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 someone eloquently talk about going

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 server itself takes a load hit when it kicks off

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

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 very close to home. We originally tried some of our m

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 similar in postgresql). I don't work for Gi

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.getharvest.com/made-on-earth

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 businesses. Could you elaborate? As I understand it, as l

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 use category theory to prove certain ideas and they ar

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 the time. (If you're from the Ruby w

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: However, I don’t think this is a good

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 HN. My initial opinion is that even though your SCSS code i

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 are edge cases I have missed, but still the LOC for this co

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 battles. If you're going to pick this one, make it overwhelmingl

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.

Personally, I would have preferred a breadth-first approach to mathematics when I was in school. All of those concepts are related, but it's very difficult to make those connections when you are "only learning [algebra|geometry|etc]" in iso

His numbers are way off. 2M is not a "high" pre-money valuation--most startups nowadays raise a seed round at a 5-10M pre-money valuation. I'm not saying your statement is wrong, but am I the only one who thinks something is wrong here?

We use Github, iChat (but have been using Google Hangout more), Campfire. I'm a remote worker, so I have switched to tmux + console emacs (some guys prefer vim). That works much better than ScreenSharing and a typical GUI editor. I've check

I suspect most companies with remote workers don't fall in Choice 2 or 3. I believe most companies fall into a new class which is: employees are co-located, and a minority are remote. Speaking from experience on both sides of that coin (cur
