There is no such a thing as 'outgrowing Node.js'.

Often, people who think that they're "too good" for Node.js are people who had a single bad experience; they designed their Node.js app poorly (E.g. they didn't think through their architecture enough) and then instead of blaming themselves for their ignorance, they put all blame Node.js.

It's always convenient to blame the tool. But I've used a lot of different tools and I can tell you that the tool is almost never the problem.

I've found that people who don't like Node.js are often people who were forced to learn it because their company used it. These people had resentment against Node.js from the very beginning - And they kept this resentment with them while they were 'learning' it - And as a result, they never really learned it properly - They never fully understood it.

Not everyone has to love Node.js but there is no reason to hate it either. It's a damn good tool.
I think that was the plan after the court fight with Samsung. But after some quality problems (IIRC with LG displays) Apple had to give up the dual-source approach for at least some components.

Now the original iphone was probably 80% Samsung design and manufacturing, but these days the design part is closer to 0%.

He doesn't explain why... other than ranting about the callback model (which has been in our desktops forever, most event systems rely on callbacks). The quote in the post has also misleading statements, NodeJs does scale in load and performance which is one reason why people use it instead of Python (which was one of the quote suggestions)

Personally I think that the idea that these trends can ever be revered by some sort of world wide agreement to lower consumption is a pipe dream. People want to eat meat and drive cars and fly on airplanes. As long as they're rich enough to do so you'll never stop them.

The only solution to this problem is technology. Some combination of green energy sources plus probably very large scale terraforming.
I agree 100% with Linus, especially the boost comment. It was heavily used in a project I worked on and "boost" soon became a curse word.
Well the trend has so far been that countries increase their emissions generally and not the reverse. Especially with emerging economies like China and India.

A lot of Swedish politicians claims that Sweden has lowered it's emissions and while that is true we also outsourced a lot of production and increased our consumption rendering our emissions actually higher when you count that in.
What? It's been open source for years!
Well.. yes. But I think a lot of people are going to have kids nonetheless and a lot of people here maybe already have kids.
The tutorial for "Introduction to javascript" uses the Java logo as it's image/thumnail. That would scare me away if I was interested in learning javascript.
Solar panels now sell for about 45c a watt out of China. Cost to create is around 36c / watt.

This allows deployments such as in Chile & Dubai where the cost/kwh is 3 cents & below.

This now cheaper than coal, without subsidy.

Remove the subsidies that oil, gas & coal receive, and you will witness a new day.

Only problem for solar right now is over supply caused by a sudden drop in demand. China reduced its subsidy a bit. Also the US extended subsidy for 5 years, which is great, but it has removed the urgency to complete utility scale solar plants before subsidy cutoff, causing the utilities to sit it out & wait.

Better act soon! (250 years to clear CO2 from atmosphere, feedback loops only now being discovered.)
Of course, there will always be people who are less than noble in their pursuits. In academia, in NGOs, in environmental groups, in government, in private industry, everywhere.

Ask yourself though, even if all this climate change and global warming is FUD, what happens if we respond to it like it is real? Result: we have a cleaner planet (cleaner air, cleaner water, oceans that still support life) and we have a sustainable path when fossil fuels do eventually run out.

What happens if we ignore it? Result: the potential demise of the world as we know it...

Think about it from a risk vs reward perspective. It's clearly much riskier to ignore than it would be to take a hit on our economic growth and pivot hard to 100% renewable energy.

This has been my conclusion recently too. Sure, we can all do our own bit individually, but I can't realistically see a global shift in conscientiousness taking place.
>I don't get your comment. So that an adult male is raped is a lesser problem than either a teenager or a female is raped. I find this conclusion quite disgusting.

I agree: you don't get my comment.

Note how I never wrote that "an adult male [being] raped is a lesser problem than either a teenager or a female [being] raped". Note also how my comment was an argument against prison rape.

What I alluded to is that most of the people who casually joke about prison rape, would never joke about female rape or teenage rapes.

So, what I meant is that they should consider prison rape under the same light, since it also includes those things -- which is an easier sell to make them see the brutality of the situation, even those that don't particularly care about a murdered being raped, etc.
It's still pretty clearly a violation of the intentions of the gcc developers, and something that only exists to wrap one product seems very suspiciously like a derivative work. I'd be curious to see this tested in court.

Thank you for mentioning adrenaclick. Generics have been completely missing from the public debate. While epipen price gouging is very real, and a problem, there is one short term solution for allergy sufferers: demand an Rx for the generic. They are under $200 (source: checkyourmeds.com). Vote with your wallet!!

