Yeah man, I'm working on it. That site isn't even mine. Someone on the IRC created it and just posted all that info. I wasn't really asking for handouts.

I had a few coins left and started selling them at a high rate to try and counter my losses.

Was wondering when someone would actually take the time to look up the facts. :-)

Let's go find your last days on the IRC. I'm trying to have conversations about servers and you are interrupting us with...I don't even know.

          [09:20] JimBastard: yeah, with rackspace i get to control the guy going to the rack with a REST api
          [09:20] JimBastard: hrmmm, i need more traffic on our sites right now so i can stress test the new fucking proxy version
          [09:21] V1: The 3 minute install is only possible if you actually have rackspace account
          [09:21] JimBastard: V1: aye
          [09:21] JimBastard: <3 rackspace

          [09:24] JimBastard: ?
          [09:25] callen: JimBastard: ?_?
          [09:26] callen: JimBastard: you know Hans Zimmer?
          [09:26] JimBastard: from the die hard movies? yeah
          [09:26] callen: lots more than that, but sure.
          [09:26] callen: JimBastard: pure dramatic orchestra kitsch. It's like cotton candy with string and brass instruments.
          [09:26] callen: JimBastard: I am addicted ;_;

          [01:21] callen: JimBastard: boo.
          [01:22] HAITI: cheers

          [01:22] JimBastard: ?

          [03:09] callen: JimBastard: wake up.

Lol....

          [15:09] <JimBastard_> ive got like 200+ gigs of VSTs
          [15:10] <JimBastard_> and then like 30gb of just drum samples
          [15:10] <callen> listentorick: here's how this works
          [15:10] <JimBastard_> pretty much every VST i could find over a 5 year period
          [15:10] <callen> listentorick: you mention something JimBastard_ thinks he knows about, then he one ups you
          [15:10] <nefD> you can use it as a musical scratchpad if you want to mess around, you can use it in live settings (pun intended) very well (at least, in my experience), and its extremely competent for full fledged composition
          [15:10] <callen> listentorick: best thing to do: don't bother.
          [15:10] <listentorick> :)
          [15:10] <caolanm> haha
          [15:10] <JimBastard_> always with the personal attacks, everytime
          [15:10] <JimBastard_> i've never produced or released any music
          [15:10] <JimBastard_> http://myspace.com/yeoldewreckingshoppe
          [15:11] <listentorick> when I create the killer app which I'm failing to think of, I'll get a shiny mac
          [15:11] <JimBastard_> (links a shitty myspace that hasnt been updated in years)
          [15:11] mitkok has joined the channel
          [15:12] <callen> JimBastard_: at least I don't sit on IRC one-upping people when they're discussing their passions.
          [15:12] <JimBastard_> no, you are just a hater who doesnt produce anything and attacks people he is jealous of
          [15:12] <callen>  :)

If only there was some way we could verify any of this. Ohh yeah, http://nodejs.debuggable.com <= Full logs of the node.js room.

So what is this troll accusing me of doing? I've threatened you with a gun? Let's jump to 09/02/2010. I am "JimBastard", and you are "callen".

     [21:31] JimBastard: would any judges who wants to promote testing in nodejs vote for our project? with an hour or two to go we are trailing by a very slim margin for the utility category. the leading team had more judges vote on their stuff, so they have a higher weighted score. 
     [21:32] tjholowaychuk: JimBastard: which one is above?
     [21:32] sschuermann: JimBastard: What are oyu pointing out to? 
     [21:32] MikhX_ has joined the channel
     [21:33] JimBastard: tjholowaychuk: we are being edged out by, http://nodeknockout.com/teams/prague-js . seems like a good project, but i feel ours has more long lasting utility 
     [21:33] JimBastard: i wouldnt want someone to vote for us without looking at both projects objectively
     [21:33] JimBastard: we are, http://nodeknockout.com/teams/the-nyc-nodejitsu-ninjas
     [21:34] callen: JimBastard: if I give you a gun, will you start shooting people who complain about javascript's type system?
     [21:34] siculars has joined the channel
     [21:34] JimBastard: callen: for 5 star votes right now, ill do just about anything
     [21:34] JimBastard: also, i have my own gun so just tell me who
     [21:35] JimBastard: :p
     [21:35] jesusabdullah: While I wish my own project was doing better, I really liked the idea of prenup
     [21:35] callen: JimBastard: grumpy java bastard trying to learn js. driving me nuts.

AHAHAHA! Hilarious troll. Now I remember why we had to ask you to leave the #node.js irc room.

I want to get mad at you for talking trash, but it's obvious you've had issues with me for a while. Why don't you just let it go? We've never met before and you really don't know anything about me.

Breaking news: Author of web framework writes benchmark to prove his web framework is the fastest.

I'm fully aware of how Developer Works operates and that IBM isn't directly responsible for any of the content posted.

With that being said, the clout gained from being posted on IBM.com means a lot to many people who have no idea how Developer Works is run and randomly come across the article from a google search.

Somewhat unrelated, but anyone interested in NowJS should definitely check out https://github.com/substack/dnode first...

"Instead of spawning a new OS thread for each connection (and allocating the accompanying memory with it), each connection creates a process, which doesn't require the memory block to go with it."

"Currently, Node doesn't provide a default way to create dynamic pages."

"Yes, Node is a server program. However, it is definitely not like Apache or Tomcat. Those servers are stand-alone server products, ready to install and deploy applications instantly. You could be up and running with a server in a minute with these products. Node is definitely not this. Apache can add a PHP module to allow developers to create dynamic web pages, and programmers using Tomcat can deploy JSPs to create dynamic web pages. Node is definitely not this."

