Ling, the Erlang VM directly on Xen seems neat.[0] Folks have talked about composable OS frameworks / domain-specific OSes in the usual suspects of Erlang, OCaml, perhaps Haskell... especially useful for soft-realtime / embedded.

Code rot: LOL and amen. I had to (help) make a nuclear reactor simulator work on Win32. 30+ megalines of Fortran developed by mostly nuclear engrs over three decades. Thankfully it worked in reasonable time by disabling swapping.

Thanks. The speaker mentions Haskell, hopefully the religion isn't so important as the code patterns.

10.10 upgrade was a full reinstall PITA. But the tweaks, hackarounds (EasySIMBL, pqrs.org, etc.) and firewalls (icefloor and hands off) makes the pretty thing fairly usable. Nit picks: - iBooks uses up 100% of CPU randomly by pegging store

Check out https://youtu.be/xKRndVoo2ms , it explains how monads can refactor messy things like call chaining if you're building SQL-like result interfaces.

Yup, people will still ask "WTF are monads?" just like they'll soon ask "WTF are (combinators|arrows|...)?", and there will inevitably be more tutorials, as per [0]. :) It's clarity of explanation that makes an

Config is ultra-sensitive information. It's like not having the right .gitignore if you're backing up /etc in git or not having enough password log filters. The issue is that ultimately, one has to trust some infrastructure

Ultimately, secrets need to live somewhere and need to be accessed as plain text. Just make sure that the access as small window is as possible, and try to obliterate it after use, if possible. If one absolutely needs to centralize secrets

There's a bigger issue: using computational and mathematical complexity that is confusing to large swaths of mere mortal coders. This is sadly why languages, to pick on some easy target religions like PHP and so on have proliferated.

The most terrible reality is that the capability for tracking virtually all long-haul airframes (99.999%) already exists. It's called Inmarsat FANS-1/a ADS-C, which is now being offered to all airlines for free, post-MH370. It w

It would also be interesting to have the "top X most corporate-spin control pretending to be content but got caught reverting and adding edits" pages.

Some of these designed wouldn't work in places like San Francisco if you own a vehicle that just barely fits into said garage. The entire interior/exterior operating clearance would need to be available and measured carefully.

It's only when someone gets killed from something is anything done and then it's quickly forgotten back to the regular pattern.

Wow, sounds like the typical heres-the-teaching-plan-dont-ask-me-why, NCBLA, spoon-fed idiocracy. Back in highschool, thankfully we had one honest guy that just let us do whatever the fuck we wanted (which was pretty awesome). All of the b

If there were such a thing, it had fatigued and/or rusted to such a degree that it clearly failed to contain sufficiency energy because a ceiling tile had to be replaced and the ceiling above that had to be patched. (Cheap rental hous

No, you had something entirely different so don't try to trivialize something you don't know anything about. Ours fired through the ceiling of the garage and gouged the underside of the roof sheeting because of how the door and s

I guess if you really, really had a use case for it, binary patching using one of the open-source solutions might be feasible. Otherwise, HA load-balancing FTW.
