  1. @tbarkow does this mean you are going to be all artsy fartsy? I mean, you're not going to lose your Pearl edginess are you? :)
  2. @benschwarz at this rate, I'm likely to be committed. congrats on #rubykaigi decision, btw. I hope you're saving up for next year too.
  3. @crafterm looks like I'm pretty well tied up with rubyconf and visiting relatives, but I'll be down yet!
  4. @crafterm you should be looking thru those mags for simple iphapp ideas to separate the readers from some of their cash. #opportunities :)
  5. @tlockney both? :)
  6. random downpour while the sun is shining brightly #weirdbeavertonweather
  7. @ezmobius thanks! :)
  8. Rubinius the past month: pure interpreter (no JIT): rdoc'ing rdoc Ruby files: 30% faster, compiling CI: 35% faster, running CI: 36% faster.
  9. @ryanlowe no, you shouldn't worry, you should just get an iphone already.
  10. the reason is, you lose important real-world info about code performance if you prune too aggressively first.
  11. interesting thing about optimizing code holistically: optimize the code as it is used first, then optimize away the use if possible.
  12. @philtor yeah, he mentioned Handshake and that generally some of the basic ideas were not new. still, seems like a direction with potential.
  13. @tlockney I'll see if I can coalesce my notes into a coherent post tonight, since I think I'll miss the next westsideproggers b/c of oscon.
  14. @tlockney the programmer must make sequentiality explicit when desired. think about a chip executing as a lazy functional prog lang.
  15. @tlockney I have a slightly different take from @philtor: potentially earth shaking. :) the chip is inherently concurrent and data-centric.
  16. awesome stuff via @acangiano : Physical reality of string theory demonstrated: http://bit.ly/CA14T
  17. @built um, you really want to see @philtor in a bikini? this isn't europe, you know. :)
  18. @jakedouglas you're welcome.
  19. looking for some relaxing 4th of july reading? see my @engineyard blog post for books to help you learn about Rubinius http://bit.ly/GgHW0
  20. @tbarkow congrats! that's so cute.
