This is really more nathanmarz's Storm more than Twitter's Storm. He wrote it at BackType with the intention of open sourcing it, and when Twitter bought BackType they apparently didn't ask him not to. So, it makes sense that it's being r

See: https://github.com/flatland/cake and https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen . No Maven involved. The only other comparable standard virtual machines are LLVM and CLR. Python doesn't really make sense in that it's a language, not

Being JVM-based is a feature, not a bug. There's huge amounts of industrial-strength code available in Java, so you completely get around the lack-of-libraries problem. It might not be so hard to write an HTTP library in <lang>,

It's just a convention to make it easier to be consistent, simplify your markup, and make development easier. Having a grid with a few defined classes for fitting into that grid is much simpler than building each page from the ground up.

Why do you say you'll never be able to access these? Because you don't get things done and lack the reasoning abilities necessary to get said things done? Sure, there are people who just aren't capable of performing at the level necessary

Is this where the inspiration for http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html came from, given it happened a few years prior?

Breadth-first search means crawling all of the links on the page and adding all of the links on the child pages to the queue at once rather than drilling down on one link-path first before moving to the other links on the first page. There

What kind of resources are allocated to each dyno? Could you, say, run a Solr server from a worker dyno? What about some other custom service that uses a lot of memory? Are they hard or soft limits? This sounds really cool, but it doesn

It's also a little hard to believe that it was a "financial burden" for one of the richest corporations in the world. I think you underestimate the computational resources required here.

Oh god I so hope that Rich ignores this. A "just say yes" mindset is incredibly dangerous; yeah, ok, a trillion people use C++ but that doesn't make it a good language. Clojure to date has been built with great discipline, and it would be

I have a few invites left... email's in my profile if you want them (and will actually use it). Totally worth it in my opinion. AT&T + airlines + hotels + random other things you discover all the time.

I just have to disagree here. I learned to code in a Starbucks in New York City, totally immersed in my computer for hours on end every day for a summer, years ago. Today I work from them whenever I possibly can, even if this means Zipcar

Congratulations! You've found a problem that can't be solved in a weekend spent hacking! Despite the intricacies, it is still almost entirely a CRUD app, though: which means you have the skill set to implement it. No PhD in machine learni

That's not true. There's lot of cases of particularly charged words in certain languages lacking a direct emotional analog in others. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3830521.stm for one example; Russian has many like this, too. T

I see this and I think, "notifications aren't a Very Difficult Problem; DNA sequencing is a Very Difficult Problem." Living in the echo chamber can be fun, but the way we can lose perspective is incredible.
