Will somebody please post a mirror? Tried downloading video from his blog and it is dog slow...

  See above, somebody posted a fast mirror.
ezmobius 18y ago
sorry about the slow download speeds. We will get it on a faster mirror later today and I will repost the link.

  Great talk - thanks! I've mirrored the file (and changed the extension to .wmv). On mac I had to use VLC to play it and change the audio to Track 2 to hear it. It was definitely worth the effort though to get it downloaded and playing. http://mattjaynes.com/keynote-ezra.wmv http://mattjaynes.com/keynote-ezra.wmv

    Thanks for the mirror, I wasn't able to download the original file, speed was under 2k/s!

Could you explain file streaming in more detail?
- ezmobius 18y ago
  The file streaming works by chunking up a file and broadcasting the chunks to an exchange. Any agents subscribed to the exchange will get a copy of the file. There is a small state machine for re-assembling files and each set of file packets is tagged with a token for easy re-assembly even on a multiplexed channel where multiple files are streaming at once.

    Cool, thanks for replying.

Looks like a rebuild of OTP, did the author have this in mind?
- ezmobius 18y ago
  I was definitely inspired by the erlang work I've been doing lately. Took a lot of those principles and applied them back to a ruby mentality.

    Congrats on Merb 1.0!!! I'm looking forward to a somewhat stable 1.0RC. Nanite does look interesting. I did quite a bit a of erlang work a few years ago. Loved it. It was a tough call to go with ruby for building my http://shellshadow.com http://shellshadow.com webapp instead of moving along with erlang. In the end, I went with mindshare. Hey ez, Can you explain why github is down quite a bit lately? Is it only because all the caretakers are hanging ou in San Diego right now? ;)
  - aaronblohowiak 18y ago
    Thanks for getting back to me. How do nanite and Vertebra relate to each other?
    - ezmobius 18y ago
      nanite is for individual application where you know every part of the system is allowed to talk to one another. Vertebra is for wide area networking and assumes hostility so does a lot more security isolation. Vertebra is for controlling clusters and clouds at large while nanite is for building scalable backends for individual apps.
      - ropiku 18y ago
        Any idea on when Vertebra will be released ?

Nanite, looks cool we have built a similar system for requesting and completing jobs, but it would be nice to work on top of a well built and maintained framework.
