Random code snippets, projects and musings about software from Eric Kidd, a developer and occasional entrepreneur. You're welcome to contact me! Mar 15, 2007 • by Eric Kidd …and how to fake Lisp macros with Template Haskell (I wrote this article in response to a comment by sigfpe. You may find it pretty dry reading, unless you want to build domain-specific languages in Haskell. Proceed at your own
In earlier work we presented a foundation for the Second Law of Classical Thermodynamics in terms of the Entropy Principle. More precisely, we provided an empirically accessible axiomatic derivation of an entropy function defined on all equilibrium states of all systems that has the appropriate additivity and scaling properties and whose increase is a necessary and sufficient condition for an adia
Another uplift has left the building and it’s time to take a look at what’s in Firefox Developer Tools in Firefox 23 currently Aurora, our pre-beta channel. You can download it from the Aurora Download page today. Firefox 23 is currently scheduled to hit the release channel on Tuesday August 6th, 2013. Episode XXIII is a barn-storming, hair-raising spectacle of incredible epicness that is sure to
It's being reported Yahoo bought Tumblr for $1.1 billion. You may recall Instagram was profiled on HighScalability and they were also bought by Facebook for a ton of money. A coincidence? You be the judge. Just what is Yahoo buying? The business acumen of the deal is not something I can judge, but if you are doing due diligence on the technology then Tumblr would probably get a big thumbs up. To s
I am working on a quick and dirty Ruby bridge library, that I hope will yield a huge performance gain with template interpolation in the language-puppet library. Right now, it is capable of: Initializing a Ruby interpreter from libruby Calling Ruby methods and functions Registering methods or functions that will be called from Ruby code Converting data between the two Worlds (right now the most co
Norbert Wiener, the visionary mathematician whose essay “The Machine Age” languished for six decades in the M.I.T. archives.Credit...Massachusetts Institute of Technology It was a vision that never saw the light of day. The year was 1949, and computers and robots were still largely the stuff of science fiction. Only a few farsighted thinkers imagined that they would one day become central to civil
Scaling Challenges: Productivity, Cost Efficiency, and Microservice Management The main objective of this article is to delve into the technical complexities and strategic adjustments undertaken by Trainline. By examining challenges such as managing peak transaction volumes and orchestrating microservice architectures, we aim to uncover the valuable lessons learned and insights gained from Trainli
This is the first in a series of articles analysing the performance improvements in the Go 1.1 release. It has been reported (here, and here) that performance improvements of 30-40% are available simply by recompiling your code under Go 1.1. For linux/amd64 this holds true for a wide spectrum of benchmarks. For platforms like linux/386 and linux/arm the results are even more impressive, but I’m pu
