Chocolate banana bread with teff flour. Haven't tried this yet but fundamentals look good. Does use butter though. - Emil Sit

Summary of stats and advice from Jeff Dean. Particularly like the rules of thumb on distributed systems timing. - Emil Sit

Excellent veggie burger. Seems fine without egg, thyme; used potato and rice flour instead of sorghum flour. Might help to cook garlic first. - Emil Sit

Jeff Dean says, "Do your back of the envelope calculations." "Don't prematurely scale." And more. - Emil Sit

A set of elegant themes for wordpress. Free too. Thank goodness. - Emil Sit

Roughly speaking, like Mercurial or Monotone. Not sure how it compares to git w.r.t branching, speed, index. Big selling points would be integrated bug tracking and wiki and a single binary, with builds for Windows, OS X and Linux. Uses SQLite for the repo. No worse than hg/git rolling their own, probably better than svn using BerkeleyDB. - Emil Sit

Comparison of 10 or so modern DHTs along three axes: scalability, data and query model, and persistence design. - Emil Sit

Generic set of useful overview information about Android internals including oom killer, bionic, init, tips for how to flash a device using fastboot, etc. Mostly serves as a place to record links to other useful write-ups (largely blog posts). - Emil Sit

Description of high-level actions of Android init, the role of common things started by default, plus where to find the sources. - Emil Sit

Another pumpkin bread recipe, without explicit mix of flours (though some notes in the comments on good ratios or ways to vary) and no yeast. Also, English units. - Emil Sit

A detailed look at how Android (used to) boot up. I think init has been re-written and there's no more runtime but architecturally should be similar. - Emil Sit

Once you get past the trip to NY, a flexible looking pumpkin-bread recipe that involves teff and brown rice flour. Want have. - Emil Sit

Mixed in some russet, and, of course, bacon. - Emil Sit

"The right questions rely on the leader's ability to communicate authentic interest in learning the answer. They come from a place of not knowing.

Classes of questions: perspective, evaluative, action, knowledge. - Emil Sit

Uses dbus to make a panel applet that acts like xmobar. - Emil Sit

"Cappuccino is an open source application framework for developing applications that look and feel like the desktop software users are familiar with." Runs on JavaScript, and you write code in something called Objective-J which looks like Objective-C. Sometimes it is scary what you can do in JS. - Emil Sit

If you're not in computer science, you typically receive no training in how to write good programs--part science, part art, part engineering. This blog has many posts about what you want to think about in terms of developing good code. Probably takes a bit more work up front but will pay off for your science in the long run. - Emil Sit

Discussion (in comments) between the developer of haproxy and a user of ldirectord on considerations when choosing a load balancer. Application level proxy versus layer 2 proxy, performance, etc. - Emil Sit

What one person thinks you need to get productive pair-programming coders. Looks like a good list to me. - Emil Sit

Double the quinoa, add some turkey and chard. Very filling, super healthy. - Emil Sit
