But, for a long time, you needed to be comfortable with mysqldump or other backup / restore methods to move servers or providers. Developers, system administrators, database administrators, and enthusiasts were hip deep in open source operating systems, programming languages, and open databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL. Not so much.

The behavior of the Windows scheduler changed significantly in Windows 10 2004, in a way that will break a few applications, and there appears to have been no announcement, and the documentation has not been updated.

Syscall count by program bpftrace -e 'tracepoint:raw_syscalls:sys_enter { @[comm] = count(); }'. bcc is powerful but laborious to program.
