Re: Visualizing Every Company on the S&P 500 Index

Great post and visualization! This was a joy to read. By the way, do you have a higher resolution of the image available? When looking at the smaller companies with logos it's slightly hard to make out the names. Regardless, keep up the great work!

This was a great talk. Thank you. By the way, what Atom theme are you using? And how where you able to hide the Menu bar? Lastly, are you also using some kind of a Mac theme?

Re: Bytepawn - The Confused World of "NoSQL"

fuentesjr — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:04:44 -0000

I'm a bit confused. You mention Keyspace, Apache Hadoop, and Apache Cassandra to be in the same category. However, Hadoop resembles more of a GFS+MapReduce type system (HDFS+MR) than a NoSQL system. I would think that Apache HBase, which is inspired by Bigtable, would be a better fit in this category since it also more closely resembles a key-value store.

Re: Building your programming language arsenal

I just came across this post ... almost a year old it seems. Now I'm curious about your Clojure and Factor adventures. Any updates?

I just recently decided I would pickup Scala and Clojure. Clojure seems to be the elegant language we passionate geeks welcome. However, I see Scala being the language that actually sneaks into the *enterprise*. Either way, a move away from Java is welcomed by me.

Most of the languages I target these days are for practical and/or potentially practical (business?) reasons. If I had the time, I'd be interested in learning languages like Haskell and Limbo.

Re: Mass-scale computing: Why Hadoop is hot but Java is not

fuentesjr — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:09:25 -0000

I have to agree with Robert on this one. I understand your counterpoint of opportunity, but it is being stretched here. We can stretch your argument even more if we say that implementing a Hadoop clone in pure x86 assembly could potentially be faster than Google's implementation and thus improves our efficiency and lowers our costs. In the end, with todays resources and alternatives, Hadoop is a cost saver.

I've never really been the type that would comment on other sites. However, Disqus has given me a feel of control about the comments I post around the Internet, so I am now more eagered to contribute to online discussions because of it.

Re: MongoDB is Fantastic for Logging

I second this as well. Use cases where MongoDB is a great fit will help people make better decisions for their applications.

Re: Python Threads and the Global Interpreter Lock

As a fairly new Python user, I found your article to be very helpful. It helped me understand the pros and cons of threading in Python and put concurrency into context. Thank you.
