Here you are talking sense.

Except you're the one who brought up $200k as a number to begin with. And those people who sold themselves into debt slavery, by going to an extremely good school, may actually sti…

Hahahaha. I've totally posted my response to a recruiter on FB before, because I had to vent about it. He nails every important point, including that we should have some sympathy b…

Nice! I didn't realize so much had been done on dataprotocols.org yet!

PouchDB is ready for some testing and play. Dale Harvey has put a lot of work into it recently: https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb I'll see what I can do about getting a good pu…

I started thinking about the dictionary attacks, too, and ultimately you're right. Not worth enforcing and easy dropdown changing is eventually what we want. Thanks for your though…

Yes. I totally agree. I would certainly love to support multiple distinct personas. There is an open question of how to do that while mitigating the damage potential. There are als…

Thanks! Wherever possible I'd like to ditch the personal information after signup and just keep a hash or something that we can use to prevent multiple accounts using the same Twit…

I think Jon was just trying to provide some information on the spectrum of possible identity solutions one can choose from. At Hypothes.is, it's extremely unlikely we would try to …

We're not trying to compete for attention in the social web. Part of that is reflected in our involvement with the W3C Open Annotation Working Group ( http://www.w3.org/community/o…

Quite the opposite, actually. I will be seriously considering the privacy implications of everything we do. One of our core principles is a commitment to pseudonymous accounts. To …

I should add we have a low-volume list for outgoing announcements if you'd rather just hear those: announce+subscribe@list.hypothes.is

Thanks, zerostar07! If you're interesting in helping out, watch https://github.com/hypothesis or subscribe to our dev list with dev+subscribe@list.hypothes.is

That's only true under the assumption that popularity is the only factor in visibility. On hacker news that's not even true entirely because there's a temporal factor: new postings…

My understanding is that attempts will be made to algorithmically promote diversity and to reward/punish social behaviors in such as way as to discourage discursive protectionism.

XMPP MUC is not fun, nor fun to scale. IRC has netsplits, but it does work reliably for tons of people all day every day.

Do it.

I think this is coroutines under the hood?

Not necessarily. A callback function with the standard signature under the hood is implied. If the author is controlling flow into and out of these execution contexts there is no r…

There's room for improvement. Most programmers shouldn't need to know how to write asynchronous code just as they shouldn't need to know how to write concurrent code. Consider mute…

node-fibers is one attempt to put coroutines into node. I like it because it uses libcoro, which is nice and tight and uses ucontext, and because it works as a module without forki…

The thing to hope for is the death of the terminology and the proliferation, not consolidation, of technologies. Saying that all these diverse storage systems are all "NoSQL" and t…

The problem doesn't come with the inserts, it comes with the deletes, where CouchDB will keep some metadata and stubs around to support its replication use cases. In a pure logging…

HBase might be a good solution, too, but I don't know a whole lot about it. CouchDB would work fine but you'd want to add some operational automation and a proxy to roll over betwe…
