Looks dead, but there are some Java good ideas that should be stolen. The Python Management Extensions (PyMX) is a Python analog to Java's JMX. PyMX aims to be an API for the management and monitoring of resources such as applications, devices, services, as well as the Python interpreter.

By MARK BITTMAN Many vegan dishes (like fruit salad and peanut butter and jelly) are already beloved, but the problem faced by many of us is in imagining less-traditional dishes that are interesting and not challenging. Here are some more creative options to try.

Swarm is a framework allowing the creation of web applications which can scale transparently through a novel portable continuation-based approach. Like Map-Reduce, Swarm follows the maxim "move the computation, not the data". However Swarm takes the concept much further, allowing it to be applied to almost any computation, not just those that can be broken down into map and reduce operations. In effect, Swarm is the ultimate Platform as a Service, going much further than systems like Google App Engine in relieving the programmer from the difficulties of cloud computing.

Chosen is a JavaScript plugin that makes long, unwieldy select boxes much more user-friendly. It is currently available in both jQuery and Prototype flavors. From Harvest. Couldn't remember what it was called after looking at it awhile ago, so it's time to bookmark it.

Welcome to the Assimilation monitoring project. What we do: monitoring systems with near-zero overhead both on the systems and on their administrators. Monitor systems and services with very low overhead Stealth discovery (system and service) Easy to configure and manage This is a new project designed to to monitor systems and services on a network of potentially unlimited size, without significant growth in centralized resources. The work of monitoring is delegated uniformly in tiny pieces to the various machines being monitored in a network-aware topology - minimizing network overhead and being naturally geographically sensitive.

PyF is a python open source framework and platform dedicated to large data processing, mining, transforming, reporting and more. Thanks to its use of best of breed lazy data flow programming techniques, only one item is processed at a time through a complete network including splitting, merging of the flows : no huge data sets in memory, pyf processes are scalable. Heck, you can even send a branch to another computer and continue it there ! Oh, also... there are several existing output plugins like csv, pdf, xml, xlsx or fixed length flat files! Just drag and drop one or more and you are done with your output reporting.

Saw the slides for this preso awhile back. This article and linked video are brain-bending. Ruby is a powerful language, but how much power does it have if you remove all of its datatypes except for Proc and all of its features except for Proc.new and Proc#call? I’ll investigate by building proc-only representations of numbers, booleans, lists and strings, and using them to write an executable program.
