Cool. Thanks for organizing this. I'd be interesting in presenting what we do with Redis at Craigslist if you're interested.

True. My fattest pipe is a mere 5Mbit at this point (I live out in the boonies).

I do exactly this using a Soekris box running pfSense. It's a godsend. Seriously. Perhaps I should blog about the setup as some point.

I'm guessing you'd be surprised by the number of people that still suffer from typing latency issues. Not everything is <20ms away, sadly.

VirtualBox should serve you well.

Yes. 1000 times Yes.

I am not a lawyer but I know where the TOS lives: http://www.craigslist.org/about/terms.of.use

Understood. It can't hurt to ask.

Cool. Want a job at craigslist? (I work on search there.)

Yes. 100 times yes.

Having use flot for stuff like this, what do you see as the main benefits for your library? Looking over the docs, I'd guess "simplicity" since it seems pretty easy to get going. Similarly, are there many plans for enhancements, or is that

That earlier discussion is part of what sparked this (craigslist) donation, FWIW. (I work there)

Excellent. I've been considering doing something similar for our Sphinx indexes at Craigslist. Glad to see it works as well as I might have hoped.

I really hope (for Yahoo's sake) this happens. About half a year before I left, Yahoo turned down the offer from Microsoft that was in the $30/share range. I couldn't believe it. http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2008/feb08/02-01c

Very well said. I was going to write something like that but don't have to. Yay for up votes!

As soon as I find the down vote button, I'll cast my... oh, wait. Damnit!

Indeed. Google is starting to show signs of Yahooizing itself. And that's really sad.

Hm. We haven't had the same experience. In the last 3+ years, I recall 1 unplanned outage that could be blamed on "the data center"

I'm interested too... Jeremy@Zawodny.com (since I've considered writing such a beast myself like a dozen times)

Have you ever used a Chiropractor?

I wonder the same and am having a tough time deciding which to take (or both).

Agreed. https://github.com/cosimo/TicketServer/pulls

Hmm. I see "ENGINE=MyISAM" in the code. Nowadays I can't stomach using MyISAM for anything I care about not having some sort of corruption. Given sufficient time and scale, I've seen far too many issues with MyISAM. It'd be great to be a

Uhm. The data goes back that far but the usage is far more recent than that.

In my 8.5 years working there, the "mission" of Yahoo that I came away with is to try to be everything to everyone--poorly.

As joshu said, well put. You hit the nail on the head. Of course, there was also a serious lack of vision and real leadership at the top as well, but that wouldn't matter with all the middle managers getting in the way.

I used to work in Search at Yahoo! and can say that you are correct.

Perhaps the videos and slides I linked in the comments (all previously published on my blog as well) help in that department?
