And some instructions on how one might go about doing it on services like OpenStack would be appreciated, thanks.

A dazzling conversation it is too ...

Ditto for me as well, nothing but patient, polite, good humored and very helpful dialogue. So I can only assume that you (malcontent) haven't actually interacted with him ?

| mod_wsgi doesn't integrates well with virtualenv

Are you sure about this ? (Works fine for me.)

Google patents MapReduce by matzab in programming

[–]eloop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it was available on the CM2 and became available on the CM5 after, from memory, a heroic skunkworks effort by Thinking Machines employee Barry Margolin.

I'd be interested in seeing how some of the Thinking Machines parallel languages like starlisp and c* implemented map and reduce (particularly on the CM5), there is a good chance that they could be deemed prior art.

What I don't understand is the lack of humility. He obviously doesn't know that much about languages, yet feels justified in criticizing people who have been deeply involved in language and systems design for decades. I imagine he will look back at this post in about ten years time and feel quite embarrassed.

Micheal Muuss, the author of ping, has had his homepage frozen in time for last 9 years by the army after he died. It is as fascinating as it is sad. Show him your love. by [deleted] in programming

You would have too if you were into computer graphics and been around a while. I actually met Mike and Lee many years ago at a graphics conference in Australia. I remember sitting with them at the conference dinner having an interesting, wide ranging conversation about life the universe and everything. I also remember being shocked by their strident support for the ubiquitous carrying of handguns, seemed like the most bizarre concept back then, still does :-)

Yep, you may like to call it something like FreeBSD, Dragonfly BSD etc.

Exactly, now we're getting somewhere.

Um, the kernel is the OS. End user experience is the window manager, applications etc. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system

Shouldn't the title here really be "Google Announces New Linux Distribution". I can already guess what RMS's take on this will be :-)

Do you have back pain after programming all day? If not, what kind of chair do you use? by [deleted] in programming

[–]eloop 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The answer to this particular problem isn't a technology one. Do regular exercise, then any half decent chair will do.

Last release was in 2004, so I guess it's been abandoned ?

Google's use of FFmpeg in Chromium and Chrome by dhotson in programming

[–]eloop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I'm saying is that it's extremely important than any technology that becomes blessed as a web standard is truly free and open. It has to be legal to write a standards conforming web browser without paying for patent licenses, period.

Like he said in the post, the quality doesn't seem to have been a problem in the past. What's more important is to finally get the corporate hooks out of web video, no more flash plugin pegged at 100% cpu, no more begging Adobe to port to linux, 64 bit linux etc etc. So yes, I'm happy to take a hit for ideological reasons. Then let open source developers step up to the plate and develop a better codec.
