At lunch today I learned about Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX) which is an implementation of transactional memory. The conversation started as a rant about why transactional memory is bad but then it evolved into how this concept even came to be and how it even got implemented if it’s such a terrible idea. What is transactional memory? First let’s start by going over what transactional memory is. You might be familiar wit....

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: the Government brought its best intentions and a bottomless bag of money, removed all incentive for fiscal responsibility, then left us all wondering why an entire industry got so expensive. No, I’m not talking about higher education — or health care, pharmaceuticals, or agriculture; I’m talking about infrastructure. Charles Marohn points out that the United States has used infrastructure spendin..

tl;dr : Link-time optimization is better. It produces faster code, and if you have more than one core, it is also faster. When you only have one core, it is not significantly slower, either. I had a conversation with an acquaintance on IRC recently about a blog post he wrote concerning SQLite and the decision by SQLite’s authors to put basically all of the C code into one file. The SQLite authors call it amalgamation .

Chris Wright does a much better job of making the point Anna Merlan tried to make the other day : that you don’t have to spend a bunch of money to take on the vanlife lifestyle. It helps, so you don’t spend the entire journey wracked with agonizing worry like Chris did, but you can still have some awesome experiences without it. Permalink.

Many developers have a tendency to consider themselves smarter than everyone else — or at least, smarter than the person who wrote the platform they build on. Web developers have made a habit of this, but as Carter Sande points out , that just might not be the case. “I think it’s best to build small, simple, standards-based web pages. Browser developers are really good at their jobs, and they’ve spent a lot of time on features like pro..

Figure 1. Two mason jars, full of cucumbers, just gone in. Both using this recipe, one with added chilli flakes, one with added Sichuan pepper. Here’s my lacto-fermented cucumbers recipe. This is adapted from the great Wild Fermentation book . I’ve honed this recipe to perfection over many trials – but you’ll need to try it a few times and adjust it to your particular cucumbers, climate & tastes, I expect. Although mini-cucumbers are ....

Most Soldiers hate organized Physical Readiness Training, or PRT. They tolerate it. Few enjoy it, and even fewer get anything out of it. I have a 1,600 word draft of an article titled “Army PRT is Garbage” that explains why — and outlines a few ways we could make it better — that will never see the light of day. Public critiques tend to reflect poorly on those who post them. I expect most Soldiers could speak at length on this subject, thou..

Hillel Wayne explains why EMT’s continue to use error-prone paper Patient Care Reports even though they have digital replacements: the software is too slow. “It wasnât even that slow.

Was there someone who wouldn’t have died if the ePCR was just a little bit faster, fast enough to be usable? And the people....

The term open source has become a household term in software circles. Most people who work with technology in some capacity know that the Linux operating system is open source, as is the Firefox Web browser and much of the software that runs on their Android phone. However, when it comes to defining open source, most people I’ve talked to aren’t that clear on what it is and how it works, but can often list these three aspects:

Some time ago I talked with a co-worker about his internal project. He was the owner of a product that tried to provide a generalized, hardened and fully codified Jenkins instance. This was done with the help of mostly Puppet and Groovy code. I was in this project for six months to help build the product and learn something there. After three years, one complete rewrite and countless hours put into the product, it was still not finishe....

But also, [redacted] , look at this guy. Look at this photo of a bangladeshi guy holding a small basket of starfruits. Fifty thousand people liked it when he posted it on [a social media website] .

Saying he doesn’t sell the starfruits but grows them to give to his friends and family. You know wha....

Recently, I utilized the yum-config-manager program, which is part of the yum-utils package, to add an additional repository into a CentOS box (of course this works with RedHat, too). The process involves installing yum-utils and adding a repository using the yum-config-manager command. Subsequently, a file is dynamically generated in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory with specific content according to the command options one uses. # ins....

I used the term “Big Red Sales Button” in a previous post, and got a question about it. You can see an illustration of that on the right. The Big Red Sales Button (BRSB from now on) is a metaphor used to discuss how sales can impact an organization. It is common for the sales team to run into new customer requirements. Some of them are presented as absolute requirements (they usually aren’t). I have found that the typical response of the ....
