There's some drama in the expressjs world today and I just wanted to express my thanks to all the contributors and supporters. ExpressJS has been involved in some capacity in probably 100% of my independent consulting projects since 2014 and the 2 full-time gigs prior to that as well. ExpressJS pays my bills! Specifically I want to thank Doug Wilson , Jonathan Ong and TJ Holowaychuk for their great work on this project and the ecos..

Brief note: I wrote most of this on the plane, but it took me a few days to getting around to polishing it up. I’ve thought travel , I’ve talked travel , but aside from a few fleeting flirtations with decidedly domestic destinations, I hadn’t really done much of it. Until now, that is. By the Numbers I’m currently writing this at 35,000 ft, traveling at 556 mph on my way back from a business trip. By the time I touchdow..

The project I work on at AdRoll is mature. In a mature project the economics of software flip around to where doing something right is more desirable that doing something quickly. In 2015 we invested a lot of effort in resolving long-tail issues with the bidder system, issues we’d recognized in our failure-mode conversations but had left unresolved pending future work. Sometimes, a system will evolve away from such things and sometimes you’....

The civil war currently taking place in Syria has cost many lives, and has created a huge number of refugees. Many of these refugees are now living in a refugee camp at Za’atari, in neighboring Jordan. Under circumstances that range from difficult to grave, is it reasonable to think that young people can get an … Continue reading [Video 453] Karen E.

It’s a story about how I tried to open a project in Visual Studio for a few hours. The other day, I was going to do some work. I pulled last commits from a repo, opened Visual Studio, and prepared to start coding. However, one of a project in my solution failed to open with a strange message: error : The operation could not be completed. In the Solution Explorer, I had “load failed” as a project status and the following message in..

One of the growth areas for Python over the last few years has been in the area of data science: Tools such as Jupyter (aka “IPython Notebook“), along with NumPy and Pandas, have made Python one of the main languages that people use when doing data science. But how does a data scientist use Jupyter? … Continue reading [Video 451] Brian Lange: Practical Jupyter at a Data Science Firm → The post [Video 451] Brian Lange: Practical Ju..

Back in September, Codinghorror wrote a popular post on the state of android Javascript performance on Discourse’s Meta forum. It drew a lot of attention, and led to some fascinating discussions on our forum and behind the scenes with browser engineers. The poor performance of Discourse on Android was already old news to us at that point: we started paying attention several years ago, and have spent some time contributing to the Ember...

Questions to Ask … of a painting in progress, with strategies for recovery. Diagrammatic landscape sketch made "en plein air" at the Geographic South Pole I’ve been learning a lot lately by studying books, blogs, and doing studies from life. It’s made me reflect upon my past strategies (or lack thereof) for making artworks. These are roughly in order of importance, in that if the answer to a previous question is, “no,” it....

Introducing Protector - a Circuit Breaker for Time Series Databases

At trivago we store a subset of our realtime metric data in InfluxDB and we are quite impressed by the load it can handle. Despite all the joy, we had to learn some lessons the hard way. It is pretty easy to overload the database or the web browser by executing queries that return too many datapoints.

Indexes in relational databases are a very imporatant feature, that reduce the cost of our lookup queries.

One of the central doctrines common to almost all modern denominations of Christianity is that of the Trinity . The Trinity is the idea that God exists in three persons, yet is still one. However, nowhere in the Bible does the word “Trinity” appear . Does that mean - assuming the Bible is correct - that this doctrine is wrong? Perhaps, but the Bible doesn’t mention zebras , either, and they most certainly exist.

On a previous post, I’ve described how to use the S2 geo library to create a fast geo database, but it was to store locations (points) and only to perform range queries, a complete geo database would have regions/polygons queries. Looking for a solution I had this need: querying for the countries or subregions of hundreds of coordinates per second, without relying on an external service. One solution, using my previous technique, could have..

Wenn man nach langem Flug noch auf den verspäteten Zug warten muss, kann man den Gang der Menschen beobachten. Wie sie das Knie voranschleudern, und der Unterschenkel schwingt mit und die Ferse trifft gewaltsam auf den Boden. Oder da läuft jemand sehr kontrolliert, schwunglos, und stellt sein Fuß vorsichtig ab. Und wie die Zwischenschicht zwischen Mensch und Boden die Raumposition und Bewegungsablauf beeinflußt! Ein Wunder, dass sie n..

500 shades of Green No, it is not fake. I did it - I have managed to have real streak which last 500 days in a row and document it on Github. But, you can do it in a different way - there are couple of projects which allows you to create arbitrary history of your contributions (it uses a separate repository for that and well - it cheats using ability of git to bend the time). One is here . :wink: No, it does not mean anything. I a....

If you need to sort some data on the CPU, and you want to do it efficiently, you can do a lot better than std::sort. For the uninitiated, std::sort is the sort function in the C++ standard library. It's a comparison-based sort, usually implemented as quicksort. Recently I did some work on a parallel radix sort. A radix sort is not a comparison based sort. Instead it uses the actual values of 'digits' (chunks of bits) of the key to ....
