In his inaugural address, President Trump appeared to herald the end of an American experiment to shape a world that would be eager to follow the United States’ lead.

Why Smalltalk instead of Ruby Hello, it’s Andrzej Krzywda from Arkency here. Today we have a special guest post from Richard Eng, the man who is behind the Smalltalk Renaissance. I’ve been fascinated with Smalltalk since my University. In a way, my Ruby code is Smalltalk-infected all the time. Many of the great things in programming come from Smalltalk, like MVC, IDE, refactoring. Smalltalk has its history, but it’s also still in use in huge, production systems. As Ruby developers we often look at the new, shiny languages. Maybe we can also look at something less new? Maybe we can get inspired with Smalltalk? I’ll leave you with Richard and his strong arguments for Smalltalk, enjoy! :)

This week, I'm again digging the MQTT messaging protocol, and how can use it with the ESP8266 module, the Raspberry Pi, the CHIP and my Linux notebook. The capability to easily send two-way messages between all these devices opens a lot of possibilities for interesting and possibly useful, remote and automated gadgets. Installing the Mosquitto MQTT…

Introduction As the centralized performance team of LinkedIn, our mission is to make LinkedIn pages load faster. We help each engineering team try to hit their page load time goals through various optimization efforts. One common question we need to answer when trying to decrease page load time is: where is the performance bottleneck? In other words, where should the engineers focus their efforts? Usually, to answer this question, a performance engineer will look into performance metrics and check some samples captured by Resource Timing API and Call Graph and locate the hotspots. This approach can be very useful, but had the drawback of “trial and error.” Also, many sample waterfalls have to be clicked and analyzed manually to find bottlenecks. We wanted a systematic way that a tool could automatically provide bottleneck details quickly based on existing, large amounts of data.
