(Okay, the roundup part is a lie…) I’ve got a double dose of news for you folks today: I’m very excited to announce: we just welcomed our second daughter to the world! I’m also very excited to announce I’ve joined Twilio! Editorially, the only change is that Cameron is taking over for a while. I’m […]

The DQYDJ Weekender, 10/29/2016
Guess what – since I complained a few weeks back one of my fantasy football teams has won 4 in a row, bringing it to 5-2. The other one is a perfectly inverted 2-5. What are you gonna do? Let’s do the obvious – look at some links! Links We Liked! Were you affected by […]

The DQYDJ Weekender Weekly Roundup, 10/8/2016
Thanks for hearing out my frustration with the fantasy teams last weekend – I won in both leagues! Now, of course, I’m paranoid – was that a false start to lull me into a sense of security to get blown out the rest of the season? Never a dull moment… (I know, 2 Weekenders in […]

My fantasy football teams? Not living up to the hype so far – I’m 0-3 in one league and 1-2 in another. When do you all start trying to make some pivots? Week 4? 6? Here’s what we liked this week! Links We Liked! The WSJ repots people are moving out of high cost states […]

The DQYDJ Weekender Weekly Roundup, 9/18/2016
Weekender to Weekender!? What’s the deal? Yeah, give it a few weeks – the site isn’t going anywhere (you folks made us too popular for that to be an option, haha – thanks!). The current real life interference will only run for so long. That’s a promise. Note my Twitter production has declined as well. […]
The DQYDJ Weekended Weekly Roundup, 9/10/16
That Raspberry Pi/Hadoop article got quite a bit more traction than I expected! Like I implied in that piece, most of the data we work with here on DQYDJ fits on disk (if not in RAM…). Still, I’m glad folks are responding to the piece – keep it coming in comments/email, and let us know […]
Who Won the 2016 Rio Olympics?
Every time an Olympics wraps up, we’ve got a silly tradition here on DQYDJ where we calculate some of the more dubious adjusted medal counts proposed to ‘level’ out the successes of various countries. There is some value with taking a shot(put?) at this – a proper adjustment would be great, and we’re not going […]
The DQYDJ Weekender Weekly Roundup, 8/28/2016
Since we don’t have the Olympics for an excuse now, it’s a shame there hasn’t been a Weekender lately. Let’s correct that with a quick roundup of all the stuff we’ve been reading in the last little-bit-more-than-a-week, shall we? So, here’s what we’ve been reading. Let us know what you’ve read recently in the comments! […]
