"Common people" falling for that is a real problem with elementary school level education, far more than false advertising is. And arguing that it is a problem of neither makes one part of it (you didn't quite argue this but some people itt do).

(I was going to jokingly point out that the "best" diagonal length would be that of a thin one-pixel strip, equal to its width, but at least on HN we're all clever people and saw that coming a mile away)

Want to live on private yatch - get a job on a somebody else's yatch(and imagine you are living your dream). Want to change the world - become a scientist and hope you get work on your topic of interest( or make the work that you get your topic of interest).

Hey, you are a MD student from Germany as well + interested in Programming/SAAS? Any way to contact you?
Is yours a large or small app? Do you use streaming/piping/remote services?

Regarding bugs, there are too many to list, just see the tracker and spend some time browsing through them https://github.com/joyent/node/issues?direction=desc&pag... I'm fairly sure you can find pretty much anything.

I'm considering removing all the npm modules from my project and go raw, since most of the obscure bugs are in the ecosystem anyway.

Somehow I missed domains are also in 0.8, thanks!
Design = emotions + usability
While fine art is a subjective field, graphic design is more formulaic in its fundamentals. An effective design should make people feel a certain way and take a certain action. In this article I’d like to share Gravity Switch’s web design principles and our thinking behind them.
What really worries me looking at this design is sand getting into the propeller motors. These need to be open because of cooling requirements (multicopter motors will burn out very quickly if you run them without airflow from the propeller). In this design they are very close to the ground and likely getting sand/earth thrown inside them as it gets kicked up from the ground by tires or as it gets transported upwards by tires and then falls off into the motors.
On the other hand, it is not at all unreasonable to expect Dropbox to not sync 0-byte-files (if there was content in it before), which could also lead to the expectation that in those cases Dropbox would store an additional backup/send a message.

Is there any standard-compliant way to crash in C? A call to abort maybe?

Maybe the task should have been formulated as the shortest valid C program that invokes undefined behaviour instead. (Or maybe the task isn't very interesting either way.)
Competitive to what end? There is no hard limit on the amount of code that can be written. If I write something that is not great, it doesn't prevent you in any way from writing something amazing, so why concern yourself with what I am doing at all? In my experience, the only time I start to become critical of other programmers is when I feel insecure about my standing, like in the workplace, which is an environment that is fabricated by someone else (earlier referred to as "Bad Guys").

With that, I'm inclined to agree with the parent, though perhaps his use of Bad Guys does detract from the underlying message. I don't think there is some deep plot by born-evil people to keep programmers down, but I agree with the point that we could all do much better by working together in a positive way instead of trying to out-shame each other in hopes of capturing the top prize of impressing someone else.

hey I'm all for this project btw, and really not having to deal with preparing food a few times a day sounds ideal (I do love cooking, but I have a lot of other things on my plate (haha) recently).

one thing I simply do not understand is how this guy went from being a single dude experimenting with food replacements on himself, to expanding his team with five other people, and NONE of them has a background in nutrition, medicine or even biology. why?

sure you can figure out this stuff by reading up on it, looking things up, but someone who has studied even slightly related subjects for 6 years knows things that you don't even know you didn't know, or know you might want to look up something on a particular subject that you would never have considered. that's what education is useful for, crazy idea I know.

I'm not saying doing this with only technical computer and marketing people on your team is going to make you fail automatically, but he is definitely cutting himself short on some valuable knowledge and ideas.

You still need to update the base system.
I recommend Robert Kass' article "Statistical inference: the big picture" for a related point of view on that issue, which should be obvious but it's easily forgotten in practice.
Author here: I'm not using DropBox for backups. I have a relatively slow connection to do that. I'm using DropBox for files that I need to be available on different computers/tablets...

I'm not blaming DropBox for not keeping an unlimited history (it's obviously my fault), I just believe that they should have taken the Client bug more seriously.

Someone else appearantly had this issue: http://konklone.com/post/dropbox-bug-can-permanently-lose-yo...
We are using Node at https://starthq.com and I agree with most of the points above.

Error handling is the major issue, because you need to handle all errors manually, i.e. you can't use try catch to trap all errors further down the stack. If you don't handle all errors your Node process will terminate and you may lose some state. Even if you're confident in the stability of your code, I strongly advise that you use a watchdog process like supervisor to start a new process if the current one terminates.

We've handled this issue and kept business logic code simple by using https://github.com/olegp/common-node which uses fibers to present synchronous APIs, allowing us to use exceptions for error handling.

Be very careful when choosing third party packages, since if they don't handle all errors, again your process will terminate and there's nothing you're able to do about it, even if you're using fibers.

One last issue is changes to the core APIs. Since some of them are still in flux, it is advisable to provide an abstraction layer above them so as to be able to weather any changes. For example when streams2 came out, we only needed to upgrade Common Node, with no changes to the application itself.
The particular version of POSIX you linked to (2004) actually forbids the behavior you describe if you read it strictly. [1] defines a text file as "A file that contains characters organized into one or more lines.".

This was altered for 2008[2] to "A file that contains characters organized into zero or more lines."

