MySQL vs PostgreSQL Schema changes benchmarks
The basic idea here is to substantiate the claims made by this square post:
http://corner.squareup.com/2011/06/postgresql-data-is-important.html
In PostgreSQL, and MySQL (MyISAM and InnoDB) I create millions of rows and then add
and remove columns and add and remove indexes. For columns without defaults this is
basically free in PostgreSQL and O(n) in MySQL. For adding indexes its at best O(n)
everywhere, but with PostgreSQL it claims not to do any locking that would otherwise
prevent table interaction.
Also, PostgreSQL has _awsome_ documentation (it has real examples!). I always get

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

This grabs URLs associated with the people you follow on Twitter and then tries to scrape RSS feeds from the URLs. You have to get OAUTH creds from dev.twitter.com/apps to do this, and then register the script so that you get the access_token + access_token_secret. Rev 2 actually produces valid OPML. ;)