Looks like the differences are: extra safety cap and Epipen brand has an auto-retracting needle.

Not only this, but as the article touches upon, it may end up being lethal to go outdoors. At over 35C/95F with humidity of 100%, humans and other animals cannot cool themselves, even naked, in a breeze, in the shade, and die of heat exhaustion.

So yet more air conditioning will ensue, consuming more energy, warming oceans further, raising humidity, and thus exacerbating the problem.

Positive feedback cycles sure are great.

iOS Keychain Privacy Issue
iOS apps persist keychain data even after the app is deleted.

For example, this allows Facebook to track you across multiple installations even if you intentionally uninstall the app.

There is no way to delete this data without jailbreak.

IMHO this is a huge privacy issue that needs more awareness.

The fact that two or more programming languages are particularly suited for a certain task has absolutely no bearing on the general usefulness of having conversations about what languages are good for. It has absolutely no relevance to state that; the discussion didn't become more or less valid by that assertion.

Discussions that are prolonged like that become long because people are not actually being _objective enough_.

If you had an objective discussion about Python and Ruby you would conclude that yes, both of these languages have very broad ecosystems and are particularly suited for scripting (and glue work). Python is better suited for scientific computing, etc.

Nothing about the scenario you speculate about invalidates good discussion about programming languages and I don't know what about the scenario makes you think it does.
Identifying a problem is separate from coming up with a solution for all but the most trivial of problems.
> They had the technology of building a folding city for god sake, yet the protagonist is doing some heavy labor dealing with the city's trash.

Yeah, not very realistic. Much like "They had the food to feed everyone, but they left people starve". Or "They had enough wealth to provide free health care, but they left people untreated". They have to stop making stories about ridiculous ideology taking over when, litterally, people never fall for such things.
> It should be noted that North African is generally not black

It's not as simple as that. Do a Google image search for 'Tuareg' and you'll find a number of faces that meet modern British (and American) conceptions of 'black'.
Global warming also increases the number of extreme weather events, so we can't necessarily extrapolate winter => winter + 1ºC, so therefore we need less heating.
I tend to agree: you can't go "back to nature" when you have 8 billion people running around, a larger and larger portion of which want to live like those of us in developing countries do (especially in the basic sense of having AC to escape this increasing heat). AC is a great little allegory for the whole thing... would you rather have AC and deal with hotter and hotter days, or forego AC and wait a century, have no children or grandchildren, and hope things return to where they were?

We need to reduce the solar incident radiation...

I don't dispute there is climate change. It is pretty self-evident at this point that the climate is changing.

I personally switched to the following policy a year or two ago to avoid all this crap:
1) NoScript extension filtering everything except the base domain => no third party scripts are allowed except when I explicitly allow them
2) Cookie Whitelist extension to allow cookies only from domains I choose, only when I need => no third party cookies allowed, ever
3) µBlock incase the webpage tries to load iframe ads
4) a unique email address per service (like amazon.[5 random chars]@mydomain.com) so if all else fail and your address gets in the hands of somebody who should not have it, you know where it came from and can expose them

I understand the troubles you're having with GIFs, however, I'd just like to say that none of the modern "image video" formats work on my Android, which is why I have to use a separate browser from Google Play Store to download the video and then use another separate player app to watch what usually amounts to a 5-second clip of something happening. In many cases, I'd prefer a GIF of the file.
Responsibility (blame) is not the same thing as "who can I sue?"

For one thing, finding the source of the problem, or whatever warped thought process resulted in it, is a good place to start fixing things.

Yes. Most neural net applications separate training and inference so that once the net is in production it doesn't change, though it might be replaced with a new net rather frequently depending on how much the distribution of data it's operating on changes over time.
Very nice work, I love the simplicity. With a reliable persistence layer, this could be a viable option for a production job queue.

You are oversimplifying the situation. I used to be a C++ backend developer and that was our stack because we needed return the response as fast as possible.

Nowadays I work as a backend developer using NodeJs and C#. I wouldn't use any of them for the former job and there are good reasons why I wouldn't use C++ for my current job. So there is such thing as right tool for the job even in one part of a web platform

I do believe that when programming at "machine level" your language needs to be as simple and straightforward as possible. It needs to obey you like a sword. Yes, you need some mastery, but you know that your every action is effective. No lost effort, no mind tricks, no unnecesary complexity.

I find that every abstraction level makes me more unhappy and somehow lost..

So yes, I do believe Linus knows something and for sure he's not trying to fool himself. When you really try to build something to actually be used, all those abstractions will bite you..
That article dates from 2011. PFI is being phased out. Look at the graph in section A here:

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachm...

