CoffeeScript compiles to JavaScript and it can run natively on V8/node.js (since V8/node.js executes JavaScript)...

Stuff like (fab) and CoffeeScript* show how easy it is to build on top of the V8 and node.js platform. And these toy languages/frameworks also have great perfomance given the non-blocking nature of node.js and the optimizations of V8. Amazi

I think you have misunderstood something. Comet is a general way of pushing back events as they happen and there are different ways of implementing comet, two of these ways are using long poll and using WebSockets... Why you should care abo

His hack isn't about running commands inside Emacs, but Emacs in fullscreen mode and Emacs window management - and... Vim can do pretty much the same as what he shows in that blog post and in his screenshots.

I don't think it's enough to just add JIT. For a runtime system the garbage collector is important, it's important to do optimizations such as V8's hidden classes, function inlining, to remove the GIL etc. This is probably the reason why th

Some time ago I looked for something similar and found Pyflakes, which uses Python's compiler module to do some simple checks. This looks more promising. I have patched Pyflakes and I usually use it when refactoring code (check out http://

You are working for Google and you have evil motives. You have access to Gmail's data, search logs and Google Documents (among other things). With this information it's pretty damn easy to hack anyone that uses Google products - - as users

CoffeeScript + node.js + V8 could produce one amazing language and implementation. Great job on the syntax, I think it's cleaner and more readable than JavaScript.

Most != all :) Tokyo Tyrant and Redis are some of the fastest key-value stores and when I stated that it wasn't with them in mind. There are tons of other key-value stores that can't beat the perfomance of MySQL. I agree that replication in

This seems to be a pretty good implementation of FriendFeed's schema-less MySQL ( http://bret.appspot.com/entry/how-friendfeed-uses-mysql ) and this option would probably beat most of the simple key-value stores in terms of perfomance, ba

I would love if they open-sourced their infrastructure tools such as GFS, BigTable and Map-Reduce tools. Most of these tools are built using open-source technology such as Linux.

We used Yahoo's compressor for both JS and CSS ( http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/ ). An example of our JavaScript can be seen here: http://statics.plurk.com/5578b0a824368f9af6afa9dd6e8abf64.js . You can see that not all the va

I can't disclose much on the legal aspects, since I might say something stupid. A few months from now I hope the war story will be similar to David vs. Goliath, because that is our current situation - i.e. we are fighting vs. a billion doll

If you mean "obvious" then you should use "obvious" and not "stupid" - - because they are different words with different meaning... For example, selling books online is an obvious idea, but not "stupid" and it isn't easy either. Selling boo

Stallman isn't crazy. He is an extremist just like Ghandi was an extremist. I think many years from now we will view Stallman as our times Ghandi - - someone who was extreme, but fought for a good cause.

This post would have been much better if the name was faked. Exposing a person like this is simply rude - - and should not be seen as humor, but as an attack on another person.

I am a bit disappointed by this abstraction, especially given what power Clojure gives for creating DSLs. This "SQL DSL" seems to resemble a lot on how database handling works in Java. The people behind ClojureQL should take a look at Pytho
