So, background info. B. Gregg was at Sun before the evil Oracle acquisition. He quite literally wrote the book[0] on DTrace. Now he&#x27;s at Netflix (i.e., he has as far as I can tell no vested interest in either that Docker&#x2F;Solaris derivative [his interest is probably just getting great performance out anything that works rather than some plebian Mirage&#x2F;unikernel vs on-the-metal BS we saw on Friday]). (Side-note, if you&#x27;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&#x27;ve read his work on-and-off for a long time and there&#x27;s little no to incendiary click-bait junk, or bias in most (if any) of what he publishes. Obviously he can&#x27;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&#x27;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&#x27;re not in academia, but there&#x27;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;gp&#x2F;product&#x2F;0132091518&#x2F;ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=deirdrestraug-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399369&amp;creativeASIN=0132091518" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;gp&#x2F;product&#x2F;0132091518&#x2F;ref=as_li_ss_tl?...</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blogs.oracle.com&#x2F;brendan&#x2F;resource&#x2F;DTrace-cheatsheet.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blogs.oracle.com&#x2F;brendan&#x2F;resource&#x2F;DTrace-cheatsheet....</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.joyent.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;unikernels-are-unfit-for-production" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.joyent.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;unikernels-are-unfit-for-product...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10953766" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10953766</a> for the discussion
