Economics 101: Consumer Price Index - Newsweek
sujal 11/24/2008

Newsweek’s Daniel Gross explains the Consumer Price Index (here’s the official BLS site) in a very simple video. I could do without the goofy sound effects, but it’s a good, 2 minute explanation of how the government tracks inflation.

Per David Simon’s Berkeley talk, though, the video doesn’t go into why this matters. Perhaps they’ll cover that in the next installment of the Economics 101 series.

Labnotes » Git forking for fun and profit
sujal 05/02/2008

Well written overview of the advantages of Git for development. I’m keeping an eye on this for now, but there’s one random thought that comes to mind: Linus Torvalds is a really, really smart guy. First, he has shepherded Linux, and now another of his “itches” has turned into a widely used and enthusiastically supported project. No, Git isn’t as successful as Linux yet. But imagine if it is? How many people do this twice?

It’s always good to hear from not-Linus on source control. :)

Linus Torvalds rips EVERY source control system (but his)
sujal 06/03/2007

This is dedicated to the Maven 2/Spring/IntelliJ crew at ESPN.com. And, it’s a great talk anyway if you’re moderately interested in Source Control and development processes. It’s good fodder to think about how Open Source differs from internal projects. Could be a cool idea, though, for cross department collaboration (which is essentially open source, right).
