Steve Farber

One of my all-time favorite examples of the role of Love in getting extraordinary results at work, this was originally posted on 4/15/06 : For those of you who think that love in business is a soft, California, group hug, hoo-ha kind of thing, I offer this story from a sourcing agent at a defense contractor.

Match Algorithm and Inputs

SoCal CTO

One of the common questions that I commonly get is: Tony, what inputs should we use as the basis for our matching algorithm? Every time I hear that question, it worries me a bit. eHarmony came with lots of research behind the dimensions of compatibility and how those related to marriage longevity and happiness. The people asking the above question don’t have that research and they also don’t really know how the matches should occur.

Well, if you are in this situation, you are in the world of language cacophony.

PubSub with Redis and Akka Actors

Ruminations of a Programmer

Redis (the version on the trunk) offers publish/subscribe based messaging. This is quite a big feature compared to the typical data structure oriented services that it had been offering so far. This also opens up lots of possibilities to use Redis as a messaging engine of a different kind. The sender and the receiver of the messages are absolutely decoupled from each other in the sense that senders do not send messages to specific receivers.
