On “The State of JavaScript – Survey results”

I don't care about downvotes, I thought that video was hilarious and enjoy sharing it. He's the same guy behind "MongoDB is web scale" and "Erlang the Movie II", which I'd also highly recommend: link link to this video

My favorite from a nostalgia/cultural-touchstone perspective is Erlang: The Movie and its humorous parody sequel Erlang The Move II: The Sequel

This has already been entertained in the sequel to Erlang the movie. The little girl in the film suggests a better name: link to this video

On “Ada 2012: A New Language for Safe and Secure Software (2012)”

Sounds like you needs someone like Rex to give Ada an image upgrade: link to this video ; it can be like Outlaw Techno Psychobitch aka Erlang. Seriously though, I agree with you on the first part, we throw the title engineer around a lot more than we should on this side of the pond.

Not at all. Have you ever thought about caching Twitter? It's an archetypical example of a site that's extremely difficult to cache well, which is the source of so many of its scaling problems. Every person's new feed is uniquely generated based on their followers. That means you can only at best cache at the individual tweet level -- you still need to uniquely generate a news feed for each user. This means that for every user you need to individually grab information simultaneously from the same high velocity tweets, while still being able to present information to each user uniquely based on conditions regarding how twitter should display tweets for that specific user individually. That's…
