Nothing special. To me, it feels awesome to read about what he has done and it's inspirational. I just wanted to share it.

As you said, we already have buses that can do as much as even 32GB/s (2 lane PCIe 3). I think the bottleneck wrt main memory is the scalability of DRAM. Having lots of DRAM chips helps you scale _out_ just like graphics cards. To put in

Yes, I presume that's incoming 17k req/sec. Each incoming request can then lead to many database queries/memcached queries/etc. It would be more insightful if request/response sizes were also known.

For such web services, what is the average/peak load on the network? Is it a bottleneck at all? Are the networks over provisioned?

Intel archs have support for call gates that allow jumps to privileged code (ring 0/1/2). It maps nicely to the notion of syscalls, but I wonder why it hasn't been used.

All it needs some graphics acceleration so that it doesn't burn the CPU so much.

I use color-theme.el to manage, well, colour themes and use the twilight theme: http://github.com/crafterm/twilight-emacs/blob/master/color-... To mimic some of TextMate's functionality, I use: 1. autopair.el: http://www.emacswiki.org/em

A good UI solution would be to colour rows alternately so that the association is clear.

What's even great is that all these technologies are more or less platform agnostic. What is developed on a PC will work instantly on a Mac/iPhone/tablet/what not!

This looks very cool! Can someone point me to a place which lists a collection of useful HTML5 tools/libraries to build stuff like these? Thanks!

Depth. I have read CLRS (the second book in your list); it's really great as an introductory text as it spans a lot of areas. For example, sorting/searching is a chapter in CLRS, while it's a volume in itself in TAOCP (The Art Of Computer

The example you suggested is probably too simple; one should realise that the actual experiment might be very difficult, if not impossible to carry out. Consider a theory of galaxy collisions---I am unable to see any way of testing out the
