I think there are still definitely workloads suitable to other data store setups like graph, tabular, etc. (at least based on performance testing i've seen in the past). On the plus side a lot of standard crappy workloads (weblog reductio

Most modern hardware LBs support active-active or active-passive connections with each other (deploying two A10s, etc.). It's been this way for 15 or so years (since local director, bigip, arrowpoint, etc.). The main reasons you would suf

I didn't take it as "pitbulls are aggressive" but as pitbulls are tenacious. Pitbulls are one of the few breeds which exhibit the "bite-hold-shake" (like their ancestor the bulldog) and are thusly seen to be tenacious. Maybe just differen

One quick note 1. Lift heavy as possible and 2. Use proper form. Part of the reason people often are started with lighter weights is to get proper form in a safer manner. This is why crossfitters (for example) often first are taught to pe

Wah. I was hoping for something more interesting than S3 for persistence of the key / values...as kenneth seems to have very novel and interesting takes on things.

Nah...there's tons of workarounds these days which make things way faster / less latent. Couple quick examples: * look at memory mapped data in java (basically using sun.misc.Unsafe lets you deal with things like malloc and free) * look at

Another option which allows one to sit and keep the core engaged are things like a the swopper chair or exercise/swiss/balance balls. Because of the nature of the subtle movements, your hip flexors are engaged often (as long as you don't c

No...I don't make the assumption they know anything about those games. I start off talking to them about some of the above games.. One could just as simply walk through other games (checkers, tick-tack-toe, hangman, etc.). Or...if they'v

"Asking a candidate a difficult brainteaser that may be even close to impossible can be extremely revealing." I prefer problems that are ridiculously simple on the outside; however, allow for lots of optimization. Choose the next best move

Aqua Data Studio is what i've largely used in the past. It's expensive; however, I had to work on a lot of different databases and data warehouses and it was the best fit for most.

Ditch the whisk? A whisk is perfect for controlled aeration of a substance. A fork lacks the necessary dispersion area. What else would you suggest using to cream whites or eggs that is in his list (if you're also getting rid of the stan

The closest things i've seen are exploratory data visualization products such as tableau (which is pretty awesome). The downside (or partial downside) is it can end up writing some nasty non-performant queries in certain aspects.

People seem to make fun of lots of a16z's investments; however, their returns have been excellent.. I seem to recall people ridiculing/questioning their skype investment as well.

"exceedingly well for very adhoc queries" vs "If your query patterns are even somewhat predictable and occur frequently" Aren't those ... largely opposite? To say "very adhoc" i would anticipate that as largely meaning "not predictable".

There's also security through obscurity. If you use "requirepass" AND rename the "auth" command to something only the client knows (yes...you can rename commands in redis), then you could potentially "partially" secure the instance even mo

Not just corks...but cork flooring, etc. as well (which is amazing stuff to put in your kitchen...warm, acoustically insulating, soft and bouncy). Lovely stuff that.

Related to the shit sandwich, one other thing I always liked @ ldcl/opsw was making sure there was constructive criticism during the performance reviews. While it was great that reviews were 90+% "You're awesome and I want to bear your chi

First, running redis remote where you have WAN times involved is typically not the most performant. Second, if it's the cost, run it on a VPS where you'll get more memory for the money (hopefully the same VPS provider you use for other thi

As to salary, i just ask up front during opening discussions (before interviews). I ask them to give me a ballpark of salary range so we're not wasting each others' time.
