How Zara Grew Into the World’s Largest Fashion Retailer - NYTimes.com: "“When we open a market, everyone asks, ‘How many stores will you open?’ ” he said. “Honestly, I didn’t know. It depends on the customer and how big the demand is. We must have the dialogue with the customers and learn from them. It’s not us saying you must have this. It’s you saying it.”"

Abstract:
This paper describes the derivation of the T-Complexity and T-Information
Theory from the decomposition of finite strings, based on the
duality of strings and variable-length T-Codes. It further outlines its similarity
to the string parsing algorithm by Lempel and Ziv. It is intended
as a summary of work published mainly by Titchener and Nicolescu.

The Setup / Rob Pike
The Setup / Rob Pike: "My dream setup, then, is a computing world where I don't have to carry at least three computers - laptop, tablet, phone, not even counting cameras and iPod and other oddments - around with me in order to function in the modern world. The world should provide me my computing environment and maintain it for me and make it available everywhere. If this were done right, my life would become much simpler and so could yours."

Writing Fast, Memory-Efficient JavaScript | Smashing Coding: "JavaScript engines such as Google’s V8 (Chrome, Node) are specifically designed for the fast execution of large JavaScript applications. As you develop, if you care about memory usage and performance, you should be aware of some of what’s going on in your user’s browser’s JavaScript engine behind the scenes."

Coding Horror: Software Developers and Asperger's Syndrome
Coding Horror: Software Developers and Asperger's Syndrome: "One provocative hypothesis that might account for the rise of spectrum disorders in technically adept communities like Silicon Valley, some geneticists speculate, is an increase in assortative mating. Superficially, assortative mating is the blond gentleman who prefers blondes; the hyperverbal intellectual who meets her soul mate in the therapist's waiting room. There are additional pressures and incentives for autistic people to find companionship - if they wish to do so - with someone who is also on the spectrum. Grandin writes, "Marriages work out best when two people with autism marry or when a person marries a handicapped or eccentric spouse.... They are attracted because their intellects work on a similar wavelength.""

Backbone.js for Django Developers | Blog | Django Development | Lincoln Loop: "After a month or two of being submersed in Backbone, I’ve seen the light and am now relatively competent. When I got started I was completely lost. Here are some things that probably would have helped me back then. Whenever possible, I’ve linked to the source of the Backbone Todo example for code samples."

Dropbox-as-a-Database | The Opa Blog
Dropbox-as-a-Database | The Opa Blog: "We played with the concept a bit, and, in an era which is also the one of cloud storage with Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Skydrive and the like, we wondered why applications and services shouldn't just use our cloud storage account to store our data. Why everything should be centralized? Why all applications and services behave like Mega and not like BitTorrent?

DOE flips switch on Titan, world’s newest fastest supercomputer | Ars Technica
DOE flips switch on Titan, world’s newest fastest supercomputer | Ars Technica: "The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Labs today powered up Titan, a new supercomputer with 299,008 CPU cores, 18,688 GPUs, and more than 700 terabytes of memory. Titan is capable of a peak speed of 27 quadrillion calculations per second (petaflops)—ten times the processing power of its predecessor at Oak Ridge—and will likely unseat DOE's Sequoia supercomputer (an IBM BlueGene/Q system at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) as the fastest in the world."

The Setup / Joey Hess
The Setup / Joey Hess: "This place is nicely remote, and off the grid, relying on solar power. I only get 50 amp-hours of juice on a sunny day, and often less than 15 amp-hours on a bad day. So the whole house runs on 12 volt DC power to avoid the overhead of an inverter; my laptop is powered through a succession of cheap vehicle power adapters, and my home server runs on 5 volt power provided by a USB adapter.
When power is low, I often hack in the evenings by lantern light."
