bjgon Satya Nadella Added $850B to Microsoft

Go look at the stock history, the moment Ballmer became CEO in 2000 the price stopped growing, lulled back down into the ~20-30's and stayed there until he stepped down in 2014. He did "exceptionally well" at keeping it where it was...

Ex: https://people.kernel.org/monsieuricon/feed/

+1 Professor Fluet was one of my favorite professors, it was his first year at RIT, and he did an awesome job.

bjgon Benchmarking OS primitives

I'm not sure I agree with (a), any app that is focused on perf is likely going to use jemalloc or any of the other high performance allocators (tcmalloc), and completely bypass the libc implementation...

Currently working a very difficult bug... was hoping there would be a checklist for debugging / postmortem analysis / problem solving.

bjgon How Microsoft brought SQL Server to Linux

There is no virtualization used in SQL server on Linux... It's not a VM. It's a just like any other Linux process... It just happens to have something that looks a lot like the NT Kernel running inside that process.

Public symbols, which aren't nearly as useful as private symbols.

bjgon [dead]

I did read your entire post, I saw that you acknowledged the fact that the AMA was 3 years old.

It's just that your post wasn't interesting, and didn't contain any substance. So I felt the need to warn others who are likely to fall into the same trap I did.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Before you get excited the AMA is 3 years old.
