‘Los Angeles’”Cohen’s method is original and precise and harkens back to the methodologies employed by early 19th century photographers like Gustave Le Grey. He photographs the world’s major cities, seeking out views that resonate for him and noting the precise time, angle, and latitude and longitude of his exposure. As the world rotates around its axis the stars that would have been visible above a particular city move to deserts, plains, and other places free of light pollution. By noting the precise latitude and angle of his cityscape, Cohen is able to track the earth’s rotation to places of atmospheric clarity like the Mojave, the Sahara, and the Atacama desert. There he sets up his camera to record what is lost to modern urban dwellers.” - Danziger Gallery

GetGlue Engineering: Fast Range Queries with Redis Redis is already a pretty good choice for analytics tasks. Support for atomic counters and bitmaps make it an attractive option. What if we could make it even better by gaining the ability to quickly answer questions of the format “given the dataset D, how many of its values fall between a and b?”

The Black Triangle The “Black Triangle” coined in the article is an engineering accomplishment that usually marks some sort of milestone in the system that is not always obvious to non-developers:
“It’s a black triangle,” she said in an amused but sarcastic voice. One of the engine programmers tried to explain, but she shook her head and went back to her office. I could almost hear her thoughts… “We’ve got ten months to deliver two games to Sony, and they are cheering over a black triangle? THAT took them nearly a month to develop?”
