@ChadBeeder Re-watched that part a few times. At first I though you had left that breakpoint disabled but that doesn't seem to be the case. Perhaps the modem wasn't powered on in the first place and that function is never called?

Anyway I'll be checking back to see if someone figures it out.

@bcosta Interesting question. Where would do you think it can be of use?

 

Great talk. I'm sure all that information will come in handy as most languages and hardware are adopting this model.

@Charles The page title has the same problem: http://imgur.com/KwHatso

@Charles http://imgur.com/aUfHGnH Actually, I think this is a link to the same page we're on, it makes sense that it isn't click-able but there's still a minor problem with the escaping..

I feel bad bringing this up in the comments as it doesn't relates to the contents. If possible feel free to delete these comments after the fact.

The talk itself was the most thorough presentation I've seen on the topic. Quite enlightening.

The link to part one under the "More episodes in this show" section of this page doesn't work. There's probably some HTML escaping bug involved as the angle brackets are not displayed correctly in the link text.

I didn't know about these interviews. Nice stuff.

Shouldn't this one also be tagged "Microsoft Board"?

Regarding Erik's remark at the end: With explicit state management you can easily check the state of a phone call in the database. But if you try to inspect a serialized continuation you would see something like a line number and a stack trace. That may be great for debugging but it could make it harder to tweak the code or database before the operation terminates. The current trend in web development is to be very explicit about state. But maybe we're pushing it too far, I don't know.

I like the way you can suspend a process or fork it across the network. That's quite impressive!

@Super Mario: I don't know anything about the D language but I think they were only referring to the use of the vtbl as a mean to expose object interfaces across languages. Not the whole of COM.
