You can throw three things at problems: money, time, and code.

Do them in the right order
FB and Amazon turned out just fine without your help, the only reason you wish you had worked there was in order to extract and benefit from the great pool of wealth and prestige. Your value to society is nil for as long as you spend more mental energy consuming more than you create. Remember that all highly educated people bear a responsibility much greater than ourselves, and this responsibility is fulfilled only by sacrifice and discomfort.

I never quite understood how people would come to the conclusion that eating fat makes you fat.

They're examining an insanely complicated biological system with all sorts of intricate feedback loops and then singling out one type of nutrient basically because it weighs less per calorie.
I used that to make a demo for my realtime collaborative editing library:

I'm not a musician, so this is just my understanding of the changes as a programmer and after trial and error.

The '<<' and '>>' are bit-wise shift operators[1].

The '>>' is a right-shift which is equivalent to dividing by a factor of two. e.g. t>>n == t/(2^n) This can be used to generate a beat.

The '<<' is a left-shift which is equivalent to multiplying by a factor of two. e.g. t<<n == t[asterisk](2^n) This tends to shift the pitch

The modulo operator[2], '%', has very little effect, in combinations it can generate a looping set of ranged variance, which is particularly pronounced when combined with a division operator to create clear stepping. It monotonically increases to n, and then falls back to 0 and starts increasing again. e.g. t[asterisk](t%16/64) This increases through 16 phases, holding for 4 periods.

Addition, '+', and subtraction, '-' haven't been very useful for me except when using sin(t) or cos(t) which oscillate between -1 and 1 resulting in some interesting changes to the beat. e.g.t>>4+cos(t) is shifting between t>>3 and t>>5.

The AND '&', OR '|', a short circuiting OR, '||' come in during composition. Plain OR tends to generate better results, but that's trial and error talking. Honestly, too tired to think about this.

If your using node and doing work other than serving simple pages, then your probably sending that work off. Most production serious Node-ers know not to do heavy lifting within the system. I really don't know where anyone from the Node community has ever recommended stuffing their single threaded V8 backed event processor with cpu heavy tasks.

I still don't know why people are so maximist with their tools. NodeJS is a tool. It works well with your _other_ tools.

There - is - no - perfect - tool, no perfect programmer, not even perfect intent.
That's how it came across to me as well after I looked through the rest of his blog.
J2EE (what most people are referring to when they talk about Java sucking) is a really awful, verbose thing to write programs in, and I had those feelings well before I started reading articles about it. It's not a shallow criticism.

The JVM, on the other hand, is great, and lots of great tech has come out of it. I haven't seen too many people disparaging the JVM. There is also quite a lot of useful, stable library code in the Java universe.
But Ted, do you not understand that people use node.js because its a familiar language and a (relatively) fast runtime?

Nobody has been using for computing fib though. Nobody has been putting in things that burn non-trivial amounts of CPU though.

Its all about this: http://jlouisramblings.blogspot.com/2011/10/one-major-differ...
Tragically it's an excellent predictor, but his rationale for believing it so and subsequent gross generalisation is extraordinarily ignorant.

Actually, javascript running on v8 sounds like it would (theoretically) be an excellent platform for writing an Android app. It's fast enough and has a small memory footprint compared to java.

I would argue that heavily CPU-bound stuff shouldn't be run in a web app. It's much better to offload the task to a worker system via redis/zeromq/kestrel/etc. The majority of activity you see in every web app I've ever designed has been almost exclusively I/O bound.
I live here in China right now, and I can safely tell you that a lot of Chinese citizens don't believe in their own systems due to the corruption. As one co-worker told me, "If things get really bad, you can always go home. But we have to stay here."

I think you have to live here to understand the level of fear around corruption and the lengths to which the government is going in order to stamp it out (not necessarily successfully). This is a country where an executive can get the death sentence for tainted food products. It's happened as recently as this past summer.
In this context, I think "consulting" means Management Consulting, i.e. working for McKinsey, Bain, BCG, etc. Corporate recruiting at top schools is heavily dominated by finance and management consulting firms.

It's not the main point of the article, but I just thought I'd point out that node already does have a WSGI/Rack-style library for folks who like that kind of thing. It's called Strata (http://stratajs.org). Disclaimer: I'm the author.
I am not implying that there is a standard for Yalies that doesn't apply to others. I am saying that there is a standard that all of us should aspire to, and that the good fortune that Yalies have been blessed with better positions us to reach it.

