This is pretty well covered in this presentation: http://www.slideshare.net/fehguy/migrating-from-mysql-to-mon... A few unanswered questions (sharding? Looks like none to me), but a good bit of numbers and specifics on their current setup

Using a combo of the append-only file[1] and a redis slave[2] you'll get about the best durability one can ask for in today's world (assuming you're aware of the gotchas with regard to expiring keys — an edge case). [1] http://code.google.

What do you want to learn from your analytics? Remember that Google Analytics is just a tool — the hardest part of using a tool "efficiently" is asking the right questions, and right now it sounds like you don't have any questions.

I think you should probably work a bit more on why your service is going to be better than your competitors. More than one competitor existing isn't really a great business plan. Imagine if Pepsi's marketing campaign revolved around "Becaus

I'm curious where you see any limits for legitimate usage on GitHub. Or perhaps I've made this blurb on our pricing page ambiguous? http://share.kyleneath.com/captures/Plans___Pricing_-_GitHub... I'd love to hear how I could improve it. E

Kind of bummed they seem to have gone the exact opposite of what I was expecting. I want to choose the folders (that live anywhere) to sync, I don't want to not sync some stuff in my Dropbox folder. But such is the life of a technical use

http://twictur.es/ started doing this ages ago. I use Propane ( http://propaneapp.com ) and before 37s added styled tweets it used to automatically generate them. I'd love to see twitter support this natively. I know I saw a js version th

Luckily you only need little less than 17,000 people at $5/mo. Not 200k.

I doubt he's walking away from much equity at all. He's been with Twitter a long time. If he isn't 100% vested, he's got to be pretty close.

As I recall, your account got suspended because of this and suddenly became extremely apologetic when you realized you needed your account for work the next day. There's a big difference between a security hole and acting like a jackass.

I have to ask, if your total combined space is 50MB, why did you choose disk space as the axis of comparison across all these hosts?

I know that the author says this is a high level overview... but the extra features that DVCS hosting companies add on top of repository hosting is practically the entire value-add of using a repository hosting site vs. setting up your o

I think you'd be wise to talk to a lot of people that work at these companies. A huge portion of Apple/Yahoo/Google employees live in the city or some equally far-away place in the East Bay. Each of these companies (and others) send in f

Absolutely fantastic. I hope one day to be able to get into a hissy fit with one of my co-workers and just stop working for a year (but still get paid).

I've found that I fall into the "not playing with enough money" camp. The difference between the "gotta start somewhere" attitude of software development is trading costs money. I found I was consistently making 20-30% returns, but after t

Exactly. There just isn't browser support for clipboard access right now. However, it's not like clippy has any impact on CPU performance or usability (it's only added functionality, not blocking content for people w/o flash) so there's re

Funny that SO now has more traffic than EE, but doesn't seem to be making (any?) money while EE is still raking in millions. I guess what's even more interesting is that Experts Exchange was in this exact position some years ago. Everythi

I can say without hesitation mercurial or git will be insanely faster for these operations. Remember, you work locally, and then push with hg/git. So when you do "git commit" it only relies on the speed of your hard drive/cpu. Commits ha
