Judging from the description it does what the other 1000+ Node MVC frameworks do. What's the advantage of Sails over them? CRUD scaffolding is nothing new in Node's ecosystem.

Apparently their edge is that users can manipulate the database on their own in the default scaffold?

EDIT: Downvote without a comment is not constructive. This is a legitimate question. Care to explain?
Make that 8 seconds per signature and they'll be working on it for 16 hours or 2 full working days. At $1.3 million per day I find that reasonable.
It's not as if the bitcoin developers are asking people to throw their money into it. It's still experimental, subject to change and hard forks, and they've said over twitter and the forums many times not to invest what you can't afford to lose.
He's talking about a personal runway, not the company's runway. He personally has enough money for 2 weeks before he's unable to buy food for himself and his family (etc.).
Impossible? No, but not very probable either. I am not an expert on human physiology, but I presume it is very complex, and doesn't lend itself to hobbyists making large breakthroughs.
If tomorrow I read an article saying a biologist has solved P = NP, I would treat that with a lot of skepticism. It is possible that he gained enough expertise to do so, but given that some very smart people have been spending a good portion of the lives on this, I wouldn't consider it likely.
Most answers offer a triple-A game dev perspective, so here's some indie...

Toolsets are much more obtainable on Windows. That includes cracked apps, educational licenses, and plenty more sources. They're also more expansive; almost anything runs on Windows, even if in an intermediary way. There is also a vast majority of apps that run solely on Windows.

Huge majority of your end users are on it, so you need to have it anyway. Running a VM just to test stuff out is inconvenience to say the least.

Other devs to whom you communicate use it.

Documentation and help all over the internet covers Windows side much better than other OS'. Source files already available for inspection are usually made to compile on Windows.

Macs are expensive and whole experience of being jailed in OSX doesn't really go well with indie attitude. IOS gold rushes somewhat turned game dev eyes on it, but that's dying recently, as more and more devs try to find opportunities on various existing and upcoming Android stores. Toolsets for iOS sucked anyways.

Linux (on which I'm trying really hard to develop a workflow) lacks application ecosystem neccesary to fuel all the game development aspects.

Last, but not least - gaming. We game a lot. And a lot of it is nostalgic, some for inspiration. No other OS offers such a huge quality game title offering as Windows does.
Apple seems to have made a few bucks by selling hardware. I don't really see why Google can't also go that route if it wants to.
I don't quite understand.

If I visit a web page that has an ad then that might net the website owner $0.001 (or something along those lines, I have no real figures). I would personally have no problem paying $0.002 per page view to get an ad-free site. No subscription, just pay a very small amount per view or get ads.

From my point of view, which is probably naive, the website owner would rather have $0.002 instead of $0.001 per page view.

Actually transferring fractions of a cent is of course difficult, but there are ways to work around that.
I considered building my own too, but it seems like a lot of work for something I can sort of do without. Are there any open source web-based feed readers that are worth setting up and running?
This is just using ifttt with _one particular RSS Feed_, which does not substitute Google Reader at all.

If there was a way to link up ifttt with a opml, or maybe a way to create a new feed out of OPML, that might work.
No, SO really isn't a good place for those questions. Mods are just applying the rules set there long time ago.

But exactly for questions like you're asking, there's programmers.stackexchange.com - see these questions which are in the same category as the ones you listed: http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/4507/do-you-t... , http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/22019/whats-t... They're upvoted, not closed there.
LIfe being reduced to 1's and 0's, this is the worst thing I've read in a long time. Eating fresh tasty food is one of the joys of life, why on earth would you want to cut that out of your life. What's next, a way of reproducing without having to have sex? What's better than a home made burger, English breakfast, pasta with sauce from fresh tomatoes and basil, seafood fried rice?
One of my friends has his Google Reader feeds matched using ifttt to a IM in his GTalk account. So every time a new article arrives at google reader, he gets a ping from bot@ifttt.com .

Take a look around at the sample recipes. IFTTT is a super-powerful tool to play around with.

One of my side projects is to hook up ifttt as a webhook service.[1]

The BK-Tree – A Data Structure for Spell Checking
I was in the SimCity Beta1 and tested it thoroughly in the very limited time that was given. It was very hard to test different concepts and parts of the game - none the less, a lot of bugs and a lot of serious issues were found.

