- The End of Wall Street’s Boom – National Business News – Print – Portfolio.com
- “By the spring of 2005, FrontPoint was fairly convinced that something was very screwed up not merely in a handful of companies but in the financial underpinnings of the entire U.S. mortgage market. In 2000, there had been $130 billion in subprime mortgage lending, with $55 billion of that repackaged as mortgage bonds. But in 2005, there was $625 billion in subprime mortgage loans, $507 billion of which found its way into mortgage bonds.”

- Tenerife Skunkworks: The OpenPoker scalability challenge
- The OpenPoker scalability challenge I spent the past few weeks slaving over a new version of OpenPoker and after a few rewrites I can safely say that this is the greatest and most scalable poker server ever! How scalable? I don’t know but you can tell me!

- A Million-user Comet Application with Mochiweb, Part 1 | Richard Jones, Esq.
- In this series I will detail what I found out empirically about how mochiweb performs with lots of open connections, and show how to build a comet application using mochiweb, where each mochiweb connection is registered with a router which dispatches messages to various users. We end up with a working application that can cope with a million concurrent connections, and crucially, knowing how much RAM we need to make it work. In part one: * Build a basic comet mochiweb app that sends clients a message every 10 seconds. * Tune the Linux kernel to handle lots of TCP connections * Build a flood-testing tool to open lots of connections (ye olde C10k test) * Examine how much memory this requires per connection. Future posts in this series will cover how to build a real message routing system, additional tricks to reduce memory usage, and more testing with 100k and 1m concurrent connections.

- Ned Batchelder: The first servers
- The bit about optimizing area codes is fascinating. But here’s a quote about how phone switches predate web server farms: “It’s fascinating to realize that the work we do every day with web servers, which seems like a recent modern technology, was predated by guys like Erlang working with early phone switches over 100 years ago. Phone switches were the first servers: central machines connected to a large number of potential clients. In building these switches, the early engineers had to figure out from scratch how to anticipate the possible work load, so they could build switches large enough but not too large. The whole of queueing theory springs from the theories worked out by telephone switch engineers.”

- The 10 Signs of Intellectual Honesty | The Design Matrix
- “What you need to look for is a track record of intellectual honesty. Let me therefore propose 10 signs of intellectual honesty.” However, one note of caution I would put in there is that these points are valid only if the argument is well-reasoned and grounded to begin with. If your argument is grounded in factual relativism, that’s intellectually dishonest too.

- Learn a dynamic language now – The Tripping Point – Pluralsight Blogs
- Andrew, read this. Note that the person writing this is a long-time Microsoft consultant. “The common criticisms that dynamic languages aren’t understood by most developers and don’t work for large projects just don’t hold water. The lack of compiler (and some dynamic languages have compilers) is a non-issue to. The normal testing the compler does (and that’s the right way to think of it) is superceded by the better overall test coverage you can achieve. And while they may not be as fast as C# and Java (which weren’t as fast at C++ when they started), they scale fine if you’ve app’s architecture is solid (and a bad architecture will cripple scaling no matter what language you use).”

- Nanite: Self Assembling Cluster of Ruby Daemons
- Via Stefan Tilkov: A Nanite installation is based around a “mapper exchange” with which Ruby daemons (called Nanite “agents”) register. Nanite mappers (running in, say, Rails or Merb applications, or even command line apps) can then call the exchange and gain access to the functionality of the agents. The mapper exchange makes it possible for daemons / agents to start, stop and die while allowing the whole cluster to be self-healing.
