What about your CEO/co-founder Demian Sellfors? Demian’s succession plan has been a long time in the making. In fact, Demian engineered the company’s strategy resulting in this acquisition. About a year and a half ago. Demian handpic

Yoshinori is the engineer who developed MHA, MySQL replication auto failover. It's essentially a perl script that ensures a master is always available and functional. This is so DBAs don't have to spend hours manually fixing a bro

I'm confused that none of them expressed fear of being the target of a serious DDoS attack. Is it regarded as such a black swan event that it's not even in the radar?

Perhaps it made him a "better" programmer but claiming to have made him a better "man" is a bit exaggerated. I guess he's super excited about how far he's come and how programming helped him attain a certain le

My gut's telling me this tool is going to be successful. But you'll definitely need to grow some thicker skin. Disregard skeptics (unless it's constructive criticism), keep building your product, and keep pushing. Good luck.

I'm reluctant to reference a scene from a film because it seems too cliche. But it's analogically relevant so here it is (Matrix: Neo vs Morpheus): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j82GKTgVDkw (check the relevant qu

Sorry but I must be blunt... What do people expect for < $8/mo service? Should DO spend a few man hours to fix the issue at hand (abuse or not) and very much burn the 7 months worth of service income from this account? This is an un

Deploying Varnish is like cheating but in a good way. Varnish isn't a set-and-forget cache proxy. It requires a well thought out VCL and a good deal of attention and maintenance. So the saying not all VCLs are created equal applies i

Does anyone remember their acquisition of TimesTen? I've used it in production (HF trading) but it didn't seem to gain that much broad traction. Is this just TimesTen in a SPARC-packaged bundle? Perhaps IBM's plan to sell &#x

The long term fix boils down to increasing prices, adding setup fees, or adjusting pricing of older equipment. Either way pricing needs to be adjusted (pricing failure or lack of pricing foresight). There's no way to successfully enfor

First advice: max your 401k. That's selfish. That's what Wall Street wants you to do. Reality is whomever manages the funds has only one short-term goal in mind: year end bonus. It's very common for traders to move on shortly

It comes from latin or the french verb decimer. If you break it further it becomes cime, which means top (ex: as in top of a mountain). So you're essentially destroying that which is as high as a mountain top - not easily attainable.

This doesn't make sense. It can't be. Why would cryptography be subject to export regulations then? If we follow this logic, you would think export barriers would have been brought down decades ago and use of NSA cryptography high

I run a similar business (fully managed though). I know for certain that hardware and bandwidth costs are the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Remember there's also colocation, power, contracts, networking equipment (2x10G), and DDoS cos

There's the people aspect in all of this. What's reasonable pay for a good sysadmin/programmer hybrid? 70k - 100k/yr? How many do you need to keep things running smoothly and build new tools? How many do you need full ti

IBM closed on Softlayer a few days ago. Not many people expect Softlayer to continue thriving the way it did over the years. But at the rate Softlayer grew it was apparent they were eyeing a quick exit (not too common in the dedi business)
