Garbage you say? Dynamodb blazed a trail for many open source, eventually consistent kv databases. Certainly not garbage.

You would be surprised, actually. I think there's quite a bit of work going into BEAMJIT, an LLVM based JIT for Erlang that far exceeds HiPE. I won't argue with you though that the VM could use improvements gleaned from the last t

> Probably. But why not spend that effort on the language and libraries? Because the best Erlang has to offer isn't really in the Language. Some in the Libraries. Most in its VM. I would pick Haskell or ATS over Erlang - unless I ne

Haskeller here too. We rely on it [Erlang] for a mission-critical program that runs in an embedded linux environment; we use every touted feature of Erlang/OTP too. While I do miss typeclasses, applicatives, strong and static typing, t

It would be a phenomenal bit of tech anywhere. We had to go with Erlang for one piece of our product at Plum precisely because there is no analog story in Haskell to the Erlang full story. I would have loved to be able to build that specifi

Your comparison isn't sound. LISPs and MLs are as close together as Apples and Oranges on the functional family tree. Cabal has its problems and it primarily stems from a lack of any good "this is how you should use it" guide

Did you consider using or contributing to https://github.com/ChicagoBoss/tinymq ? I use it extensively for "inter-otp app pub/sub" and it's robust.

This is rad.

I don't really use anything of Hashicorp's except for Vagrant. That his been fairly revolutionary for all of the teams I've brought it to. That is, Vagrant + Ansible. A repository of Ansible configuration scripts that can eas

Spheromaks, specifically the Dynomak, look much more promising than this.

If you're technical looking for a cofounder, you should have a prototype built already in order to attract good business / operations people and you should understand that you must own everything and toil for endless hours to get

Yes! Finally something usable (ui wise). I can't use it though until I can sync using Google sync... Would love Google cal sync too, I use that heavily in the other mobile org android app.

Please. Don't. PyPy is not mature and still suffers from many deficiencies in python itself and the community. I'm not a huge fan of Ruby, but Ruby, its community, and rubinius are doing it much better.

Chill dude, I was being conversive. Your attitude makes me not even want to provide you with my own data now.

7000 writes per-second is pretty low for many high-volume time series needs. Though it's not usually write throughput that most of these technologies are worried about. It's usually compression using dsp methods, aggregate stream

But they do support read replicas, surely cross region read replicas is coming soon?

For those that want a lower-tech but scalable solution that can integrate easily with your build tool: AWS S3, NGINX + AWS Signing Plugin + Basic Auth, reStructuredText, and CircleCI. Very cheap, super easy to scale, and basic authenticatio

Right and the ability to customize every nuance of it w/ a tiny bit of Emacs Lisp (or not, that's not required) has been great. For example I didn't quite like how org-drill, a spaced repetition extension for org-mode, handle

by Ixiaus 12y ago
MobileOrg (the extension to org-mode in Emacs) requires an index.org file that points at the org files you want to export. You configure it to dump out anything from that index to a specified directory. You then use something to sync that f

Amazed no one has mentioned Emacs' org-mode yet. Nothing I've ever tried comes close to the flexibility and usefulness of org-mode in Emacs. Combined w/ MobileOrg sync and the MobileOrg app, it serves all of my note-taking

It was the same for me. I had two years of production erlang experience before trying Haskell on and it was a rough ride but very worth it (we now use it exclusively in production).

It's easier to go from something more highly structured to something looser. Start with a relational db and let it grow then pay attention to what data gives you the most scale pain and try to move that out to Riak / Cassandra &#x

by Ixiaus 12y ago
Postgres for structured data, Riak for high-volume and flatter data, and TempoDB for high-volume time-series data.

by Ixiaus 12y ago
Riak is amazing and actually scales. But I would only use Riak for high-volume data storage (similar to S3). FoundationDB looks great, I haven't used it yet but they appear to have their heads on right. PostgreSQL, the newer versions,

I came into a company that was attempting to use MongoDB for their soft-real time time-series data (I would consider it between low and medium scale) and it was atrocious, in too many ways. It doesn't scale without tremendous effort an

This is a step backwards imho. The fit and finish of this site betrays much about the language and its amazing community. This feels amateurish, with enough people complaining about the interactive repl and lacking information, this should

We use Haskell extensively for all of our cloud services software at Plumlife and it has been one of the best engineering decisions of my career. Amazing language and ecosystem.

I have no idea why you're being downvoted but you're absolutely right. You can create a new repo, click on "releases", click on "draft new release". Type in the description in markdown (easier than HTML) and up

They should use cryptol instead which was recently open sourced.
