I think that's just sloppy error handling, which is lame and unprofessional, but that's like saying you dislike Python because of all the stack traces.

I like Go specifically because it is boring. I really enjoy the simplicity of it, which makes it easy to read and understand the core packages. I feel like the language doesn't try to do too much and gets out of my way so I can conce

Not the parent, but perhaps apps that require a high degree of concurrency, or apps that need to eke out all the performance of the CPU cores? For me Go is more attractive than Python on the RasPi because there is no GIL limiting concurrenc

I think they've been wanting to get this patch into OpenSSH for years, but for whatever reasons it just never happened. I assumed it was a community patch, but it was actually written by Darren Tucker, who is an OpenSSH dev. There was

I was saddened to read the release notes that state: "OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol 2.0 implementation... " This bug[0] calling out the fact that OpenSSH doesn't implement section 6.9 of RFC 4254 (which allows you

As a somewhat unrelated aside, as a Logic Pro user I thought it was odd to read Logic described as "memory hungry". For my small projects (16-32 tracks) logic uses just under 1G. For me it's Logic's CPU hunger that turns

I wish that there was a way of getting Logic X to output a list of changes you've made during a session. When I collaborate with my bandmate, I often struggle to describe all the changes I've made since he passed me the project. I

This creative limitation forced folks to engage in pithy, and sometimes snarky commentary. It is both boon and burden.

Back in the day, using a slow modem or teletype, discard (flush output) was super important, but several years back when I hooked up an actual Wyse dumb terminal to a Linux box I was dismayed to discover that it's actually not implemen

Fun trick: If somebody is watching you type in your login password or SSH pubkey password, spaz wildly on the keyboard, frantically typing random characters, and then hit ^U and type in your real password. Then you give them a puzzled look

Wait, hold the phone, are you telling me by migrating to Postgres I can shave a handful of system calls off my long-running i/o bound logical backups!? Oh Postgres, is there anything you can't do better than MySQL?

by spudlyo 10y ago
Sadly at present Postgres has absolutely awful mysqldump support (It's not even on their roadmap) so I doubt it would be a good fit for Pinterest's environment.

I found this article very unsatisfying due to the lack of key details. This reads like a blog post tailored for an audience of folks with pointy hair. As far as I can tell, they went from Hadoop mappers pulling logical backups from the DBs

by spudlyo 10y ago
Why are these academic types analyzing bugs in MySQL!? Is there a reason they didn't choose PostgreSQL, or is it just because these studies were all done in 2009 and 2010? Surely if the analysis would have been done in 2016 they would

Can verify, still a thing. There is even a fun saying that goes with it. "Normalize until it hurts, denormalize until it works."

The oft repeated performance reason is that hardware RAID controllers have battery backed write cache, which really improves durable write performance; something traditional relational DBs do quite a lot of. Also, these machines were built

I worked at a company that migrated to SSDs on hundreds of HP ProLiant servers. The performance was great, it really improved our DB latency. Unfortunately the RAID 1+0 setup that was carried over from the spinning rust setup didn't wo
