I've been there before. I recently came across Jamis Buck's talking about his experience https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71suekjBV9Y and I strongly recommend it. If only to hear so…

There is a big difference. You're only considering the "slowness" from the application perspective of querying a table without the index. You need to also realize that database ser…

Yeah. See https://github.com/github/gh-ost/issues/507#issuecomment-338... on how to do it in a performant way.

> which causes MySQL to copy the whole table This is wrong on a couple levels. First it doesn't copy the whole table: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-create-index-..…

We use gh-ost at Harvest[1] and it's a dream in comparison to manually migrating on a replica and switching master/slave roles [2]. Also the linked post[3] in the readme hit us ver…

No. https://githubengineering.com/gh-ost-github-s-online-migrati... has an excellent section on why triggers fail (at least in the MySQL world. I imagine the locking story is simil…

I recently wrote about changing the Primary Key as a way to organize/cluster the data on disk for better query performance (MySQL, unsharded environment). http://techtime.getharves…

75% of Harvest is remote and we're almost always looking for more great folks. Nearly all of our development team is remote. https://www.getharvest.com/careers https://www.getharve…

It took some time for me wrap my brain the restrictions around the EPL while I was picking up clojure, but I don't understand how EPL would be frustrating to other developers or bu…

Just throwing my voice into the chorus, I know nothing about category theory either, and I don't think that hinders learning Haskell. I do think there is a subset of Haskellers who…

I'm not sure which issues you're running into, but for what it's worth, I've had a lot better success using the newer cabal sandboxes[1] than just running `cabal install foo` all t…

I'm all for more posts like this and I hope we see more. I think it helps tear down the misconception that Haskell is only for people who do a ton of research beforehand.

The post links to this page http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Heterogenous_collections and one of other solutions is to use existential types to do it. But the author even said: H…

This has come up a couple times. I wouldn't mind this topic moving it to github so the conversation doesn't get lost. And others can contribute to it long after this gets buried on…

If you're a ruby developer I strongly encourage you to check out the source code and parsing in general. This is heavily using parslet [1] to build a css parser [2]. I'm sure there…

css-ratiocinator [1] is also another tool someone mentioned to me after I launched cssscss. [1] https://github.com/begriffs/css-ratiocinator and http://www.csstrashman.com/

Just shelling out to shut up any random guy with a dropbox account or even be bullied into responding publicly to said random guy. That's pride talking. Pick and choose your battle…

OP has explained his side, which is compelling. JPEGmini tweeted "You have only seen one side of the story" https://twitter.com/jpegmini/status/222433391025459200 At what point doe…

Jeremy Keith's talk and resulting long bet on the topic is interesting. He contends that it's not proven that data put on the internet is in fact immortalized. - http://vimeo.com/3…

I had this problem years ago against the Twitter API. It took a shot of rum and a cigarette before I figured it out. And I'm not a smoker.

Context: My day job has been coding Ruby for years, and I'm a big fan of Haskell. Someone was asking me about my thoughts on static vs dynamic. And I realized that I have two reaso…
