I’m torn on this topic, I always tell my teams I hire for Attitude and Aptitude. If you have a good attitude and can learn we can teach you everything you need to learn. If you have a crappy attitude about life we can’t help you. I have

The idea that a flight routing system wouldn't take into consideration the altitude of the planes involved seems a bit like a movie rather then reality. Now if they said the problem was the U-2 was moving so quickly that the calculatio

> Java Azul JVM Oh I agree 100% here, I had a Java version of a project that went from 15k qps to 60k qps just by switching to the Azul JVM. That said I still ended up crushing that with Nginx/LuaJIT and I didn't need a proprie

Interesting read, I have recently been porting a very low latency high scale project of mine from Nginx/LuaJIT to Go just to learn Go. I have already right off the bat ran into the concurrency issues even with Go 1.3beta. And the GC l

Of course but nobody really remembers Xenix. :-( I get tired of explaining Xenix to people so I guess I just defaulted to SCO Unix in this story. My favorite Xenix tidbit: "Microsoft, which expected that Unix would be its operating sys

I have shared this implementation with a number of our client's not sure if your team was one of them or figured it out based on other inputs. Some of the big learnings where sysctl settings and other os level tweaks. My primary goal w

They needed to fire the pulse on the edge of the card's port within 50ns of a pre-determined GPS time. However they originally wanted this pulse to originate in the Kernel. I told them that would never happen on time and between bus

It's hard to make the time to blog when I am actually doing stuff that fires me up. Maybe I need a ghost writer who can shadow me on projects and then write them up for us both. LOL

More proof that DRM is a farce. :-) I used to work for a massive media company for a short stent and I kept trying to explain to them why DRM will always be broken but it just never took. I think it's hard for non-technical people to

Interesting read but I suppose it's fairly obvious when you think about it. That said I've seen corporate cultures where everyone is peer pressured into taking notes and often more so when highly ranked executives are in the meeti

I wonder if over time they'll adapt this sort of testing to computer science. I've often found learning new computer languages stimulating and exciting, frustrating at first but so much fun when I get closer to mastery. However
