Keynote: Stupid Ideas for Many Computers
summary
Built a crude load tester from a Rails log and Mechanize log-driven load generator, spun it up with bash, commodity boxes and a Kubernetes deployment on cloud and it generates load but provides no analysis. Implemented emoji sentiment with a Rinda tuple space—fetcher, analyzers, reducer—deployed in containers and it actually aggregates live Tweets (including many poop emoji) in real time. Wrote a brute‑force Latin‑square generator using permutations (O(n!!)) and distributed checkers; it works but is hugely inefficient.
