To be fair, the lungs compressible and more like a balloon than a bowl of water. I can assure you, you can exhale upon ascent when inverted. (source: me, who used to log plenty of hours below 150fsw breathing mixed gasses).

While it is highly unlikely that a single free-dive would cause a symptomatic decompression injury, there is a high incidence of decompression-related injuries amongst free-diving fisherman due to repetitive and deep free-diving. The proba

The insides of submarines are at roughly 1 BAR. Unless there is a breach of the integrity of the submarine and you manage to stay in a compressed air pocket for a sustained amount of time (unlikely, at best) prior to ascent, you will not h

MariaDB basically exists because of Monty's hatred for Oracle (which bought Sun after Sun bought MySQL for wheelbarrows full of money from Monty). It won't happen.

Because MySQL replication is simple, mature, and has a rich toolset, it is usually easy to recover from most replication problems. The Percona Toolkit (formerly Maatkit) has two tools that make this fairly painless - pt-table-checksum and p

SNI has the problem that it's not supported on all browsers or operating systems, so even if it worked without configuration it doesn't solve the problem for most use cases. Assuming multiple subdomains on the same domain the only viable a

I live in an area of the US where the temperature ranges from approximately -15F to 32F for 3 months of the year. Heat pumps are not particularly efficient in those temperature ranges. In more mild climates, heat pumps are great. It's ju

If it were possible to remain healthy long term, I'd totally sign up for a pill or drink that took a minute or two to consume and contained everything that we need to survive. I might not do it every day because there are some foods that I

How go you propose that an individual heat their house if not with gas, propane, oil, or wood? Electric heat, except in the case of perhaps a space heater, is extremely inefficient (and in most cases the electricity itself is made by burni

I had a "minor" bought with MRSA a few years back that put me in the hospital for 2 days. Several weeks after getting a tiny little scratch near my elbow my entire forearm swelled up a couple inches. I went through several oral antibiotic t

I'm the opposite. Every time I log into a server that doesn't have my bashrc, I immediately have to `set -o vi` or else I'm useless.

I use nginx + haproxy and use haproxy for the load balancing piece, too. haproxy simply has much more visibility into the queue. I'm not aware of anything built into nginx that is as robust as the logging and stats page from haproxy. Thi

This isn't zero downtime. It's still 15s of downtime (which is really a trivial amount of time for a migration). As a user, I would rather see a maintenance page up than have my connections stall out and have me staring at a blank page.

I'm not that familiar with Fabric, so maybe it can do some of the things I mention here out of the box without a lot of custom code. I'm only familiar with Capistrano and I associate them in my head, perhaps naively. Your example is great

Another downside is that I have completely lost perspective on how long it takes me to "get ready" to go outside the house if I have to be somewhere early in the morning. My routine is that I get up, feed the kids, eat breakfast, read the

Here's my big secret about remote working... I sit at my desk a lot less, but work a lot more. I'm one of those people that simply cannot solve complex problems while sitting at a desk. Because I'm not beholden to butt-in-the-chair sy

I suppose that depends on your definition of "database." This argument is very close to the No True Scotsman fallacy. Nowhere in the definition of "database" does it say that it won't default to truncating your data when you try to stuff i

RDS isn't really that great as a scaling strategy. It's only marginally easier to keep running than your own dedicated MySQL instances and it's far less flexible, particularly for disaster recovery since there is no way to do cross-region
