    Do those people really log in to use Facebook or do they use Facebook as an authentication provider like Pinterest and other sites?

    Good stuff! This is more appealing than that fire whatever it was database. Agree with other posters, if we could get an implementation for localStorage this would be beyond awesom…

    Unless you have an overclocked, ultra graphics machine running distributed apps or playing games most of the day, a desktop does not cost that much more to run. Just because your p…

    I don't get what's so innovative about Meteor. You can basically do the same thing with socket.io and a thin facade layer to expose services so they have the same API on the client…

    Never was a real fan of Twitter, BUT since they've opened up all their cool open source projects, I'm their biggest fan!

    These are getting a little stale. Vapor.js was amusing when it came out. It's like they say, you're beating a dead horse.

    Being one of those idiots who went all in with MongoDB with our startup, I can relate. NoSQL should really be called NoDB. There will come a point where you ask, "Dude, where is my…

    Sorry, I have to disagree about chiclet keyboards and I consider myself a keyboard Connoisseur and a touch typist. I own a couple of vintage IBM Model M keyboards, a Northgate, a F…

    And I have used it in a previous project. I'm not questioning the quality of the driver. My point is the inconsistency of the driver API vs the syntax used in the `mongo` utility. …

    Too bad they didn't provide a node.js API closer to the mongo command line utility. See https://github.com/marcello3d/node-mongolian.git . The official driver is modeled after Ruby…

    That seems to be pretty good odds. What percentage of startups actually succeed? I'm in the wrong app business.

    Setting unicode, changing backspace, setting xterm-256 as the TERM variable, etc ... PuTTy configuration is unintuitive when you first try to configure it. There's a well known pag…

    Windows! I spend most of my time coding in PuTTy + Vim when I'm on windows. In my limited testing this works as I expect with xterm-256, tmux, and Vim on my Ubuntu 12.04 Server wit…

    But why? I'm not loyal to Dropbox. Competition is good for the rest of us. I get 25GB free from SkyDrive. I hope the others follow suit.

    Confusing. It says upgrade to 25GB for less than $2.50/month then it says 20GB for $5.00/year. You would think with Google's budget they would have some person read the front page …
