I really like the Logical Physical Clocks paper. I'm glad you mentioned it :) There's also Hybrid Vector Clocks which seem to accomplish the same goal as Bloom clocks: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/2f05/8c7

Thanks for the recommendation! However, there are a few reasons why Vert.X wasn't considered, the biggest ones being that we're not a Java shop and the service in this blog post isn't HTTP/REST. While the bandwidth bench

I work with Wael. Development is still ongoing. One implementation uses Golang, the other uses F# with a library that wraps libuv for faster network performance. Pony was used to write the stress-testing client for both implementations.

I learned Ponylang, and I studied a lot of papers about Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs). However, I haven't yet quite combined the two. I'm looking forward to applying them more in 2019.

Most of America's landscapes were managed by indigenous peoples for tens of thousands of years. The idea of Europeans sailing to find a sparsely-populated wilderness is a myth. Tenochtitlan was one of the largest cities in the world in

I was about to bring up Victor Frankl. I'm happy you beat me to it. In addition, consider the story of Admiral James Stockdale, who was kept in a P.O.W camp in Vietnam for 7 years. His memoir explicitly mentions Stoic philosophy as hav

Key quote: "All the classical philosophers that some alt-righters claim to revere put virtue before brute power. The Stoics, in particular, were cosmopolitans – they believed in a universal moral code that transcends race, gender or na

LFE does have data structure literals for some of the main data types in Erlang. You have #() for tuples, #M() for maps, and #B() for binary syntax. Clojure additionally has syntax for vector literals, but vectors don't seem to be used

Factor has the words if, when, unless, cond and case. That should usually be enough for anyone's needs. That said, I suspect that nesting conditional statements 3 or even 2 levels deep would become difficult to read. As a result, it&#x

The publication is mainly about Lisps, and is written by Michael Fogus, a core contributor to Clojure/Clojurescript, and author of a couple books on Clojure. I think that his intended readership is expected to be more familiar with Clo

The space shuttle couldn't land and take off on a planet whose atmosphere doesn't support it, hence why SpaceX is trying to do the same via rocket propulsion.

I would love to see some of your Acme setup. Emacs and Acme are my two favorite editors, but using Acme is a little less feasible for me due to not having found a proper (3-button + trackball) mouse to use with it. While I was using Acme, t
