Zeroconf works on all platforms, there are multiple implementations available. Avahi is one of the most popular in opensource world.

The Sonim X3 I am using easily gives me 2 months of the battery life. So 38 days is definitely not a record. Despite that, this Nokia phone looks really nice, and twice as cheap.

There is a difference between "coding" and "programming". Programming is an act of producing a formal computational solution for a problem. Coding, on the other hand, means literally encoding that formal specification

I don't see that distinction. The are languages designed to map directly to register machines internal operation, like C or C++ or fortran and those are statement based because that's how the machine works. There are also high l

Where did you get that idea of consensus? A lot of languages do not even have a return statement, neither does lambda calculus. Furthermore, CS community has long abandoned statement based languages in favor of expressions and relations w

Yes, CPS is essentially that and available in any modern language, or can be emuated by setcontext(2)/getcontext(2). However, it can become a mess very quickly. Another option is monadic style, which will pass error checking along. I

If you need shared state to pass a lot of data between CPUs than erlang might not be a right solution; however the part that needs to do it can be isolated, implemented in C, and communicated with from BEAM. What always amuses me about LMAX

They also seem to miss the preemptive scheduling, built-in flow-control and per-process GC (which leads to minimal GC pauses). Those are impossible to achieve without a purposely built VM. No solution on Sun JVM will ever be able to repla

BOOM project came up with a very impressive ideas. Their half page long paxos implementation in Overlog blew my mind. I don't think they new Bloom language is as expressive, however.

I think it goes beyond the original question now. :) If one wants to do proper thing, then definitely contractions, word variations, etc should be considered. For this, I guess something like OpenNLP can be used. What's interesting t

There are at least 2 major differences relevant to message processing: 1) Erlang runs in a VM which provides preemptive scheduling and builtin message flow control (sending a message costs proportional to the receiver mbox size) 2) Unlike o

That's essentially how it happens in most good package managers. You install a choice of MTA/imap/antispam, set up the domain name and unix accounts and SSL certs, and up and running at this point. Most of the modern smtp an

Thanks for the great work! Do you plan to release the tool one day? It will be a great asset to other operating systems developers as well.

Why use Google Chat at all when there're a lot of 3rd party community-run jabber servers available? Then you can use any client you want and get a level of protection you desire (including OTR).

I actually deployed a production embedded system running a large chunk of code written in perl once (on a 180MHz FreeBSD/arm board). The performance was just enough, although the critical components were implemented in C.

What do you mean by 'unicode text contents'? Of course, text in PDF could not be pasted, but it's not a format intended for "editing', we have plain text for this. PDF was created to distribute text documents, drawings, and so on in a way t
