I'm in a similar boat. A Norwegian name squatting company holds a bunch of last name domains not really using them for anything besides linking to their site "so everyone with that last name will be able to use it".

The problem is the they want like a dollar per month to give you one email address. I'm well aware that is not much but it's annoying that they claim to do this to "share the wealth" of that domain name with everyone with that name. The problem is they are taking money for email addresses and you can't use the domain name (or even a subdomain) for anything.

I'm more interested in having the domain for my family, I would have no problem giving subdomains and email addresses to anyone with my name contacting me.

At least according to Norwegian law (which is probably similar to International domain laws?) you do not really have a case unless you can prove you have the rights to own that domain. And since you do not really require anything but a name to own a .com you will probably have a hard time doing so :-/

This sort of has a 'straw-man' feel to me.
I've never heard the "Elite Programming Language"
deconstructed in this essay.

I all but admit to coining the term in the first paragraph. It's a term without baggage that is meant to encapsulate many related terms: hipster, academic, complex, obscure, !blub, etc. To say that the post is a straw-man is to deny these other terms exist and are used to mean roughly the same thing.
Most web applications are io bound not cpu bound as they spend most of their time talking to other systems across the network like your db or queue or some rest service. the cost of spinning up threads is memory and context switches by the os. Async is just a way to avoid this for io operations. Node.js is just an incredibly convenient way of doing this as there are less ways of shooting yourself in the foot than if you apply the async patterns to other tech platforms.

Cpu bound is still cpu bound on any tech platform and needs another strategy to deal with it. I think it's better to look at node.js as a tool in your toolbox that is well adapted to running high load web-services and apps that are io bound instead of a swiss army-knife that does everything great.

But as any toolbox you need more tools in the box to be a good carpenter. That includes picking tech that can do the cpu bound stuff in a appropriate manner, be it java, scala, c++, erlang whatever. You don't write a graph database in node.js unless you are masochistic. Just as you hopefully don't write an async server in assembly.

From my usage perspective node.js is great for my async needs and the low resource usage means I need less hardware to scale my typical web app.

This groupthink is religiously defended through self-righteous blog posts ("I switched from Java to C and became a better person!!!") and comment threads. Inevitably, posters go looking for something that the True Language is known to do well, and then overgeneralize their experience.

I'm not even particularly old, and I ran into this offline first. Go anywhere within 500 feet of a tech meetup, and you'll have people telling you these kinds of conversion stories, overgeneralizing their experience, etc. My first encounter, when I was a high-school student, was with a C-programming graybeard who was sort of religious about C.

There's nothing keeping you from running a separate web server and then proxying requests to Node using HTTP. Why is it a problem that you do this using HTTP? What alternative protocol would be so much better? FastCGI isn't really that different (each have their pros and cons) and CGI has obvious problems...

WSGI applications can use a built-in HTTP server too (or FastCGI or ...). Node has an internal interface (similar to WSGI) for handing over requests to the web application and so on. That's not fundamentally different from WSGI. The main difference is that WSGI is a standard API, so there are several "WSGI servers" implementing the same thing (each of them similar to Node in some sense).
I've always had headaches but some months are worse than others. I wear glasses for driving but generally not for every day wear (it's a psychological thing) and I've generally put it down to that.

After 3-4 days of a constant splitting headache which felt like I'd been hit with a cleaver, I noticed a lump at the back of my head/neck. This was finally enough to make me go to the doctor (obviously fearing brain cancer or some other deathly disease). The doctor diagnosed "Occipital Neuralgia" [1] which is basically the compression of one of the scalp nerves as it exits the spinal column. As I often end up slumped forward in my chair, head angled up, this was compressing those nerves and causing the pain. It had never occurred to me that the pain could have a physical cause. Since then, better posture control has meant very few headaches.

The lump it turns out is just a swollen glad, possibly from an unrelated minor infection or from the swollen nerve itself.

The big question: how long will it take for this form of manufacturing to achieve the cost effectiveness of current methods? The bottom line for everyone, including consumers, is cost. Don't forget about quality control.

Let's also not assume that we will always be the most innovative. We have to make sure that the current and next generation of students get the quality education they need in math and science to keep us dominant in Tech. Interesting article but lots of assumptions and unanswered questions.

About the credibility. Hyperion (especially mixed with citrix) is not that reliable and still is a reference in the field. I wouldn't think credibility is the main issue, at least not as much as usability and productivity (which I think are quite difficult to match).
My thoughts exactly, I have already thought of this theory many times, but I am too lazy to make the list and prioritize it and then try to figure out how to trick myself into thinking that non-important things are top priorities...
But, of course this is not true, there are clubs
for which membership shows eliteness. This is
not a physical property, it is agreed upon by
the relative strata of society.

This is a weak analogy. Elite clubs do not make the members elite; they are "elite" to begin with. These clubs are not admitting the janitor. On the other hand programming languages do not admit members. Anyone can pick one up and learn it, but that alone doesn't make them elite.

I'm not persuaded that the arrow of causality has been drawn correctly here.

I.e., it seems rather that Ruby has gained a high profile in system administration, not due to any inherent characteristics of the language or library, but because Puppet and subsequently Chef happened to be written by people who wanted to use Ruby.

Based on TFA, this was a matter of taste. I can't, for example, see why it should particularly matter for system administration whether "‘len’ was a function instead of a method)." It doesn't. But the fact that the guy who went on to write a reasonably important tool preferred to do so in Ruby on the basis of such personal prejudices made Ruby important just insofar as the tool was important, and probably contributed to Chef being written in Ruby as well.

