github.com/twotwotwo/sorts is a Go package with parallel radix- and quicksorts. It can run up to 5x faster than stdlib sort on the right kind of large sort task, so it could be useful for analysis and indexing/database-y work in which you have to sort millions of items. (To be clear, I don't recommend most folks drop stdlib sort, which is great, and which sorts depends on.)

While the process of writing it's fresh on my mind, here are some technical details, some things that didn't make the cut, and some thoughts about the process:

Concretely, what this looks like inside:

• Both number and string versions are in-place MSD radix sorts that look at a byte at a time and, once the range being sorted gets down to 128 items, call (essentially) the stdlib's quicksort.

• The [parallelization code

TLDR: I now add the following snippet to all my Dockerfiles:

# If host is running squid-deb-proxy on port 8000, populate /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/30proxy
# By default, squid-deb-proxy 403s unknown sources, so apt shouldn't proxy ppa.launchpad.net
RUN route -n | awk '/^0.0.0.0/ {print $2}' > /tmp/host_ip.txt
RUN echo "HEAD /" | nc `cat /tmp/host_ip.txt` 8000 | grep squid-deb-proxy \
  && (echo "Acquire::http::Proxy \"http://$(cat /tmp/host_ip.txt):8000\";" > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/30proxy) \
  && (echo "Acquire::http::Proxy::ppa.launchpad.net DIRECT;" >> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/30proxy) \
  || echo "No squid-deb-proxy detected on docker host"

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Guide to how fucked is SSL?

Thanks to Jacob Kaplan-Moss, Donald Stufft, David Reid, Allen Short, Zain Memon, and Chris Armstrong for review.

This is a guide for technical individuals to understand in what circumstances SSL communications are secure against an observer-in-the-middle (for all intents and purposes: the NSA).

1. Your class can be no longer than 100 lines of code.
2. Your methods can be no longer than five lines of code.
3. You can pass no more than four parameters and you can’t just make it one big hash.
4. When a call comes into your Rails controller, you can only instantiate one object to do whatever it is that needs to be done. And your view can only know about one instance variable.

You can break these rules if you can talk your pair into agreeing with you.
