The Burger Lab: Revisiting the Myth of The 12-Year Old McDonald's Burger That Just Won't Rot (Testing Results!) | A Hamburger Today - Mobile Beta!"
A few weeks back, I started an experiment designed to prove or disprove whether or not the magic, non-decomposing McDonald's hamburgers that have been making their way around the internet are indeed worthy of disgust or even interest.January 22 2012

Validating Memory Barriers and Atomic Instructions [LWN.net]
Unfortunately, most code fragments using atomic instructions and memory barriers require detailed knowledge of the semantics of a given CPU's memory barriers and atomic instructions. Promela and spin do not have such knowledge, so the developer must explicitly write Promela/spin code that captures this detailed knowledge. It would clearly be much better to have a tool that already understands this detailed knowledge. I am happy to report that such tools are now becoming available.December 11 2011

Designers are going to have to design things that might or not get made with the specified materials, in the specified way, to the specified tolerances. They’re going to have to design the idea of an object and let the world make it the way it wants to.November 27 2011

Reich werden durch einen verschütteten Kaffeebecher | Telepolis
"Auch dass Liebeck anfangs nur auf einen weitaus geringeren Schadenseratz klagte, nämlich 20.000 Dollar, um teure Behandlungskosten zu decken und McDonalds sie mit 800 Dollar in einem Vergleich abspeisen wollte, wurde erfolgreich von der öffentlichen Aufmerksamkeit ferngehalten, ebenso die Tatsache, dass Liebeck von einem Gericht letztlich nur 500.000 Dollar zugesprochen wurde, die sie ebenfalls nicht bekam: man einigte sich schließlich bei einem Vergleich auf eine andere, nicht bekannte Summe."Stevey's Google Platforms RantI was at Amazo... | Hacker News
The Golden Rule of Platforms, "Eat Your Own Dogfood", can be rephrased as "Start with a Platform, and Then Use it for Everything." You can't just bolt it on later. Certainly not easily at any rate -- ask anyone who worked on platformizing MS Office. Or anyone who worked on platformizing Amazon. If you delay it, it'll be ten times as much work as just doing it correctly up front. You can't cheat. You can't have secret back doors for internal apps to get special priority access, not for ANY reason. You need to solve the hard problems up front.Sitting In Chairs Is Not Zazen (part one million and seven)
Zazen is a physical practice. To sit in a chair and call it zazen is incorrect. It's not that sitting on a chair will lead you to Satan and cause your eternal soul to burn forever in Hell. It's not evil. It's just not zazen.November 07 2011
Revisiting Google App Engine's pricing changes - Greg Tracy
This post revisits my earlier evaluation of Google App Engine's post-preview pricing changes and how it affected my project, SMSMyBus. As I noted, the app was projected to cost between $6 and $7 dollars per day under the new platform pricing. Since that post, I’ve been rolling out small, incremental changes to optimize the code and combat all of the known issues. I’m thrilled to report that I have the price down to $0/day. And I’m once again impressed by the snappy and reliable App Engine platform.
