Monday, 6 April 2009. One night at the pub we discussed whether one could replace Hadoop. A massive and comprehensive implementation of Mapreduce) with a single bash script, an awk command, sort, and a sprinkling of netcat. This turned into a weekend project dubbed bashreduce. To be fair, Hadoop probably does a. More things than bashreduce. But we’ve managed to cover a few key concepts in our script:. Task coordination (kind of! Distributed file system (sort of! If you squint just right). 6 April, 14:40.

Extending Ruby with(out) Hubris-0.0.3 | Linguistic Logic
https://linguisticlogic.wordpress.com/2011/01/30/extending-ruby-without-hubris-0-0-3
Programming, Language, Ai. Laquo; 2010 in review. What inspires me as a developer. Extending Ruby with(out) Hubris-0.0.3. I wish this was a post that solved a problem.

Why isn’t Haskell popular in Industry? | Friendly patterns and algorithms

Friendly patterns and algorithms. Why isn't Haskell popular in Industry? 30 May, 2010. This question was recently posed (and closed! The top voted reply is so good I thought I'd replicate it here! I'm afraid all I know of the original author is their "Orphi" posting name. It's tongue-in-cheek and broadly true, although I'd argue the details of a few points. I think it's interesting that it doesn't contain the main reason blocking me from using it on a daily basis. More on that in a moment. First, by #2, ...
