thing is, in a distributed system/remote server, there is no real difference between a dead and a stale server.

by di4na 10y ago
worse than that. I am working on rebuilding that logging and monitoring system for the servers. The whole infra date from the early 2000s. But the worst part is the lack of knowledge and talent. 15 years of stagnation does no good.

Add to that the administrative environment. One to two months to incorporate, really complex stuff to implement when pass the 20 then 50 employees bar, etc etc.

I can not find a quote because the numbers are hidden. But i am in an engineering school, i am in the top 10%, and it is true. There was even a note from the ministry this year asking engineering school to stop the mandatory semester in a f

Nearly all erlang devs knows it. It is the class they try to get rid of by using erlang.

let's say they try. I work for a car manufacturer closely with the team that deal with the data from "connected car". Their data processign and storing stuff is... let say far from being able to use these data.

The thing is, in Alan Kay talks, he more point to independent interpreters that can be sequential locally. But the idea is that you can at any point of time, swap that locality for a non local one if you need it. That is the point behind ob

to be precise : Erlang was modeled from Smalltalk and Prolog, with a bit of Lisp. They did not knew about Hewitt and the Actor model when they created it, and only learned about it later. about the nine nines : it was a british telecom comp

Well as people using Erlang can say, this is not a big problem. The real question is, how much of your code really need to be simple procedure call. The answer is, not that much. Interestingly.
641.
by di4na 10y ago
not exactly. Inside an Actor, the Actor model of Hewitt say nothing. You can do whatever you want to decide what you do with the next message.

Well welcome to nearly all political theory. There is a reason we are still stuck with some fairly well known different systems for all these years. Human bahaviour is the same so far. And saying that we need to modify human behaviour to ma

infrastructure : electricity, roads, price of land, availability of workforce, water, temeprature, closeness to the backbones. Add that to the density of users and the timing they expect. Once you factor all that, you end up with a limited

Yes. The news is basically "still in the roadmap, we got a bit more of time budget from it" from the OTP team. It is not something you will see tomorrow, but it is a long standing thing in the roadmap for the team. Of course, if y

From my pov : welcome to the fact that a huge part of the web still is handled by tons of never finished perl script and old Js stuff, that had to scale and evolve despite noone making it scale and evolve. It is closer to that. We got a ton

About Erlang memory model : The answer is that Erlang has two different memory models, because it has two paradigms. Inside an Actor, you are running whatever you want. That sequential part of erlang has a graph memory model, but you could

There is a market for stuff like that that integrate into tools, especially for factories. But it needs more integration and investment, and it needs to be able to sale to big entreprisey world, where you compete with IBM, Cisco and co. But

As someone that is inside a historic car manufacturer right now in IT : The latter. They have had 20 years of having nothing to deliver and reduction in budget. It shows. Engines and mechanical parts are good, mainly because it makes the ca

my personal take on it : the most you break it, the most you may get money to fix the shit. So contrary. Guerilla IT. You push for auto update so that they get a motivation to clean shit.

The other way around. If you can get out with doing it the wrong way, why even care about there being a good way ?

more like 100%. But the better solution may be to reverse than instead of coping with the system in place.

Well then add the needed Preemptive move of tasks. Erlang does it and the force behind it was far less funded than most recent stuff like Go... Ok i am a bit tongue in cheek, but still.

RabbitMQ is written in erlang. So basically you use it natively instead of bringing and configurating a big dependency. It just come with your language for free without needing another process, etc etc.
658.
by di4na 10y ago
Knowing that RabbitMQ is full erlang, why bring a really big dependency if you have all the things in your everyday language anyway ?

Because none of the "highly intelligent" skills pays that well. This is sad but true.

Just to remind that all tentative to follow "inflation" in eve show that the inflation is nearly inexistant...
