Wow, I've already thought of a bunch of cool ways I could use this. Although, it does remind me of runat="server" for some reason. :)

Yes, we've taken a little inspiration from Jaxer. But NowJS is much friendlier since you have the power of the Node.js support.
Sometimes I assume that I am an archaeologist digging up some of these devices. Without the context of Steve jobs, brand apple etc, such decisions might look odd given that everything else at the time seemed to have USB ports etc.

I just remembered an article written by Alex Payne (al3x), former engineer at Twitter (and used to work in the API):

He's saying that commodities are expensive now due to exemptions granted to banks, and only to them, that allows them to rollover perpetually long positions while charging management fees. This is causing inflation because there is a lack of liquidity from a cornered market.
I'm not all that familiar with the websocket specification but isn't it pretty much just TCP connections? In which case p2p would be very similari to say TCP bittorrent?
Users don't need to know what it is, the device does! The important thing is that most every USB mass-storage device uses FAT32 - memory sticks, camera cards, phones...

"It wants to be a general-purpose network surveying tool, but is constrained to the UX of a port scanner."

What exactly does that mean? Nmap certainly isn't constrained to the UX of a port scanner. In fact, their expansion wasn't even in the form of bundled build, you can get all the tools separated, like: nmap, nping, ncat, ncrack...

So actually, it really isn't detracting from its basic purpose, you can still run simple network scans. But, if you got the knowledge, skills and the other tools installed, you can then also do much than advanced network scans, like vulnerability discovery and exploitation, passwords bruteforcing, etc...

Your comment isn't making much sense to me, please help me understand.
Imagine how thin and light it could be if batteries were not required.

He's just saying they used what they knew best. For example, there's no reason Git has to be written in C[1]. Mercurial, which is Python, is doing just fine. C is what Linus and the kernel hackers knew best.

[1] Yeah, I know it was mostly hacked together using Bash and Perl, but that was a long time ago. Now it's mostly C. I'm suspecting they rewrote the performance-critical stuff in C, and left everything else alone. Not sure, though; I don't follow Git development.
Rival node.js RPC project (dnode) author chiming in here.

This is pretty neat and I like the emphasis on getting stuff going in as few lines as possible but I'm not convinced that return values and implicit result callbacks are the way to go for asynchronous requests, which is how I understand this project to work. Often when you want to make a remote call you'll be doing some I/O on the server side, which in node is asynchronous so you can't return right away. Passing along a callback from the client side works much better when the I/O actions have some values to call the client back with.
Neither is.
It isn't fair to critique a philosopher (or anybody) without reading them, but ... I just can't take Ayn Rand seriously. Like, at all. And to compare her to Aristotle seems laughable.

Ugh, all this chatter about the iPad as some transcendental post-PC device is getting really out of hand.

With Apple building this post-PC device the plan is to rid users of the relics which came with computers;

filesystems - because (with very few exceptions) you can't actually create content on it, and you still have to manage your data through iTunes which is still very "shackled" to the filesystem. What happened when people started getting too many apps on their homescreens? Apple gave them folders, which...emulates a filesystem. What?

Windows update - because you never have to update your apps? Sometimes multiple times per day? And hey, you never have to perform iOS upgrades, right? You remembered to back up your data, right?

setup installers - Sure, given. Apple has streamlined the crap out of the user end of the "get new software on this device" process.

RAM upgrades - Just buy a whole new iPad every year!

and USB - This is just a really weird inclusion. USB isn't hard for people. USB is really easy for people. Everyone knows what a USB plug is and where it goes. If it plugs in, then your host system can communicate with it. You don't have to go mess with your system configurations to get your system to see that there's a USB device plugged in.

The author is probably too young to really remember what computing was like pre-USB, but serial/parallel ports and COM/LPT port management was a pain in the ass. Conflating USB with crappy driver software is ridiculous, especially in the context of the iPad, where the software (and thus, any potential driver support) is already locked down airtight.

