How is running 40 instances of node processes different from running 40 instances of a single threaded web server? How is running 40 instances of single threaded event loops better than running 10 instances of a process with 4 threads each? If you had a choice would you not rather have light-weight processes (threads) rather than actual processes because of lighter memory requirements? Threads are too hard to program to? Try STM? I'm not buying the notion that node's event model has any advantage over anything whatsoever. Try Erlang if you want a properly engineered, event-driven development environment.

I love Haskell; I do a lot of work with it. That said, I use Python for the web. As nice as Snap is, Haskell just doesn't have the vast array of quality libraries for web development that Python does. Lately, this means that I do web development in Flask, and heavy lifting in Haskell.

| "If you have headaches, especially chronic ones do yourself a favor and have your eyes checked, you might need glasses without realizing it."

Glasses are a good way of weakening the eyes even further. Eye exercises are a better way of keeping you vision in good shape. Keep your arm extended, focus on thumb, slowly bring it as close as possible. Extend again.

When reading a page on the computer, avoid scrolling line by line with a mouse as you read. Better for the eyes to use the space bar to do page scrolling.

If you find reading a book is out of focus, you might wait for 10 seconds or so, for the eyes to focus. Happens if you are not used to focusing on near objects.
The Fall of Kodak: A Tale of Disruptive Technology and Bad Business
This article should have the following title: "How Ruby is Beating Python in the Battle for my Soul as System Administration". The summary shows that the person has not been working in a team to manage many components:

> Ruby's greatest strength is its amazing flexibility. There is a lot of "magic" in ruby and sometimes it is dark magic. Python intentionally has minimal magic. It's greatest strengths are the best practices it enforces across its community. These practices make Python very readable across different projects; they ensure high quality documentation; they make the standard library kick ass. But the fact is that we sysadmins need flexibility more than we need raw power or consistency.

As a sysadmin you insanely need consistency all over the place or you cannot scale. This is in fact why Fabric, Puppet and Chef were created in the first place, to have consistent and automatic ways to deploy on and maintain your systems.
Haskell broke the Programming Language Shootout by the compiler and runtime optimizing the busy-loop tasks into no-ops and memoizations.

It is hard to write a Haskell program that is gimped enough to be in league with other languages in a synthetic benchmark.

While the title says Perl6 (the magic unicorn or DNF), I think everything in it applies to Perl 5. The title could have been "Python does what Perl should do, I'm not waiting for Perl 6."

Last 10 lines in a file? 'tail -10 filename.txt'

A lot uglier, but you can do a one liner ...

ruby -e 'lines=[]; while gets(); lines << $_; \
lines = lines[-10,10] unless $. < 10; end; \
puts lines' < filename.txt

The problem with using "the right tool for the right job" is that there are many tools and many jobs, and a general purpose language helps you get things done in case you're stuck. In general I use Ruby for doing string manipulation before piping to other commands.

Here's an (ugly) one liner that shows the biggest tables in a MySQL database:

mysql -u root godzilla -s -e 'show tables' \
| ruby -ne '$_.strip!; puts %Q{SELECT count(*) \
as cnt, "#$_" as tbl FROM #$_; }' \
| mysql -u root godzilla -s \
| sort -nr \
| ruby -ne 'parts = $_.split /\s+/; \
puts "%40s : %s" % parts.reverse' \
| head -10

You can probably come up with something more clever, but I barely gave that one any thought.

I gave haskell a shot as some of my earlier github repos indicate: https://github.com/substack. I even wrote my blog in haskell with happstack, since snap hadn't gotten popular yet.

Haskell is very hard, but even after 3 years of pretty intensive use, I never really felt productive with haskell in the same way that I've felt in other languages. Anything I did in haskell required a lot of thinking up-front and tinkering in the REPL to make sure the types all agreed and it was rather time-consuming to assemble a selection of data types and functions that mapped adequately onto the problem I was trying to solve. More often than not, the result was something of an unsightly jumble that would take a long time to convert into nicer-looking code or to make an API less terrible to use.

I built an underwater ROV control system in haskell in 2010 which went well enough, but I had to tinker with the RTS scheduling constantly to keep the more processor-hungry threads from starving out the other ones for CPU. The system worked, but I had no idea what horrors GHC was performing on my behalf.

Later I built the first prototype of my startup with haskell, but the sheer volume of things that I didn't know kept getting in the way of getting stuff done in a reasonable time frame. Then we started to incrementally phase out haskell in favor of node.

I write a lot of node.js now and it's really nice. The whole runtime system easily fits into my head all at once and the execution model is simple and predictable. I can also spend more time writing and testing software and less time learning obscure theories so that the libraries and abstractions I use make sense.

The point in the article about haskell being "too clever for this benchmark" sums up haskell generally in my experience.

> As a sysadmin you insanely need consistency all over the place or you cannot scale.

