stuinzuri··on JuliaCon – June 26-27 in Chicago (1st Julia convention)
Nothing on the site except for a logo, dates and a pair of horns. But still, this is another positive development for the Julia language and community.

Try again, please. We spun up more and larger instances to handle the interest from HN.
stuinzuri··on Try Julia
All fixed now. We have added more servers of larger instance types to support the Julia RELP.
stuinzuri··on Try Julia
Fixed now. We have added more servers of larger instance types. It should work great now.

OK, we've added more servers of larger instance types! You should be good now.

Yup, we've been properly slashdotted. Attempting to bring up more servers and shrinking session timeout. But...

Our Julia REPL servers been slammed. We are shrinking the timeout and bring up more servers. But our capacity is not unlimited. Folks might have to come back later. Sorry about that.

Yes, we've been slammed. We are shrinking the timeout and bring up more servers. But our capacity is not unlimited. Folks might have to come back later.

Well informed and well put on all points.

Side note: The example streams are progressive download. I pulled one down and had a look. It uses AAC for the audio codec. They are not listed on VIA's licening page. (http://www.vialicensing.com/licensing/aac-licensees.aspx) As a comercial company, they should be hip to this kind of stuff.

stuinzuri··on Tandberg attempts to patent x264 open source algorithm
They _claim_ to have documented it internally. Garrett-Glaser has publicly documented his case. Any blind faith in the accuracy of Tandberg's response is not shared by me.
