Off-topic, I know, but are we calling 2008 "2k8" now? Is last decade the 2k's?

The domain module looks fantastic: http://nodejs.org/api/domain.html

"Domains provide a way to handle multiple different IO operations as a single group. If any of the event emitters or callbacks registered to a domain emit an error event, or throw an error, then the domain object will be notified, rather than losing the context of the error in the process.on('uncaughtException') handler, or causing the program to exit with an error code."

This will be great for things like request handlers, initialization code and other "loose" blocks of code where you don't really care about success but you do care about errors not propogating.

Not a fan of this. Especially when you are just starting out with an idea that changes rapidly. A Google Doc with a few bullet points for key goals and big deadlines is more useful.

What technology is being used to create this?

Agreed. They are unbearable. But name a better alternative!

Anything that I can think of like adding to the CAPTCHA such as a half-line of letter above and below or adding noise would probably make cracking them programmatically even easier.

Agreed. Also look up "sexual harassment at conferences" for a handful of recent examples.

Since a nation state is supposedly behind this, wouldn't they have secured their command & control hosts better?

"Rushed" is the wrong opinion to have about it.

What's impressive is that at no other company you could wake up one morning and say, "HTTP is slow, so let's change that." Google, amazingly, can do stuff like that, and I'd rather them ship early than not ship at all.

(Well I guess Microsoft could have done it but they would have screwed it up like every other net technology they introduce and then we'd have two internets or something worse.)
