I have had a number of contracts where my entire job was to fix the performance problems introduced by using a ORM. ORMs add a layer of complexity to your code and a huge risk of r…

Amazingly informative and well written - clearly lays out some of the really silly things that companies often do.

Be aware that Redis runs on OpenBSD and OpenBSD fixed this problem 10+ years ago. See: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=118296441702631&w=2

Tomorrow I will swim with fish. Today it is stormy and we are safely tucked in a protected harbor. I program when the weather is bad and swim when it is good.

Right now I am sitting on a Sailboat in the Bahamas.

That world is not completely gone! I use VI to connect to amazon AWS servers over a satellite link. It is faster than 1200 baud but with horrible latency. VI is the only editor tha…

I just finished implementing BrowserID in an application that I am building. It is quick and easy to use. Perhaps 20 minutes to get it to work. I used OpenID before. OpenID is anno…

This article has the best summary of what the different social functions Facebook, Tmblr and Twiter provide.

I just finished coding a web service in both Java, PHP, and node.js. Java took 1848 lines of code. PHP 548. Node 201. In my tests Node uses much less CPU and has way better perform…

There is no problem to fix - JavaScript is the 2nd best language. LISP is better. KnR C is 3rd. No good language is easy to learn and understand.

Not all of the founders do the same amount of work or contribute the same. One found is both working on the software and investing.
