Clicked on link expecting to see a tape based key-value datastore.

mcantelon• 16 years ago

It's being worked on. There's a lot of overhead inherent in random access, which really isn't necessary for most applications. ;)

reitzensteinm2• 16 years ago

That sounds interesting. Is it web scale?

EGreg• 16 years ago

yeah, you just insert your records in the only order you'd ever want to get them out

pepijndevos• 16 years ago

Hm, tape drives aren't even sold anymore, otherwise I might try.

thirdstation• 16 years ago

yeah, me too. a NoSQL replacement for tar.

david927• 16 years ago

These are beautifully produced. Well done.

Fluxx• 16 years ago

Nice to see well thought out, coherent computer science-based discussions on NoSQL presented in a well produced, informative and educational format. Great job!

Stunning content and design, wow.

Any chance of getting antirez for a Redis talk? I did see someone else on the future list talking about Redis at use in a company, but it's not quite the same thing.

timanglade• 16 years ago

antirez and I tried but the schedule didn't work out. He’s on my list for 2011, if he’s still up for it :)

antirez• 16 years ago

Sure I'll be glad :)

Tim really tried hard to find a good schedule but it was impossible at the time as I had two trips to do when he was in Italy, so we were not able to find any match. But next time we'll be more lucky!

I've love to hear a properly recorded talk with antirez. I consider Redis to be one of the most intelligently designed pieces of software I use.

I was excited to watch the London meetup videos, but unfortunately the combination of the audio quality and his accent made it quite hard to understand what he was saying (my brain seems to be able to deal with one or the other).

But, I like SQL. And Perl even.

The "?" boxes leak information in their title attribute.

And now I can't help but think of http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2085276 ("And suddenly, you're hip")

When did engineering get so slick and personable? It's a little unnerving to the slightly-antisocial among us... nerdery used to be a safe place for us. Now it's ninjas and slick conferences and macbooks everywhere.

</cranky old(er) person rant>

(N.B. I do like macbooks)

JonnieCache• 16 years ago

This is exactly what I was thinking. Perl crew: take note ;)

mmaunder2• 16 years ago

Once a few nerds became the richest people on Earth they made it a lot harder for us real antisocials to blend in - and now this whole nosql/apple/ninja-sql-esque thing has left us well and truly thwarted.

(Just think of a macbook as a BSD box and you'll regain your self respect)

wildmXranat• 16 years ago

HBase talk at 11:05, what is up with that easter egg o_O ? Having watched 3 talks so far, I might say that they are quite informative. Nice work.

ericflo• 16 years ago

This is awesome! I'm also extremely jealous that you got to travel around the world and talk to smart people about interesting projects. Thanks for doing it.

coolgeek• 16 years ago

timanglade -

Great idea, and it looks well put together.

But I'm trying to watch the map reduce video, and I find your constant interruptions exceedingly annoying. Let the person run through their presentation and then follow up with questions

steadicat• 16 years ago

For me, the fact that it's a conversation — rather than just a one-man talk — makes it more engaging. I tend to tune out a bit when it's just one person talking (remnants of my University years?), but always snap back into focus when the second person joins in.

Also, in the case of the MapReduce video, it feels helpful to have the concepts repeated in slightly different words. If you understood the idea the first time, it reinforces it. In case you didn't quite get it the first time, it gives you a second chance.

Is there a way for dowloading videos from this site?
