I actually wrote this. Problem is, cheapest VoIP termination is ~$8 a month (not to mention server/bandwidth costs). We had a nice system where you could group contacts and depending on both your location and 'status', certain people would

You aren't describing Monads. You are describing a particular Monad. You can use the same 'monad pattern' for a variety of stuff such as state computations to mimic mutability, asynchronous pipelining, IO (which if i'm not mistaken is pr

Random question, is category theory helpful in working out equations with quantum topology?

I'm almost certain prism is NOT open source, while the front end of Tropo is. Did something change in the last year?

Ok guys, we really need to standardize a Telco REST api. It seems most people are copying Twilios, but at this point we have Tropo, Twilio, Plivio, TelAPI (Thank you for not having a wierd name at least), my own Open Source server, and what

I agree, unless he loses more than half his business, why not double his prices? Maybe he only makes one suit a month that way, but he would sure have a lot more free time...

MongoDB does pretty much everything the opposite of Oracle: Easy to setup, use and program. However, Oracle sure is raking in the dough, so is Mongo succeeding simply because they're fulfilling a niche left by Oracle, or because it's the 'r

It's funny, because the product we're working on is targeted at an existing Google product that is used a lot in the enterprise. "What would I do if Google enters your space" is largely backwards, we're going after the space Google is alr

Are you really arguing that the 'java' way in your example is superior to Scala's

It seems to me that Clojure exists on the idealogical extreme opposite of Haskell (standing next to it's little buddy Scala). How did you go from one extreme to the other and pick it as your 'primary' language. Isn't it like saying "I reall

I had the exact same experience! A light went off when I figured out how to elegantly sequence asynchronous calls in Scala, and it was then that I realized I was using Monads to do so. However, I am curious if python's solution looks ugly (

I think this is probably the wrong community to ask. I know a few social media consultants who manage all sorts of facebook feeds, twitter, google+(just kidding who uses that), along with other social networks and it might be useful to the

Coding is one of the most enjoyable things in life for me. There are times when a good coffee, nice music, and scala turn into hours of bliss. However, I just don't think it's possible to operate in the mindset required for good software e

Ok, given that we've got Plivo, Trello, and Twilio now, (and 2600hz?), can we start standardizing the CallAPI? I think it's a net win for everyone if users don't have to worry about api lock-in....

To me Scala isn't a whole new language, it's java with extra stuff (except the variable names/types are reversed).

I don't understand why people are excited for JDK8(!!!)s lambdas when you can have all that and more with Scala right now...

I think HBO is blowing smoke up the cable companies ass, and they are carefully calculating when to 'cut the cord' so to speak. HBOGO is just too slick of an application to have been an afterthought freebie for it's current customers. We

Oh. I misunderstood. I thought you were asking for examples of other 'easy to understand' mathematical concepts that programmers get stuck on that you could try explaining. I admit, public key crypto isn't always easy to explain, but I be

ConcurrentHashMap is not lock free, it uses lock striping across multiple buckets.

This whole idea of the self taught programmer is a little disingenuous, because while I fit the stereotypical mold of one (no college degree, no formal computer science education), I was anything but self taught. To claim so would be to dis

I wish there was some technology that could take a bunch of code and warn you of common errors before having it execute and 'noisily crash the page it was on'. Maybe someday...

Instead you'd prefer the team to just pick Java or a lesser JVM language over Scala because they're cautious about some of the complexities implicit conversions bring? If there was a safe, 'simpler' subset of Scala, I think you'd see a lot

Because if you're nesting blocks deep enough that you can't track them with simple parenthesis matching, you should probably be breaking them out into separate methods. I dunno, there could be legitimate reasons, but every time I'm confused

Can you elaborate? Do you mean that the criticism is valid (which I agree is), or that you agree with the conclusion of the detriments outweighing the benefits?

You can absolutely have race conditions in Erlang, along with deadlocks too.
