Yeah, this is why if you want to serve more than 200rps on a dedicated box you pick something other than Ruby in 2016.

Color isn't a physical property. Normal color vision is the sum of three signals. Tetrachromacy is equivalent to having a fourth signal, so you need an extra axis. Color spaces are weird in that cones have overlapping ranges (so the si

I've been just like this - without the context of a problem to solve, theoretical things just don't click for me. Regex was a mystery and impossible to memorize until I had to write a matcher for a class, and I haven't forgot

Theranos has a really curious set of investors and board members: http://www.techinsider.io/theranos-board-of-directors-2015-1... Maybe it didn't matter that much whether the tests actually worked.

For you, maybe - the commenter below me preferred lecture and I didn't learn anything until I did the project and trolled the mailing lists asking (and eventually answering) questions. Some people do better with the human interaction.

The problem I often run into is people making a bunch of comments but not having the confidence to actually make a call (ship or no ship). I think this has roots in the idea of code review as a way to cover your ass when something goes wron

This reminded me of the markbymarkzuckerberg parody from 2011 ( http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/08/07/mark-by-mark-zuckerberg-... )... unfortunately the domain's since been taken over by squatters :(

The meaning of 'tick' here is special, since we're talking about Node. It's not a measure of time, it's an iteration of Node's event loop. Because Node is single-threaded, everything that happens in a single ti

IMO the Promise API in javascript is incomplete when it comes to error handling. If you use the native implementation, all you have for error handling is .catch, but that changes the result of the computation. It would be extremely convenie

Oh yeah, I don't think any real/production Promise implementation behaves this way - but it can be unclear why. As a beginner, you might expect Promise.resolve('foo').then(...) to happen immediately, as the quoted passag

I was in Europe without a data plan for two weeks, and offline HERE (which has transit directions, unlike this release) was a lifesaver. Anecdotally, the directions were more accurate too.

Certainly true with traditional optics. I think computational optics will change things though - there's been research into using camera arrays for simulating a large aperture, for example. I don't actually know if this is physica

Regular expressions match regular languages (hence the name). If your language involves pairs of things (e.g HTML), it's not regular. Perl hacked support for this in via backreferences and other extensions, but these are slow and illeg