I reported 10 separate issues with detailed specifications of my hardware and software setup - with detailed observed behaviour and actions that I could remember were related to the issues.

There was an forum for the SimCity Beta1. There was plenty of individually reported issues discussed and tested by different persons, and there was good creative discussions going on as well.

The forum had the functionality where you could click "I've had this too!" to a main post in the Bugs/Issues sub-forum.

Then again, it was pretty obvious that we weren't supposed to test the game all that thoroughly - because of the limited game time and very restricted game play in general.

It was basically a quick demo play. And that in itself is alright I guess.

EA is large and has a lot of QA/Testers - not sure about the Maxis sub-division though.
didn't even realise I was on linkedin.
While we are getting attention, please support RSS news open source ecosystem
Google Reader is down and out.

Let's move on. How about supporting open source projects that are working toward a sustainable great news reading experience?

There's Dave Winer's Rivers (http://tabs.mediahackers.org/?panel=dave)

There is Cartulary (https://github.com/daveajones/cartulary - http://news.southernbread.org/)

There's my Android Rivers (http://goo.gl/kShgp - https://github.com/dodyg/AndroidRivers/tree/PodcastPlayer)

There's NewsBlur (https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur - http://www.newsblur.com/)

and there are many more.

News is too important to be concentrated in a few hands (Twitter, Google, etc). Give some love to the open source projects (Feedback, usages, etc) and ensure that innovations keep coming on this field.
My god. How underpaid were the web devs of this site? They must have gotten to the point where they could proclaim "It works now!", then thats when the funding must have been got cut off. It's that or, they are just bad. Meanwhile, the site looks bad.

It's really, really not hard to use image sprites (not necessary here); merged JS and merged CSS.
Oh, and it looks like the feed API may not be used to save anything; Google's API ToS [1] document has the following text:

Unless expressly permitted by the content owner
or by applicable law, you agree that you will
not, and will not permit your end users to, do
the following with content returned from the APIs:

* Scrape, build databases or otherwise create
permanent copies of such content, or keep cached
copies longer than permitted by the cache header;
* Copy, translate, modify, create a derivative
work of, sell, lease, lend, convey, distribute,
publicly display or sublicense to any third party;
* Misrepresent the source or ownership; or
* Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright,
trademark or other proprietary rights notices,
falsify or delete any author attributions, legal
notices or other labels of the origin or source
of material.

The first two bullet points are the ones that apply. You can't use the feed API to fetch a bunch of feeds and make them available through an app, for example.

I thought their copy of Facebook is pretty good, or at least better than the original.
If it's too difficult, don't do it. If you choose to do it, don't complain.

That implies an overly simplistic and (IMO) incorrect view of the human condition.

Quick simple example: complaining allows one to blow off steam which frees up the mind to focus on success.

Put another way: just because you're (perhaps temporarily) scared/unhappy/confused about what you're doing, it doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, or aren't well-suited to doing it.

Same here, I've used CoffeeScript on a biggish project and found myself longing to return to JavaScript.
Yep, I can relate to this.

10 years in catering (a pub kitchen and then a steak restaurant chain) starting as a pot washer, then commis chef all the way to grill chef including stints as acting head chef in a couple of other local restaurants in the chain.

Constant hard graft that had 99% of deadlines measured in single digit minutes not months.

It also meant I had no problems getting part time work whilst at University. I could walk straight back in to the job each term/semester, and also continue work back home during the holidays. I left University almost debt free despite getting no grant[1] and no money from parents (they couldn't afford to).

1. The UK system of subsidising University students that was in place in the 90's. This was the days before there were course fees.
You generally don't develop for a single distro: you develop for linux. Which then works on every distro. If you're optimistic enough you could even try to make it work for every *nix, but whatever.

The only reason steam is made specifically for ubuntu is because it uses apt-get to actually get steam. If valve put more effort into making it like every other linux application nobody on any distro would have trouble running it.
Hopefully that feature can be disabled ?!
You would need to find a very localized, specific

Couldn't you monitor the version control system trunk for patches fixing bugs in the critical section of the code, work out the bug based on the fix, and exploit it before everyone had their systems patched?

everyone voluntarily chooses which software to run.

In things like operating systems heterogeneous software is often seen as a defence against bugs - but in this instance, wasn't it the differences between the 0.7 and 0.8 clients that triggered the split in the blockchain?

