I wonder how right you are? I suspect you're probably spot on. If that's the case, who's rushing for gold now that we're paying attention too?

I couldn't believe someone would post this "twitter is killing the newsletter" stuff the day after you posted that extensive post yesterday Jason... clearly they're not reading HN.

That's an amazingly simplistic concept with an awesome result. It probably could have been built by a kid with a RC car hobbie, but it was built by a company that just scored another government contract and was aided by MIT. Kinda funny.

awesome post, good quotes from smart people. I particularly liked Guy Kawasaki's response. Short, sweet, included some alltop links :)

Big loss for MS. They touted the London Stock Exchange as a case-study for awhile. Now where can I find the source for the exchange?

Emails are the original "push" and it still works. The "FWD:" is like the original retweet. Emails are part of nearly every person's life in the modern world at varying degrees. How can Email lists not be successful? It may not be sexy,

@sadache I can appreciate how you feel. I've certainly posted hard work on HN plenty of times only to be criticized. Regarding my reaction, it certainly wasn't meant aggressive, but it was a negative review. I appreciate you getting these

I love watching Joe Armstrong speak, he's so dynamic, fun, and energetic. This was my first opportunity to see Jones. Listening to the two of them together was great fun to hear their discussion. The InfoQ interviewer was terrible though :

I love it. Keeps comment voting honest it seems.

Heh, that's a good question. I was thinking in the context of von Neumann arch, but it's a good argument that it's symbolic manipulation. In that case, any language will do... but the best programmers I know almost intrinsically know the

You need a curriculum, no doubt, I'm with you 100%. I think it's especially important to teach different paradigms. I've noticed for myself, that functional languages "gel" better for me than do object oriented languages. That doesn't seem

I love python, so I think this is fantastic for the language and the community. I was taught Java at school... I hated it even then. However, the higher level languages abstract away the core of computer science. ANSI-C is what should be

I'm not necessarily bullish enough on twitter to say this is a good investment, but I suspect when they actually find a way to make money, they're going to bank . The fact people are willing to bridge them 100M+ until they figure it out bl

Being the person who blogged twice re: twisted.web vs tornado, I find Ted's post comical but irrelevant. I appreciate a lot of the other comments people have made on this thread. On the greater state of the HN community... I find that seve

wow... The test was run on two VMs on the Rackspace cloud using the public IP addresses.

The reason why I used "hello world" is two-fold #1. because it's what Bret from Friendfeed used in his testing #2. it tests the core framework code, anything more is testing code I write.

by roder 17y ago
I think your point is really valid, though I think the relevancy of the tests were to test the claims made by Bret from tornado. Glyph made a really good point, tornado comes with zero automated tests... Ultimately after conducting these t

Yes, I know exactly what was running on those virtual machines. They were purpose built for this test, nothing else was creating load on those servers.

by roder 17y ago
I did split the machines. The driver (the one running the test) machine is completely different than the webserver running twisted.web or tornado.

OK OK OK, sheesh, I'm going to redo the test. I was out of town over the weekend and really haven't had a chance to update it. It is a small scale test, it was done on my macbook pro... I'm redoing it on better hardware and tests.

by roder 17y ago
If you read the comments in the blog, it's likely just related to the platform. I did the test on my mac, which certainly isn't the final say... I'll redo the test today different hardware today.

I thought that glyph's response was appropriate and on the mark. It seemed to me that Bret had taken a few jabs at Twisted without really providing quantitate evidence. Particularly the comments about being "demo-quality" and "tons of bugs
