RavenDB - Documentation - HTTP API

RavenDB provides an HTTP API for accessing and manipulating data on the server. This API sits next to the C# Client API, providing most of the same functionality, but with a platform agnostic, web friendly interface. Using the HTTP API, it's possible to write a fully functioning RavenDB application using just JavaScript and HTML.

MapReduce Patterns, Algorithms, and Use Cases « Highly Scalable

In this article I digested a number of MapReduce patterns and algorithms to give a systematic view of the different techniques that can be found in the web or scientific articles. Several practical case studies are also provided. All descriptions and code snippets use the standard Hadoop’s MapReduce model with Mappers, Reduces, Combiners, Partitioners, and sorting. This framework is depicted in the figure below.

The Electronic Monk - A short (and slightly biased) history of collaborative editing

Like most of the shiny things we take for granted today, (non-naive, i.e. lock-free) collaborative editing originated at - wait for it - Xerox Parc, as part of the collaborative work enviroment project “Jupiter”, headed by Pavel Curtis. Besides collaborative whiteboarding and other stuff, Jupiter included concurrent (text) editing based on Operational Transforms, as documented in the paper “High-Latency, Low-Bandwidth Windowing in the Jupiter Collaboration System”.

Appify: Wrapping Shell Scripts as Applications in Mac OS X 10.6 | 603

This was a pretty big “wow” moment for me. No AppleScript, no .command files (which launch Terminal.app), just pure, instant command line gratification.
