com.twitter.util.Future supports raising interrupts that propagate 'backwards' through the chain (and across network boundaries.) This is used to implement cancellation, among other things. https://github.com/twitt

Twitter has not used a fork of the scala compiler/library since the pre-2.8 days (and maybe not even then, since we have always had a fair fraction of open source code.)

Would recommend "The Diamond Age" by Neil Stephenson, with the highly relevant subtitle: "or, The Young Woman's Illustrated Primer".

That only applies to deployment. You're not building these services from the ground up: they're all going to have common libraries that need to stay up to date.

I've done SF -> LA and SF -> Vegas without any issues. The supercharger in Folsom enables Tahoe, and was one of the first to go in. But because of the cold and the elevation change, you have to stay there for more than 2 nights t

Hm, it looks like that must have been an older number. More recent estimates are in the $100k-$200k range: http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/26/inside-teslas-supercharger-...

And they say that hardware startups are hard. Hardware startups that require hundreds of custom, million dollar station installs, AND cooperation from a significant fraction of car manufacturers... are the hardest. The Tesla Superchargers c

Does the security team not count as one of the sets of "eyes"? Would they have discovered the bug without inspecting the code?

Considering that every restaurant, store or bar you've ever used your card at potentially stashed away your secret, how closely have you been monitoring your card for siphoning of funds? It is not in the credit card companies best inte

There are no version numbers in those benchmarks, nor any way to reproduce them. So take them with a few grains of salt. In particular, how old was the version of git they were testing with? Were they using SSDs?

I wasn't excited about scala's macros initially [a], but Eugene's Burmako's recent talk [b] on the constraints the developers worked with to keep macros consistent and interoperable was illuminating, and has changed my m

Given the current trends in language design, it's interesting that Nimrod declares itself an imperative language, and that this talk doesn't discuss lambdas at all.

1) Yes and no... the QT client has default/"suggested" transaction fees, but unless a block is completely full you're not likely to see any difference in processing time if you exclude a fee entirely [a] 2) As of recentl

The section on forkIO vs forkOS is interesting because the author does not mention implementing green threads atop the JVM. It would be feasible for Frege and its core libraries to use an implementation of "green threads" based on

The conclusions of http://fregepl.blogspot.jp/2013/03/adding-concurrency-to-fre... lead me to believe that the author knows significantly more about Haskell than about either the JVM or concurrency. I hope that th

Well, you don't necessarily need to cash out to USD to withdraw from MtGox. Instead, you can transfer to an offline wallet with a few physical and/or cloud+encrypted backups.

Bitcoin is a decentralized system, so there is no reasonable place to put these IP restrictions. If there is a single Bitcoin mining node (out of thousands[0]) that will accept your transaction, you can play. [0] http://blockchai
