There we go, then I refer back to my original question(RBM's). I commented on this a while back on another thread. But radiology is where the big $$ is. Any plans to go look into this.
I think we are saying the same thing. When I say 'it is still only processing one request at a time', I'm referring to my code execution, not the async stuff or anything else within Node.

I found this to be a good explanation...

The article doesn't specify when he held that title. Of the dozen or so living former Deputy Directors of the CIA[1] there are only a few that I would expect to not to still be surprised at how much you can find out over the Internet. Heck, I'm still in my twenties and I'm impressed at how easy it was to narrow it down to one likely candidate.

Don't know about Rails, but I'm building a MVP using Node.JS and hosting a free dyno. Can handle 250 reqs/s for dynamic requests (i.e. full stack, Postgres, Redis, Jade, Express etc.) and 1500+ reqs/s for static contents. I do use cluster with 3 workers though. Pretty happy with the result so far.

I also love BTT. I have some keyboard and/or trackpad macros that allow me to organize my windows very quickly, to my desired quadrant or half of my screen.
The argument is not that things cannot change. It is that they are this way because of a confluence of historical accidents and individuals pursuing optimum-seeking strategies. There is certainly room for improvement. Here's how you don't achieve those improvements: write a Durden-esque rant about how They Trickered Us and Wake Up Sheeple!

The truth is simply that few people will find True Happiness following a median path in life. But, and this is what I feel this rant neglects, neither will they find happiness by reacting to that knowledge and simply picking an extreme path. The post you're reacting to only says each person will have to consider deeply whatever it is that makes them happy. That's it, no conspiracy necessary.
I disagree: OS X window management is geared towards people on a single laptop screen, no matter their level of proficiency. I am absolutely happy with OS X 10.8 on my MBA 13", and I use the new-style fullscreen quite a bit.

Once I arrive in the office and sit down with two external displays, everything suddenly works against me. I don't want to use spaces (it confuses me to have 2 displays x N spaces), but Mission Control insists on the spaces bar. Putting Xcode into full screen will effectively disable the other display. I'd go insane without Divvy.

Personal opinions about Javascript aside, it does cover several fundamentals, is available on every platform, and is established enough that it will probably (sadly) not be going away any time soon. If you're going to teach kids a language, maybe one that isn't gone by the time they're out of school (which is a distinct possibility for the languages you've named; a lot of good languages died within years of their arrival) would be best.
I wrote imprecisely. The technology is there - it's adoption is what will render this problem obsolete.
I think it's problematic to write in such general terms ("scripting" vs "system") because it only holds together when cherry-picking languages. Just because selected C derivatives are verbose and low-level, it doesn't follow that all other static, compiled languages must be too.

In hindsight, my own experience with university coursework was pretty horrible. It was taken as a given that everyone would use C++ for everything. Yet, it generally remained woeful C++ because no feedback was given on technique. Some diversity would have been nice so that I could have graduated sucking in three languages rather than just the one :)

Thank you for disseminating this information. It would be a great world if more designers really understood Android. The one's I've worked with haven't given much of a care about it, and just stiffed me with wrong size images, and I ended up having to sample them and make my own 9-patches.

Correction. We spend cash because we need or want things. If the utility I get from the thing I'm want to buy give me greater satisfaction today than the value I gain in the future from inflation, then I will still spend the money. It's all about marginal utility.

If bitcoins are deflating rapidly, those bitcoins have greater marginal utility if you hold on to them. However if they are deflating very slowly (not inertially) then people will spend them to get something that provides greater marginal utility now.

Humans are capable of putting a price on time (determine the marginal utility of time). Inflation is not the only economic circumstance that works for trade to occur. Economics is very relative and reflexive. The only entity that truly loses in a deflationary environment is the government, because they can't steal from its constituents by printing money and devaluing the money its constituents are holding.

More important than deflation or inflation is relative temporal constituency in the value of money. So long as money stays are relatively the same value for long stretches of time, i.e. it isn't volatile, then humans are afforded circumstances in which they can make rational judgements of value and utility.
So far as I can tell from the literature, nobody has licked the user-generated stories thing.

(Well, Eve has, in the sense that they basically built a sandbox and charge for time in it.)

