JMP: Computing International Call Rates with a Trie
A few months ago we launched International calling with JMP. One of the big tasks leading up to this launch was computing the rate card: that is, how much calls to different destinations would cost per minute. While there are many countries in the world, there are even more calling destinations. Our main carrier partner for this feature lists no fewer than 59881 unique phone number prefixes in the rates they charge us. This list is, quite frankly, incomprehen … ⌘ Read more

To kick off my few days of Easter vacation, I took my freshly inspected and repaired pedelec (e-bike) with beautiful weather (20 degrees and sun) and drove a round on the “Ringgleis”, a bike path around my city. The total mileage has now also finally reached the 3000 km. That’s still not much over several years, but I still have my second, non-electric bike, with which I probably ride a lot more. ⌘ Read more

The first two nights with my new weighted blanket were good! The blanket is very cozy but not sweaty. The weight is not oppressive, but just right, and also makes me feel somehow more tired than usual before I sleep, and then let me fall asleep almost immediately, as if flipping a switch. And somehow I seem to dream much less, which can be a positive sign for more deep sleep. ⌘ Read more
