Re:Managed services killed DevOps on Friday April 08, 2016 @01:02PM (#11456133)
Devops is dying. And the secret weapon is not mentioned in the article (Docker). With Docker and a scheduler (swarm, kubernetes, etc), what are you going to use Chef or Ansible for? Just to install Docker on a Linux instance? Docker is just getting started, and we can already see that they are going to make a lot of tools and companies obsolete.

Re:Stop Buying Real Estate in SF on Thursday January 14, 2016 @02:47PM (#10903906)
The article isn't about buying vs renting. It's about buying real estate in the Bay Area as an investment. The bottom line is that if you have money to invest you should invest it in something else because it's too risky right now, especially if you are already exposed to the risk by working in tech in the Bay Area.
Re:CloudFlare enabling free SSL by mid-October on Thursday August 07, 2014 @06:28PM (#8150445)
I'm using a VPN (tunnelbear) and I can access my website that's behind cloudflare
I also saw a broken like button on my website, and profile pictures were not loading 5 min ago.
Good job on the website, simple, looks great!

Quick question, I bought a memory foam mattress 2 years ago and I regret it every day... I'm a 'hot sleeper', I fixed the 'waking up sweating' problem with a cotton mattress protector but it's still too hot.

Would I have the same problem with your foam mattress?

Re:Show HN: Followshows – Never miss an episode again on Sunday February 10, 2013 @12:46AM (#5195571)
followshows developer here. I just added a "new tv shows" page: http://followshows.com/new-tv-shows

We need to find a way to be more proactive when adding new shows to our database, we're on it.

hum, might be because of this? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5185440 (#1 on HN right now)
maybe the PhoneGap website should make it more obvious that it is a bad idea to use jQuery Mobile instead of listing it on its Tools page: http://phonegap.com/tools/page/2/
performance issue, all this javascript code has to be parsed by the application before it is able to execute it. So you might end up parsing 95% of jquery/jquery mobile code that your application won't use.
Re:Loading half a billion rows into MySQL on Tuesday June 05, 2012 @05:50PM (#4071147)
"MySQL Partitioning. We decided against it because it seemed likely that it wouldn’t be much faster than our current solution."

What if you partition by HASH(user_id) instead of partitioning by month (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/partitioning-hash.htm...)?

Re:Goodbye global lock – MongoDB 2.0 vs 2.2 on Wednesday May 23, 2012 @05:29PM (#4015408)
Try ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN on a 100 million rows table :).

Jeremy Zawodny from Craigslist explained why it helped them a lot for Craigslist archives database, where an alter table could take up to 24 hours: http://www.10gen.com/presentations/mongosf2011/craigslist
