I wonder if this is how AppEngine was built.

In theory it should be possible to run Erlang applications on OSv as well [0]. I saw some discussions around this earlier, but I am not sure what the current status is.

This is pretty amazing. I really like to idea of using more Erlang for my projects and this would make the deployment to EC2 easier.

This has to be one of the worst UIs for a slide deck. "Why aren't these questions being answered?" ... "Oh, the slide advance UI changes. Too inconspicuous."

The next logical step is to elide the virtualized network and disk interfaces, and then we're back to shared hosting! See you again in twenty years.

Oh! You go down until you run out of slides then you go right.

To be honest I kind of like it. I was confused at first as well but this does allow you to more quickly go between sections of a powerpoint which just isn't possible with the traditional "you can only swipe left or right" presentation.

Not only that but it also makes it much easier get an overview about what things are discussed in the presentation.
