I hope you're right, but I think that'd be more likely to happen if Twitter didn't already provide all the coffee and food that their people might want. There really isn't a reason to leave the office during the day.

You make it sound like this is easy. WP (and associated plugins) make extensive use of cookies, and by design, Varnish will not cache pages with cookies. For me, dealing with problem was pretty painful and took me much longer than I thou

Amazon acquired Junglee in 1998. Folks from that acquisition went on to work on the Amazon recommendation system.

For me, the Bootstrap-101 videos got me from "wtf do I do with this thing" to "oh, I get it now". The pacing was a bit slow for me, but overall I got a lot from the videos. http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/tutorials/complete-websites/tw...

I love the watch command too. I really enjoy it with -d (delta or differences) which will highlight what changed since the last run.

I too am bothered by the photos "ending up" somewhere. What I'd prefer is that batch.com just cached my photos for a time, and after they fell out of the cache they'd have to get them again from me. In the future, serving data off your ph

I dropped out over 20 years ago, and while not 'wildly' successful, I'm happily successful. I have no regrets, I never wonder how things would have been different, and I don't feel like an impostor. Your mileage may vary. If you're passio

Stallman's comments remind me a bit of Malcom X's comments regarding JFK's death. The lesson is the same, you're going to anger and alienate a lot of people unless you keep your tone respectful when criticizing a recently deceased beloved

I'm deeply and unexpectedly saddened by the news. Recently while taking a cab from SFO into the city I monitored our progress on the iPhone maps app, and had a profound feeling that I was living in the future I had dreamed about as a kid.

That's not my take on it. Their old PostgreSQL system was largely monolithic, they needed something that scaled well horizontally, so they went with MySQL. Makes perfect sense to me. PostgreSQL has many, many strengths over MySQL, but his

I think the confusion here is based on the difference between "multi-master" replication and "master-master" replication. MySQL doesn't support the former, where a machine can be a slave of more than one master, but it does support (like y

I'm having a really hard time refraining from writing a really snarky "Switch to MySQL" type response, not because I think that MySQL outperforms PostgreSQL, but because there is always somebody on every MySQL article discussion who does

innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 0 This is cheating, you've effectively disabled the 'D' in ACID; you aren't doing an fsync() at every commit.

We do understand why this problem is happening. The algorithm that takes the nice fast (but limited in size) sequential log writes and tries to intelligently write them (mostly randomly) in the background to the data/index blocks where the

It gives you better performance provided: * You're not talking to a SAN or a virtual disk device. * You use a filesystem that allows concurrent updates to O_DIRECT opened files, like XFS.

That's what I thought too. There are a lot of weird problems that can happen due to NUMA architecture issues. Reading the numactl for me really drives home just how much I don't understand it. http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man8/numactl.8.

Is your database extremely write heavy? You don't usually see this problem in a more balanced read/write workload. Postgres has in the past suffered from stalls and lockups that can happen at checkpoint intervals, but it appears they most

by spudlyo 15y ago
It's not. The adaptive flushing algorithm has improved over the various versions, but checkpointing has been the cause of performance stalls for a long time. Here is an early bug report of the problem from 2006. http://bugs.mysql.com/bug

XFS gets some things right. As far as I know it's one of the few Linux filesystems that doesn't serialize writes to O_DIRECT opened files, which is why it's very popular for databases.

Most shell scripts are a collection of undeclared external dependencies. You can't really rely on sed, awk, and grep to behave the same way on Linux as they do on Solaris or AIX. It seems like if you're concerned with portability, you shou
