"Fixing" xkcd 1340 (or making the most redonkulous clock ever)

"Fixing" xkcd 1340 (or making the most redonkulous clock ever)

Update: feeling adventurous? Clone or fork the xkcd clock! If you just want to see it in action or get a glimpse of how it works, keep reading.

Problem

The date in [xkcd's comic number 1340][1] [does not change][2].

Whiteboard Picture Cleaner - Shell one-liner/script to clean up and beautify photos of whiteboards!

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

Why I Like Go

A slightly updated version of this doc is here on my website.

Why I Like Go

I visited with PagerDuty yesterday for a little Friday beer and pizza. While there I got started talking about Go. I was asked by Alex, their CEO, why I liked it. Several other people have asked me the same question recently, so I figured it was worth posting.

Goroutines

The first 1/2 of Go's concurrency story. Lightweight, concurrent function execution. You can spawn tons of these if needed and the Go runtime multiplexes them onto the configured number of CPUs/Threads as needed. They start with a super small stack that can grow (and shrink) via dynamic allocation (and freeing). They are as simple as go f(x), where f() is a function.
