This is from June, 2018. (That should be in the title.) I'm curious how the last five years have been for Costco.

Hasn't everyone learned that "store all the history of changes" is an anti-feature? The Legal departments generally do not care for this (its just more data to make sure you deleted). And it makes schema migrations more painful as not only do you have to migrate the data you have now, but all of your historical data too! If you add a new property do you backfill it in your old data (to keep your code working)? Or start special casing old version in your code? Neither is pretty.

If you want historical audit trails, make them intentional and subject to the same rules and patterns as your regular data.
