Burning Blog » Blog Archive » What does living Burning Man 365/24/7 look like?: "I don’t really think it’s possible to live a Burning Man lifestyle 24/7. You have to consider that at its heart, this is a narcissistic group of people. I know that’s harsh to say, but you can’t function in that type of community all year. It will make a sane person crazy because the group dynamic is based on attention and hierarchy. The backstabbing that goes on in an environment like this is intolerable to a normal, healthy human mind."

Messier 55 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Messier 55 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Messier 55 (also known as M55 or NGC 6809) is a globular cluster in the constellation Sagittarius. It was discovered by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in June 16, 1752 while observing from South Africa.[7] Starting in 1754, Charles Messier made several attempts to find this object from Paris, France, but the low declination meant it never rose sufficiently far above the horizon to allow for easy observation. He finally observed and catalogued it in 1778. The cluster can be seen with a pair of 50 mm binoculars, although resolving the individual stars requires a medium-sized telescope.[7]"

Reading local files in JavaScript - HTML5 Rocks

Reading local files in JavaScript - HTML5 Rocks: "HTML5 finally provides a standard way to interact with local files, via the File API specification. As example of its capabilities, the File API could be used to create a thumbnail preview of images as they're being sent to the server, or allow an app to save a file reference while the user is offline. Additionally, you could use client-side logic to verify an upload's mimetype matches its file extension or restrict the size of an upload."

Descriptive Camera

Descriptive Camera: "The Descriptive Camera works a lot like a regular camera—point it at subject and press the shutter button to capture the scene. However, instead of producing an image, this prototype outputs a text description of the scene. Modern digital cameras capture gobs of parsable metadata about photos such as the camera's settings, the location of the photo, the date, and time, but they don't output any information about the content of the photo. The Descriptive Camera only outputs the metadata about the content."

Intel SSD 330 Review | StorageReview.com - Storage Reviews

Intel SSD 330 Review | StorageReview.com - Storage Reviews: "Intel was one of the last manufacturers to adopt SandForce controllers for their enthusiast grade SSD 520, but apparently they seem to be doing well enough with it to commit to a second line of SandForce-based SSDs with the Intel SSD 330 family. The SSD 330 uses the same controller as the 520 does, the core differentiation being the a change in NAND layout from the SSD 520 to SSD 330 and different firmware. The Intel SSD 330 makes use of fewer memory channels, resulting in slower write speeds in certain scenarios. Such diversification is common in the client SSD space as manufacturers look for ways to provide different levels of performance and pricing for broader market appeal."

Improving your code with modern idioms — Porting to Python 3 - The Book Site: "Lists in Python has a .sort() method that will sort the list in place. Quite often when .sort() is used is it used on a temporary variable discarded after the loop. Code like this is used because up to Python 2.3 this was the only bult in way of sorting."

AWS gives us data centers around the world, which is nice (and great for load testing). However, this is an area that is evolving rapidly and we are always re-evaluating cloud providers. We also use HA Proxy, which is ideal for dealing with high-levels of concurrency, as our proxy server."

A view’s responsibility — a lesson on JavaScript and the DOM – BEKK Open

A view’s responsibility — a lesson on JavaScript and the DOM – BEKK Open: "Secondly, who is allowed to change what? Can all functions change whatever part of the DOM they want? This wreaks havoc for your tests and creates uncertainty as to where something occurs. And once again, you most likely need to set up the entire application to test the view.

My solution: A view is responsible for one HTML element and everything inside it.

And, of course, a view may contain several sub-views which again are responsible for themselves."

What were the tests that WinG did to evaluate video cards? - The Old New Thing - Site Home - MSDN Blogs: "He discovered all sorts of crazy shenanigans. Like a video driver which compares the string you ask it to display with the text "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." If the string matches exactly, then it returns without drawing anything three quarters of the time. The reason: Benchmarks often use that sample string to evaluate text rendering performance. The driver vendors realized that the fastest code is code that doesn't run, so by ignoring three quarters of the "draw this string" requests, they could improve their text rendering performance numbers fourfold."
