The Jaunt by Stephen King

Chapter 1

"This is the last call for Jaunt-701," the pleasant female voice echoed through the Blue Concourse of New York's Port Authority Terminal. The PAT had not changed much in the last three hundred years or so - it was still gungy and a little frightening. The automated female voice was probably the most plesant thing about it. "This is Jaunt Service to Whitehead City, Mars," the voice continued. "All ticketed passengers should now be in the Blue Concourse sleep lounge. Make sure your validation papers are in order. Thank you."The upstairs lounge was not at all grungy. It was wall-to-wall carpeted in oyster gray. The walls were an eggshell white and hung with plesant nonrepresentational prints. A steady, soothing progression of colors met and swirled on the ceiling. There were one hundred couches in the large room, neatly spaced in rows of ten. Five Jaunt attendants circulate, speakingin low, cherry voices and offering glasses of milk. At one side of the room was the entranceway, flanked by armed guar

redis replication scheduled to be closed ASAP for overcoming of output buffer limits.
If you redis initial replication fails with error like
"5101:M 20 Feb 18:14:29.130 # Client id=4500196 addr=71.459.815.760:43872 fd=533 name= age=127 idle=127 flags=S db=0 sub=0 psub=0 multi=-1 qbuf=0 qbuf-free=0 obl=13997 oll=1227 omem=192281275 events=rw cmd=psync scheduled to be closed ASAP for overcoming of output buffer limits.
means that slave buffer is not enough and you should increase it (at master!) with command like
redis-cli config set client-output-buffer-limit "slave 836870912 836870912 0"

ZMV-Examples (require autoload zmv)

rename a section of a filename, i. e. example.1.{txt,conf,db} or 12345.1.{wav,ogg,mp3} and

change the 1 to a 2 in the filename while preserving the rest of it.

$ zmv -n '(.)(<->)(.[^.]#)' '$1$(($2+1))$3' # would rename x.0001.y to x.2.y. $ zmv -n '(.0#)(<->)(.[^.]#)' '$1$(($2+1))$3'

Rename files to lower case

$ zmv '*' '${(L)f}'

serially all files (foo.foo > 1.foo, fnord.foo > 2.foo, ..)

$ autoload zmv

Falsehoods programmers believe about time, in a single list

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

  • There are always 24 hours in a day.
  • February is always 28 days long.
  • Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).

Market Order Matching Engine

Introduction

The computer driven markets for instruments like stocks and exchange traded stock options, have transformed finance and the flow of capital. These markets are enabled by order matching engines (and the infrastructure that supports this software). Before computer trading networks and matching engines, stocks where traded on cavernous exchange floors and transaction costs where high. When electronic trading fully matured, floor traders were a fading anachronism and transaction costs had been reduced to pennies a share in many cases. Electronic trading could not exist without advanced network infrastructure, but without the software matching engines no shares would change hands. The computer trading networks, the matching engine software has also created a concentrated nexus of potential failure. Failures in these systems have increased as the frequency and volume on the electronic networks has increased. The position of order matching engines in the trading infrastructure makes these systems o
