4. Jonathan Ellis's Programming Blog - Spyced: All you ever wanted to know about writing bloom filters

   Bloom filters are surprisingly simple: divide a memory area into buckets (one bit per bucket for a standard bloom filter; more -- typically four -- for a counting bloom filter). To insert a key, generate several hashes per key, and mark the buckets for each hash. To check if a key is present, check each bucket; if any bucket is empty, the key was never inserted in the filter. If all buckets are non-empty, though, the key is only probably inserted ^{link »}

8. Optoma EP-PK-101 Pico Pocket Projector | Wired.com Product Reviews

   the comparatively low light output means any projections from the Pico effectively can only be seen in dark places. This limitation we found a bit ... irritating. Who wants to go through the hassle of locking themselves in a light-sealed room just to watch an episode of 30 Rock ? ^{link »}

   Turns out the sweet spot for the projector is between 31 and 72 inches. Anything under that and the picture gets muddled; anything over that and it gets washed out. ^{link »}

   it'll have some serious chops as a projector. But for now, its size and shortcomings make it come off like a kid's toy. Albeit the best kid's toy of its kind. Anywhere. ^{link »}

9. CouchSurfing Deletes Itself, Shuts Down

   experienced what could be described as the perfect storm. The database administrators we hired made two critical mistakes. First, we had a major, avoidable hard drive crash. Secondly, the incremental back-ups weren’t executed in the correct manner, and twelve of our most important data files didn’t survive. I have been working non-stop trying to repair the data, but as difficult as it is for me to say, it has become clear that certain essential pieces are not recoverable. ^{link »}
