Which indeed is talking about stream processing. Play's stream processing uses iteratee IO to correct control inversions often suffered by networking libraries. However, Play does not offer automatic facilities for having variables (and int

For anyone interested in its claim of being reactive, as I was, the Play framework does not appear to support reactive programming [1]. From their samples and documentation, it looks like an event-driven server without any reactive aspects.

Your parent post spoke about going from one GC to another and having the problems disappear. Hence, it only implies that changing GC can have a useful effect. Your message does betray some confusion about garbage collection. The basic princ

That is overly conservative. A perfect garbage collector that always runs in reasonable time is provably impossible. What sambeau said is that it often holds on to [an allocation] for too long, which is true to varying extent of all garbage

I would certainly hope that nobody is blaming Boehm. He's provided a valuable tool that has some practical limitations, which are probably mostly due to the nature of conservative garbage collection. However, it's worth noting that you can'

My story is similar to nield's; I worked on a project that used the Boehm-Weiser collector in a 32-bit process. Once or twice a tear, we'd have an unbounded memory growth to trace. Most of the time, we were able to solve it by providing lay

I can appreciate that that (and the similar stories in reply) would happen. I recently successfully developed a complicated application using Knockout, but it involved fully committing to the rather strict computation model that is implied.

It's worth noting that the Spidermonkey engine does not have a global interpreter lock, but it may be true that MongoDB uses SpiderMonkey in a way similar in effect.

Many displays do indeed do blurring at the lesser end of the sharpness scale, as mseebach notes, and their 'no alteration' point is then normally about 10% from the bottom. It can be easily observed on edges that aren't text, even if text i

This is a common misconception. Advances in neuronal simulation do not at all map to traditional computing. The mere fact of running on a computer does not mean the simulated brain gains features intuitively expected of a computer (like rap

I don't disagree with your point, but the 'study' is essentially an anecdote about two incidents, in which the difference could just as easily be about the group members involved; I think one cannot draw significant conclusions from it, as
