WHY IS SOCIAL Q&A NOT EMBEDDED INTO OPERATING SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS?
One thing that always bothered me about complex desktop applications like Adobe Photoshop or Eclipse, or even Desktop Linux is finding out how to use the more advanced features (or, truthfully, some of the basic features). I’ve always liked community response, so I’ve been on a number of mailing lists and it’s usually really helpful. What if these types of useful feedback were...

Well, now I know. So, lets get started. Gen_server is...

Peeping into memcached. Really interesting read about how to examine what’s stored in memcached. Peep uses ptrace to freeze a running memcached server, dump the internal key metadata, and return the server to a running state. If you have a good host ejection mechanism in your client, such as in the Twitter libmemcached builds, you won’t even have to change the production server pool....
C# ON THE MAC WITH ECLIPSE

'ERLANG: CREATE SCHEMA BEFORE STARTING MNESIA'
If you’re running into trouble with Mnesia not writing your data to disk, make sure you create the schema BEFORE you start mnesia. Otherwise you’ll get errors like opt_disc. Directory "c:/Documents and Settings/jhaddad/workspace/Mnesia.localhost@whatever" is NOT used.
