Sebastian Marshall? The liar who claimed to jump-kick gangsters? Hahahahahahahahaahaha

Hi. I'm Sebastian, and I don't lie very often, certainly not about ridiculous stuff. You're conflating two stories: 1. I had a mugging attempt in a bad part of Saigon (by the slums by the river after exploring) and I kicked one of the muggers in the stomach and shouted at the other. 2. I got into a shouting match with a gangster in a McDonald's who had been yelling at the employees and spat on the floor, and was othe…

On the day you delete that post I'll consider reading your blog again. Until then not a chance.

I actually liked that post, though I can see why Patrick didn't.

Joe Damato has a great albeit infrequently updated programming blog, http://timetobleed.com/ . I think he wrote the memprof ruby gem. Posts HN may really enjoy:

an obscure kernel feature to get more info about dying processes [1]

a presentation from some ruby conf, particularly slide set 2 which details how memprof works and talks about the abi, etc [2]

plus a bunch of discussion of profiling tools to look at exactly what gcc or your vm of choice are doing. Highly recommended.

Peter Cooper has three of them that are hard to beat: http://rubyweekly.com , http://javascriptweekly.com , and http://html5weekly.com . I'll plug mine as well: Hacker Newsletter - http://www.hackernewsletter.com , which is a product of what I said above. :)

I sadly found Peter's newsletters to be quite noisy for my taste, but I signed up for yours in a heartbeat. Thanks!

Noisy? Too many items? They have been growing over the months, admittedly, but there's a lot of noteworthy stuff happening :-)

Seconded with enthusiasm. Eric writes at great length about the detailed decisions that go into programming language design, especially revision of an existing language. Even though I should know better, I have been guilty at times of "how hard could it be" syndrome. Reading what Eric says has cured me of that disease. (for programming languages at least)
