You guys are so hot.
Glad I'm not the only one who was, um, enjoying this.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The more often we open and close mysql connections, the more likely we are to exercise the race condition that Rob discovered. After mysqld is restarted, the fewer connections we make, the longer it will take for the condition we are in now to reoccur.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
We're all sharing one connection? This explains the rash.

Can I blame someone here for eating all my Pringles?

I've passed the information on to Steven. Since we have confirmation from the actual people at MySQL, I'm going to the mattresses on this one, if necessary.
There was a reason persistent connections wasn't recommended. I'll have to look back at my notes to remember why. Either way, I know we can't do it in our current location but it's certainly worth a shot in our new home, wherever that may be.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Can I blame someone here for eating all my Pringles?
No. But I can apparently blame you for eating all of mine, since I don't seem to have any. Hmmph.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The more often we open and close mysql connections, the more likely we are to exercise the race condition that Rob discovered. After mysqld is restarted, the fewer connections we make, the longer it will take for the condition we are in now to reoccur.
I hope there's a timely patch (a girl can dream, can't she) that's implemented quickly. Who knows, though, if the bug would still be triggered with persistent connections anyway?
Tom, I'm finding that text a bit opaque. With persistent connections, then, the entire site is using just the one? Five? Fifty? When are they closed? From their description of them, it makes it sound like a line-for-line substitution should work for the code, and the labour is in the server tuning.
But I don't fully grasp it.
