    I think you guys are talking on different tracks here. jsprinkles brings up a genuine concern. However, he goes ahead and calls your skill unmatched in your domain and I respect th…

    Why did mongodb drop 30 docs from its index? Did PG drop any? Does this not matter?

    This is my biggest concern. This means that whenever you want to run a simple HTTP server, you need a signed certificate. Well, thats a huge hassle. So its likely shortcuts will be…

    Spot on. However, I cant think of a single achievement which was not created from unfiltered group brainstorming. Then again, I do things differently.

    Its clear, closures actually solve the problem of random array access in high level languages. You are either after 1 value or all of them. These are 2 very easily optimized access…

    Honestly, these are quite possibly some of the most incoherent arguments I have ever seen: "At least, I'm assuming that he's including these companies in his false-nostalgia..." - …

    I like. Word splitting is very interesting. Today, 2012, I would be hard pressed to provide a reason to use this technique. Splitting an index is a classic complexity/resource trad…

    SPDY is here to increase efficiency between browser and server (this is sometimes called scaling). 'Dynamic network typologies' as presented is moving the network routing stack to …

    Nothing. You are correct in missing an important part of this discussion.

    You arent seeing the bigger picture here. If you choose this level of efficiency, after getting dropped off at work, 'your car' will simply locate the next closest customer. If you…

    I didnt really pay much attention to the points regarding commenting style because it seemed like the real point here was the direction java was going in the late 2000's (or more i…

    I like the self awareness here but I kind of cringed at some of the points made by the author. LMAX is definitely a counter to the one size/approach/design/trend fits all thinking …

    So you are saying that adhering to memory bounds and limits (and possibly SLAs) should be ignored in favor of having your software crash because its easier? Sure, I can see it as a…

    Great write up. You really nail the essence of a true data driven approach (DDA) to solving problems. Simplification of the data world view can lead to great things. The key to you…

    Zeke was my theory and algorithms prof in college. Kind of hard to wrap your head around these sort of problems.

    That would only be a risk if we were talking about a typical high school multiple choice test. I would think that a cheater would be filtered out by this point in their career (thi…

    For me, this blog post represents a step backwards. They open up saying that the 1 hour interview provides absolutely no indication of how well a prospective candidate will perform…

    I thought this was very well written and clear. These authors bring up a very valid point. Not really sure if the web can reinvent itself. Java applets and Flash both failed along …

    Is it me or is it a growing trend that 'academic' papers are omitting their publish date. Its frustrating to read a paper without this context.

    This makes me really excited about the future of the 'desktop' ( => tablet). Microsoft has really nailed it in terms of user experience and performance. This is a good example of o…

    Right, the justification here is a bit blurry. The framework they present is pretty much J2EE redux. If you are going to take this angle, stick with Tomcat and its huge enterprise …