This is exactly what ran through my had reading the bit you quoted above: consistency is king! Try scaling magic. Maybe some people are able to do this. I, personally, am a mere mortal, and that means consistent, clear code is a very powerful tool to me. More so than this "flexibility" the article's author is citing. In fact I would argue that consistency and clarity lend flexibility if you understand what you're doing.
Also, this article references an older project that has (for me) the clearest description of the theory of GPS:

Kicking the caffeine habit was what did it for me. Don't go cold turkey: I titrated slowly off the caffeine over the course of a month, and still had some withdrawal symptons (ie, headaches).

I still get headaches, but they're much less frequent, much less severe and it's usually much easier to track down the cause. (It's usually lack of sleep combined with too much screen time).

As a bonus, if I avoid computer & TV screens for the 2 hours before bed, I fall asleep within 30 seconds of my head hitting the pillow.

Well if you want to be pedantic, C++ is actually twenty eight years old (1983), but as the language evolved a lot, modern C++ is probably less than ten years old. It depends on what you can a language and what you call a dialect.

Yes, it does look a lot better based solely on made-up numbers. Back in the real world, there's a 120 million dollar "investment" of which 1/6 is actually a no-strings-attached gift of cash money. That's an atrociously bad deal for the investor, and it's totally sensible to balk.

Ah. I was thinking you wanted to make a desk, not just the top, which you could do with the 4x8 sheet, some screws, and maybe a two by four. (Am I imagining things? or did you edit your original post to say bookshelf rather than desk? it's okay, I edit my posts too; you could also make a bookshelf out of that 4x8 sheet, if your time was free and you had the carpentry skills.)

Even so, the 3' x 2' bit of 'wood product' from ikea costs almost as much as a 4'x8' piece of 'wood product' from home depot. That's more than 5 ikea tables worth of wood.

I think the dramatically increased price (percentage wise, of course, not dollar wise) of the ikea part is in the addition of the laminate on top and on the sides; you can't really cut the laminated particle board to size once you get it, unless you want exposed sawdust-wood, so we are back to manu

I mean, I'm not saying the ikea stuff isn't good; I'm just saying that they, generally speaking, are charging considerably more (as a percentage, not in terms of dollars, and for a $7 item, even if their markup is 4x, well, you probably aren't going to notice.) than what materials cost.

Totally agree and most of these are not surprises as they were discussed in the presentation about the Kindle.

I think the lack of power adapter is a good thing since it uses the same micro-usb that has been standardised for phones so I already own a power adapter. In fact I could even do without another usb cable.

Also the Kindle Fire being sold at a loss is only based on analyst estimates and last time I checked about this it was only a $10 difference. So doesn't seem to take into account any discounts Amazon could negotiate with suppliers for large volumes.

Edit: Just to reinforce my previous comment I just found an EETimes article reporting that Amazon could be making $50 profit for the BoM on each Kindle Fire.

The point was that it kills parallelism – Node is just a single-threaded event loop, running on a single core. And since computing fibonacci numbers is a CPU bound activity, that type of benchmark would be relevant but for the memoization bit.

EDIT: Well also, the author would have to actually benchmark this vs. Node with many concurrent clients in order for it to be relevant; here he's just timing a single request from start to finish, which obviously doesn't say anything about how this scales.
I'm not a businessman, but if I was trying to sell something I would want to reduce the work my customers have to do. I don't want to give them the choice of "The guy who doesn't speak $LANGUAGE" vs "Let's go with this guy who made an effort". (Let's not forget that customers are not always rational.)
I dont know why the author thinks the situation is any better in the UK. Its pretty bad here too. A common requirement of getting a merchant account is to have £50,000 sitting in an account doing NOTHING, "just in case". UK online payment processors aren't much better.
I'm not sure what definition of "rapist" or "normal" you're using, but the typical rapist is probably closer to "selfish asshole on a first date" than "masked man hiding in the bushes". And selfish assholes are frankly very common.
It's amazing that in 2011, launching a simple and elegant payment processor is enough to pretty much disrupt the industry. I'm really hoping Stripe can make it to the UK - I'd be incredibly happy to give them my percentage.
I disagree. His 5 positive points sounded pretty gushing and made it obvious to me that he's definitely a fan.

Virtually every other piece of consumer electronics comes with a power adapter. This is surprising.

The point isn't that the keyboard is bad, the point is that the keyboard is excruciatingly bad.

I've tried to use every IDE out there -- from Aptana RadRails to NetBeans, and RubyMine. After lots of frustration and headache, I've gone back to using the command line and TextMate. I actually think that TextMate while not "Integrated" with every aspect of development, has the two key features you really need -- code completion and syntax highlighting.

This isn't a code-maniac purist perspective either -- I really wanted to use an IDE and tried hard, but between the setup/dependences of the application, or the tricky integration with git, or the lack of visual CSS support, then something else (usually version incompatibility) would end up biting me every time I tried.

To answer your actual questions:

Maybe, maybe, yes, YES.

To answer the implied question: "Will an IDE help me develop a Rails app more easily?" IMO, probably not.
