It's not just better performance on latency benchmarks, it likely improves throughput as well because the writes will be batched together. Many applications do not require true dur…

I was _extremely disappointed_ not to see this meme when I clicked on the link. Will not consider using this extension until Xzibit is prominently featured.

This is an insane standard and attempting to adhere to it would mean that the CVE database, which is already mostly full of useless, irrelevant garbage, is now just the bug tracker…

Maybe I am misunderstanding how this works, but if you did that, you would no longer have a pointer with a valid metadata flag, and if you try to use it, you get a fault (at least …

There are comments suggesting that this was reported the Apache some time ago, but a CVE wasn't assigned? Getting a CVE assigned, even with hardly any details at all ("get ready to…
