Adam Smith on Outsourcing (1776) “It is maxim of every prudent master of a family never to attempt to make at home what it will cost him more to make than to buy...What is prudence in the conduct of every private family can scarce be folly in that of a great kingdom. If a foreign country can supply us with a commodity cheaper than we ourselves can make it, better buy it of them with some part of the produce of our own industry employed in a way in which we have some advantage”

D-BUS “At the protocol level D-BUS can be used as a peer-to-peer message transport for applications to communicate directly with each other. The real power of D-BUS comes from the bus daemons which act as routers for messages. There are two standard buses that a developer can rely on always being around. These are the system bus and the session bus.
The system bus is a global daemon that any application running in any context can use as a transport. It is a single point where applications can export services that anyone can use. Only one system bus daemon can be run at a time.
The session bus is a bus local to the current user's session. It is used for communication between applications running within the same X session. For every login to X, a session bus daemon is started.”

Programming Fonts “Programmers have very particular font needs. A font for programming must be monospaced, extremely readable, and must sharply distinguish between similar characters, such as capital O and zero and the number 1, capital I, and lowercase L. In addition, good programming fonts allow you to view more lines of code on screen at once.”

An introduction to Ruby/DLX “Now, you can obviously use these great libraries by writing a binding for it in Ruby. This has the advantage that it is fast, however, it requires you to maintain the binding. This means that the binding needs to be updated whenever you or some upstream party updates the C library. This is a real pain, and it also requires you to deploy the updated binding to all the target machines. Because the bindings are written in C, this requires compilation which is not all too great, especially if you consider that ruby is an interpreted language. Part of the fun of programming in ruby is that you don't need to recompile. Wouldn't it be great if you could just import C library calls in Ruby directly ?”

Simple MapReduce in Ruby “Here's a simple version of the MapReduce framework presented in the now-famous Google paper by Dean and Ghemawat. My version of MapReduce is not intended as a usable high-performance framework, but rather as a learning tool. My goal is twofold: first, to learn to write algorithms in distributed/parallel MapReduce style. Second, to see how simply these concepts can be expressed in Ruby.”
