yes, and I do that often. My point is that Javascript + Node would make the basis for a nice bash replacement.

absolutely... Im imagining a 100% javascript shell. 'jash' ? node.js is great for all those perl-y 1 to 10 liners. It should be the shell.

Webkits share cookies = ouch.. so you really need a VM. New browser feature - open this site in a temp VM.

Theres no reason why Adobe [ or more likely, a startup ] cant write a superb (web based) animation editor for designers, which spits out HTML5/CSS or SVG + Javascript. Couple that …

Why not just launch a startup and build a superb reader that solves the problem and looks nice? Wouldn't it be better to have the freedom to implement your own version of what the …

yeah I really want Lokenote to be realtime, but hit the practicality of shipping.. so its 'hit refresh' initially :[ My intuition is that 'Layers/Layars' are a good abstraction for…

yes.. I didn't mean to say location information is time-static.. I want there to be better tools / web UI to supply current location information. So the person in the street can fl…

Geo-data is effectively 'read-only', it seems to me.. There are things local people know about, which still diffuse by word of mouth - and I still see paper notices posted on lamp-…

I think hes right... I created Lokenote.com as I saw people posting adverts on lampposts, but I think that was too vague an idea, so maybe my first go at Lokenote was too generic […

like the idea.. and Id really like to see a fully javascript unix shell. Using mongo, node.js for real work, I find this a really practical environment, and I often write little 'p…

powered by mongoDB + node.js under the hood. I actually wrote my own KeyVal over Postgres in js. It worked fairly well, but got better perf with MongoDB which I found quite sane an…

+1 for absolute relative social local time!

sadness.. Steve Jobs built beautiful useful things. This solid alu keyboard with rounded corners tells a story of someone who cared.

It strikes me as somewhat 1984-ish / Orwellian This is a trade agreement! I assume it has no provisions for 'extraordinary rendition' of mp3 downloaders ?

I only know networking basics, so not sure about your other use cases, but I was pleasantly surprised how useful something like 'http-proxy' for node is. I use it to serve up sever…

yes, I much enjoyed flipcode.com back in the day, particularly Alex Champandards series - http://www.flipcode.com/archives/The_Art_of_Demomaking-Issue... I played with Javascript s…

Just in case any of you host on linode, their Fremont located virtual hosts are down, due to DOS attack. Would have appreciated an email from linode before discovering this myself.…

Its a bandaid where a bazooka is needed... but its an epsilon of improvement in the right direction.

And.. Warm Hug to all the team for nice work on the site and congrats on the 3.4 release!

re my last point as I just noticed YUI App Framework - I like the idea of a framework.. but the Todo List app just seems overweight. I personally dont want to see a Rails style or …

Site looks better. +1 for [Download] button. I use YUI mainly for table/grid widget - I preferred API design in YUI3 but found various table UI bugs when I 'mixed in' sortable and …

Where would we be if Tim Berners Lee had patented http ? Google need to win the 'make patents irrelevant' battle not the 'my bullshit patent portfolio is larger than your bullshit …

Note to Google - fix smartphones and insure against future patent abuse by advancing an even better alternative - a fully formed HTML5+Javascript mobile OS offering. Mobile and Web…

Heartbreaking to read this. Hang in there. It may help to think that a) these people are broken in some profound way, possibly from some early abuse b) this may not be directed at …
