Yeah, this is Erlang: fib(0) -> 0; fib(1) -> 1; fib(N) -> fib(N-1) + fib(N-2).

Having recently run into some non-obvious crappy performance characteristics with I/O in Erlang, I'm curious if you have any pointers to docs or code that shows how to use Erlang I…

I'm curious, why would you write that game in Node now, if you already know Erlang? From my perspective, Erlang is a better fit than Node for all the problem domains that Node is g…

Weekends are forced vacation too. It'd be great if companies adopted a "floating weekends" policy too, for the same reasons I outlined, but no company I've come across seems to do …

Forced vacation isn't freedom. If August isn't a convenient time to take a vacation, and the employee would rather work, let them work and take that chunk of time off at some other…

There's actually 5 charging stations that Tesla installed on the 101 between SF and LA. If we got serious about electric cars, higher charging station density would help with long …

FWIW, the longest stretch of interstate without services is I-70 in Utah, at 106 miles. I don't think I-80 has any >100 mile stretches without gas, but possibly 80 mile stretches. …

Reasonably good presentation, but this stuck out at me: > One team that started with Erlang and moved to Java so they could find programmers. Think about those scenarios. If the pe…

I've also used private ETS tables for this.

Kayak's got them now actually, but only schedules, not prices.

git ls-remote will help you to get the hash of HEAD. It's much cheaper than doing a zero-depth clone.

Yeah, here's a paper on that topic: http://www.sussex.ac.uk/linguistics/documents/where_do_mama2...

I've noticed that sorted sets have noticeably more overhead than the other types.

T-Mobile is fine in the mission in my experience.

http://www.thinkwiki.org/ is a good resource for figuring out Linux compatibility. I also recommend Thinkpads. The T and W series are good too.

Careful with casting strings to ints like that, it'll break on architectures that require aligned accesses, i.e. if you try to load a uint32, the address of the memory location mus…

Yeah, but tweets aren't limited to the GSM 7-bit character set, so if you tweet in say, Russian, 140 characters is too much, because the whole message needs to be encoded using 2-b…

Not to impugn on your care packages, but if your friend wants such more often, there's a store in San Jose that sells them: http://www.aussieproducts.com/contactus.asp (They do mos…

It's interesting Kogi BBQ is mentioned, because that to me is an example of the dysfunction around Twitter. Twitter started out as an SMS service, yet these days they cannot reliab…

> Even the editor of Bon Appetit wrote about it, How many other food trucks do you think she writes about? Major PR score! That's probably more due to the fact that Kogi made the N…

> Yep with -arch i386 it appears to work but the profiling info it returns is all zeroed. That's the story of OS X since from when it was first released. For example, you'd have so…

Traffic in SOMA is a lot less around evening rush hour, because there isn't a mess of cars backed up on the streets leading up to the I-80 enterance. Traffic is worse , however, ar…
