Those posts don't tell me much about Clojure, except that Ruby wasn't fast enough and Java wasn't fun enough, and that the CTO digs Lisp. Doesn't give me concrete reasons why I couldn't do the same with Java + Netty

Not to mention you could easily rewrite the Java version in one line with a conditional, if you wanted. Whitespace in your code isn't always a bad thing IMHO.

Very nice, the examples are very clear and terse. I started on a similar project in C which is unique in that the game logic is written more-or-less procedurally and the library takes care of backtracking the game state to iterate through t

Well, Oracle has its SQL query tuning tools... but in a production system you often don't want too much magical optimization leading to erratic behavior/performance problems. Oracle also has a "plan stability" feature fo

The Dart editor is Eclipse-based, so the IDE at least is familiar.

Sorry, I meant up/downgraded the server. We stopped upgrading software at Redis 2.6 :)

For three years we've been using it as message bus, statistics tracker, and storing medium-term data (expires after 1 month). We've up/downgraded multiple times without issue.

For example: It's nice to be able to write a big hunk of state to persistent store and read it back in again with a single operation (like for app pause/resume) vs. iterating through a huge object graph and serializing. Of course

In theory, yes, MAD and Nash Equilibrium and all that. In practice, people and government are irrational and make mistakes (most notably in 1983 when we almost destroyed the world due to a false alarm) -- and the cost of policing this theor

Not if Kearns was substantially justified in bringing a suit under the Equal Access to Justice Act, which would be hard to deny based on his having demonstrated the invention to Ford. Kearns could have still taken the $18 million awarded to

Pretty much, yes. In fact I wonder how you can release a complicated product like a mobile device SDK nowadays without millions of eyes solving and documenting problems. I used to trace into disassembled library code to root cause issues. N

Yes, even small independent restaurants rely heavily on Sysco products. On the plus side, you don't need an experienced chef. On the minus side, your chef never gets experienced.

OS/2 had many flaws but its multitasking was unseen on a PC at the time. I remember formatting a floppy while running two 16-bit Windows sessions (which were communicating with each other) and multiple DOS windows, thinking I was in th

He explains this in the article. Two children are in Germany with their mother, and the other children are still in high school or college. He hid his homelessness from all of them.

More like CFAA (unauthorized access). One might avoid certain penalties by staying under $5000 equivalent IAP. Of course this sounds ridiculous, but we live in ridiculous times.

Sure, PV exports to "the grid", but practically speaking you are reducing the power requirements for your local area. Since peak demand to the area is lessened, utilities get to defer infrastructure upgrades, thus saving money.

During a recent trip to Europe I used OSM (via an offline app called MapsWithMe) way, way more than either Apple or Google maps. Their POI coverage in Europe is pretty good, and even covers things like ATMs and public restrooms.

For some reason the ; key doesn't work to point the gun right. Also you gotta have sound -- the whole point of Wolfenstein is the screaming in German. You'd think after 15 years web standards would ... never mind.

For the LEDs and solenoids I'm guessing the PWM frequency is in the sub 1 kHz range, so you should be able to bit-bang perfectly well with even a low-powered uC. Timing precision for those shouldn't be very strict. As for the WS28

Your solenoid response time is likely to be much, much slower than the bit-banging rate of any modern uC. A standard PIC or similar would do fine (assuming it has the I/Os you need).
