How to update a single field in a MongoDB collection for all documents matching a specific criteria
// FROM: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Updating#Updating-update%28%29
//
// db.collection.update( criteria, objNew, upsert, multi )
// criteria - query which selects the record to update;
// objNew - updated object or $ operators (e.g., $inc) which manipulate the object
// upsert - if this should be an "upsert"; that is, if the record does not exist, insert it
// multi - if all documents matching criteria should be updated
//
// SQL VERSION:
// UPDATE myTable SET dateField = '2011-01-01' WHERE condField = 'condValue'

Reactor-based framework versus Node.js streaming

I've been hacking away recently at a JVM framework for doing asynchronous, non-blocking applications using a variation of the venerable Reactor pattern. The core of the framework is currently in Java. I started with Scala then went with Java and am now considering Scala again for the core. What can I say: I'm a grass-is-greener waffler! :) But it understands how to invoke Groovy Closures, Scala anonymous functions, and Clojure functions, so you can use the framework directly without needing wrappers.

I've been continually micro-benchmarking this framework because I feel that the JVM is a better foundation on which to build highly-concurrent, highly-scalable, C100K applications than V8 or Ruby. The problem has been, so far, no good tools exist for JVM developers to leverage the excellent performance and manageability of the JVM. This yet-to-be-publicly-released framework is an effort to give Java, Groovy, Scala, [X JVM language] developers access to an easy-to-use programming model that removes the necessity

Synopsis

At the top of the file there should be a short introduction and/ or overview that explains what the project is. This description should match descriptions added for package managers (Gemspec, package.json, etc.)

Code Example

Show what the library does as concisely as possible, developers should be able to figure out how your project solves their problem by looking at the code example. Make sure the API you are showing off is obvious, and that your code is short and concise.

OpenConnect VPN on Mac OS X

Unfortunately, the Cisco AnyConnect client for Mac conflicts with Pow. And by "conflicts", I mean it causes a grey-screen-of-death kernel panic anytime you connect to the VPN and Pow is installed.

As an alternative, there is OpenConnect, a command-line client for Cisco's AnyConnect SSL VPN.

Here's how to get it set up on Mac OS X:

  1. OpenConnect can be installed via homebrew:

     brew update
    

brew install openconnect
