TCP is certainly overkill in my case, since all my RPCs happens on a very stable network with a small and local-ish topology. Using "fire and forget" multicast for logging and perception sounds interesting. And modelling systems i

ZeroMQ is not really at TCP level, ZeroMQ is about sending messages to and from various semantic endpoints, such as REP and REQ sockets, specifically made for doing RPC. If I was using TCP, I'd have to do a _lot_ of work myself (keepin

I did look up HTTP pipelining before rolling with this, it is severly limited. It can only really do sequential requests concurrencly, not an arbitrary mishmash of requests and replies as ZeroMQ can. Also, pipelining should only do idempote

I'm curious, did you have some sort of timeout mechanic for your REP sockets? I don't, but I've never had problems either because I don't have that much traffic.

OP here, the examples are using JeroMQ. Actually, that's a lie, I use JZMQ. But the APIs are identical :)

ZeroMQ's approach is that of many threads where you don't share any state across them, you just pass messages. I'm not an expert on the subject, so all I can say is that according to the authors of ZeroMQ, this is a good way

I mean "kill -9" on the server process. I'm not under that much load, though. From reading the other comments, my suspect is REQ/REP socket lockstep, which I've never encountered, but that I guess would happen if so

How do you manage connections? Do you use keep-alive or not? If so, you have some sort of connection pool mechanism in order to be able to perform requests in parallel? These two problems is the main reason for why I switched to a MQ instea

OP here, thanks for making that clear. I intentionally tried to keep the Clojure code as generally easy to read as possible, and aside from the big Clojure win (more specifically, functional programming win) towards the end, the code is pre

I've never come across this. I'm able to kill my server (the one with the REP sockets), submit a form on the web page, have the HTTP request in the browser hang (that under the hood proxies to ZeroMQ), start up the server, and hav

One insight is that functional programming and pure functional programming are very different beasts. As an example, Clojure does not aim to be pure, Haskell does. In Clojure, the focus is on immutability, and state is modeled as a successi

That's interesting! Perhaps one of the future cards will be a Xeon Phi 50 core x86.

The actual requirement is a video player that implements HTTP live streaming. Not sure why they don't just put the URL for that on the page. When the stream goes live I'm sure someone will post the URL here though. VLC supports HT

Ouch, I wasn't aware that CAs issued this type of "root" certificates. Is this very common, or will only some CAs do it? If the latter, I'll definitely remove them from my computers list of trusted CAs.. Edit: read the DANE article, seems v

They would either need the private key of the certificate holder (which they don't have), or a certificate signed by one of the roots installed on the system, which they also won't have. I suppose the logical next step is that Comcast requi

Interesting side effect of not serving the entire blog post on the blog itself - the code in your posts won't be indexed by Google on your site, only on gist.github.hom?

My takeaway from the presentation at Clojure West is that Pedestal is a generic perception library, and rendering UIs is just one of many things it will be used for. Also, this is very alpha stuff, so many of the details are yet to be worke

I think I'll put this to use in an internal admin/support system in need of search. All the data is on the client already (AngularJS), and it's less than thousand docs for now.

Linux runs on Linksys routers (dd-wrt, for example), so Linux != lots of power :) There are some cool boards you can get pretty cheap with 10/100 ethernet, which is probably all you need for an internet conneciton (I have 60 up/down at home

I use a home-built router and a TP-link WiFi access point, works great! Building your own router is as simple as having a Linux box with two ethernet plugs and installing a DHCP server, and some iptables tweaking for NAT.

I'm wondering if it would make sense to build an OS based on principles important in functional programming, such as immutability. I can't think of any benefits right off the bat, but I'm also no OS designer..