"Image file server A company that has a large distributed website (think Facebook or Flickr), could decide to devote entire boxes to simply serving up images. Node would be a good solution for this..."

Do I have to write up a full synopsis for you?

I disagree with your assertion.

There is too much inaccurate information in the article for it to be taken seriously. The author is bias and spreading misinformation.

My headline was meant to highlight the absurdity of the article.

I'm also the author of the node.js rap.

The OG rap about node.js: http://soundcloud.com/marak/marak-the-node-js-rap

Awesome! I look forward to meeting you one day. I'd love to hear your reasons for having a problem with me considering I've never spoken with you before in my life.

It's just super lame. tlrobinson has been hating on #nodejs for a while because it went against some of work he put into CommonJS.

It's really sad to see someone trying to derail an effort like this over some petty personal vendetta.

> Just not sure why you feel the need to package up this kind of trivial stuff and spam HN with it (under a different username, for some reason: http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=marak)

That account has been silent-banned for awhile ( as most of my accounts have been for flaming / trolling people). I cannot use it anymore. Notice all the submissions are missing?

What would you like me to do?

I don't understand why you are hating on me. I've never done anything to you or interacted with you in anyway.

If you consider the work I did on https://github.com/marak/JSONloops to be "trivial", then I implore you to build your own multi-user real-time audio sequencer that work's in the browser and is written in 100% JavaScript.

> I'm surprised he didn't just write a 10 line script that wraps a command line utility and call it a day. Oh right, he did.

What's up tlrobinson?

I wrote a stop gap hack to get stuff done while I prototyped the JSONloops format and merge algo. tmpvar and h1jinx then helped out with writing an irrklang wrapper to get low latency playback when my side was ready (see: https://github.com/Marak/JSONloops/blob/master/vendor/play.j... ). Now that both things "work" I want to improve the project.

Why the snarky comment? I'm just trying to have some fun with a little side project. :-(

I'll allow it. :-)

I'd love to do it myself, but I've tried a few times without much success. Hopefully, I will be able to learn from someone else should they choose to do this.

I'm seeing documentcloud listed for new york?

Looking really good indutny!

      ( javascript mothaafuckkka )

      ( dont cry for rails )
      ( nodejitsu motthhafuckkka )

      caus its the java-to-the-script doing this since 96'
      peace to brendan eich for making it exist 

      it's an open-source license, of course we be frugal
      peace to Lars Bak for v8 from Google

      big ups to Ry Dahl for keeping it real
      big ups to Joyent for paying all the bills

      big ups to Marak, the new kid on the block 
      saying invest in nodejitsu, its a top pick stock!

      ( why? ) node.js allows for real-time sockets
      over http, its socket.io and you cannot stop it! 
      Guerimo from learnboost blowing up like a rocket
      just go to the github for the source (if you wanna cop it!)

      need to install packages, use the module system
      it was built by isaacs a man of knowledge and wisdom

      npm install foo, now you rocking
      require foo in any script you be dropping

      ohh so you know a jQuery?
      don't write write node and code 
      thats crazier then tim leary
      because thats kinda scary if you don't know flow control
      too many callbacks, its time to slow you roll

      try Step by Tim Caswell
      Chainsaw by Substack, it's just as swell
      make your node code sane and not looking loopy
      Node.js is the best so you better run Ruby.

      (Run Ruby Run Ruby Run)
      (Run Ruby Run Ruby Run)

      so we throw our hands in the air like we don't just care
      we wreck with Connect as our middle-ware
      using the node-inspector to get up in there
      we dance around on Github like Fred Astair, i swear
      the Node wiki page is our second home
      if it's not open-source yo we leave it alone
      Node is the king and he can't be dethroned
      Node is the code that's the hottest tech
      if you don't have Node you better protect your neck

      you see, node blurs the line of the server and client
      battle hardened technologies and a community that is reliant
      10 year javascript veterans that never threw in the towel
      immense skill and experience like my friend paolo

      it's javascript time, we own this shhhh
      have a refreshing taste of caffeinated coffeescript

      drip, drip, drip, thats the sound of OSS 
      from document cloud jeremery ashkanes is the best!

      from nyc.js im making it clear yo
      big ups to indexzero computer science hero
      big ups to brian mitchell, and fotoverite
      big ups to tmpvar,  his capacity is very
      intimidating, there is no debating
      if you are a hater, node is what are you should be hating

      ( javascript mothaafuckkka )
      ( node.js mothhafuckkka )
      ( javascript mothaafuckkka )
      ( nodejitsu motthhafuckkka )

      ( PEACE )

I asked myself this same question in 2009 and have been working with node nonstop ever since...

Can you please respond to my point? Your example is flawed since it will only work on a few specific systems.

most of your commands don't run correctly on my system, I'm running Mac OS 10.6.4. I'm assuming that some of the tools you are referencing have different names or need to be manually installed.

While I don't agree with your original point, I do appreciate your code! You get a few key benefits from operating inside of the Node environment, but I also think it's important to present users with the *nix way of doing every command. I mention this pretty clearly in the ReadMe

Would you be willing to get a fork going on Github? I don't want to just copy and paste this code without getting a proper attribution going. It would also help out with the collaboration process as I'm sure more people are going to want to update these snippets. I should also point out that most of your commands don't run correctly on my system, I'm running Mac OS 10.6.4. I'm assuming that some of the tools you are referencing have different names or need to be manually installed.

node-static can be used as a "middleware". Here's an example of it being used in Stack: https://github.com/Marak/bugger/blob/master/lib/stack/static...

Not required. We'd much rather see an active Github account or experience working on open-source projects.
