Sure, it's survivor bias for people whom aren't willing to put in the schlepping and defer gratification that other people are willing to do. It's not survivor bias for everyone in all circumstances, by proof that I have fri

It might work on something like OEL with ZFSonLinux using zfs send/recv. Larger implementation might want to investigate drbd or something like OCFS2, GPFS, AFS or Lustre (none of which probably plays well with cloud environments). May

That make a ton of sense because the boundaries between packaging and cfg management are artificial.

Excess of most anything will kill you. Certain things are much easier to get addicted to than others (meth, crack, smoking, French fries)

Yup. I managed some dataguard (not RAC) instances on AWS for Palm pre HP. Thankfully we had DR plans and snapshots to cover our asses. Edit: Fixed HA techs.

For most people, they're not going to die or starve to death if their startup fails. I literally have no money and live in a van right now, but it could be far, far worse so I have no complaints. Hit the reset button and try again.

Oh yeah. Startups try to hire me outright all the time for below market salary when I could land in a bracket $250-380k at Google, Twitter, wherever. If they are, I say "I'm flattered but I have other plans." I laugh them

Yup. And partying people forget what other meds they're on, what else they've taken/eaten, how much they weight. (How often do people measure, log how much or test potency? Never.) A roommate in uni was white, clammy and s
