Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. Modern databases store all kinds of data. From trivial to highly sensitive. The restaurants we frequent, our map locations, our identity credentials, (e.g., Social Security Numbers, Addresses, Medical Records, Banking info, etc...), and everything in between is more than likely stored in a database somewhere. No wonder data is so valuable. Database technologies advance at a breakneck pace. Innovation, progression, integrity, and enhancements abound are at the forefront as a direct result of the labors of intelligent and devoted engineers, developers, and robust communities supporting those vendors. Yet there is another side to the coin. That, unfortunately, ... Read More

While Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) captures a lot of host metrics, it currently falls short providing per-process information, such as which particular process uses a lot of CPU resources, causes Disk IO or consumes a lot of memory. In our database performance optimization and troubleshooting practice, this information ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Peter Prevos. Euler problem 144 has been one of the most fun to solve. The underlying problem is the pathway of the reflection of a laser inside an ellipse-shaped mirror. Before I delve into this problem, I like to share this delightful video from Numberphile in which Alex Bellos demonstrates an elliptical billiards table. The billiards problem is mathematically equivalent to the laser problem. The reflection rule optics is the same as the bouncing rule in mechanics, but instead of using light, we use a billiard ball. This article outlines my solution to Euler problem 104 and ... Read More