As others have pointed out, there are USB dongles available, as well. The reason Apple doesn't include a USB port on the iPad is simple: they don't control USB, the USB spec, or the manufacturers of USB devices. When you have custom ports and custom specs, you get to sell custom devices and retain absolute control over who and what interacts with your device.

It's worth noting that Android phones ship with a USB port, and I've yet to hear anyone of my dozens of family and friends using them complain about it being too hard or confusing.

The power of the northridge earthquake was indescribable. To think that this quake in Japan was more powerful blows me away. During the northridge quake, it literally felt like the entire world was coming to an end.
You do look worse on paper. The only way to fix this is to get a degree.

However, you don't need to worry about this. I haven't used anything from uni that I learned, without having learned it by myself with a bit of elbow grease. I had already known SQL, javascript, etc before dealing with them at college.

Universities are quickly becoming obsolete. If I were looking to hire someone, and if one applicant had a very impressive Github repo, and another had a 4.0 from an ivy-clad school, I would choose the former.
Hey substack,

The implicit callback is definitely my least favorite part in building NowJS. You can still pass in an additional callback to do any asynchronous I/O. We're trying to find ways to make this experience better for the next version

Sad, Wet, Cold People Waiting in Line for the iPad 2 (Video)
Albert Einstein was certainly smart, but he did not live to see how socialism worked out.

Einstein lived long enough to see how Stalinism worked out; he outlived Stalin. On the other hand, by some definitions Norway is socialist and things seem to have worked out pretty good there.

This kind of discussion is pointless: everyone uses "socialism" to mean whatever they think it should mean and then argues. It's like a bunch of people getting together to play a game, except one is playing chess, one checkers, and someone else poker. Then they all get indignant and yell at each other, which I suppose is the real game.

By how much would the world supply of argumentation deflate if people paid attention to whether they were even talking about the same thing?

I was hoping for link to the discussion. But clearly the issue was not your answer it was the way you answered. The answer is clear from your opinion: to find rockstar developers, you also need to be a rockstar entrepreneur/business/marketing/money guy.

I do not think that in this case it is about Quora Though I find it difficult to participate effectively there. But that is not a effective or valid reason to argue that discussion can not occur there. It can, and does. But you need to follow its own style. Much like stackoverflow.

dissent is not about escaping the system. It is about participating in order to change the system.

Of course, I am already hoping you take this frustration and build something better.
I think this is more of an "Ask PG".
Aftershock: My eyewitness account of the Japan earthquake
-Not many people are going to have content on their PC that needs to get pushed down via iTunes.

-iOS updates are simple, you plug in your device and wait for the update to complete. You'll probably get an update once a month, how many do you get on Windows or OS X?

-Setup is pretty streamlined, press Install and you're done. Nothing asks you for a for a folder location, if the icons should be on the desktop. There's no next button, it's just a one click, type a password and install.

-Or maybe every two years, because right now the iPad 1 is pretty slow.

-USB is hard. You may think it's easy because you're used it it but people still have have trouble figuring out if this XXXX usb tuner will work with their "Windows".

-You're correct, I just started using computers when USB hit the scene. But just because it was harder back then doesn't make it easy now.

-They're not called USB dongles.

It's always been the traders on Wall Street that have caused it. The idea that was sold to us was to prevent another "Oil crisis", but the reality is that this does nothing to prevent an oil crisis. There's literally nothing going on as far as supply is concerned yet the price is rising dramatically.

What exactly do you expect will happen when an actual supply problem occurs? The same thing that would happen if we weren't trading oil futures--except this time bankers are making tons of profit off of it. And believe me, they won't take a loss.
On the other hand it could be good, the international community may have less patience for gaddafi's bullshit.
I think it happened early in the morning or something. I remember hearing about it, but I was asleep at the time and didn't feel anything.

But yes, there was one that supposedly could be felt from here a while back.

The p2p api is really the libjingle used in Chrome Sync, which is used to sync your Chrome/Chromium bookmarks and stuff. And it was introduced to Chrome/Chromium many years ago. If you checked your Chromium error log you can see lots of lines says p2p error.