Most of the reasoning in this article is no better than complaining that len() is a builtin. I fail to see how Perl-golf style conciseness is inherently more "productive" (particularly when it makes it harder to understand and maintain operationally important software). I fail to see how the crushing burden of spelling out 'import re' makes regex unacceptably distant in Python. I fail to see how Ruby is inherently stress-relieving or better for people who use vi, and if you don't think there is magic in Python that is probably because you have not gotten that deeply into the language. All this is pretty spurious, I think.

And if I wanted Perl, then Perl is the best possible Perl, already familiar to tons of sysadmins; and lots of good things are happening in Perl development.

What isn't spurious is if you happen to like Ruby, even if only for stupid reasons like Luke's; or if you really want to work with a tool like Chef that requires you to write Ruby. Those are perfectly good reasons for using Ruby.

But multiple languages will be used into the far future.
In reality, the reason that Ruby and Python (and for that matter Perl) are so frequently put head-to-head is because they are so very similar in their abilities. That's okay. Write what you like.

Pains in the back of the head, or down the side of the face it is almost certainly neck/back related. After suffering a couple of years with on/off head pain I finally figured this out & it literally took a couple of sessions to work the tightness out.

(I had a scare too because the trapped nerves in my neck caused lumps to appear all up and down the length of it :S not fun!)

So, yeh, I second the recommendation to get a medical professional to look at posture.
Neither Python nor Ruby are best suited for one-liners that the author is emphasising. One liners are bash-fu or commandline-fu. Anything above 100 lines (just a figure from the article) is what Python or Ruby should be used for.

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

Right tools for the right job.

As to Python vs Ruby? I believe the argument isn't about the language (although I think Python is more 'sane' :) ), but the community that surrounds it. And I like the Python community.
Whatever it feels like, the fact remains that the economy is being crippled by cheap plastic crap made on the other side of the planet and shipped - with much cost - to consumers who only play with it for 0.0000001% of the time that most of these things will be sitting there, forever, out in some landfill somewhere.

You wouldn't necessarily know this until you had done the described change, but Ubuntu's packaging of Gnome Shell is in various small but annoying ways not as polished and together as Fedora's.

That might partly be because Ubuntu has thrown its effort into its default Unity, while Fedora has put effort into its default Gnome Shell.

With their infrastucture, Amazon could as well run browsers in the cloud and then update remote screens, VNC style. Other guys do that for games, latency is not an issue for them apparently.
I suppose, but it's what a lot of people are stuck writing in enterprisey Java shops, and it's been my impression that people mix the two up when complaining. That might be wrong, though. I suppose the core language has a number of problems of its own as well. I don't think people think the JVM is one of them, though, and it's not really what most people are talking about when they talk about programming in Java.
Seconded: if you're still on 8.04 and don't like how fast Ubuntu moves, then it sounds like you were born for Debian Stable, which is in many respects a very similar system
Show HN: Erlywarn, Clever Uptime Monitoring. Any thoughts?
We launched an early version of our uptime monitoring service Erlywarn to the public this week.

http://erlywarn.com

The project was scratching an itch that monitoring services would only alert you if your site went down and not if they started responding slowly or erratically.

So we built Erlywarn to keep track of the response times and allow it to send notifications if your site responds unusually, as this is often an early warning sign that something is starting to go wrong.

It's only been 2 weeks from conception to this, so feedback would be most welcome, especially:

Would you consider using the service yet, what are we missing?

Prices are currently in GBP (while we sort out a merchant account) is this a big turn off for the US?

Would $1/per site/month we good value to you?

Thanks for any help

Hasn't the author already said that the measuring of Fibonacci was not the point of his tirade?

In fact the domain in dispute is a .org, while the company already owns the .com; the .net belongs to a squatter.

I think what happened is, the company didn't care about other tlds than the .com; the .org was bought in January of this year by the current owner, legitimately, but, I presume, from a squatter (and that's why he says that buying the domain in the first place was expensive enough).

And suddenly the company decides they need other tlds; from their point of view they're all squatters; they're wrong, but their line of reasoning is not absurd.

My benchmark was mostly a parody, since Haskell just memoized the call and never really did the work.

Looks nice!

However, a couple of points:

* The £1/site/month is too low. I won't trust you to be able to rent and manage a network of decent machines for that price point, so I wouldn't trust your results. You're also going to eat costs trying to support cheap one-site-owners. Try a price point like "£5 for 5 sites a month!" so that even if you have one site, you pay at least £5 a month.

* Show me your (hopefully) geographically dispersed network. Like a map showing where your machines are with fancy lines and all that. I want to know you know what you're doing and at the very least you should have a network of independent machines, geographically spread. Tell me you're using independent datacenters/cloud hosting for maximum availability.

* I don't know the current state of Go, but as a potential customer I'm questioning the logic of using an experimental language (as I see it) for an uptime monitoring system. Presumably you want to have the highest uptime as possible, and maybe Go interpreters/compilers have bugs that will affect you. I would not advertise the fact you're using Go.

* Link me to a dashboard where I can see the statusses of your service, and any maintenance messages you might have had. This might strike you as odd, but I would trust you more if you had a public page where you can show past incidents and how you resolved them, or at least a table full of green lights showing all your stuff is up. Some things can fail (without losing uptime), and I'd like to see you being open about it.

I understand you're just beginning so cherry pick from this comment what you like :) Either way it's a nice looking landing page.