There's lots of literature on building plots ahead of time. The only project that's come close to doing anything in JIT plots was Façade, and that still relied on picking plot elements based on an overall dramatic arc in a very limited scenario. It also required enormous manual work to reach a usable state. (Look up the papers though, they're fascinating).

The basic problem is this: in an AOT plot generator, your system controls all the elements. Every character is controllable, every plot twist is controllable and so on.

Add humans and things get wildly out hand, because human players are thoroughly unpredictable.

So either you "railroad" the player, which destroys agency and the suspension of disbelief. Or you produce what is essentially random events, which destroys agency but might preserve the suspension of disbelief. Neither alternative is very satisfying.

What's wanted is a system that reacts to player actions, constantly replanning current events to satisfy a general plot arc.

I looked at doing JIT, automatic, reactive plot generation as an honours project but it's simply too big for a 1-year project.

Basically pen-and-paper RPGs with a smart, inscrutable GM are still going to be the state of the art on this for some time yet.

Facebook was built on PHP and MySQL, both of which are awful pieces of crap.

Twitter went down like every week for a year. It was written on RoR by people who didn't really know RoR.

Meanwhile, a bunch of better engineers using better technology got their clocks cleaned while the winners eventually had so much money they could afford to hire an army of engineers to rewrite everything.

If you know Javascript really well, use Node (although I feel sorry for you). If you know Python really well, use Python (yay). If you don't know anything, well, pick something. If you are choosing a programming language because of how many QPS you can get on some trivial task, you are an idiot.

You know the graph I would like to see? A scatterplot of how good various startup founders and early team were on engineering vs finding a market fit, with the dots labeled with how rich they are now.

Here is the transcript of the NPR report I heard the other week: http://m.npr.org/news/Business/171476473

The truth is that Macklemore and Ryan Lewis hired a company to help them get their music into stores. That company, Alternative Distribution Alliance, is an arm of Warner Music Group, one of the most major of the major labels.

To carry them across the finish line, get to top 40 radio, get the number one song in the country, they went old school. They tapped Warner Music Group, not some quasi-independent subsidiary but the real deal. Warner gets them on the radio in exchange for a cut of the profits.

Those were the major points. They just used an arm of WMG to get bigger exposure both on the radio and via distribution. I shouldn't have said 'signed' above when stating that is how they got to number one on the radio, they just signed a deal for a major to take a cut of the profits for the exposure and help that that brings to get them to #1.
I've always used BetterSnapTool from the same developer, which is basically the window management features of BetterTouchTool as a standalone app.

Not sure why it's not free, when BetterTouchTool is, but I'm not going to begrudge him that one-off payment for something I use every day.
I'd agree with the "more than 1 year" estimate for any large code base. It could even be several years if your run into unforeseen problems. You probably don't want to even start a rewrite like that without first spending a few months thinking really hard about the architecture of the new system and making sure you'll end up with a feature set that does everything that your customers depended on in the old code.

And furthermore, while the developers are rewriting the code, who is going to maintain the old code? The demands for new features and bug fixes aren't going to stop just because you've decided to rewrite the code.

To what extent would using something like Amazon's ELB mitigate this sort of issue in a bring-your-own-cloud approach? Completely?

Nobody has a monopoly on exceptionalism.
I don't mind languages using brackets. I used to do a lot of C and C# development and it never bothered me. The problem is that, at least to me, a Javascript code base of around 2000 lines already becomes unreadable, specially when you consider some common patterns like 'declare a function to define a namespace'. You normally end up with functions inside of functions, calling jQuery event handlers by declaring yet another inline function... By the time you use a 'for' loop, you already are 4 indentation levels/brackets in. Messy.

As you say, libraries work around a lot of these problems, but most of these workarounds are hacks. 'require.js', for example. And you shouldn't need to use underscore to get sane typing. About OO... It's debatable, I think languages like CoffeeScript and TypeScript have done a good job of abstracting the weirdness, but that's the thing: they are languages that compile to Javascript.

Anyway, I like Javascript, don't get me wrong, it's just that I don't think it's a great choice for big codebases. I know I get a lot of hate every time I say this, but to me Node.js is an excellent example of using the right tool for the wrong job. Had the energy been put behind developing the same concept as a library to a language with a decent standard library, so much work would've been saved 'catching up'.

