Schema changes on big tables take hours/days depending on their size. You don't do this in production. What you normally do in a MySQL setup is to run a master-master with one active write master. This way you can run optimizations on one m

Last time I checked Skype's user count was above 500 million and they have 50+ million daily active users. Their network effect is pretty huge.

Another solution might be to set the sourcing of JavaScript in a timeout, e.g. setTimeout(_sourceJavascript, 300). I think this will bypass the blocking nature. This is only based on my intuition thought - it isn't tested. -- It's also impo

* Redis is a lot simpler and more dynamic since it isn't intended to solve petabyte problems or used on large clusters of computers. An example, you can play with Redis online: http://try.redis-db.com/ * Redis is much easier to understand

An amazing release! For me, the most significant feature is by far virtual memory - which means that not all the data has to reside in physical memory. antirez has written a lot about Redis virtual memory, which is worth checking out if you

Freemium, but I don't promote it that much. When people pay they expect support, new features and new iterations - something that I don't have time to provide as Todoist isn't my active startup. For numbers: Todoist has 100.000+ users and o

I really like the UI, it seems to be very simple and user friendly. It would be great if the translators were required to uncover information such as education and how old they are. It would also be great if you could filter out based on ag

_why's influence isn't only in code, but in thinking. And if you look around, for example on github, you will see a lot of people hacking away for fun, trying out new stuff and just doing something they love to do. Did _why start this trend

What we can learn from _why is non-attachment to our work and not taking everything so fucking seriously. We should see our work as art and enjoy every moment of it!
