Building Yo is not a hard problem.

What a wonderful idea. Just FYI, I went to share this on facebook, and the thumbnail was white on white. You might want to put a few metadata tags in there.

Just as an FYI, disconnect causes a number of login problems on a few of said sites rendering them unusable.

let's please just celebrate our differences rather than tear each other down. This is a real insult to anyone who doesn't consider themselves introverted...

This is a great talent acquisition play.

This is kind of mean spirited. Why hate on the MBAs?

I've used Node.js to power a little "social doodling" pet project I made: http://letsdrawit.com and I find it a useful way to think about concurrency because there are certain types of race conditions you don't have to consider (for example any critical regions in memory)

It's extremely useful for the "evented" part, but I get the sensation of using node for hosting webpages might be overkill and not the appropriate tool. Instead, I've got the node.js core proxied behind an nginx server hosting static files and ruby rack (for when dynamic content is necessary).

Does anyone see an advantage of using Node to host templated webpages?

"- It is compiled into machine code (no interpreter, unlike Python)."

anyone have any kind of measure on how bytecode compares to machine code these days? (most "interpreted" languages have a hidden compile step these days). I understand that this question is largely subjective to the runtime and the task being executed.

I really feel what they said about the community and core developers:

Reading the correspondence on the following bug really turned me off to the project. http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/5172.

Specifically: "Please do not reopen a ticket that's been marked "wontfix" by a core developer;"

I'm not sure how the issue jives with the whole Django philosophy, but with that much interest in changing the templating language, I found that a bit harsh...

Maybe I missed something, but is this really how Firefox's location services work? By phoning google with the MAC address? I understood google was logging them, but didn't know they were _using_ them...

happy to see disjoint sets in there

This is Facebook's "instant personalization" feature that just launched. You can disable it in the privacy settings/applications. (it's opt out).

The Mozilla blog is the mouthpiece of the Mozilla foundation right? Unless I totally missed something, didn't the author on behalf of their organization, offended both of their largest platforms owners?

Definitely unprofessional for both companies involved :-/. Zoho could have taken the high ground here, but instead just sank to the same kind petty name calling.

it's almost as if google is waiting to launch stuff until _right after_ a new feature comes out on bing

if you want it, totally build it!

they had paper schedules?

video chat will _not_ be the next killer app. Sorry.

different tools for different tasks. as far as setup time goes, sqlite wins by a long shot.

I wouldn't feel comfortable using something like markdown until I had a firm grasp of how it works and the kind of html it writes.

And at that point, I guess I might as well write good ole html... Unless browsers _universally_ supported a new better language, I'd hate to have to think of browser nuance in two different markups...

This is an old idea. Saw it years ago here: http://jakarta.apache.org/ecs/index.html

I'm not sure exactly why there's so much controversy here.

The customers of your website should always come first, and if they use IE6, support IE6. Making them upgrade is a surefire way to alienate them or encourage them to go somewhere else. (not to mention, if you already support IE7, supporting IE6 is not that big of a stretch)

i detect bias :)
