Ah, you're right, I did miss something =) Still nothing to be " shocked " about though ..

He has a few valid complaints (by a few I mean one), but this is really not that bad compared to a lot of the XML floating around. No reason to be shocked "There are no namespace declarations. No self-respecting XML parser will have anyt

People can be nervous on job interview and therefore "shut down" and fail simple tests. This does not reveal a persons real problem solving skills. I don't consider myself especially nervous in job interviews and when taking tests and exams

I don't have a stake in the Ruby webserver wars, but the unicorn site has a very good discussion about how it works internally, why it's build as it is, pros & cons etc.. This seems to be missing from most of these project sites, which

My rand.Intn() was always returning the same value. Seem like you have to to seed it manually (once, in main() for example): rand.Seed( time.Now().UTC().UnixNano()) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12321133/golang-random-nu... Edit:

Not GP, but I also saw this.. Increasing the timeout to 0><10 seconds does give the expected output.. But shouldn't I see this from time-to-time with 1 second as well? Hmm..

Dont know either very well, so this isn't an answer to your question.. But looking at your code; c := make(chan Result) is several orders of magnitude nicer than ExecutorService executorService = Executors.newCachedThreadPool(); =)

I see.. I googled it and it seems like the comparison is multi-threaded (multi process? multi machine??) vs single-threaded, single process. It doesn't really seem like a fair comparison, and since you guys are obviously knowledgeable I be

@rescrv It's my impression that Redis is well-opitmized C code. How can HyperDex be "2-14 faster" ?

Never read the guy, but this is a real: Shotgun argumentation - the arguer offers such a large number of arguments for their position that the opponent can't possibly respond to all of them [1] Gish has been characterized as using a rapi

Maybe you're not really that introvert, only a little shy? (yes, I think there's a difference :)

Only gotten a few pages in, but what I've read so far was informative and understandable. Thanks

I just started reading "the signal and the noise" [0], and he talks about the difference between "risk" and "uncertainty": "Risk" is a known factor, something you can calculate with. Something might be risky (50% chance of failure) but at

Anyone have any context? It kind-of seems like they built something following the documentation, and when they launched they found out that the docs weren't correct anymore? Did LinkedIn change this overnight, without any sort of "deprecate

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but is he telling us that we should try to be offended? I'm referring to the second to last paragraph: You can't know if your values are being violated if you're ambiguous about what they are. Second,

Does that pressure come at the business end of a bat? Not what the OP or the GP are talking about. It might be a valid discussion, but it's not this discussion.

We must all do the right as we see it. [..] Doing what _you_ think wrong is wrong. Hmm.. this seems like a form of relativism. Are you implying the inverse as well: Doing what _you_ think right is right? How do you defend that if "right"

Apache CouchDB is the original opensouce project. The guy who started it left a year ago (?), but the project is alive. How much so? I don't know.. Membase does not exists, it was renamed to Couchbase Server. It used to be CoucbDB + Memcach

This reminded me of Richard Branson (the Virgin guy) and a post by James Altucher. I think James' point is that to do something huge, like start a new airline, you always have to find the next step. Pretty basic really, break a big task in
