Initially Meteor didn't have any support for testing apps. Since it has always had support for testing packages, teams generally had to split their app up into several private packages to allow for testing (with benefits to modularity

I would guess dehydration also played a not insignificant part in your symptoms. When it happened to me (dehydration, not sleep deprivation), the extreme fatigue was the weirdest part. Surreal and disturbing how little I could move.

In this case, I think the more accurate example would be Meteor + React [1]. You can still show the "wait for data to be ready" state as you described. (For those interested, follow the linked tutorial.) The Kadira team have eve

I don't have the perspective yet to compare this to other works on OTP but this book may be of value to you: "Designing for Scalability with Erlang/OTP" [1]. It is co-authored by Francesco Cesarini, founder of Erlang So

The Meteor framework [1] uses this to good effect to support latency compensation. You can optionally choose to include Meteor methods (ajax-style remote endpoints) on the client. Then when the method is called, the client-side version is

I'd suggest, "The Tough Parts", as you mention in the preface. Not sure who your target market is but as a professional developer who writes javascript daily, "The Tough Parts", piques my curiosity and sounds like a

No argument here. OP specifically mentioned advanced typing, tooling, and distribution. Rust covers at least two out of the three (can't speak to tooling) so I thought OP might like to explore it a bit.

You may wish to explore Rust - http://www.rust-lang.org/ . I can't speak to tooling but it has advanced typing and ease of distribution seems similar to Go. Edit: mea culpa for my attempt at tongue-in-cheek humor, &qu

> Meteor.js is basically Ruby on Rails for Node.js and MongoDB... As a long-time user of Meteor in production I have to say this is just about the exact opposite of how I think of Meteor. I'd encourage anyone interested to try out

Very nice work. Given the prevalence of Bootstrap and Foundation, it would probably help adoption if there were options with those as the base styling lib. I know there is a lot of work in the custom sass here and this is currently a one-m

The switch to tabs for me came after I started using vimperator/pentadactyl in my web browser, which I find glorious. (Sorry no links, on mobile) I used "lusty juggler" before but 'gt' is a very natural way for me t

At the time of writing, no. See the linked discussion. The real issue here, as the RightScale guys point out, is that there is no way to reliably provision a patched instance. Although the comment in the discussion forum by the EC2 fleet

Very interesting! To help give some context is it similar to Xamarin's approach but uses Javascript instead of C# as the base language? Also curious if you will be encouraging/hosting a components store similar to http:/&#x

Quake 1 and 2 source code was excellent to go through. I'd imagine the Quake 3 Arena source would also be great but haven't done that yet.

Yes, it can get very complicated trying to handle all the edge cases as you described. I would guess doing it the same way erlang does it is actually the simplest: let it crash. This gets into coding mindset, my impression is that most erla

I imagine you would do what erlang does for you, just manually - isolate individual server instances, do the update, then make them public again. Say for example you are updating code in your service's web-tier. Have your LBs not send

I made a load-testing tool using Clojure [1] and it did seem like a bit of an unusual use case for functional programming. Upon researching further, I found that was actually to be expected as Object Oriented Programming was originally impl

This seems like it would be a "truth in advertising" violation. From your pictures, normal recourse looks like binding arbitration but maybe the truth in advertising angle can make it a bigger deal. Especially since someone else
