"... experience instantaneous orgasm in the mere presence of anything written in Python, but you know what? My data has been here for years, and will exist after the OCaml developer scoffs at your Ada app, promptly scraps it in favor of his pet project du jour, and lambasts your poor judgment to passing allycats. You fucking code your app to the design spec and accommodate the data, not the other way around." - I'm not always good about this, but yes!

"Basically a hook was added to the code review process such that once a developer sends out a change for review, and automated performance test is started via the GFS Performance Testing Tool that we previously described on another Testing Blog post. Once two runs of the performance test are finished, they are compared against a known-good baseline that gets automatically created at the beginning of each week, and a comparison graph is generated and e-mailed to the user submitting the CL."

"Nomography, truly a forgotten art, is the graphical representation of mathematical relationships or laws (the Greek word for law is nomos). These graphs are variously called nomograms (the term used here), nomographs, alignment charts, and abacs. This area of practical and theoretical mathematics was invented in 1880 by Philbert Maurice d’Ocagne (1862-1938) and used extensively for many years to provide engineers with fast graphical calculations of complicated formulas to a practical precision."

"Shortwave Numbers Stations are a perfect method of anonymous, one way communication. Spies located anywhere in the world can be communicated to by their masters via small, locally available, and unmodified Shortwave receivers. The encryption system used by Numbers Stations, known as a one time pad is unbreakable. Combine this with the fact that it is almost impossible to track down the message recipients once they are inserted into the enemy country, it becomes clear just how powerful the Numbers Station system is."
