tuna | 8 years ago | on: How a fix in Go 1.9 sped up our Gitaly service by 30x
Pretty sure that using stdlib and trying to limit shell script in Go would help performance. Case in point, forking "du":

PV vs HVM woes

this field was studied and explored in the 90s by University of Wu-Tang Clan in their seminal paper C.R.E.A.M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBwAxmrE194
tuna | 8 years ago | on: Why PostgreSQL is better than MySQL
2017 and my dude still trying to sell consulting by applying the old emacs vs vim strategy. I usually defer to facebook using thousands of mysql and other big companies using way more instances of pgsql for day to day advice. Maybe next time, with a better blog or a matrix with some effective info noting the experience you guys have managing/developing against it. Also the patch for MySQL would be appreciated, why it did took you so long ? xoxox
tuna | 8 years ago | on: Streams: a new general purpose data structure in Redis
Amazing ! nit: Change COUNT to LIMIT while it still time. Also can this primitive be used to replicate redis data instead of sentinel/cluster ?

tuna | 8 years ago | on: How HBO’s Silicon Valley Built “Not Hotdog” with TensorFlow, Keras and React Native
Nice write up that should become the go-to tutorial for TF and local training. Helped me a lot w/ the mobile part, it was a bit strange to thing about transfer the training when I read at first but it became clear in the second reading.

Is it from Silicon Valley (tv show) ?
tuna | 9 years ago | on: Amazon Lightsail 1GB Is No Match for $10 VPS from Linode, DO
Good call ! I think the value of lightsail is more of what you get along with it (S3, other products and a path to scale up) than the vps itself (which can be had by less than both aws and DO are charging on alternative providers). DO is hard to beat on iops but it has been years they are asked to release a loadbalancer or basic stuff you can horizontally scale your apps. Linode has that but their VMs seems to "age" faster than DO (in terms of losing performance after some time due to neighbours).
tuna | 10 years ago | on: Yahoo lays off 1,700 and is up for sale
Pipes was really cool. Their email still sought after (at least in latin america) for corporate customers. Perhaps a SaaS spin off with email, pipes, ecommerce search/recommendation and other cool tools they release all these years ?
tuna | 10 years ago | on: Are tarballs obsolete?
docker brought back the frenzy of delivering software in a tarball just like slackware in the past. Long live patrick volkerdig and tar -zxvf ... -C / !
tuna | 10 years ago | on: Locust – A modern load testing framework
My fave locust setup is spinning up aws instances to tests from time to time. I've created ansible automation to help on that (https://github.com/gleicon/locust-swarm) but it can be done manually. I still look on how to make it run casper.js tests but I think it would interfere with locust's performance.
tuna | 10 years ago | on: Z80 Symbos OS now has networking support on MSX
I don't know about this cp/m backport as MSX-DOS but can tell that CP/M programs ran unmoddified: dbase II and a texteditor I forgot the name were ported from TRS-80 and required a software driver to achieve 64 columns or an external card for 80 cols. In Brazil we have plenty of msx 1 and reverse engineered msx2 boards.

I wonder how long it will take to leak their data, spec those associated with facebook logins.Not surprised that they failed, it had plenty negative and offending posts and no cats/burgers/porn.
tuna | 11 years ago | on: Fired
You get these feelings even when you are not fired and going thru a bad period in your job etc. Loved that he is very articulated and honest, it makes for a nice piece to read and think again and again.
I'm sure he will get nicer gigs in the futures and wish the best of luck.
I just wonder - how do you get fired from a no-manager company ? A robot ? http://www.fastcolabs.com/3020181/open-company/inside-github...
tuna | 11 years ago | on: CSS changes that increased Reddit account creation by 200K yearly users
any way to check which ones are real people and which ones are bots creating accounts for some reason ? maybe their activity posting vs subreddit popularity... I guess you may be surprised.

tuna | 12 years ago | on: Bedrock: a modern WordPress stack
Any thoughts on creating docker images as alternative to capistrano ? There's a couple of projects that can help on it (a Dockerfile could help on it) Good job :)
