‣Created the Ruby Quiz ‣released FasterCSV, HighLine, and Elif ‣Wrote a couple of Pragmatic Programmer books with a lot of Ruby in them ‣I’ve given a talk at every LSRC so far
‣We can always write C extensions for speed-critical portions ‣This is rarely actually needed though ‣We can make use of libraries, some written in C, that help with our problem

generate images for one project ‣The PPM code was taking about 1.3 seconds for a 400 by 200 pixel image ‣I replaced a two dimensional Array of Color objects with a 3D NArray

numbers in various sizes ‣Aside from indexing and iteration, NArray supports data generation, arithmetic operations, comparisons, bitwise manipulations, statistic calculations, and more

country for that IP ‣this was a Ruby Quiz ‣Solutions were also expected to be efficient in memory and speed ‣This is a real world task I’ve had to do for my job

replacement for a Hash you want to keep ordered by keys ‣Just having RBTree available magically speeds up Ruby SortedSet (over 15 times faster for simple iteration) in the standard library
argument, like --rbtree, and this sets up the load require "rubygems" unless ARGV.empty? ! require "set" dictionary = SortedSet.new File.foreach("/usr/share/dict/words") do |word| dictionary << word.strip if word =~ /\S/ end ! start = Time.now dictionary.to_a # force the set into order puts "Time to order: #{Time.now - start}"
of server monitoring ‣We collect various statistics from servers at regular intervals ‣We later analyze this data for spikes and trends ‣Time Series data is one thing RDBMS don’t do well
focus in on the parts that matter to you now ‣FSDB is essentially a Hash backed by the filesystem ‣This allows you to use paths to drill down to subsets of the data