A great Steve Jobs quote relevant to your first point:

A lot of times we think “Why is the television programming so bad? Why are television shows so demeaning, so poor?” The first thought that occurs to you is “Well, there is a conspiracy: the networks are feeding us this slop because its cheap to produce. [...] but the truth of the matter, if you study it in any depth, is that networks absolutely want to give people what they want so that they will watch the shows. If people wanted something different, they would get it. And the truth of the matter is that the shows that are on television, are on television because that’s what people want. [...] And that’s far more depressing than a conspiracy. Conspiracies are much more fun than the truth of the matter, which is that the vast majority of the public are pretty mindless most of the time.

There's no conspiracy, just mindlessness. It's just how society has evolved over time.
Perhaps so. But what if said user is interested in tweaking things to bend entirely to their own way of (loose use of word) computing. So much to the point that they are willing to (develop and or/change the entirety of) some of the main points of the functioning operating system (window management).

Now the difference between that person and the guy thats fine with changing the windows theme to a different color....theres a distinction there the size of the grand canyon.
Sony Xperia Z review: Zero hour
I tend to agree that Google doesn't file enough patents.

For such an innovative company, with hundreds of different products in several industries, and many of the best and brightest employees anywhere, their patent portfolio is miserable.

Regarding, "It looks like Jeff took his ideas and sent them into the patent guys who dutifully filed them and voila"

Well, for one, this wasn't just "ideas". I created an operating system and used it myself for over a year, pitched it to management, sent it to a company wide email list, and got head count assigned to the project.

Aside from that, Google has been very contemplative about what patents to file or not file.

Without going into any great detail, I wrote 2 patents on my Google OS operating system - and only the one was ever perfected.

I wrote 3 or 4 other patents on unrelated projects that were all filed as provisional patents and allowed to expired.

At least 1 of the expired provisional patents was very, very commercially valuable, in my opinion, but Google apparently did not recognize that.
Guys, you've made a lot more money than me, so you don't need my advice. But if you want money back, you should probably be communicating in private through your lawyers. Posts like this look like you're trying to get (more) attention.

Less' F command is fantastic. Great lead! I didn't find anything in the man pages for less to somehow 'clear' the screen while tailing. Here is my pickle: I use xmonad under Mac OS X and it in turn uses xterm. CTRL^L does not clear the screen (helpful for a dev I have to say) -- maybe some key binding limitations there; not sure. Is there a way with less to do so when emulating tail -f ?

yes, please, if you could explain for non security experts what we can do to protect our pages from this vulnerability, and also please clarify if it's relevant to web pages that don't use frames / iframes (I guess some of us just shrug and say, "hm.. clever post, I wish I had the time to dive into this, but I don't plan to try to use this to attack other sites, and it's probably not relevant for me since I don't have any frames" so a simplified clarification will be highly appreciated)

Unless I'm misunderstanding scenario is this:

2) attack website embeds app in an iframe

3) attack website changes the URLs of the apps iframes to point to attacker-controlled pages

4) app sends sensitive info to its iframes, which of course ends up going to the attacker
I think they're being "good guys" by keeping this transparent. I don't think they're really serious about getting their personal money back, as I'm sure it pales in comparison to the developer expenses in trying to optimize on bad data.

Awesome work! :D
They ARE trying to get more attention and it's working. The only reason Heroku has prioritized this issue is because it has grown bigger than a customer complaint in a dead-end tracker. Rap Genius, by being smart and noisy, has made this issue about reputation. Heroku isn't on the line for fixing this one issue, they're on the line to do the right thing. And that's way more important to the long-term success of the company than one performance issue.
Gesture-based movement would be very interesting. Using the app also got me to thinking about common interactions using links - i.e. click a monster's name to attack it, an item's name to pick it up, etc. That could take some doing, though - how could the client distinguish between an object vs. mob, for example.

Might be interesting to be able to hide room descriptions and tap to expand them somehow. I don't typically use them in-game anyways, and on the app it's even more in the way.
I can't see how any of those 'vectors' lead to real-world exploits.

1) You can submit a form, ok, but where does CSRF comes in if you can't manipulate or send any data?

2) possible phishing target, but it still doesn't have access to the parent, and you have to be already visiting an iframed website (wrong URL displayed), and it has be using iframes to send sensitive data.

3) window.name was never safe.

4) postMessage without an origin check is not safe either, period.
