"There was a very interesting talk about Tin ("the database so tiny they had to shorten its name"). This basically seemed to be a very clever approach for delivering stock data that leveraged a basic filesystem with range queries and rewriting rules via Sinatra. Turns out web servers serving static files goes pretty fast, if that's a suitable representation for your stuff (seems like his primary use case is for delivering read-only out to clients, where the data gets updated asynchronously in the background by the system). We actually have some datasets that are like that, so this is intriguing!"

"And if your English, like mine, is really just a first-order approximation rather than the real thing, it’s not your problem - you won’t notice. The native English speakers shouldn’t have had their ancestors conquer that much land; now, they’ll just have to put up with the consequences."

@jackerhack Yeah, I realised it's deliberate trolling. It's good because it captures a lot of NI stereotyping of "madrassis".

When the fingers no longer are sure about the keyboard shortcuts for the session mgr, editor and the os, it is time to sleep. Maybe.
