Things to commit just before leaving your job
// Just before switching jobs:
// Add one of these.
// Preferably into the same commit where you do a large merge.
//
// This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public",
// and then it quickly escalated into more and more evil suggestions.
// I've tried to capture interesting suggestions here.

How I installed GCC ARM on my Mac 10.9 Mac Book Pro
# Download the file manually from here https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded
# Note: `curl` command doesn't work
# I downloaded this one: "gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_7-2013q3-20130916-mac.tar.bz2"
# double click it to unzip it
# Make a place to install it to
mkdir /usr/local/gcc_arm
# Move the unzipped stuff there.

Internet Scale Services Checklist

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

Basic tenets

  • Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
  • Have we kept things as simple as possible?
