So, background info. B. Gregg was at Sun before the evil Oracle acquisition. He quite literally wrote the book[0] on DTrace. Now he's at Netflix (i.e., he has as far as I can tell no vested interest in either that Docker/Solaris derivative [his interest is probably just getting great performance out anything that works rather than some plebian Mirage/unikernel vs on-the-metal BS we saw on Friday]). (Side-note, if you're reading this Mr. Gregg, your 2009 cheatsheet for DTrace[1] saved me countless hours on a production FreeBSD machine circa 2011. I owe you big.)<p>I've read his work on-and-off for a long time and there's little no to incendiary click-bait junk, or bias in most (if any) of what he publishes. Obviously he can't dedicate 60-hour resources a post-doc might, but he conducts most of his tests with rigor, and this blog post is no exception to the high-standards to which he presumably holds himself. I'd love to see Anil (one of the MirageOS leads (co-founder IIRC; pedigree - PhD from Imperial or Oxbridge)) comment. Either way, this is an example of how one should construct posts (I know we're not in academia, but there's no excuse for that absolutely abysmal post[2] made on Friday).<p>Thanks for raising the caliber of conversation, my good man.<p>[0] <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0132091518/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=deirdrestraug-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399369&creativeASIN=0132091518" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0132091518/ref=as_li_ss_tl?...</a><p>[1] <a href="https://blogs.oracle.com/brendan/resource/DTrace-cheatsheet.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://blogs.oracle.com/brendan/resource/DTrace-cheatsheet....</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.joyent.com/blog/unikernels-are-unfit-for-production" rel="nofollow">https://www.joyent.com/blog/unikernels-are-unfit-for-product...</a><p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10953766" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10953766</a> for the discussion
