Redis What's coming up in Redis 2.6 : virtual memory is out, persistence improvements and LUA is in, plus better code base (not a feature, but an enabler).

Man it up Write more man pages :

It happens that Unix, in its age-old sage ways, has been storing its docs out-of-line with the relevant code for years. They're called manpages, and they mostly don't suck. Every C API on a modern Unix has a corresponding manpage that describes the relevant functions …

…their own plugins in Lua. They can't be responsible for bugs in developers' Lua plugins. :-)

Q: Would it work with the ORM layer of Doctrine, considering it would only work for one unit of work?

A: Yes, if you layer an ORM on top of the DAL, this makes it inconvenient to choose the degree of slave lag tolerance as I have shown. This is probably a good reason to redesign my prototype to use hints embedded in SQL comments, instead of instantiating different wrapper classes. …

…stuck every time. I made a Android app in Eclipse, wrapped my head around Lua and Corona SDK , and tried to deal with Objective-C, Xcode, and Interface Builder. Not only did I have to throw out my existing toolset and workflow to break into this world, I had to ramp up with new APIs, frameworks, and more.

RubyMotion came at the perfect time: I wanted to make mobile apps, I didn't have to throw out my existing workflow, and I could still write Ruby! Here's what …

Time for a bit of work, and then off to the Boy Scout camp for the weekend. NRA Handgun Instructor training this time.

Lua-Quick-TryOut - Windows/ Linux IDE for dabbling with Lua.

TextMate 2 at GitHub - With a GPL3 license. Hard to view this as anything other than a death rattle.

jQuery 1.8 Released - And just like that I'm behind again. Looks like lots of solid improvement.

Rails 3.2.8 has been released! - With a trio of important security fixes. Time to turn the upgrade crank again.

…allowing you replace double by float (though still imperfect), the possibility to replace the memory allocator and it was even reported to me that mruby can run on the Lego Mindstorms platform which only has 250K of memory!

mruby is still in alpha stage but it's getting more interesting every day and at this rate it will soon become a real alternative to Lua.

Learn how to get started with mruby now.

…popularity have existed for much longer, such as Objective-C, Javascript, and Lua. So what changed in the last few years to awaken the polyglot passions of modern developers?

A parable will illustrate:

Programming enthusiast Joe is browsing Hacker News on a Saturday afternoon, and sees a story about Clojure, a Lisp-like programming language which he keeps hearing about. The comments on the story are filled with positive experiences reported by his peers, so he decides to spend …

@ infynyxx scala, clojure, coffescript, lua, C#, ruby, perl need to beeuthanized — ryah (@ ryah) October 17, 2012

"You're doing it wrong," said the joker to the thief. "There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief." Imagine if someone told Bob Dylan he was doing it wrong -- the world wouldn't be the same. That taciturn phrase is overused and betrays a lack of imagination: don't shoot down the enthusiastic youth with …

…decided to see what he could do by combining it with luvit . Lua is a much simpler language than JavaScript and offers the potential of a much lower overhead because of its tininess. He and a small number of collaborators were able to put together luvit, a Lua equivalent of the Node API, in just a few months.

However, the true value of luvit is that it demonstrates the real power of Node. Instead of being a just a JavaScript library with a fairly complete standard library, …
