I think you misunderstand. What I meant to convey is that I believe adding filler weakens her already valid point.

Some of those try much too hard, which is kind of silly because you don't need to reach very hard to find people saying stupid/ignorant things about any race/religion/sex/gender/or…

Kind of code golfing it: http://play.golang.org/p/s53zQrE0ei

The problem is that the general public is going to take "unbreakable encryption" at face value. So don't worry, unbreakable encryption prevents the hacker from getting access to th…

The post was a riff on the standard "One weird trick that [does something] discovered by [quirky, unexpected source]" ads you see.

Which is too bad. I'm curious about rtc's argument around machines taking the pictures. It seems the logical conclusion of his argument is that if you buy a camera, and the softwar…

Other way around: opting out will cost extra.

Q contains some helper functions for creating generators, tying them to a promise, and automatically starting the generator, eg Q.async(). I've found that I'd rather continue using…

Have you ever worked at Amazon? He did. For 3 years (I did for 4). I very much doubt PA is any worse than Amazon with regards to it being the job from hell. Everything in the PA jo…

You're conflating their target functions. etcd is all about configuration distribution. Serf seems more like its about member discovery. So you might have a service you run in mult…

No, you're just missing the point. People are focused on the profit and monetary cost of decisions based on their limited capacity to reason about time, which is on the order of pr…

This is a relatively short-sighted view, and the problems with it can be summarized with two very glib statements: 1.) Don't shit where you sleep. 2.) Don't put all your eggs in on…

In the short term: https://github.com/laverdet/node-fibers In the long term: http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:generators

They haven't reached them, that much is obvious since Lua is every bit as dynamic as Javascript and LuaJIT is orders of magnitude faster than V8.

If Google was only interested in putting a faster language into Chrome they could have just shipped with LuaJIT for Lua and been done with it. Obviously they're more interested in …

I don't think there's a reason to bake futures/promises into the language. Once you've got coroutines (generators here), people can build the abstractions around them that they lik…

That's a pretty terrible way to share code. Simple example: I work on a project, write some code. Turns out that code is useful for someone else, so they reach in and include it, w…

Harmony will include generators, which are basically coroutines.

> Very common problem: interviewers asking questions about who was going to take care of the kids. Not to excuse this, but it made me think of a rather terrible mistake I recently …

Node is marketed towards people with Javascript experience to a large degree, it seems to me (I could be wrong). People with Javascript experience more than likely have it via writ…

This is great, but I'd rather not use a fork of Node, and Joyent isn't going to integrate this, unfortunately. I wish that Google would just add yield to V8, but they won't do that…

I do like that parsing the claims and determining what is being described is actually harder than designing the system from scratch when you actually finally figure out what the he…
