   I'm saying it's irrelevant. (Plus, you have yet to point out anything about POSIX that is incompatible with systemd, or vice versa. Go away now, troll.)

   md absolutely hates POSIX, and is actively steering Linux away from it. Remember maths class? Show your working. systemd has fuck all to do with POSIX. If anyone still cared about POSIX, I'm sure you could waste money to get a system

   Linux systems are barely POSIX, were never UNIX, and systemd doesn't have anything to do with POSIX. Windows has a crummy POSIX layer, and it's not like it ships sysvinit. Be serious.

   GNOME 3.16 optionally uses systemd interfaces. It still includes support for pre-systemd ways of doing things.

   If your architecture is amenable to storing files in S3, do. (And if it's a web app, ideally you'd serve them directly, via CloudFront.) EFS first and foremost will take away a huge amount of pain when trying to make filesystem-de

   Except that your one EC2 instance is a single point of failure, from instance through host through availability zone, and that providing reliable, multi-node NFS is hard (even with GlusterFS). And you have to resize your block devices to

   Or you can just run OpenSSH (there are a few nicely packaged versions of it available for Windows) and use PowerShell as the shell. :-)

    The big mistake here is using a split host name CDN (instead of an edge/origin CDN), and then putting the primary CSS on the split host name. That means you have to wait for DNS resolution and the TCP connection roundtrips (or worse, u

    "systemd" and "sane" only ever go in the same sentence as "sane people don't use systemd". It looks like a bug in the init script... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

    The conservative choice of PHP 5.2 as the minimum requirement for WordPress doesn't stop performance sensitive sites using later versions of PHP, or HHVM, or Phalanger, or whatever floats their boat. Indeed, only 30% of WordPress insta

    "I wouldn't trust New Relic charts." Good for you. Putting microtimers throughout your code is like using printf for "debugging": It's banging rocks together. Use xdebug, xhprof, New Relic, something sensib

    I run the numbers and monitor New Relic charts on large WordPress sites all the time. Yes, some request time is spent doing I/O, but the majority of request time in any healthy PHP (or Ruby, Python, etc.) site is spent in PHP. (When mo