The 2008 version is actually broken, since it contradicts itself -- a file cannot "contain characters" on zero lines.

I use SuperDuper! (http://www.shirt-pocket.com) to copy the SSD in my MBP to a disk image on an external hard drive once every day. The content of this hard drive is mirrored to another hard drive.

I also use Time Machine on yet another external hard drive, mostly for recovering individual files. And in case of fire, theft or some other sort of local accident, I have all my files stored with Backblaze (http://www.backblaze.com).

This backup-setup has yet to fail me. I had a chance to put it to the test last month, and a few hours after my computer initially refused to fully boot, it was up and running as if nothing had happened after restoring from the SuperDuper! backup.

Mostly left-handed here. It's the first time I've heard that most knives are designed for the right hand though. Scissors, yes, but not knives.
There are definitely going to be things that Node is slower for, and others that it excels at.. just like everything else. I would recommend anyone that is wondering about this to check out this great presentation given by Ryan Dahl, the creator of Node, in which it talks about the concurrency model, how it is acheived, and what the consequences of this are. The short story is that Node performs well under high concurrency and and IO bound workload with lots of small files. It is not going to excel so much for a computationally bounded or at serving huge files. It's always going to be about knowing which is the best technology for the job at hand.

Is this sarcasm, or are you truly expecting people to keep their only backups of critical documents on third-party servers?

Not to mention the time and difficulty of a multi-hundred-gigabyte full system restore at typical American internet speed/reliability.
If you read the article carefully, not only the Excel file is affected. Also, the files are synced from the CentOs machine.

No. If I'm doing something with a complex design I might sometimes do some rough work on paper, but that would be it.

I think the genius will instead lie in her plan for internal consolidation for the two platforms to converge in harmony as complementary.

Taken together the two most recent poaches (i.q. provided Hulu) have much crossover especially while accounting for further past acquisitions. Amalgamating successfully will position them as key content provider in the market.
Rejection of catholicism doesn't mean you think everything can be reduced to mere numbers. Nor does secular thinking mean that you consider everything can be measured by numbers. I would say that most secular people don't believe this, given that most secular people are simply areligious rather than STEM fans.
I'm inclined to agree that most, if not all, binaries are false, and like so I thought I was saying that "Content is King" is another way of saying, but from a different general perspective, "Design is Visual Statistics"; or at least this is my assertion. As unclear as it may be, I'm not sure it says that content and design have a split between them. At the same time, it's not exactly clear to me that you are not attacking a strawman.

- Content can be derivable, re-formatted, re-producible, summarized, re-usable.

- Design can be derivable, re-formattable, re-producible, summarizable, re-usable. (Skeumorphs are obviously noise and prevent us from seeing the inherent content-properties of design itself: like the concept of the "module" as a form of content developers find uniquely interesting. And such aesthetic gestures distract us from the content. Grid design, as one approach, entails less noise; however, incurs the problematic of suffocating content in terms of priority. Flat design designates that the design adapt to the content as a first principle, in some fashion. Whatever the case we are in the age where design is visual statistics. Over time, our designs are more indicative of the way our cognitive systems structure the world rather than the way we project our aesthetic values.)

In fact, I am saying that design and content are the same thing, and not that they are different things...

Only that which is king is worthy of summarization (the sign).

Karen Millen, Karen Millen Outlet,
It is possible to store SSH private keys in gpg-agent,
which uses the openpgp-s2k3-sha1-aes-cbc algo to encrypt the key for storage.

s2k3 is an iterated-and-salted s2k algorithm from RFC2440,
the protected private key format is:
https://gitorious.org/gnupg-org/gnupg/blobs/master/agent/key...

The number of iterations is at least 65536, whereas with pkcs8 openssl uses 2048 iterations by default.

More details on how to use SSH keys with GPG agent:

Stable enough? Sure, for a given definition of "enough".

The advantages to using Python instead of NodeJS are going to be less about stability and more about maintainability and ecosystem.
Catholicism has sin, shame, and guilt at its core. It's not 'focussed on something more positive' at all. Not to mention that Catholicism's upper echelons still believe in possession and exorcism - something which isn't going to particularly stop people who currently believe in 'black magic' - they'll just change the underlying story and still 'exorcise demons', but in their own way. Magic is still a significant tenet of Catholicism - transubstatiation is the very core of their doctrines. "Don't murder people because your black magic is not real, but this wafer and wine are literally flesh and blood"?

Buddhism would be a better religion for this, if you were to choose one. Buddhism's basic goal is to get people to be happy with their lot in life, instead of Catholicism's angle that we're all sinners and only a magic man can cure you.
Why do people always take a figure like this and assume a near linear distribution?

I do agree with the sentiment of your point though but I'd be interested to know what the parent handles at peak
Seriously? Many of the enterprise devs I know do make large individual contributions in their own (side) projects, or in smaller projects within the organization. Part of enterprise dev is that you are developing within a series of constraints, not least the thought in mind that there is likely to be someone maintaining this code in 10 years time, and it's unlikely to be the team building it today.

