Pragmatic Programming Techniques: MongoDb Architecture
"When there are multiple indexes available for a collection. When handling a query the first time, MongoDb will create multiple execution plans (one for each available index) and let them take turns (within certain number of ticks) to execute until the fastest plan finishes. The result of the fastest executor will be returned and the system remembers the corresponding index used by the fastest executor. Subsequent query will use the remembered index until certain number of updates has happened in the collection, then the system repeats the process to figure out what is the best index at that time."

Auctions and bidding: A guide for computer scientists ( 2009 .pdf )
"The main purpose of this paper is to survey this literature from a computer science perspective, primarily from the viewpoint of computer scientists who are interested in learning about auction theory, and to provide pointers into the economics literature for those who want a deeper technical understanding. In addition, since auctions are an increasingly important topic in computer science, we also look at work on auctions from the computer science literature. Overall, our aim is to identifying what both these bodies of work these tell us about creating electronic auctions."

Flight Delay Information - Air Traffic Control System Command Center
From FAQ: "Every airport that I select on your Real-time Airport Status page reports the same information. Your site is obviously broken.
While this is technically not a question, we will address it anyway. If the same information is reported for every airport, it means one of two things:
1. There are no delays currently being reported for any airports.
2. There is a Traffic Management Initiative in effect that is affecting flights from all or many airports. For example, conditions at Chicago require a Traffic Management Initiative to control traffic volume. The initiative is implemented placing restrictions on all U.S. domestic flights destined to Chicago. Every airport that you check will then indicate that departures destined to Chicago are being delayed. "

Usability Research on Federated Login (Google OAuth & Federated Login Research)
2008 - "Federated Login has been a 'holy grai' in the identity community for a long time. We have known how to do the technical part for a long time. However the industry has constantly tried, and failed, to find a model that was (1) simple for end users, and (2) had a reasonable trust model between the RP (the relying party, which is the site you want to log into) and the IDP (the identity provider, who will identify you to the RP). Google has been experimenting with different user interface models for federated login using the following design principles:"

Linux Setting processor affinity for a certain task or process
"CPU affinity is nothing but a scheduler property that "bonds" a process to a given set of CPUs on the SMP system. The Linux scheduler will honor the given CPU affinity and the process will not run on any other CPUs."