When it comes down to it, there is more to assessing a position's value than the income figures on your tax returns. There are the products you produced, the innovations you fostered, the lives you bettered, and the individuals you saved. Not everyone is in a position, socially or financially, to effect such outcomes in their professional lives. Yalies, because of a mix of hard work, luck, and the outstanding generosity of others, are better positioned to make these positive contributions to society than almost anyone in the world. The fact that so many choose such a singularly self-interested path, one whose value is tied solely to the money they earn for themselves, is what upsets me.

They're funded locally, not by the state (in most states). There's just as much of an argument for a national lottery as a state lottery, if you want people outside the funding area to have an even shot of coming in.
I have to agree. The Internet somehow does create these weird pissing contests where people seem to want to show that they are cool and everyone else sucks. For example, in an internal mailing list where I work, there is currently a thread between two idiots over whether iPhone or Android is superior.

What a completely ridiculous waste of time!

The mature "elite" programmer knows that solving problems is more important than the underlying technology.

There was that article from pud a few weeks ago talking about "you won't like my back-end", where he details how he uses a Microsoft stack, including IIS. So many people were responding with how much better LAMP was, etc. But the funny thing is that pud has made more money and acquired more customers than 99% of the people who responded. He is solving customer problems and being rewarded with money, and not engaging in useless pissing contests over which technology is better, and I admire that.

j2EE != Java. J2EE is a framework. More accurate to compare J2EE and Rails. Or compare Swing to Qt. You can program in Java without J2EE and Swing (which suck). The criticism is against Java. You are adding your own qualification.

So Node is reduced to the trivial work? Then why make it unnecessarily hard on yourself?

I applied to Khan and they told me they have no slots to fill anymore (but thanks for trying...and feel free to contribute in your spare time). I can program in jQuery and know Django -- I sent them several demos directly related to generating math exercises. Either they are getting many applications from talented devs (and I didnt make the cut) or they arnt really hiring. I just hope they arnt using the prospect of a job as part of some viral marketing scheme.

The problem is that fibonacci was a bad choice in your example and it proved nothing.

It is fairly easy to scale node with multiple processes. As long as you don't have a long running (such as fibonacci) operation. If you do have tasks like that, process outside node and check for completion. Like how Tasks work in Google App Engine.

Also, most other web stacks will discourage you from running a 30s fib on a thread processing web requests. This isn't specific to node.

Node and coffeescript has worked really well for us. Product coming out later this month.

[EDIT: Just noticed that several other people pointed out the same thing. Looks like most node users are aware of potential problems, but I can see such issues being confusing for new users.]
One Node process is reduced to doing the trivial work, like you'd have in any other system.

Nothing is preventing the other processes from also being Node.

Real estate, on the other hand seems like a classic example of a case where the concentration of wealth really can make poor people poorer, by crowding them out of more and more of the real estate market through gentrification.

Of course, this depends on there being an actual scarcity of land. In areas where new land can easily be developed, it's much less of an issue.

Signs Your Company Will face Disruption Failure
>Honestly, should the consulting thing confuse or worry anyone?

I think the author did a pretty good job of explaining why she is worried, and while your two points are compelling, neither really addresses that explanation. You've got people who wanted to be artists, or public servants, or writers, or filmmakers, or non-profit workers, giving up their dreams for the sake of the security offered seductively by professional recruiters. That's a trade off for them, and perhaps liable to elicit a general shrug, but it's hardly a radical position to view so many making that trade off as potentially a loss for society or, say, humanity. Maybe the Shakespeares of this world always end up being Shakespeares. But maybe every once in a while they end up in finance or consultancy. I think it's fine that they have to freedom to do that. I think it's a shame that so much of the risk is on the side of "I'm going to be the next Shakespeare."
> "and they have to pay off their $100,000 student loans and raise a family."

With credit to Thank You For Smoking - that's the Yuppie Nuremberg Defense. Not saying that consulting/finance is like being a merchant of death, but it's really a poor justification for most things, and my eyelids twitch every time I hear it used.
It is up to you to figure things out based on possible worst case runtime scenario coupled with your expected usage on _your_ hardware. You choose what work is defined 'trivial' (based on your resources). Trivial is always moving, and dependent on the scenario at hand. My trivial is not your trivial.

If the 'work' is too much you move it to another process. Either another NodeJS processor or some agnostic queue based managed worker. That worker could be anything.

OR you decide to use another tool.
True, and in fact, this is how nginx works: the process that owns the event loop is separate from the process(es) that does the work.

This is a decent way of mixing an event loop and multi-core processing, but with Node, you're forced to marry the HTTP server to the application, which is a dangerously tight coupling of responsibilities.

If you really want to do something silly like write your application in server-side JS because you're familiar with it, then it should be through some interface like WSGI in Python (or even CGI in days of yore), which properly separates HTTP connection handling from application serving.