PFI reached its peak in 2007. Current number of deals being added are at the level they were at in 1995.

It's worth asking why any new deals are being signed at all, but when we're down to the level of 8 per year (vs 65 at the peak of New Labour) it's fair to say that they're much less popular than they once were.
You misread the WWII example which was considered completely ok. In different war: "In 1952, President Harry Truman seized 88 steel mills across the country, asserting that unyielding owners were determined to provoke an industry-wide strike that would cripple the Korean War effort. That forced nationalization did not last long, since the Supreme Court ruled 6-2 the action an unconstitutional abuse of presidential power." (You might want to read it vs skim.)

Also of note, their are thousands of examples in history, this is just referencing a few hundred to make a point.

PS: It's also worth noting that the mob example was taking control not just ownership. These companies where money laundering for example so they needed to remove people from the payroll who did not work there.
"Remove the subsidies that oil, gas & coal receive, and you will witness a new day."

Yes. But you will also need to remove the anti-dumping import duties on Chinese-made PV cells.

Those are some pretty big special interest groups (particular the first one) receiving government protection from foreign competition. So good luck with getting those protections removed.

2. Go to the UN an straight up tell them "we can make this problem go away, give us 1tn$ and 20 square kilometers of land in these countries, over this schedule with these milestones".

3. Profit.
> Sites possessing isotopic evidence consistent with the presence of first-generation immigrants from North Africa are found in all periods looked at, although there is a clear peak in the Roman era.

That makes sense. North Africa was better integrated into the Roman Empire than Britain was, really, so it wouldn't be surprising to see a fair number of North African Roman citizens, socii, or provinciales in Britain on Roman business.

I understand that but a customer shouldn't be force to buy hardware from the vendor, or be charged a fine for not doing so. Either work the cost of the hardware into the price of the service, or offer a way to have the service with limited support if the customer wants to take care of it themselves.

Verizon should be able to know if their service works all the way to THEIR box, after that it's my responsibility if I choose not to pay for the additional service.

Also the power grid cannot accommodate in it's current form. Older substations struggle to do with the load fluctuations that are caused by solar panels, which is why they are discouraging them in Hawaii.

You think these duties will stop the Chinese? Ha ha ha.

Already the major chinese manufacturers are opening fabs in Malaysia. First Solar and Sunpower (US PV companies) also manufacture in Malaysia.

I'm not saying they are actually doing this, but how hard will it be to ship modules from China to Malaysia and then onto final destinations?
Well I am by no means a great computer programmer or anything so I can certain accept other people saying node is crap but as someone who has used node my reasoning was simple: if you are going to use javascript in the browser and pretty much everything about the "app" depends on what happens in the browser then why use some other language on the server for models and controllers with javascript in the views? Why not just make it javascript all the way down?

Sure, smarter people than me might know why I shouldn't use javascript for everything but for me I do not find it useful to try to figure out how to do so much work in Rails or Django AND THEN ALSO end up using javascript in the views every time anyway. I would rather skip using Rails or Django and just get to the fun part of figuring out what happens next when this button is clicked on the website. I don't think I am alone in that. Rails and Django were a means to an end but they set the bar too high in terms of "programming" and require a lot of programming knowledge that I don't actually need to know to do what I want to do now with node. Sure, my code might suck but unless you are working in some super professional environment with highly skilled managers, pretty much everyone's code sucks. It's about getting the functionality you want with the least amount of effort. Node makes that possible.

In web frameworks, over the past decade, we've had various PHP frameworks, Zope, Ruby on Rails, Django, a variety of microframeworks in various scripting languages, Play, node.js+express in a handful of configurations (though generally MVC-ish), and Phoenix. There's very likely more that I'm forgetting.

In deployment, we've gone from SFTP scripts to Fabric-like software to PaaS to configuration management software to Docker, and then it seems every 6 months there's a different preferred way to make Docker do something useful. And of course there's the eternal argument over whether to deploy to VPSes, cloud platforms, or bare-metal hardware.

The "hip" web companies at any given moment - the ones who need the latest and greatest components to impress investors and attract "rockstar" "10x" developers - aren't tied to any specific language. They'll pick whatever was the most popular at the time they needed to pick something. Hence, right now, you have a whole lot of companies building on Golang and node.js, where they'd've been building on RoR five years ago.
I take it the world isn't going to be 'saved'. The question is how we respond to that.

Why do you see 'saving the world' as a priority? The natural (non-human) environment doesn't have any right to exist. Our priority should be to avoid harming humans, and people born into a world that's mostly uninhabitable for them will have pretty shit lives.

Long term, the world will be fine, we won't.
