What do you think of Zawodny and Balling's High Performance MySQL ? I thought it did a really good job on optimizations for not just MySQL, but many things in common to various SQL systems.

WTF is this? I can't decide if this is some personal beef, trolling, or something else.

Great post! I had a few questions: 1. Do the slaves write to disk? I assume that would incur no performance penalty, as I believe slave writes don't slow down the master's performance -- only the rate of replication. 2. Async operations see

Note: the talk is from May 2010. I wonder if Steve (or rather, jedberg or someone else at reddit) were to give the talk today, if 'memcache' and 'memcachedb' would both be replaced by Redis?

I found his comments on the Start Fund to be the most interesting. Despite all the heat generated when the fund was first announced, I didn't see anyone else describe it as an "unbundling" of advice from money, which is the way Ravikant put

Argh, again, the formatting on these interviews is really hard to read. Why can't they just do a straight interview style, like: TNW: blah blah? Naval: blah blah.

And the fact that the writers stretched the truth so the story would be somewhat fresh Actually I'd argue that they changed the story to make it less fresh, but more understandable/appealing to the non-tech audience. After all, who does

I thought it was perfect in the original dropbox quora post, but I agree that it doesn't quite fit here, and there is certainly a danger of it becoming a meme.

Sure, although at least for me, these posts are most useful for: 1. showing the different kinds of applications people are using redis for; 2. as individual anecdotes that are slowly-but-surely adding up to real data .

When mathematicians are obsolete, computer scientists will be obsolete. This is wrong. There are lots of branches of computer science that are not math, nor dependent on new math.

Has the @ symbol now become the standard symbol for denoting a user's "homepage" on a site? I thought it was generally used to link directly to their twitter page?

The author is Peter Siebel, a fairly well-known lisp hacker and author of Practical Common Lisp . While he's not a C++ programmer (and doesn't claim to be), you can't say he's not a real hacker. http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/

There's a progressive delay in showing the "reply" button on longer threads. This is meant to prevent long flamewars (and it certainly seems to help).

Yes, although I found the formatting somewhat annoying. It's basically an interview, so rather than trying to make it prose or an "article", with quotes and explanatory text, a simpler interview format would have been much easier to read:

I remember that the monitor for the first computer I had -- a Mac IIci -- was in portrait format, and could show a full page of a word document. I thought all monitors looked like that, until I went to a friend's place and saw a landscape m

Ahh, more and more I see that PG's dictum really does hold true: If your first version is so impressive that trolls don't make fun of it, you waited too long to launch. http://www.paulgraham.com/really.html

We have results in our face verification paper showing exactly how well people do on the LFW verification task. The answer is: very good, at 99.2%. However, we also show that much of this is coming from the background and context in the ima

The face recognition problem is very tough and we are nowhere close to solving it for most real problems. The results on Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) [1] show that even on the easier "verification" problem -- "are these two images of the
