Put your write ahead logs on a mirrored set of ssds as long as your write patterns can handle a build up of logs before archiving to slower storage. This gets the fsync out of the way so the application will block for a shorter amount of ti

I'm finishing Halting State right now. It's basically written for this community. A real fun read.

This is apt. I just started the io chapter in Seven Languages in Seven Weeks. I can't imagine putting anything in production with it, but I guess I just don't completely understand what io excels at yet.

Seaside seems interesting but how is the smalltalk library support? Does it have a robust way to call libraries in other languages?

Fractals Everywhere by Michael Barnsley. It's a mathematics textbook, but very approachable. It could stand to be more rigorous but I'm finding it needs very little supplementary material. I've made it through metric spaces, affine transf

Don't be fooled by thinking salvia is just a "legal high". It can cause profound ego-loss for upwards of ten minutes. The history is that it is what native american shamans used to chew on to see visions. A common experience is one in which

I like anime vs north american television because often it's a succinct 26 episode series. It's going to have a conclusion. It feels like reading a book at times. There are many anime that go on forever. Dragon Ball Z, etc. The ones truly w