Surely the most secure thing is to be on the most widely used client?

Its probably worth noting that the first response is the following:

"As a developer for Adblock Plus I am looking forward to a resolution to this issue which indeed is a serious problem.

Here are our proposals on how to fix this security hole without compromising Adblock Plus and similar apps:
(A) Add an additional permission for apps that want to act as a proxy
and/or
(B) Add an API to Android that is similar to Gecko's nsIContentPolicy and Chromium's WebRequest (access to this API may require the permission mentioned in (A))"
Happy NewsBlur customer here. I do recommend the service to anyone needing a Reader replacement.
Anything of value on the end of an HTTP transaction has some centralization, such as bank accounts, Amazon.com, or other things that involve real money.
Not necessarily; @reederapp tweeted a few hours ago, "Don't worry, Reeder won't die with Google Reader."

He's not very communicative but I suspect this means he's working on something :)
What do they need my contacts for. Nop.
I think there's a cultural element.

Visual Studio, although apparently beloved, is just an IDE.

Look at the rise of consoles, look at this thread.

See the talk of there not being 'standards' on Linux and consider the biggest way the Linux community gets around that: Open Source codebases that rely on users who are also devs to help fix things up and get them working everywhere.

Linux isn't an ideal 'uniform consumption device', so it's not an appealing target. Now it's starting to get some love because people are looking around and asking 'What about freedom?'.
Amazon has effectively guaranteed it will stay that way for a while. Don't forget: Even early on, the Amazon Appstore was popular enough to force AT&T to stop blocking sideloading. It is only more popular today.
Russian secret service can tap into skype calls and chats
Nobody thought it that way... There are a lot of apps relying on google reader API, and now they have to change. I'm using it since day one.
My primary reason is version control. It's much easier to diff text files.
This was in January. Updates and patches are usually rolled out staggered, that is, not every device gets the update immediately. That helps in not overloading any servers and also helps in finding potential problems before every customer is affected. So I'd guess by now they should be all patched.
yep, guess ur right, but FEZ and Bastion are definitely made with XNA and in the case of Bastion the Linux/iOS Version uses MonoGame.
APL developer looking for job

I started using sails.js and I loved it. I'm new in node so I needed some starting point. Before that I was coding in php and used frameworks. I couldn't imagine working without one so I started to look into node frameworks. All of them have good sides and bad. But sails.js was the one which I loved from first sight. I don't know why but it looked so similar to php frameworks I used. It was very simple for me so I started working with it and contributing. Yeah this framework lacks some futures but it's only a time question when it gets better and better. Because I think this framework will become choice number 1 for starting coders. Good luck guys and nice job!
Please be humble, when you have the capability to down vote comments in the future and think of the humbleness from the HN Guidelines and this particular part: "When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names." (Albeit, you're not calling names - but threatening to down vote is a little bit uneasing.)

Thank you.
This is actually a great argument. I'm almost convinced. However, in the second example, wouldn't it be better to just have a .scrollbar-frame > .button with all the styles and then just do class="button up" and class="button down"?
If you like this layout you might also want to try out https://trackpanel.net

It lets you display RSS feeds (and bookmarks, tasks and notes) in a similar layout.

> If this guy wants to experiment on himself than I'm happy to reap the benefits, but I do believe it's risky.

What I'm wondering is is this any more risky than, let's say - eating at McDonalds instead of drinking this stuff?
did the same, also got a mismatch.

then I realized, that the hash in the txtfile is also longer than the md5 sum, and facepalmed a little. with 40 hexdigits long, makes 160 bits, so it's probably SHA1.

(crunch, crunch) ... and it matches. would've been nice if they'd mentioned which algorithm they used so I didn't have to digest a 2GB file twice. we can't be the only people that don't immediately eyeball the difference between a 32 and 40 digit random hex code :)
Kudos for moving on this quickly, here is my feedback.

When I clicked the OP link, I got a 'Sign up with Google Reader' link even though I have a logged-in Prismatic account already. After clicking through Google's authorize UI I received a 'Welcome to Prismatic' email so I think I might have created a dup account, but I can't tell. I would expect to be able to see my Twitter account and my Google Reader account in the same profile/settings page.

I expected a 'connect' UI like is used with OAuth on StackOverflow, alongside Twitter etc.

