(So, naturally, this means you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get a lot of dead ends and half explored ideas\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6) If enough people feel passionately that my weblog doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t count then I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m happy to go with the flow and accept whatever definition is deemed more appropriate by those more involved in this kind of thing (open theoretical brain dump, or open theoretical posturing perhaps?) &#8220;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/discoproject.org\/\">Disco<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Disco is an open-source implementation of the Map-Reduce framework for distributed computing. As the original framework, Disco supports parallel computations over large data sets on unreliable cluster of computers.\n<p>The Disco core is written in Erlang, a functional language that is designed for building robust fault-tolerant distributed applications. Users of Disco typically write jobs in Python, which makes it possible to express even complex algorithms or data processing tasks often only in tens of lines of code. This means that you can quickly write scripts to process massive amounts of data. &#8220;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Academic_Research_on_Wikipedia\">Wikipedia in academic studies &#8211; Wikipedia<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Click <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/nielsen\/\">here<\/a> for all of my del.icio.us bookmarks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even more open science? \u00c2\u00ab Tobias J.
