Culture

• What do you like best about working there?
• What do you like least?
• How would you describe this company's culture? engineering culture?
• What causes the most conflict among employees here?
• What would you change if you could?
• How has the company changed in the past five years? How do you think it will change in the next five?

• Kinesis Freestyle (Terrible key switches. Mushy and un-lovable)

• Kinesis Freestyle Edge (Traditional layout with too many keys, mech switches, proably too big to be tented easily/properly)

• Matias Ergo Pro (Looks pretty great. Have not tried.)

• ErgoDox Kit (Currently, my everyday keyboard. Can buy pre-assembled on eBay.)

• ErgoDox EZ (Prolly the best option for most people.)

// I had problems getting mouse movement events working in ncurses, but after
// some research, it seems as if this is how you can do it. The magic is in the
// printf("\033[?1003h\n") which was the missing piece in the puzzle for me
// (see console_codes(4) for more information). 1003 means here that all events
// (even position updates) will be reported.
//
// This seems to work in at least three X-based terminals that I've tested:
// xterm, urxvt and gnome-terminal. It doesn't work when testing in a "normal"
// terminal, with GPM enabled. Perhaps something for the next gist version? :)

I'm hunting for the best solution on how to handle keeping large sets of DB records "sorted" in a performant manner.

Problem Description

Most of us have work on projects at some point where we have needed to have ordered lists of objects. Whether it be a to-do list sorted by priority, or a list of documents that a user can sort in whatever order they want.

A traditional approach for this on a Rails project is to use something like the acts_as_list gem, or something similar. These systems typically add some sort of "postion" or "sort order" column to each record, which is then used when querying out the records in a traditional order by position SQL query.

This approach seems to work fine for smaller datasets, but can be hard to manage on large data sets with hundreds (or thousands) of records needing to be sorted. Changing the sort position of even a single object will require updating every single record in the database that is in the same sort group. This requires potentially thousands of wri

A Corn Salad That Reminded Me of Chris and Beth

This salad reminds me of barbecuing in my friend's yard. We had many amazing barbecues there. I used some honey from their shop and other ingredients they'd probably sell or endorse. This is a take on a Mexican corn salad type thing. Use the herbs and other flavors to drive the direction you want to take it in! Also if you live in Brooklyn, visit their shop! http://easterndistrictny.com/

Ingredients

• 6 ears of corn
• various hot chiles, to taste
• 1 tbsp light, fragrant honey (Greenpoint honey of course)
• aged cheddar (I used "Krystal Pure Cave Aged Cheddar")
