Super fun article. I also like to see a "real" implementation of crazy ideas like this.
Can anyone confirm if the Microsoft DNS servers default to caching an unlimited amount of data? The article claims "Unlimited??" as the default for these systems. Eyeballing the pie chart looks like 20% of the servers are running Microsoft, which could provide quite a lot of storage.
This is a showcase of larger open source projects used in the visual effects and animation industry. Several of them are contributed to by Disney engineers, but most people would not consider these Disney projects. Disney has open sourced and released some impressive open source projects over the years, and it's exciting to see their endorsement on these others.
I still remember when Firefox switched to using SQLite for most of its internal data. It felt like it took 3 or 4 releases to work out the concurrency and blocking issues. I remember back in the day it had lots to do with fsync.
Has most of that been worked out between SQLite and newer Linux kernels, or is that a pit waiting for other applications that go the same route?