I think my Google Reader account will be a better source of data for Prismatic than my Twitter account. I would like to drill down to the explicit mapping inferred by Prismatic from generic 'Interest' to specific 'Feed' and be able to follow a feed ad hoc, bypassing the inference.
If you are not talking about subscription I could see that happening but there is not a way to do that right now.

The best way to do this would be a webservice where you can put some money and affiliates website can check if you are logged to that service and charge you trough that while not showing you any ads.

There are alot of thing to check:
- The user has to set an amount of money he is willing to pay per Day/Week/Month.
- Decide what to do when the cap is reached. Showing the ads, alert the user that they have reached their cap or both.
- Different websites can charge a very different sum per impression based on the scope, location,topic and number of ads in one page.

It's not an easy thing to do, with not an easy solution but It might be an interesting startup idea.
What too you so long?
For Google AdSense, paid per impression is only for specific publisher sites which can deliver targeted ads to a specific market group. With that in mind, which/how many bigger publishing sites websites are we talking about here?
I always thought that they would do this.

I suspect that they won't do this to the web store, as there is a fundamental principle in that a web client determines how to render something. That is... the client (browser) can choose to obey or ignore any markup it receives... the end user actually controls the rendering (sizing, fonts, contrast, which elements to display or hide).

But apps on an app store have no such principle. In fact the underlying assumption is that they are locked down and that the app author has that authority and not the end user.

With that in mind, I wondered how long it would take for AdBlockers on the Play Store that blocked adverts from loading in other apps would be tolerated by Google.

Personally I used to use AdAway ( https://code.google.com/p/ad-away/ || https://github.com/dschuermann/ad-away ) and you can see the hosts file they use here https://github.com/dschuermann/ad-away/blob/master/AdAway/sr... , but then I skipped even that step.

Now I just root my phone and replace the hosts file with the one found at:
http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/zero/

I wouldn't say that AdBlockers are all bad, one of AdAway's features is that you can load hosts lists to unblock domains that were removed from DNS in countries like China: https://smarthosts.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mobile_devices/h...

Edit: Although now I'm curious... have Google gone so far as to prevent people from loading something like AdAway from an untrusted .apk like the one AdAway host at https://f-droid.org/FDroid.apk ?
You define nature as activities that people perform most? By that reasoning the culture with the largest population is representative of typical human nature. That just seems wrong.

There are almost 2 billion Chinese. They love to eat chicken paws and cow intestines. So that is human's natural diet?

This a thousand times. I dumped my TV in 2006 and since I use AdBlock I don't see many ads - maybe when I go to the shops or at a friend's house. Thing is, I just don't have the urge to go and buy things any more. I've probably saved a fortune.
Using Multiple PHP Versions (PHP-FPM & FastCGI) With ISPConfig 3 (CentOS 6.3)
I didn't know that had any bearing on it but thinking about it seems like it would be a ranking factor. I'll fix that up soon and see if anything changes. Cheers.
I like that it actually shows the feeds and articles. So many of the other viewers out there including Prismatic seem obsessed with showing articles in rectangles as graphically as possible. 99% of the items I read are text with occasional complementary images.
If you're doing it purely for the money, then I'd probably say no. On the other hand if you think the degree will teach you something you want to know and help you get jobs you cannot currently get then go for it. Basically go because you think it will help you get a better job, not a better paying job.

In my experience, as someone who got his Masters after a few years of work experience I'd say that experience counts for a lot. At the job interviews I've been to after graduating I'd say it's been roughly 40/60 degree/experience that landed me the job.
I've heard Facebook is cheaper but haven't seen a comparison on effectiveness yet. We're actually about to try a Facebook campaign. Would love to hear what you're trying and whether it works.
Which you freely choose to do.

You exist in the market as it is, not as you wish it to be. If you can't find a way to make it pay (if that is your priority/a requirement) then you'll fail and someone else will try. If no one can think of a way to make it pay, then we'll lose such sites until someone can.

Which is fine. Better that than ads.

Good response. Honest and to the point.

'Pirate Bay' for 3D printing launched
This comment has nothing to do with Backbone but we tend to use the sugar syntax for defines:

define(function(require){
var whatever = require('dependency');
});

instead of

define([

], function(whatever) {
});

We do this because it's way more readable for files with numerous dependencies.

Also, we make Backbone, $ and _ globals so we don't have to inject them in every single module.
