Yes...this. Another thing that is often overlooked is tiered slaves in conjunction with logical replication for adding OLAP to an OLTP infrastructure. This allows you to have additional reporting data on slaves that is not present on the m

Can you provide some citations to this claim? I know a lot of people who understand ACID, Foreign Keys, and have experience with other DBs (like PostgreSQL) and still often choose MySQL based on its merits.

I agree that the MariaDB and Percona Server versions of MySQL are far superior in many ways, but Oracle, with 5.6 has proved their commitment to MySQL with some awesome new features. I admit there has been a reduction in transparency with

Looks like a useful tool. Thanks!

It's not bad. It's extremely useful. If someone is so negligent that they run something potentially destructive and then immediately sudo !!, they probably shouldn't be administering systems.

Here's one I like for testing bandwidth between two machines: host1$ while : ; do nc -l 6666 > /dev/null; done host2$ pv /dev/zero | nc host1 6666 156MiB 0:00:17 [9.46MiB/s] [ <=> ]

I use this one like a dozen times a day. user@host$ less /var/log/syslog Permission Denied crap... $ sudo !! sudo less /var/log/syslog Woo!

I prefer using tcpdump instead of processlist when dealing with pt-query-digest. You get everything instead of just what happens to show up during the interval specified. This is, of course, assuming that you don't allow localhost socket

I often alias `sudo` to `fucking` to help vent my frustrations $ rm -rf somedir rm: somedir/: Permission denied $ fucking !!

I'm a big fan of pajama working. Just make sure to remember to put pants on (or not stand up) during video conference calls.

I'm not sure that's exclusive to telecommuting. Having worked about half of my career remotely, and the other half in an office, I wouldn't say that the prevalence holiday/middle of the night calls is much different. Certainly, this is more

Basho, Github, and Percona immediately come to mind. Lots of other companies (including my current home, ideeli) have distributed Tech departments with employees all over the world.

I thought I was the only one who did this. Interestingly, I do it much less when using the Clearly Chrome plugin from Evernote. https://evernote.com/clearly/

What platforms are people trying to run Riak, Redis, and MongoDB on where a package is not available, or a compiler is not available? add repository.... {apt-get,yum,brew,port} install {mongodb,riak,redis} I see little benefit in compiling

"CodernityDB pure python, NoSQL, fast database" Is the fact that it is written in "pure Python" really the most important thing to reenforce after the name of the product itself? Why would I use this over established products like Riak, R

The first thing I did when upgrading to Lion was to turn off "natural" scrolling. While arguably more natural when using a touchpad (and definitely when using a touchscreen) is entirely unnatural when using a mouse or trackball. It is c

"I don't touch type" and "I still hit the 120 WPM sweetspot" does not compute.

I appreciate the fact that there may be technically better layouts than QWERTY (Dvorak, Colemak, whatever), I'm still unable to understand how this is going to help me as someone who can has been able to touch-type in the 100-120wpm range

You could make the same exact disclaimer about SQL statement and it would be true: "INSERT modifies data and structures. You should be careful with it, and test it before using it in production. You should also ensure that you have recovera

To be clear, XtraDB is solely developed by Percona. MariaDB has nicely included it, not the other way around.

by AaronBBrown 14y ago
Because there is a disclaimer, you are disregarding a thoroughly tested product that solves your exact problem? One which is released by one of the premier MySQL consultancies with the author of "the" MySQL book as the designer?

We use Riak extensively at ideeli. It looks poised to stick around for the long-haul.

One thing about NFC is that it does not require an active data connection, whereas Square does. That may not seem important, but for those of us who live in the middle of nowhere, it's relevant. I'm not sure that it's relevant enough to c

"is it being used in more and more important things?" Riak is written in Erlang.

A dev can only override it for their session, not at the global level.

That is a comparison from 2006 using MySQL 5.0.20 (ancient!) and as such is completely irrelevant to any discussion on performance in 2012. Dramatic scalability improvements went into late 5.1.x releases, and then even more in 5.5.
