I don't think the original article was very good, and I'm glad Laura has had positive experiences (plenty of us guys do try to make sure its a welcoming environment for everyone). There are certainly plenty of well-meaning people out there

They're actually very stable once you're moving, more so than some other bike geometries and at low speed I can't tell much of a difference. If someone else was used to a different bike design then I can see it might take a bit of adjustm

The FLOPS/watt ratio might be higher than regular servers or desktop machines ( might be, its not clear), but for a lot of small scale homebrewed deployments it's not realistic to expect linear scaling (given the problems/algorithms/availa

I use zsh for day-to-day use. It's mostly been good to me but sometimes I contemplate switching back to bash because of the performance: sometimes zsh simply hangs for seconds at a time. I'm sure one extension or another is at fault and I

I hope you're getting paid well for this. One of the most important things is just to manage expectations - it sounds like you've got a huge task ahead of you and people will underestimate how long it will take you to fix stuff. It might al

Bingo. Outside of Tech Companies/Silicon Valley/Major US Metro Areas/the US as a whole, iPhones don't have that huge a market share. More people have Android phones, but often running old hardware, old software, and even more have feature

That isn't entirely fair to the InnoDB/MySql developers at Oracle - from what I've heard there has in general been an increase in development activity within Oracle. Some of that is merging patches from downstream, but most of the work has

There's nothing wrong with caffeine, particularly in moderate quantities and if you don't use it to stay up all night. Red bull and other sugary drinks are a different story, but the problem there is sugar and not caffeine. I hate to have

I don't think Percona sees itself as a fork: it is just MySQL + special Percona patches.

From what I've heard withholding test cases is actually official Oracle policy, unlike, for example, the lack of updates to the launchpad repository. There wasn't any deliberate attempt to without commit history from launchpad - they were
