Well some of those questions fall outside of what you're really going to be directly doing with XtraDB. I'll answer the questions that would be more directly related to the story though. For backups we use another Percona tool: h

Just an FYI. We use XtraDB Cluster in a relatively high-transaction, high-performance configuration, so feel free to ask me anything about it! It's a great setup (although you have to work with it, just like most sql clustering setups

Yeah. That part is true. I think you are probably onto the reason there. For RHEL distributions at least all I've seen included are the fuse based unioning filesystems which is sad.

Here's what it looks like to create a container in libvirt-lxc: http://libvirt.org/drvlxc.html It is pretty dang clear to me how to create it.

Eh, AUFS isn't that odd these days. I built a chroot build utility for an open-source project on the back of it and it's super easy to work with. Haven't dealt with it in a couple of years, but I can't imagine it somehow

Well, I imagine given the current love of Docker on this site you're going to be down-voted with a quickness, but from what I've seen and done with it so far I really don't see the great benefit of it over standard LXC. Essen

Ughh. Been there, done that. Thankfully I haven't experienced it since I was a young teenager. You are right about the whole thing being as real, or even more real than reality. It is almost a primal feeling of reality if you get what

I am reasonably sure that many of the people who believe they have been abducted by aliens (or seen them in their room with them) have probably just experienced sleep paralysis. I say this knowing that when I was younger I had a few episode

I'm not entirely certain how your link somehow conflicts with the points I raised. They're really entirely separate. The number of students paying no or reduced tuition really just affects that specific group. This exists across a

I really have to wonder if a lot of the changes made previously to the student loan system are at all linked to the huge campaign contributions made by the University of California system. Basically, any changes that have been made I think

Well I think there's a few things going on here. I can tell you from experience that getting higher load WP sites working well takes a LOT of system memory, especially it seems, when you enable WPMU. It is hard for me to pinpoint one c

Mathematical breakthroughs, yes. I know PhD level mathematicians who have gone to work for the NSA. They are very, very intelligent and capable people. That said, I wouldn't let that stop you from using Selinux. They might have left ea

Well, it all depends. If it's a major customer affecting outage it should certainly be posted to your guys status page. I imagine you don't work at a HN 'echo-chamber' company like DigitalOcean though, I imagine not many

Indeed. Puppet was created in Ruby and thus requires it to function. Puppet is generally meant to be a replacement for configuration scripts. Essentially your Puppet scripts define a 'state' that you want the server to be in, thus

Puppet has it's own DSL. It's easy to learn, but it is difficult to use it well. Basically as a Puppet 'programmer' I can generally see the difference between an experienced user or not. This all said, to extract a lot o

Not sure how it could be considered age discrimination though. You tend to forget 'knowledge' like this fairly quickly. I know for my part at least I generally have to brush up on this kind of learning about every six months (or e

I genuinely don't understand how it's useful to interview someone this way. It basically makes it a game of 'Show us what you remember from CS101/MAE101/etc'. Really why should interviews for people established

Sheesh. This makes what, the fourth or fifth time this year so far.. and for an extended period of time to boot. I wonder if this is linked to how they do their deployments, or something else (Everyone has access to deploy to the live site

There is at least one Vagrant+puppet installer I know of but, well, uhhh... it's on Github and won't help you much at this point :P https://github.com/sbadia/puppet-gitlab

I've been very happy with Gitlab. The CI server seems a bit simplistic at this point and I haven't tried it, but I'm slowly moving all of the stuff I need to have more consistent access to, from Github.

As another person commented, I know far more people with Fitbit's than any other device. They kind of hit a lot of sweet-spots with their product. I do however also know a couple people with the Nike product. From there down I expect t

Well, with other software distributed versions of software where it's licensed I generally have seen a 'maintenance' fee yearly for distribution, meaning that technically the software itself is free, but you're charged y

I was hoping for a software distribution. Looked pretty neat and then saw it was similar to Analytics, etc. where it is hosted. Any chance you guys will be offering a self-hosted version?

Not really. It's a valid welding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_welding ), but I imagine it might be quite a task to scale it up to pipes as large as would be needed for this project.

I might be remembering incorrectly, but wasn't the launch option for App Engine their home-grown version of web.py?

I've always wondered this as well. I mean, Google loves Python as evidenced by App Engine, how many of their internal/external tools use Python and other projects I'm forgetting. Basically I would have at least expected it as

Looks very cool! Going to play around with it some. Is this a first open release of the project or is it in quiet use other places than Instacart?

Not sure why it didn't work out exactly. If you/we want to find out apparently we'll have to follow his blog. I do know that the same people who owned another restaurant here in SD closed another of their restaurants (El Take
