Open Source NG Databases (mailing list summary) - O'Reilly Radar
There are plenty of new databases coming out, aiming to tackle the massively scalable domain that Google’s BigTable pioneered. On the Radar mailing list, Jesse pointed out Cassandra (Facebook’s offering) and Mike Loukides countered with Hypertable, asking “We’re sort of being overrun with BigTable-style databases; I wonder what’s going to win?”. (Artur observed, “Cassandra is less like BigTable an
Getting OpenID Into the Browser - O'Reilly Radar
Google Chrome did a smart thing: Less. They unified the search box and address bar, since that’s what people do anyway. That gives us back precious pixels for the only thing that’s as important to an average web user as where they’re going: Who they are. Identity belongs in the browser. Don’t just believe me, just this week ReadWriteWeb talks about The End of Online Anonymity and TechCrunch on how
Perl on App Engine? - O'Reilly Radar
I am a Perl hacker. I have written parts of the core, created CPAN modules and written tons of perl code. In fact I am addicted to it ; or rather, CPAN. I have been wanting to play around with Google App Engine, but I haven’t had time to get up to speed in Python. Today at OSCON I met up with Brad Fitzpatrick, who told me he had permission from Google to talk about and work on a Perl on App Engine
New Release 2.0 on Money 2.0 - O'Reilly Radar
One year ago, we published an issue of Release 2.0 entitled "When Markets Collide" (download a PDF), in which we considered what Wall Street and Web 2.0 might have to teach one another. Quite a bit, it turned out: the key parallels we uncovered include latency (both have to do their jobs more or less instantly), connectivity (it's the liquidity of Web 2.0), sensors and actuators (and how to use th
O'Reilly launches Velocity Web Performance and Operations Conference - O'Reilly Radar
I'm happy to announce that Steve Souders and I will be co-chairing Velocity, the new O'Reilly conference dedicated to Web Performance and Operations. Velocity is happening on June 23-24, 2008 at the San Francisco Airport Marriott in Burlingame, California. Our theme is "Fast, Scalable, Resilient, Available".

Google Announces the OpenSocial API - O'Reilly Radar
Google has announced OpenSocial, a new open API for social networks. The new standard will allow developers to create Facebook-like apps on any social network site that implements it with the same calls. The open API will have three parts People Storage Activity stream All of these calls will have a GData counterpart and they will use HTML and Javascript only. Google is considering adding OAuth (R
Concurrent Programming: Erlang, Haskell...and XSLT - O'Reilly Radar
Dave Thomas' announcement on ruby-talk that the Pragmatic Programmers are about to publish a book on Erlang sparked some interesting back-chatter on the O'Reilly editors' list. But first, Dave's announcement: I love Ruby--I've done all my serious (and most of my not-so-serious) work in Ruby since 2000. But that doesn't mean that I think it's the only solution--the universal language. There are alw
Pros and Cons of OpenID - O'Reilly Radar
Openid, the lightweight, distributed ID system, has been getting a lot of press lately for good reason. (For an overview of the system see this earlier Radar post.) Started by LiveJournal founder Brad Fitzpatrick (now with SixApart), it has recently started getting a lot of support - kind of. Up until recently, Zooomr, Ma.gnol.ia, and various SixApart properties were the biggest supporters of Open
OpenID Gets a Boost From Microsoft - O'Reilly Radar
OpenID (Radar post) got a big boost today when it gained support from Microsoft. Open-identity company JanRain, Dick Hardt's Identity 2.0 company Sxip, and Verisign were also a part of the announcement. As a part of the agreement, OpenID is going to focus more efforts on phishing (which they were already doing with the use of Personal Icons and SafeSignIn - Radar post). Microsoft will lend the ass
O'Reilly Radar > OpenID, Get it from Yahoo! & Avoid Phishing
OpenID, the lightweight, decentralized identity system (Radar post) had an interesting weekend. There is now a method for using your Yahoo ID with OpenID (unofficial, but sanctioned) and there are new measures designed to reduce the risk of phishing. First, ex-Yahoo Simon Willison has created a proxy to allow you to use your Yahoo Id as an OpenID. idproxy.net, launched today, is my attempt at spee
Threads Considered Harmful - O'Reilly Radar
Professor Edward A. Lee from the EECS department of UC Berkeley wrote The Problem With Threads (PDF) last year. In it, he observes that threads remove determinism and open the door to subtle yet deadly bugs, and that while the problems were to some extent manageable on single core systems, threads on multicore systems will magnify the problems out of control. He suggests the only solution is to st
Building Second Life - O'Reilly Radar
Following up on my earlier post on the open source release of Second Life, I've now successfully built Second Life from source on both Mac OS X and Ubuntu. The Mac OS X build in Xcode went smoothly. The build in Linux was a little more finicky, but not bad considering that it's still alpha. Read on if you'd like to vicariously live the gory details. There's something extraordinarily satisfying abo
Live Motion 3D Video Camera - O'Reilly Radar
The other day, Noel Gorelick of Arizona State University and Google Mars fame gave me an amazing demo of images taken with a very cool new 3D live motion video camera that uses LIDAR technology to get a range-finding for every pixel. Advanced Scientific Concepts, the company that built the camera, is so young that they don't have a website up, but here's one of the images (moved to the second page
The Rise of Open Infrastructure - O'Reilly Radar
Jon Udell just wrote a thought-provoking editorial on Infoworld that takes off from my conversation with Debra Chrapaty, which I blogged earlier this month. I had called out Debra's comment that "In the future, being a developer on someone's platform will mean being hosted on their infrastructure." Meanwhile, I was citing Jon myself just this morning, pointing out in my keynote at OScon that Jon's
