Why not ask the same question of Nike or Addidas? The number of people who wear sportswear for fashion FAR outstrips those who wear it for sports alone. And that cash cow seems far from milked, what with the recent fashion trend of athliesu

I'm quite naive regarding Power processors; does anyone know where I can see any motherboards with prices for power processors, or even if any of the BSDs run on them? It seems like it would be quite a nice platform/OS combination

Not everyone needs a distributed solution. Sometimes, "beefing up the box" is enough for most systems, not everyone needs Facebook grade scaling tools. As they say, scaling is a nice problem to have.

Which would make things a lot more complicated - vs. issuing a move command on a job id where the server would be responsible for making sure the atomic move succeeded. It's not a difficult feature to implemented (in fact if I recall t

I quite like text based protocols like this, beanstalkd and memcache. Very straight forward to write clients. Each interaction is stateless, and writing clients is trivial. Thats not to say a HTTP interface is that much more difficult to ad

Dunno about SOOPER GENIOUS, but I reckon he knows his stuff. He's certainly got the chops that prove it.

The idea was that you would reserve a job in a tube, do some work, then move that job to another tube upon success atomically, without the need to delete the job, then create the job in the new target tube. The problem is that if you create

This appears to be similar to beanstalkd but with some nice additions (scheduled time for job to run, jab max existence time). One of the things I awlays wanted beanstalkd to have was an atomic move-tube command, so you could emulate a stat

Why not just make QML a media type and a spec that browsers can to implement? Then we can do away with all this HMTL-Page-Is-An-App nonsense

For me, this sums up the current state of front-end web dev. If you have so much JS on page that it affects scrolling, the problem is not the scrolling...

Personally I don't see any of that happening - client-side app development on the web is a chaotic mess with no "official" (whatever that means) way of doing things. Throw into that mix the constant reinvention thats going on

"The main intent of introducing proto3 is to clean up protobuf before pushing the language as the foundation of Google's new API platform" Does anyone know if this means Google's public APIs will be proto3 based? I quite

Wow! Thats a great write up there. Excited to see some action and discussion on this problem.

Actually there has been a bit of movement on this board - they did some initial cost analysis and it came out way to expensive ($1000 a board!) so they are going back to the drawing board. You can follow along here: https://twitt

My understanding is it follows the 'plumbing and porcelain' pattern; behind the scenes there are lots of small commands that do one thing and one thing well (the plumbing) and one command that acts as a wrapper over all these comm

Isn't this what the "Tick-tock" method of releasing meant to resolve - the first phase, the tick, is all about new, bombastic features, the tock is about removing unused features and tidying up the codebase in general and foc

Interesting stuff. I was always intrigued by Plan9 (via Go). The same thought had crossed my mind too, that Plan9 may be a great dev environment for Go; apparently the 9p package is excellent.

Anyone had any experience running the RaspberryPi Plan9? It seems like the ideal way to set up a small cluster using some cheap RaspberryPi Zeros as compute, maybe one for file storage and another as a terminal.

I had the same experience; signed up to the mailing list because the articles looked like there was real depth (at last!) really digging deep in the aspects of design. I was also excited by the fact that he appeared to be arguing from a non

Exactly! I thought the point was that it was plain text that can be transposed to html. This mime-type designates it as a mark-UP, defeating the whole point!

All very valid points. It would be a shame if the project died. QML and Go just seem to be perfect partners.
