Super stoked about 4K. Does anyone have realistic insight as to how long it will take to reach consumer market? How about 4K computer monitors?

I wonder what hash was in use. Also, what workaround were you using to prevent flooding while this issue was happening?

Seems like more overhead than fork & execv technique.

Were you running LACP on the LAGs?

Poor cache utilization on traditional shared memory arch when passing data (packet) from core to core. I wonder if, while going down this road, they made sure key structures were cache-aligned.

Flow affinity, locking "streams" to cores, is the way to go. Relevant linux kernel support: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git...

Agreed. An amusing read though... "For example, for me, video distribution is a solved problem."

Nearly all of the web crashes my iPhone 3G.

> But large scale, high stress coding? I may have to admit that's a young man's game.

2.5 yrs out of college. Code monkey. Really, really good at monkey programming. Used to get upset when people made claims that it can't or shouldn't be done. "Of course it can be done you lazy #$%*$%. You call yourself a software engineer??" Then I pull it off. A couple more people love me, a couple more hate me. I become the monkey programmer. I am the one who brings designs to life the quickest.

That's the gist, and it's getting old. Requirements change. Social issues. It's like trying to drive a ferarri up switchbacks of a mountain. No wonder companies love hiring new grads.

The largest benefit from this is: reading & writing a lot of code. There is no substitute for this. It has helped me identify design areas that I need experience with. It has also helped me reason about code more efficiently, which is a very useful skill when interacting with other programmers.

Edit: And then I go home and read HN and /r/programming and play with other programming languages and build stupid little programs and read my books and try to figure out my next move...

VSS/VPC == MLAG... but what is ALB? I am guessing server uses one link until failure then uses the other? Even then, there are still network issues to overcome that may justify MLAG.

rich people and their trees...

seems algebraic to me

Macro?

+1 I am having a flippin blast working through this: http://www.arcsynthesis.org/gltut/

thanks for sharing that poem

Here's a fun and relevant paper:

A Comparison of Cache Aware and Cache Oblivious Static Search Trees Using Program Instrumentation

http://www.cs.amherst.edu/~ccm/cs34/papers/ladnerbst.pdf

Calxeda five XAUI (50 Gbps) to a 4 core 1.1GHz 5W. 200ns per hop.

A ToR switch will slow you down to 2000-3500ns.

Tilera TilePro64, 64 core 866MHz 22W, 1.7Tbps core-to-core, 46ns L1/L2 miss found in adjacent core, four XAUI (40 Gbps).

When compared to Tilera, Calxeda has a high bandwith per compute ratio. But 200ns core-to-core is not as fast as 46ns.

Tilera also has higher core/watt ratio.

Google "dropship dropbox". Googling "dropship" wont get you anywhere.

as well as Microsoft's static analysis tool for Xbox 360 development!

Wow, that must have been awesome. Thanks for sharing!

+1 for Boulder, CO

This could be a good thing. Liquidating wealth means opportunity for charity or other investments.

This is fun to play with on a cr48. Performance is decent for the given hardware.

Agreed. Excessive video game playing over many years may have contributed towards decline in health and eventual heart attack, but not a 3-day sprint.

> Programmers are procrastinators. Get in, get some coffee, check the mailbox, read the RSS feeds, read the news, check out latest articles on techie websites, browse through political discussions on the designated sections of the programming forums. Rinse and repeat to make sure nothing is missed. Go to lunch. Come back, stare at the IDE for a few minutes. Check the mailbox. Get some coffee. Before you know it, the day is over.

You're fired.

do you eat raw fruits and vegetables?

what kind of hardware?

Stop right there. You are not generalizing. You are talking out of your ass. I am always shocked when I run across people my age who are so arrogant. No matter how qualified you think you are, there will always be problems tougher than you have faced, hw architectures more delicate and complex than you have dealt with, and people who can blow your mind in ways that you cannot imagine. When you eventually acknowledge this, you should be grateful for the opportunity to learn what you can every day and that someone is paying you to do it. Fast forward 10 or 20 years and then we can start talking about value.
