You sound like every contractor being hired everyday in the DC Metro area.

Akka does have supervisors. If you find Scala to be a happier syntax than Erlang (eye of the beholder), than Akka is worth looking into. It appears to be directly inspired by OTP and Erlang's "let it crash" ideology.

Libraries like Akka < http://akka.io/&#62 ; or the Celluloid stack < http://celluloid.io/&#62 ; are nice and bring the good parts of OTP to more "friendlier" languages but you're still missing some fundamentals the Erlang VM which b

Great slides. I've been toying casually with a FP project for Python. It's an attempt to bring common FP abstractions and lazy evaluation of sequences using generators. It's a work in progress, and I often think to myself, "Is this a good

Why does it need to be a disposable missile? Can't they fit a drone with this? Of course I'm assuming it is disposable.

This basically describes my use of Dropbox. Anything important to me that's not code is stored in Dropbox. Every computer I have dropbox on and which has 100GB free, has a copy of those files so if Dropbox vanished, I still have a replicat

I don't know how you can say that knowing functional programming inherently makes you a better programmer than another. A bad programmer is a bad programmer regardless of domain. I have seen some ninja FP artists that have written some rea

Aw, I know the benefits. I hoped this would help me find a way to fit it in.

Tent should take a page from Jabber and create gateways which will post for you on other social networks much like Jabber had for non-Jabber IM services. That way you could have a backup of all your social data, stored on your server if you

I would think ISPs would love to host folk's social network servers. Just think of all the social data they'd have at their disposal for whatever they could use it for.

dang and all this time I've been doing this all this time: echo '{"hello": "there"}' | python -c "import json, sys; print json.dumps(json.load(sys.stdin), indent=4)" Thanks for the tip!

Erlang's error handling is very well thought out. In fact, error handling is the main reason Erlang is shaped the way it is. It is a combination of Go's technique but with panics for exceptional errors. Like Go, functions should return err

I implemented something like this to notify interested parties in realtime of changes to a shared data element for synchronization. It is basically eventual consistency using op-based CRDTs.

The Nexus 7 out shines the Kindle Fire, not because the N7 is more powerful, the N7 beats out the Kindle Fire because it isn't crippled. A Kindle Fire with CM9 on it is only worse than the N7 because CM9 is buggier and ICS is uglier than st

It would be awesome if they're keeping stats on each language so that we can find out which language is the easiest to type.

I would really love to know what he did to tune that Rackspace VM. I had a terrible time trying to get node.js and others to get past 5,000 concurrent websocket connections on a m1.large EC2 instance or on Rackspace.

A week with the Erlang language, which will enable to write projects that would be on par or better than anything written in node.js as far as resilient and scalability. Probably another week to get up to speed with OTP for all the promises

So your argument is that web developers are too stupid to remember Erlang. Tell that to all those Django developers that have to juggle Python, HTML, CSS and Javascript! They must be superheros! Ruby on Rails developers must be as well!

Is it possible to send raw bytes as WebSocket messages or are we forced to use MessagePack. I can see the benefit of sending structured data but for images or sound, what's the benefit of a intermediary serialization format vs chunked bina

Python isn't a hard language to learn. It's probably easier to learn Python than to port this to PHP.

Not only is prohibition pointless; the actual harm caused by guns is relatively low compared to other causes. More people are harmed by cars than handguns.

A decentralized twitter clone wouldn't be that hard; just mimic Email with subscriptions. The hard part is getting adoption.

I used jsfiddle in the past only because I knew its name. jsbin is a lot less clunky. I'm sure I'll use it a lot more.

I think this is apt. When I learned Clojure, I had the same thought that it is a better Python. Once you gain paren blindness, Clojure code starts to look a lot like Python. Macros, immutability, real concurrency, destructuring all make f

I'm not an iPad user and I really love my N7 but I notice this lag occur a few times yesterday. I suspected that it was due to high CPU load but didn't have the time to investigate it. It actually occurred while I was showing off the N7 on
