What you must know about text and encoding irrelevant to the programming language you are working with.

These are interesting:

• Different people need different kinds of management. Be adaptable to figure out what drives each person’s best performance.
• Give feedback frequently and directly. 
• Communication is the most difficult thing you’ll do.
• You’re more likely to lose by not recognizing your weaknesses than from the presence of weakness, so aim for self-awareness.
• Your company is a portfolio bet

You can write a whole program using only "move" command! Add, Load, Sub, … every assembly command can be re-written using this single command!

But the catch is that this idea uses invalid memory addresses to do comparison! To check if x is equal to y you need to put value of 0 in [x] and 1 in [y]. Then [x] denotes if x is equal to y.

In order to succeed in this chaotic world of entrepreneurship, you have to do less things which have most value, with a razor like focus. Do them for as many times as you can. Because this is your edge and you have to use your edge as many times as possible in order to gain an advantage on your competitors.

Pretty interesting article on how to receive 1M pps. The author tests on a minimal UDP packet and after setting up multiple receive queues on the receiver side (distributed across different CPU cores), 1.4M pps is achieved!

As long as synapses are firing in your brain, you will have ideas. Most will be bad, some will be good, but all of them will be generally worthless until you physically execute on them.

I love Redis!

It's one of best choices if you need a high performance cache. The project owner has declared some of features that will be implemented in v3.2:

• Geo hashing API
  
• Bloom filters
  
• Memory PRs
  
• Memory introspection command
  
• Some Redis Cluster multi DC support
  
• New List type operations
  
• AOF safety feature
  
• SPOP COUNT option
  

Some interesting points:

• People who speak of companies (or countries, or races, or other groups) as being good or evil are at best ignorant, and at worst bigots.
  
• I can code with vi on a Macintosh, Visual Studio on a Windows machine, ink on a Tablet PC, or whatever I desire.
  
• For the most part, I determine what I work on and when I will get it done. (Me: So how do you schedule your deadlines?)
