Fair enough point, but they already have a logo... the word "node" followed by a little cloud then the letters JS. There's not really anything wrong with the old logo, but it's mor…

I really like node.js, but I'm afraid I can't say the same for the logo or even the statement that someone needs to "jettison preconceived notions about what Node should look like"…

The interchangeable use of 'Ruby' and 'Rails' in the original article (and some of the comments) is indicative of someone who has not taken the time to understand either. Conjectur…

I wonder if anyone will take this research and look at the appetite suppressing qualities of nicotine in light of this... perhaps a totally natural drug is already available to blo…

Well said.

When presented with '1 + 1 = 2', some people will be interested enough to ask why, and others won't give a fuck. Same goes for 'Hitler invaded Poland'. It doesn't mean one person i…

I love the first comment in the original thread, specifically: >“Microsoft has first class cross-platform application framework called Silverlight and they want us to right freakin…

I have these tiger repellent shoes. They're just standard black/black Adidas Superstars, but I have never seen a tiger while wearing them (and i have travelled a lot). I'm not sure…

>And yes, I DO think I could do better. It just doesn't seem that hard. So if you can do better and it's easy, how about you actually do something about it other than whine on HN? …

Microsoft might though, would certainly be more relevant than the amorphous live.com.

Fair enough - I can't really argue without trivialising things somewhat so I'll just leave it that :)

I agree with ehutch79, x86 virtualisation is well over 10 years old. There are many free (both as in freedom and as in beer) virtualisation options available currently, does FAUmac…

An interesting move given AWS' current core market (web based companies, startups, students etc - ppl who generally have no interest in Oracle databases)... wonder what kind of upt…

I'm not sure what the author of the article is trying to prove... that trademark law can be (and is being) abused? At least he had the integrity to quote the EMI lawyer throwing ex…

Proving once again, an idea without execution is worth precisely fuck all. All the non-technical founders out there trying to rip the executors in terms of equity, take note.

Sure, but I'm sure Roy Fielding would argue you can't have REST without HATEOAS. So on some level yes, it is great in theory, but on another level I would also argue that's where t…

Nice post. The single biggest criticism I usually level at REST implementations is the lack of HATEOAS - the discoverability aspect of REST is about more than just an easily unders…

The US is probably out - due to VISA requirements you can't stay there for any length of time. But if you do go there, I would advise setting yourself up with HSBC Premier in the U…

In my experience Windows ops/admins don't have anywhere near the depth nor breadth of infrastructure knowledge that *nix ppl do, and I have yet to meet a .NET web developer who kne…

I guess technically they don't qualify, but surely Microsoft's web properties have to be right up there. Billions later, they have yet to turn a profit.

Not sure about the jab at Microsoft, C# is just an implementation of an ECMA standard ( http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecm... ) and as if Java isn't undul…

In the first instance, just ask as one human to another if you can track down contact details - you might surprised. I went through something similar recently and it all worked out…

I always assumed it was 'etc' as well. Maybe only *nix people assume that because thinking about it, the only time I've ever heard 'etc' pronounced 'etsy' is with reference to the …

I think Quora's err page summed it up best - "We wouldn't be where. we are today without Amazon". There are lots of discussions about variable EBS performance from larger consumers…
