runrunblue 在丽江

November 12th, 2007 admin No comments

 runrunblue是一个两年多前放弃了北京新京报社的工作到丽江开起了客栈, 并且现在仍然在丽江开着一个手工作坊的传奇女子.

原名江海蓝, 很大气的名字. 我很想这次去丽江时去看看她, 虽然我不知道该和她说什么. 也许她的太聪明会更加彰显我的愚笨. 或许她内心不羁会令我不知如何去接近.  我只是想, 交个朋友而已.

她的opera blog, 据她说在国内已经封了.
http://my.opera.com/runrunblue/blog/

她把opera上的文章都转到这里:
http://runrunblue.blog.hexun.com/

这里是她现在写blog的地方, 也是她们手工作坊的网站.

这是她在opera上最后更新的一篇日志:

愚蠢的善良和文化的想象

我见识过真诚的信仰。
也见识过无聊的信仰。
还见识过无耻的信仰。
如果说,这三种信仰至少名称都是一样,那么,不得不叫人怀疑信仰的必要性……成为一种虚伪的代名词,如果你们用信仰来掩盖愚昧无知和罪恶感的话。
当我用对信仰的向往推翻现实生活,希望重建的时候,我一半是海水,一半是火焰。
当我用现实生活推翻对信仰的向往,恍然大悟的时候,我一半是海水,另一半还是海水。
有人说,看来,你已经重建了你的信仰。
呵呵,这真有趣。
什么是直面呢?
老朋友问我去不去德格。
我说大概去不了。
他急需神的力量,也许是重温,也许是疗伤。
但是,我已经不再信仰信仰。
所以,自然不会再羡慕,再探求。
很多东西我无法用语言表述,只是深深的,深深的,深深的,理解了故人的悲喜——当他,身处其中的时候。
我想,那种无望与悲悯,真的无法言语。只能深深的,深深的,深深的,孤独。
因此,把石头还给石头
让胜利的胜利
今夜青稞只属于他自己
一切都在生长
我着急做的,是托人送去临晨能买到的最好的青稞酒二锅头和香烟——甚至已经忘了故人是否抽烟,不过那不重要,重要的是,还好,不要孤伶伶,不要太冷清,尘世的烟火,还有一抹是围绕在他的身边。
尽管如此,我仍然得出结论:
愚蠢的善良和文化的想象无法治疗精神病……好比毛泽东思想治疗精神病沦为笑柄一样。
所以,并不值得。
所幸,不经历,又怎么能够明白。
有一次,去一个导演朋友家里看DVD,《二楼传来的歌声》。记得其中有一个镜头,枯瘦如柴的老人躺在摇篮一样的小床上,从床边栅栏伸出干枯的双手。
看完整部电影之后,我对朋友说,如果我是导演,就把这个镜头剪在最后。
这部充满20世纪末深层情绪的电影,距离表达点过去了7年。
对电影导演有过这样一次访谈:
C:在电影里有一种强烈的情绪,那就是在今天,物质至上主义已经破产了。
RA:在瑞典的某些领域――比如说我工作了很长时间的广告界――当你年轻的时候,你被推搡着去找一份好工作,挣很多钱,爬到顶层。10年以后你就会已经尝到苦果。我怎么度过那些时间的,我做了什么?我为什么要那么做?到四十岁的时候,他们就已经完了,让人看了悲伤。
C:与此同时,看起来你对宗教的安慰也不抱太大希望。我特别想到了那些大量生产的十字架上的基督,还有这样的台词,“你怎么能拿一个被钉上十字架的失败者挣钱呢?”
RA:我已经被批评在这一点上走得太远了。他们认为,对于瑞典来说,那太过分了。但我是捍卫耶稣基督的!这部电影展示了他是如何的被人错误利用了。他仅仅是一个迷信的符号。教会在经济上已经非常成功了,因为他们极其富有――但是他们并未成功的传播见证和诫律,耶稣似乎只是一个产品。

7年过去了。
我想起这部电影,仿佛听到二楼传来的歌声……不是福音,不是摇滚乐,一切毫无改变,而一切似乎又都已经匆匆流逝了。
最近太忙了,晚安。

Cache strategy

Cache strategy

From Meta

Jump to: navigation, search

The description following is from March 2005. Since then the following changes have happened:

  • More database servers, now with 16GB of RAM
  • More memcached
  • Server names and roles constantly change, those mentioned are the ones that happened to be in use at the time.

The caching architecture is the same.


Wikimedia uses several levels of caching to improve site performance:

  • Squid cache servers handle about 78% of requests, almost all which are made by viewers who are not logged in to the site. During load surges from media mentions, the Squids handle almost all of the traffic. First use of Squid was in 2 February 2004 (see Cache bugs for early issues).
  • Memcached is used to save web pages which have been parsed, so that step doesn’t need to be carried out repeatedly. This adds about 7% to the overall cache hit rate for pages. As of 19 September 2004 34 instances each of 180MB are in use: 12 on Yongle, 6 on Bart and Bayle, 2 on Isidore and Moreri and one each on dalembert, Tingxi, Alrazi, Friedrich, Harris and Avicenna for a total of 6120MB. It also caches login session IDs and user interface text in the various languages.
  • APC on the Apache web servers is used for PHP caching to improve the performance of the web servers. PHP is normally compiled into bytecode when run, this saves much of the CPU overhead of continually recompiling the same code.
  • The database servers have large caches:
    • Ariel has 8GB of RAM total and 5.8GB is used for InnoDB caching, giving a hit rate over 99%. The remaining RAM is used for in-memory sorting, temporary tables used in SQL query processing and buffering of non-InnoDB table types.
    • Suda, the former master and now fallback master and general database slave has 4GB available for caching, as does Bacon, a query slave.
  • Ariel has a RAID controller with a 64MB battery-backed cache to help disk performance. This is particularly significant for database transaction log entries, which are very regularly written to disk. This cache allows the RAID controller to say that a write has completed without having to wait for the disks to actually write the data.

[edit] Load balancing

In June 2004 the load was balanced with:

  • Round robin DNS distributed page requests evenly to one of three Squid cache servers.
  • Squid cache servers used response time measurements to distribute page requests between seven web servers. In addition, the Squid servers cached pages and delivered about 75% of all pages without ever asking a web server for help.
  • The PHP scripts which run the web servers distribute load to one of several database servers depending on the type of request, with updates going to a master database server and some database queries going to one or more slave database servers.