The real news is now the p2p functionality shows a possible Javascript interface[1] to be used in Chromoting[2]

I guess the next step would be handcraft XMPP envelopes in Javascript. Each browser instance you open on any device would be indentified as a JID/resource string.

In addition to my previous post:

See, the key point here is this. How much does it cost Saudi Arabia to pull oil out of the ground? Very little. It's below $10/barrel last time I saw a figure on it. So all we know is that for the most part these oil producing countries are capable of sliding prices dramatically in either direction. There's probably a minimum they're wiling to sell for, of course--but it's drastically lower than what a banker who paid $90/barrel would sell it for.

And we really shouldn't tap our oil reserves because of a bunch of greedy fuckers. We should instead be slapping the banks around for gambling with our entire economy, once again.
Blending this with browserify + backbone + redis will be really easy to do. I think it will definitely simplify the dev of our app ; allowing us to share even more code between the client and server so that we can maximize code reuse.

"Removing the relic USB means Apple can say to users, whatever you plug into this thing just works."

I think it is more about getting people used to what Apple thinks the future of personal computing should be like.

It's like the PADDs on Star Trek http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/PADD. You never see them plug their PADDs into anything. Or plug anything into their PADDs.
Thanks. I've had the option to return to school for a while now and couldn't find the long-term motivation to do it for the reasons you cited. I think, especially in software, that there are many more useful criteria for judging a candidate, and degrees don't represent too much more than your ability to operate in the real world (which can be supplanted with experience), and an understanding of foundational theory without necessarily being able to apply it </sweeping generalization>. I'm not too worried about being out of work for lack of degree. My primary concern is being stuck on a rung in my career by not taking the time to learn it. I have an idea for what my gaps are but wanted to get some feedback here in case I'm missing out on something.

The solution I settled on for dnode is that a deep traversal finds all the functions in your argument list, pulls them out, and wraps them. This part of the protocol is a reusable module if you want to go with it:

It's written for continuation-passing style but it shouldn't be too hard to retrofit it for other call styles if you want to preserve explicit returns for instance.

USB use amongst users is just too hard.

Where exactly did he get this conclusion? USB is the easiest peripheral interface ever made, that's why it's popular.

He is correct that the iPad will never have a USB port. But not because of ease of use -- actually it's because of the opposite. Apple has a very long history of choosing interfaces that are incompatible with the PC. Does anyone still remember the first iPod was Firewire and Mac-only? Purposeful incompatibility is what Apple has always aimed for, and they continue to do it today on all their computers and devices.
On that note, (browserify author here) I would love to see projects like nowjs start to abuse the "browserify" field in the package.json for client distribution like dnode v0.6 does (presently in staging until socket.io-node v0.7 lands). With this field you can `require('pkgname')` in your browser-side code just by specifying 'pkgname' in your require list, even though pkgname might have both server and browser-side components.

You answered a question with a question, possibly a wise question, but nevertheless an obtuse reaction to the questioner's want of tactical knowledge. You were downvoted once and decided that one person's lack of appreciation of nuance meant the service as a whole has none, and that it wasn't for you.

I quickly conclude from this that you are quick to conclusions. I've found many topics on Quora which have accreted answers which encompass a range of nuance and even questions in kind. I may have even downvoted some of those answers, but I didn't do so in hopes that anyone would stop using the service.

In re: whether you just don't want to be on Quora or you are predicting its demise, the title of your post does allude to a certain implacable finality...

FWIW, just to put things into a bit of perspective, I recall reading some stats saying that the average american spends something like 5 hours per day in front of a TV. (And numbers for, say, surfing the web during work hours weren't particularly exemplary either.)

Regarding social withdrawal, and things like hikikomori (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikikomori), perhaps the issue isn't so much of self-discipline, but one of social environment, e.g surely such gamers must develop above average game playing skills, but they might not want to put similar effort into real life challenges because of fear of the unknown, or out of spite of parental/social pressure, etc.
