For an Erlang OTP page it doesn't cover much OTP :-) It doesn't even mention gen_server.

Seattle has a potential, but it's not a boom until we see more VC/angel activity, which is a good indicator. It has a pretty good tech scene. Most startups are still consumer oriented though, so Jared Wray, CTO from CenturyLink, i

Even the snow isn't that great :-) You get really nice snow one day. It starts melting the next day and the day after it gets really cold and everything turns into ice. Not great conditions for snowboarding/skiing...

I'm curious if there's another Boston and New England :-) The Boston where I lived 10+ years had a lousy weather where you can't survive without an air conditioner during summers because it's so humid. Moving to Seattle&

Even in the 90s Java decompilers existed, so the "We had no source code" excuse sounds a bit strange :-)

Nodyn is an effort to run node.js apps on top of Vert.x. JavaScript alone is not enough to make Vert.x popular for node.js people. You need to be able to leverage the node.js module echosystem. Hopefully Nodyn will do that, so you can use y

What a shocker... a Java guy says that you shouldn't abandon Java :-) Lots of wild speculations... especially about the reasons PayPal picked node.js/JavaScript instead of a Ruby stack. He says that Ruby wasn't chosen because

Smiling there is more personal... and smiles are more valuable. And just like with anything valuable or good if there's too much of it it looses its value (a bit like money and inflation or recent startup valuations :-))

Interesting I/O limitations in Kinesis: 1MB/s writes with 1000 writes/s 2MB/s reads with 5 read/s

Looks like AWS decide to put this capability in their Kinesis Client Library, which keeps track of the checkpoints in DynamoDB.

EnterpriseDB has a nice set of PostgreSQL installers for all platforms. It also bundles PgAdmin 3 if you need a GUI. It's not as hip as PG Commander, but it's a real client that can do pretty much anything (vs PG Commander where y

The Kinesis consumer API is somewhat equivalent to the Simple Consumer API in Kafka. You'll have to manage the consumed sequence number yourself. There's no higher level consumer API to keep track of the consumed sequence numbers.

Having to base64 encode data is also a bit awkward. They should be passing PutRecord parameters as HTTP headers (which they are already using for other properties) and let users pass raw data in the body.

The 50KB limit on data (base64 encoded data) will be a gotcha you'll have to deal with similar to the size limit in DynamoDB. Now you'll have to split your messages so they fit inside the Kinesis records and then you'll have

This statement is pretty funny given the focus on intentional transition to Scala: "So, no hard decision has been made about our future languages or technologies, and there are no rules that all new development must happen in Scala.&qu

You'll need to make sure you set boundaries for your full time job otherwise they tend to claim all of your personal time, which is no easy task. If you area really lucky and if your side project/startup involves open source code

It would be great if they could add Django, RoR, and Node/Express.js to improve their security proactively. They can definitely use that :-)

This guy is completely clueless about burnout. Lack of progress or lack of success lead to depression and not burnout. Burnout is caused by "sprinting" for too long resulting in prolonged exhaustion. "Sprinting" is ok for very short periods

They use server side encryption to store documents on Amazon S3. This doesn't do much because the data is transparently decrypted when it's accessed (note: yes, it does require their aws account access keys).
