Back using Racket after a long hiatus. Racket I never should have left you. There are but two languages I'll use. Racket and Scala.

I was posting about a similiar system around a year ago. Ended up standardizing clusters of only 3 nodes. Initially I wrote a Paxos+Dynamo but it was a dead end for me for our needs. I did not need a massive data store, but a cheap highly

Over the holidays I toyed around with scratching an itch I've had with purchasing Kindle books from Amazon. It's just too hard to casual browse through the offerings. So I came up with a small chrome web app. https://chrome.google.com/we

Very much looks like a nicely done but nevertheless small subset of emacs org-mode for the web. I'll stay with org-mode: - I'm in emacs all day anyway. - Much more feature rich: priorites, dates, coloration, etc. - Full editing (duh) cap

It is / can be surprising who on your team will have the most problems on a Git from SVN migration. Sometimes ol' CVS/SVN warhorses have too much to unlearn, sometimes simple devs who never bothered to progress beyond the minimal clicks wi

Don't lose another four years before blogging about how you finally switched to emacs from vim and bite the bullet now. Emacs is to vim as vim is to textmate IF you are a hard core software developer. Vim is best for sysadmins, simple, qu

Well here is the rub of it. Are you willing to pay a monthly subscription fee? How much?

Chromium + Flash + Linux vulnerable as well? How does one a) even know what version of flash is embedded in Chromium b) other than constantly killing the flash process how does one disable flash in Chromium Chromium v6.0.417.0

I've stated in the past the _only_ thing wrong with PLT Scheme was not enough marketing. PLT Racket is as evolved beyond standard Scheme as modern man from Australopithecus. So many rich areas of study are available for exploration. Just s

As the instant after the Big Bang the Waveverse is pretty small. Or so it seems ... Try this. Go to the search bar, if you're currently viewing your inbox it has "in:inbox", remove that and search "with:public". You are now amidst the ma

A bit quick to skip the trial and go straight to the hanging... As the other poster stated give it time. Look past the SMS / IM social butterfly aspect to the big picture. I think its the best damn thing I've seen come down the Internet pi

Does anyone have any idea on how "hard" it is to create software? The toll on a person who is "tearing it up", without break, for a year. Oh, and not for their direct benefit? You are seeking a person in the upper percentile of intelligen

Scala is _not_ some esoteric MIT, CMU language to make a point exercise. Its a pragmatic and practical attempt to "fix" Java so it has all the capabilities of Java with the proper foundational coherence which allows for additional, some yet

It appears to an effort, written in Scala, to be Scala but with Java syntax.

In the last 2-3 years emacs has just improved and improved. Like most it originally took me 2-3 distinctive efforts to "go emacs", but it pays off. Emacs is just outstanding if you are a code slinger. If your an admin and edit a couple of

Never could adapt to OCaml's undisciplined syntax. SML's is clean. MLTon is very nice with a couple of limitations, practical upper bound of program size and compilation times. One of the co-authors, S. Weeks, was (is?) one of the core ML
