Cliff Click proposes a hash table implementation with no locks at all. Concurrent access is done with compare-and-swap and threads can even die mid-update without damaging the table. He demonstrates scaling up to 768 CPUs even with high mutation rates. Nifty stuff….

You know, most new product announcements come off as sounding pretty much the same. Blah blah blah, new this, blah blah, fancy that…. You know what I mean.
That’s why I sat up straight when I read the blog post introducing Pixelmator. It reads like a love poem to a Mac app that the […]

It’s a 30″ color touch panel embedded in a table and it’s from Microsoft.
What else can I say?

Jeff Barr from Amazon has a funny experience with the Google recruiting machine.

Brilliant

If you want readers of a web page to take a desired action, how can you gear your page to achieve that goal? Here is an excellect tutorial on the science of landing pages.
The key take-away points are:

Talblog has a great tip about moving the Copy Bundle Resources step of an XCode build to come after your binaries are linked. Since copying almost never fails but linking often can, this change saves time where it counts. Great idea!

I don’t believe a word of it but this is the most compelling television ad I’ve seen in a long, long time:

Mostly Photography:
In December of 1970, Diane Arbus, short of money and desperate for a new 6×7 camera, put together a portfolio of ten photographs for sale. She made an edition of fifty, each printed, signed, numbered and annotated by the photographer, and presented in a clear Plexiglas box. She hoped to sell them for a […]

Daniel Jalkut observes that while seemingly loose about types in that it will attempt to execute any method you throw at it, an Objective-C object at least has the decency to insist you use a SELector in exchange for this type-sluttiness, Key Value Coding will take any old string no matter how unlikely it is […]

I love James Dunance Davidson’s conference photos, like this one from RailsConf 2007:

There is also a cool series of Ze Frank photos.

The wine lovers site for non wine experts, Cork’d which was built by hand by two guys using Ruby on Rails has been acquired. This is a nice validation for the concept of building a simple, elegant and useful web app using Ruby On Rails and one that hasn’t seen a lot of […]

Everybody’s favorite Mac RSS reader, NetNewsWire is out with a new version of the alpha-ish Sneak Peak Release. I’ve been using the previous sneak peak since it was available and the quality is far closer to production than to alpha.
The latest version includes a ’sent-to-Twitterific’ command. Let the endless Twittering commence.

If you’ve been reading Mac blogs for long then you’ve no doubt had the pleasure of experiencing the zany cleverness and razor wit of DrunkenBlog. But last year DrunkenBatman went silent. Now, today, he speaks:
However, if you’re still on the fence and looking for a reason to go this year, I can […]

After some delay, Wordpress 2.2 is out and ready to rock. Still the scariest upgrade in town, this new Wordpress is probably worth dedicating some part of next weekend to installing. I wouldn’t upgrade immediately tho - let the braver souls go first!

Tonight I went to see Burn The Floor. What a great show. If you get a chance to see this in your city don’t miss it.

Shutterbug:
ice cream base is often made with mashed potatoes, or with Crisco and powdered sugar. Fruit pieces, chocolate chips, and food coloring are added to make various flavors. Cereal can be photographed with white glue instead of milk, because the cereal does not get soggy quickly and the flakes stay where they are placed. Whipped […]

If you haven’t already, go see this movie:

Mac developers are getting married left and right.
Daniel Jalkut is getting married this weekend (no updates to MarsEdit until then I hope) and Matt Gemmell just proposed (she said yes!)
