AppDomain.AssemblyResolve Event Tips
Three tips to keep in mind when handling AppDomain’s AssemblyResolve event.
Ellie is deep in thought.
Ninite
Nice little installer system to install all of your essentials on a new machine.
Why 3D doesn't work and never will. Case closed.
I get headaches when viewing 3D movies in the theater (of the two or three I have viewed). I take the glasses off a few times throughout the movie and let my eyes rest. I guess this convergence/focus issue is to blame for my headaches? I’ve given up on paying more for headaches while watching movies, hopefully more will do the same and we can just continue to enjoy movies in 2D.
Google Instant scaling
The infrastructure challenge: 5-7X more results pages for typical searches
We’ve been optimizing performance and speed for more than 10 years, and we’ve found thatevery second counts. When we came to the infrastructure team and said, “we’re going to be serving five to seven times as many results pages for each query performed in Google Instant,” first they threw a fit, then they figured out how to get us there! Even before Instant, Google was serving more than a billion searches per day, and our systems were optimized to ensure those searches happen as quickly as possible (usually less than a quarter second).
This is what I thought would be the toughest obstacle for Google Instant. 5-7x more requests when you’re already over a billion hits a day. Wow.
Hilarious. More sexist vintage ads here.
