Am I the only one who thinks Dustin Curtis is kinda a retard with good design skills?

i cant tell if its antinode or what, but the server is randomly dying serving the static content. its not outputting any error messages either.

i'm going to have to run ab or tsung against it later to pinpoint the problem :-(

edit: just updated from 1.92 to 1.93...

i dont think it could be an antinode problem because the way im hosting this is that antinode is a child process of the application host. if antinode was crashing it would just restart gracefully, instead of the whole server is going down

edit 2: seems to be working now.....we'll see

getting lots of traffic....servers should hold....keep trying refreshing if it doesnt load

no marak squires for hook.io :-(

hopefully the videos will be out soon

???

Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Please be gentle, its been a one month death march or so to get v0.1.0 out.

There is a lot of room for improvement everywhere.

hook.io is FOSS and Saas

SNS is just Saas

http://hook.io actually will be solving a lot of these issues.....on a larger scale

Isn't the whole point of FOSS that the code can be redistributed without caring about issues like this?

A person who does not respect the time and energy that have been invested in the Project, and acts to punish such effort by giving others associated with the Project -- including, but not limited to, the Author -- a hard time. A Dick is nearly always selfish, but not necessarily with deliberate intent; some Dicks are merely thoughtless. The distinguishing characteristic of a Dick is that he or she places burdens upon Reasonable People, reducing their motivation to engage in open source activities. This damping effect is a significant detriment to the Project, to open source in general, to the production of new intellectual value in the world -- and, ultimately, to the Dick himself or herself.

Sound pretty subjective to me.

False assumption your rich asshats.

NOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEE

I am the only one that doesn't see anything wrong with this?

Did I miss something?

Yeah there were a ton of awesome PHP frameworks and Python web frameworks in 2002.

:-(

CF was one of the nicer programming languages I've ever worked with. Circa 2002-2005 there wasn't anything close to a better alternative.

The down-fall of CF was Rails since Rails is open-source, huge community, is free, and powered by Ruby. CF was closed sourced, small community, and powered by Java. Yuck.

I'm pretty sure I could write a better JS ORM in less then 10k unpacked (no comments / docs).

32k packed is pretty fucking big for a JS ORM.....

I think most people are missing the point here.

Sure some people will get rejected for having inappropriate content associated with their name, but the lack of having a good online persona is way worse then having a bad one.

What do I mean? Do you have a professional blog? Are you an active commenter on any professional mailing lists or forums? Do you help run or maintain any open-source projects? Does googling your name reveal a comprehensive history of your career?

I know personally that I get most job offers directly from my github account and linked in account.

I really wanted to apply for this, but the project I'm working on doesn't really require any funding at this point. Also, I'm based in NYC.

Obligatory big ups to node:

node is amazing and the community is non-stop.

go to local meetup groups for some of the technologies you are looking for.

if there aren't any local meetup groups start one.

I would highly recommend not bringing your idea / company to seedstart.

I had a bad experience with them and so have a lot of other people I've spoken with in NYC.

Last I heard Owen Davis gave 250k (nyc seed money) to a friend of his and the company went broke in less then 6 months.

i got stood up twice by the founder of drop.io who never showed up to two separate meetings he setup.

really awesome to have to pay $20 you don't have for a taxi to meet the companies founder and then have them not show up, twice.

i would highly advise against applying

Yeah good luck with SeedStart Summer Program.....

why don't you ask them who the winners were last year? there weren't' any. Owen and his buddies are just culling NYC for possible good ideas to poach, huge waste of me and my teams time.

from the site, "We will give up to 10 teams a small amount of funding, space, and mentorship in exchange for a small piece of equity in whatever they build."

be sure to realize that "up to 10" is a fancy way of saying "zero" or "none"

javascripts

ZOMG THE INTERNET HAS WORMS

i see you are incapable of understanding the word "pretend" or visualizing n-problem scenarios....if you still don't get it...i give up...

and im using this code in production.....and its working out great......its a really simple concept.....

How would you load that CSS file dynamically into your DOM?

pretend you had 1,000,000 CSS classes that could be used in your one-page JavaScript application. you cannot load all of these with <link> on page load.......too much data.....you'd have to start dynamically loading .css files using AJAX requests......and you realize that dynamically inserting a <link> tag isn't cross-browser...so you try to parse the .css file in JS.....but then you realize that you have no way of natively parsing a .css file in JavaScript.....so you find / build a .css parser.....which is slow as balls.......then you want to start manipulating these classes and have no place to access them......so you have to store them in memory somewhere....might as well use nested JSON!

pretend you didnt know what your CSS classes were going to be until run-time.....like creating dynamic DOM views based on user input.....you would have to store your CSS properties in memory regardless....might as well use nested JSON!

pretend you had an entire javascript application stack and several tools for managing JSON documents on the server and the client.....

if i'm refuting people who disagree with me....this is not my fault. i am simply responding to peoples comments and questions. i'm always open to insightful suggestions and recommendations.....

edit: also i'd like mention your comment about line numbers is kinda silly.....i could just make it one line.....its JavaScript.

i said 4 lines since it was : function declaration, for loop, if conditional one liner, else conditional one liner.......

if you are really that upset about the line number count please let me know the correct amount of line numbers and i'll be sure to update my page
