Mind Dump: September 2010
http://ryansvihla.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Random daily ramblings of an unfocused developer. Sunday, September 19, 2010. Java IoC containers and classpath scanning (or what I’ve been looking for from .NET for months). Frustrated with the typical way I saw IoC used in Java where every example I found involved thousands of lines of XML. And/or Java code to configure Java beans or components. This is very different than IoC typically used in .NET where most IoC containers allow. 160; org.springframework.stereotype.Service. 160; / tells spring&...

Mind Dump: An Evernote backed Journal using Vim/Emacs
http://ryansvihla.blogspot.com/2013/04/an-evernote-backed-journal-using.html
Random daily ramblings of an unfocused developer. Sunday, April 7, 2013. An Evernote backed Journal using Vim/Emacs. I journal quite a bit and my holy grail has been using my favorite text editor (Vim or Vim bindings) with Evernote to store the everything in a smart searchable format. Today I stumbled onto a neat little tool that makes this all happen called Geeknote http:/ www.geeknote.me/. It's written in Python and works fine on my Mac. Git clone git:/ github.com/VitaliyRodnenko/geeknote.git. With a ...

Mind Dump: Buffer Cache Makes Slow Disks Seem Fast, Till You Need Them.
http://ryansvihla.blogspot.com/2014/04/buffer-cache-makes-slow-disks-seem-fast.html
Random daily ramblings of an unfocused developer. Sunday, April 20, 2014. Buffer Cache Makes Slow Disks Seem Fast, Till You Need Them. Linux has this wonderful thing called the buffer cache (for more detail read here. In summary, it uses all your free ram as a cache for file access. Because of buffer cache you can easily get under 1 millisecond response times. Because the buffer cache was hiding the bad disk configuration from the get go. The lesson here is if you ever want to benchmark how a system will...

Mind Dump: May 2013
http://ryansvihla.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Random daily ramblings of an unfocused developer. Monday, May 20, 2013. Web API FromUrl and FromBody. I've been using ASP.NET Web API for new service my lone .NET customer. They needed to build a most html/js application into the company intranet and they are only interested in Microsoft Technologies so I figured this would give me something similar to RESTful resources in Rails.

Random daily ramblings of an unfocused developer. Sunday, April 20, 2014. How to become in polyglot in 5 hard steps. With today’s world of programming languages where many languages are better at certain tasks than other’s you’ll find it useful to learn multiple languages over the course of your career (as well as keeping your skill sets current). Here are some tips I’ve had to learn the hard way:. Step 1: Your second language should be similar to your first. Step 3: Get involved with the community.

http://ryansvihla.blogspot.com/2014/04/reads-and-perils-of-index-tables.html
Random daily ramblings of an unfocused developer. Sunday, April 20, 2014. Reads and the perils of index tables. Since Cassandra is write optimized lets take a look a typical social networking pattern with a “users stream” and see how we’d model with traditional normalization of data and how this looks in Cassandra with denormalized data. What if my update process only writes the post to 990 followers and then fails? Do I need batch processes to do consistency checks later? Now there is probably a practic...

Random daily ramblings of an unfocused developer. Monday, February 18, 2013. Ruth Ann Svihla came into this world screaming and angry on October 30 2011 at 6:57 am. She was and has always been a beautiful, intelligent child that brought us a great deal of joy, but she was born with many challenges to overcome. A “Normal” Life. Routine checkups can be so very non-routine. A Lesson Of Resilience. It’s easy to see nothing but heartache and tragedy in Ruth’s story, and my humble writing skills an...At this h...

Mind Dump: June 2009
http://ryansvihla.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Random daily ramblings of an unfocused developer. Monday, June 29, 2009. Java Dependency Management with Apache Ivy. Not wanting to ditch your already built well working ant scripts for the plugin-centric view of Maven, especially if your project structure doesn't line up quite right with Maven's point of view? Integrates with Ant, but can still be run standalone. By default dumps all dependencies into your lib folder which makes it super easy to use with most IDE's. Links to this post.
