If you’ve upgraded from MySQL 5.1 to a newer version (5.5?  5.6? 5.7?)  Mark Leith shows you why you should turn on performance_schema. Roland Bouman gave us Common_Schema to help improve the SQL user experience.   Mark now lets us look inward at the IO latency to improve the system.
Mark has developed a great set of views and procedures to work with performance_schema that can give you things like:
A list all statements who’s average runtime, in microseconds, are the top 5% slowest
statements that use have done a full table scans
Find indexes that have had no events against them (and hence, no usage)
Show the top disk IO consumers by bytes usage by file
You’ll need to start mysql with the command line –performance_schema option or add performance_schema=on to your my.cnf and restart the server.  Then download the lattest 5.5 or 5.6 code from Mark’s page and import it.
 mysql < ps_helper_56.sql
Now you’re ready to learn things like:
mysql> SELECT * FROM statements_with_errors_or_warnings;

Today’s big news, courtesy of Quartz, is about the expiration of laser sintering patents that will change the face of 3D printing in 2014. In short, the reason “good” 3D printers – namely the ones that create solid, injection-molded style pieces – aren’t cheap or readily available is that older 3D printing companies have held the laser sintering process hostage. For example, the Form One printer by Form Labs infringes on these patents even though they detail a printer that uses a laser to fuse fine powder to create an object and the Form One uses a liquid.
