Why LinkedIn Rewards Mediocrity
I, like many people, find LinkedIn particularly annoying. I like the premise of it, don’t get me wrong, a resume you don’t need to update all that often seems cool.

Visualising how close random GUIDs come to being the same
The chances of generating two GUIDs that are the same is astronomically small. The odds are 1 in 2^122 — that’s approximately 1 in 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00. Guid Smash visualises the unlikelihood by showing how close each new GUID comes to matching the target GUID. At a rate of comparing 400,000 guids per second, Guid Smash should […]
