I hope the Chinese never get access to the Linux or BSD source code that runs my computers.

That was a lot cooler than I expected. I did a software-only one on my mac: http://dustin.github.com/2009/02/09/caps-lock.html

newsrob is the best thing ever. I read on public transit where I have typically 3G -- but all of the content is already local. That means that even when I pass through the black hole of Sunnyvale, I can read without interruption. I also h

Regarding function pointer arrays, I'm doing something in labrea ( http://github.com/dustin/labrea ) where I need to make what is effectively an FFI call from C to C where I know the number of arguments, and their types, but I have them in

It's kind of an anti-pattern, but I've found this to actually enhance clarity in a few places: int moved = (is_reading ? read : write)(fd, buf, len);

It's useful in that it lets you know that there's a conversation going on somewhere else when you're looking at the comments on the page. It might be enough to say, ``active conversation as of x [unit of time] ago over here: [link]''

VMs running on my box might not get a lot of CPU time, but will still get good IO performance. It's going a bit beyond just simple performance, too. For example, I can add logging of reads on client network file descriptors like this: htt

I don't believe I communicated clearly enough in the creation of this project. This is not ``Yay, I don't ever have to worry about any other computer because I can simulate anything.'' This is me sitting next to my QA guy (who really unders

I certainly do test on many different systems, but not all of them. This doesn't take the place of real-world testing. It takes the place of setting up a network and putting a modem between my client and server then attaching a tape drive

Sure, but then I have to carry around another computer or two when I want to work within a particular assumption. Now, I can say, ``What if this box were really slow to respond to network requests 10% of the time?'' and just do it.

I definitely had plenty of complaints (there's no way in the language to detect when a process exits, for example -- though you can at least build one yourself). I don't think LtU approval is necessary to have done something good. We need

I used go recently when I needed to write a test case when trying to exploit a specific suspected bug. https://github.com/dustin/gohammer It was successful in that I found it very easy to express what I wanted and make a concurrent app t

If you're going to try it, note that it requires iTunes 10.1 if you want to be able to use your iPad again.

If you're good, you can get a job in a matter of days. There's plenty of hiring out here all the time. We can't hire good programmers fast enough. I moved out here over ten years ago with pretty much no place to live and a small contracti

One thing that sucks about go in particular with UTF-8 symbol names is that the case of the name of the symbol is used to specify the scope of the symbol. In the following program, what public methods exist? package main import "

Why can't we model it like a real book? Even if they limit it to owner -> borrower -> owner, it'd be great to just not have time limits. A market will be created in any case.

This is mostly a java disease, though it affects a few other languages. In python, you wouldn't design this because you can change the implementation of the class without having to go and rewrite all the callers.

I do as well. I can take SMS on my own time, in my browser, and answer thoughtfully when I feel like it. The advocates of a "quick call" are really quite selfish. It may be quick for you , but it really sucks for me when I'm in a meeting

Android makes it pretty easy to use your voice to send an SMS. I use that to SMS while driving. It's not perfect , but it works well enough. Example: http://twitter.com/#!/dlsspy/status/25834585904

I get this sometimes. For me, it takes the right balance of something I'm excited about, having a lot to learn, and having drive from people whom I feel are pushing me in a direction that's better when I'm having trouble ramping up, but

Had you read the article, you would've seen ``I have an iPhone'' which makes your math exercise pointless. San Francisco is a particularly hostile environment for wireless devices. I've been to plenty of places where my bars are all lit up

Google Voice has done for my phone what TiVo did for my TV -- I no longer schedule around its whims. It also helps that I can use voice to send SMS messages from my phone when I'm driving or whatever (I'll often use my computer or iPad to s

I don't buy newspapers and I canceled my cable when they started (in addition to putting commercials in my shows) putting audible bugs over the shows I was trying to watch.

If you want to make revenue from ads, then do so. If you want me to buy your app, don't also make me pay with ads. This seems perfectly reasonable.

You could get rid of some of your limitations and make things easier on yourself by using the same technology we use to run memcached at heroku: http://github.com/northscale/bucket_engine In its current form, it's binary only (because we

Running four instances of redis is not the same as running one instance of memcached with four threads. Four times the number of processes makes for 1/4 the effectiveness of multiget or multiset on average since your keys are now spread acr
