- Peeking into the future with RDP July 12, 2016One aspect of reactive demand programming that sets it apart from other reactive programming models is its support for optimistically working with the predicted future states of signals.Think about a signal that carries the current time in seconds, that you want to display on screen as a clock. The screen should update close to the […]Manuel Simoni
- The worm is the spice May 19, 2016Just had a nice insight regarding systems that deal with reactively updating (potentially large, structured) values such as RDP:The dynamic output of a process is indistinguishable from a static storage resource (file).In batch systems like Unix, this symmetry is not so deep: the output stream of a process looks somewhat like a file, but the process […]Manuel Simoni
- RESTful RDP with big values August 2, 2015What if you want to use a big value, like a whole database table or weblog, as a Reactive Demand Programming signal value? This would make it possible to use RDP to orchestrate things like incremental MapReduce pipelines. Here's one weird trick to make it work.In effect, each RDP signal becomes a RESTful server, speaking an HTTP-like […]Manuel Simoni

I was in Wellington, CO.
I went to look up what exactly I was doing and where, by checking my LiveJournal calendar. Fascinatingly, October 2004 does not exist.

RIP, KEI.
