A Tale of Two MySQL Bugs
New submitter Archie Cobbs writes "Last May I encountered a relatively obscure performance bug present in both MySQL 5.5.x and MariaDB 5.5.x (not surprising since they share the same codebase). This turned out to be a great opportunity to see whether Oracle or the MariaDB project is more responsive to bug reports. On May 31 Oracle got their bug report; within 24 hours they had confirmed the bug — pretty impressive. But since then, it's been radio silence for 3 months and counting. On July 25, MariaDB got their own copy. Within a week, a MariaDB developer had analyzed the bug and committed a patch. The resulting fix will be included in the next release, MariaDB 5.5.33."
Well, DONTGIVEAFUCK is one of the statuses on their Bugzilla. Just sayin'.
Because we all know that's how you tell that something's better.

The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
Has anyone checked with Oracle on the status of this?
I checked. They said they are waiting for the NSA to approve the code change.
Some people never learn until you throw a laser disc at them. It smarts enough that they normally don't want a repeat.
