DMCA compliance, or at least DMCA-as-interpreted-by-various-labels compliance. Shame about loved tracks, but the "my library" station is the best, and that will still work.

Don't blame the player, blame the game. Tax loopholes should be closed in law, Google and other corporations have a responsibility to their shareholders - why shouldn't they act within the law to save money? I remember seeing a fun flow-cha

I tested one server up to 1 million concurrent connections a couple of years ago, search for sysctl in this article to see the settings I used: http://www.metabrew.com/article/a-million-user-comet-applica...

I like that it has the capability to be an email queue build in, by supporting SMTP/SSL. Worth installing just for that, since that's the first thing lots of websites want a message queue for.

This article is specifically about building OTP releases that can be deployed in the "proper" way for live updates. "Live-upgrades to IRCCloud.com with Erlang/OTP" would be a better title :)

I'm currently building a web-based IRC client with bouncer-like functionality - ie, stays online when you close the browser, remembers backlog etc. Built github.com/RJ/playdar-core in erlang, after initially writing it in C++/boost

I'm finding it really hard to be sympathetic after hearing so many of these kind of stories. There's no way in hell I'd develop anything for iOS while the only way to distribute is via the app store. I have some serious cognitive dissonance

Sorry, but pre-9.0, Postgres replication is neither reliable nor easy to setup/admin. It's absolutely the worst thing about (pre-9.0) Postgres, and I'm glad the core team finally caved and made it a first-class feature. Slony caused us no e

Anyone know the ratio of public/private repos?

I don't have Gnome installed (kubuntu 10.04), and got the same. The core package works fine though.

I only have Spotify unlimited (no mobile support), not premium.. Even tho I don't get ads, it won't let me log in. Back to running it with wine, which runs adequately.

Only slight linux issue is you can't switch from nvidia to onboard graphics card without restarting X (last I checked). I have an older model 11.1" vaio TZ running linux atm, it's great.

This is great news, and rather unexpected. I'm running the cyanogen firmware on my nexus one specifically for the wifi hotspot app. (the multicolored trackball is just a bonus). I'll probably stick to the default firmware once 2.2 comes out

Doodle is great, used it to organise an office LAN party recently. No reg, no hassle - just works, highly recommended.

This is great, a lot nicer than the sparsely documented C api you get from ei and erl_interface. I've been looking at ways to build decent native desktop gui apps that hook into an erlang backend, this might do the trick (Qt).

Nice hack. Hacks involving strace and awk are fun, the only thing that could have improved this is to somehow involve netcat too.

This is awesome. The full lists for SF and London are here: http://github.com/mattb/flotsam/tree/master/github-recruitme... Looks like I'm languishing at #27 in the London list, better get back to work..

So presumably he could re-open the site, and not face further prosecution, provided the service didn't change?

Given the current legal quagmire that is the joltid/skype/ebay saga, I doubt they could open source the whole thing even if they wanted to.

Because it's not a sexy problem to work on, so no-one really wants to spend any time making it better.

There is an experimental OS X package, you'd need to ask on IRC for it atm (mxcl is crafting it). Windows packages will be next.

I like "post-relational", but NoSQL is catchy, and has stuck. At least we have a shared vocabulary now.

I'm a bit late to the discussion on HN, but I responded in comments to the article stating that I removed the ping/pong code before running sloccount for the lan plugin. Even so, the c++ style means there will have been a slight linecount i

Playdar is consuming most of my spare time at the mo :) We're pretty active on the IRC channel (linked from the site) so join and say hello if you're interested in investigating/using/contributing. I'll be at the boston music hackday in nov
