Marge: Homer, it's easy to criticize. Homer: Fun, too. Also, Fromt TFA: NOTE: In no way should you assume that I am proposing this is a "real world" experiment. It is exploration. Just open musing about what could be, not a doctoral research paper published in Nature to get my Ph.D. Not a paper to a medical journal on a new cancer treatment. This is a blog with me talking about stuff I'm interested in. Adjust your expectations accordingly.

Why would anyone read that far into the article. Here's how you comment on one of my articles if you want to karma whore with the neckbeard crew: 1. Skim through my post to see if there's any inflamatory headings, if there are stop there and just complain about that. Especially if there's a curse word. Extra points if you can demand I be banned for cursing. 2. Jump to the end where I have a little conclusion, and take it out of context, then come here and say my conclusion is wrong. Extra points if you mention "latency" or "cache lines" or that it would all be better if written in Haskell or Clojure. 3. Now start reading, but only read to find the first thing you can take out of context and say is wrong. Doesn't matter if I say it's wrong, or have a reason for doing it, all that matters is the sweet quote you can pump into a comment here for no real feedback value. Extra points if this comment mixes #1 and #2. 4. If all else fails, call me an asshole, cock, bile spewing turd, or many other things I have never called you. Usually there's a cabal of people who hate me and will get their pants tight over that so you'll have friends. Interestingly enough, I write my articles so people who do these things look like idiots. For example, I know someone is going to scan through looking for a juicy quote that proves I was testing on localhost (like that's some unforgivable sin). That's why I put several comments about how I didn't care and was just confirming I didn't break anything after that quote. Or I make headlines that are inflammatory so people who don't read get caught commenting on how that's all the blog is. Or I make my conclusions hard to disconnect from the main article. It's really just a huge game really, so have fun with it. I know I do. :-)

  I'm (internally) trying to be equitable to all sides in this whole poll/epoll deba(te|cle) but really it does seem that many, many people aren't actually reading the articles they purport to be commenting on. It's frustrating and disappointing.

  Fuck that! I was totally going to use mongrel2 to write my distributed internet operating system / facebook replacement / iPad app ( I'm this close to getting a post on Techcrunch about it, which means $FUNDING$!! ) . Unfortunately, I occasionally disagree with your opinions, therefore your technology is suspect. Maybe you would program better if you blogged about stuff I agreed with or evangelized my tech pick du jour. Or maybe if you wrote a monad tutorial, I hear thats what all the ninja rockstars are doing these days. Also, swears make baby steve jobs cry. C'mon, this is the internet, you can't just say anything you want!

  I read the entire thing. I mentioned it because you're having ghosts in your data, and you and I know the lack of separation between your test and your software is the #1 candidate for a culprit.
