It's somewhat annoying when articles of the format "Part N on this topic" do not begin with links to parts 1 -> N-1.

My point wvenable, is that we are absolutely not dealing with two different kinds of screw drivers here. Yes they both store "data", but there are types of data that one is well suited to deal with, and alternative types of data that the ot

Just because you can pound a screw into the wall with a hammer doesn't mean it solves the same problem as a screwdriver.

Perl's Pod (Plain Old Documentation) is actually a pretty humane format that exports to manpage, HTML, text, etc: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html We did all of our command line tool man pages in it, and it only took a few minutes to

I couldn't agree more with DHH here. Although addiction to "work's highs" is one explanation, I think its often simply a noble-sounding excuse to not expend the effort to exercise regularly or maintain a significant other. Hacking is fun, w

Not trying to troll or anything, but in the age of services like EC2, App Engine, and Heroku, why would anyone get locked into a long term hosting contract without prior proof of "legs"?

So there is a level of dilution doesn't make sense, but I don't know that a good VC would proffer them. Does a VC no good to close a round and have the whole team walk away. I think this article is talking about situations where dilution is

It's a concern, but any amount dilution is better than infinite dilution (i.e. turning off the lights).

Agree that most people who skip CD are doing for lack of trying ;-). I think the ease of gaining access depends largely on the target customer profile. Consumer, even SMB targeted stuff by definition has a large number of potential customer

Missed a 4th reason for a lack of customer development: 4) Hard to get meaningful face time with customers and/or get honest, well-thought out responses from them, particularly hard for a brand-new startup without existing customers on exis

Yep. FastTCP is a pretty elegant algorithm that happens to covered by all sorts of patents. Was a company behind it as well that seems to still be doing OK (FastSoft). Unfortunately won't be turning up in Linux et al due to those angles :-(

TCP's slow-start and exponential backoff algorithms are absolute murder when your pipe has a large bandwidth-delay product. There are a whole slew of UDP-based implementations (and a couple TCP variants) targeted at large data transfers ove

Made this more clear in the title. Should still provide some context to the improvements claimed in today's release, and a hard set of numbers to compare the new implementation against.

Diomidis Spinellis has written two books (Code Reading and Code Quality) on this subject that take you through annotated examples of industrial strength systems code (mostly from BSD IIRC): http://www.spinellis.gr/codereading/

Thanks! Rago is the copy I actually have on my bookshelf, didn't notice the site I linked was only the first edition. Guess with Steven's unfortunate passing they made a new site.

This book ( http://www.unpbook.com ) and this book ( http://www.kohala.com/start/apue.html ) are both very good. Not to mention keeping abreast of new stuff in the Linux Kernel at http://www.lwn.net or http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChang

They should require every first year graduate student to read this or something similar. The ratio of well to poorly written papers is far too low.

Yeah, I'm not a Java fanboy by any stretch of the imagination, but an 10+ year-old benchmark running on an obsolete JVM running on an obsolete OS, running on obsolete hardware (multi-core what?) are not horribly relevant to making technolog

Beautiful Code: Leading Programmers Explain How They Think (Theory in Practice) is not an instructional programming book per se, but more along the lines of what I would consider "vacation reading". Each of the chapters is a self-contained