I would agree about the general outcome, though - enterprise software often is built _despite_ the politics between various departments and vendors, and much of the solution is as a result of compromise and integrating with "not quite suitable for current purpose" legacy systems. That is where a large amount of the cost goes. (It's also important to remember that what we're building today is also going to become the legacy system of tomorrow, and to include that thought in the design).
Right. But when a security vulnerability is announced for Apache, MySQL, Postfix, etc, I don't have to worry about it.
That's impressive, but I would honestly suggest you block out something - maybe a holiday to a beach, and aim to release and have customer feedback before you feel sand between your toes - even 12 mths can fly past with no real customers to keep you on the straight and narrow

Oh, and remember - life != other plans.

People have been doing that with 100K a year -- and much less.

>I want to make money so I can help people. To be able to invest in things which might cure diseases, solve hunger, produce cleaner cheaper energy. Things which might have an opportunity to drive humanity forward.
I want to make money so that I can change the world. Not in the superficial way that people think you mean when you say that, but in real ways; in ways that create true value for humanity. Things that might drive us closer to a star-trek-esque free-energy economy.

Those sound like very peripheral things people want to make money for... Perhaps you mean it, but in most cases those are Miss USA style BS.

What?
It isn't hard to find out which libraries are maintained and which ones aren't. Maintained libraries are of fairly good quality. This isn't very different from other languages, except that there is significantly more activity around node.

Promises not being in core is a good thing. Eventually many of those use cases will switch to using ES6 generators.

If you want to scale node, you would use multiple processes.

Your DNS example is a corner case. There are discussions around it, and such issues impact all frameworks.

As for security issues, unscalable, unmaintainable etc, those are too generic in nature to comment. I can say this though; node is in production at some of the largest companies in the world and they are talking about it too.
> a file cannot "contain characters" on zero lines.

I disagree. To me this doesn't mean that a file "contains at least one character", but that files are containers and their contained values are characters. Like most containers in computer science, the set of contained values can be empty, but it's still meaningful to say that it's a container that "contains characters".
Seems interesting, I've always appreciated the simplicity of a Jekyll-type approach.

Apologies for semi-hijacking to mention it but, I take a slightly different approach in my personal blog (custom, messy code) - I rsync markdown documents to my webserver which are compiled into HTML and put into a redis in-memory collection which the server uses to render the blog. That gives you in-memory caching for free and avoids having a whole bunch of static files having to be generated every time. I use node on the backend and angular on the frontend to allow for a single-page website.

Currently the solution involves regenerating all HTML each time files are rsync by a script run remotely via SSH, however I ultimately intend for it to use an inotify-style approach to only import files that have actually changed, running both locally and remotely, so publishing an article need only require you to write some markdown and save it in a particular folder.

Though of course all this (currently) requires you to have a server such as linode to which you can rsync + have a remote serving script watch a folder, I mention it so to ask whether anybody would be interested in me cleaning it up and open sourcing it?
I'm in favor of furthering online education, moocs, educational content in general and even certification programs along these lines.

But I also have to ask: If this degree costs 20% of a traditional Master's education, is it even worth 20% as much? The degree clearly states "Online Master".

We might see a value developing here, but there is an equal chance that the early students get ripped off big time. They might learn a lot, but are they really getting their money's worth in additional skill marketability?
"People can get used to different formats quite easily, but time spent arguing about and maintaining formats can never be recovered" This is nevertheless what this whole discussion is about :-) e.g. should one list those ifs straight like that, or use &&, etc.

"Also, your formatter looks pretty brain-dead", it is, alas, what Eclipse does, and that's pretty standard in the Java world, and it's also pretty standard to use its code formatter alas.
flat design === big fad that everybody hate already.
> Definitely the situation is much better than in 2001

It is also better than in 2001 in Peru, Chile, Brazil, Uruguay and even Colombia. Those countries have had more than 5% economic growth, little inflation and with no crazy socialist policies. Also, Argentina was rock bottom in 2001 so they could only go up from there. Anyway, I totally sympathize with your situation. Tienes que ser fuerte y si las cosas se vuelven peor, largate de ahi, no hay porque sentirse culpable. Uruguay tiene playas bonitas :)
As an Australian gazing across the pond, it's weird to see what the fuss is about.

My alma mater (UWA) has a Master of Professional Engineering degree which I can complete for $15k AUD (and since they guarantee entry to their BCompSci grads, I'm considering it). Sydney Uni have a Master of Project Management that I costed at 20k AUD (edit: I was quite wrong, it's closer to 45k).

And the FEE-HELP program means that, if I chose, I could do it without paying up front.

Public higher education is a mess in many ways. But sometimes, boy, I really do live in the lucky country.
You'd have to have a reasonable expectation that the additional competitiveness is worth the cost in living standards. There is no strong evidence that their own currency would help them enough to offset the problems they face after exiting the Euro.
In Europe school actually cost this much (average), with campus and classroom. Maybe, the question is asked the wrong way in this article.
Why does education cost student 50000$ a year in US?

We're going to wind up splitting fine hairs, but here goes:

Having to worry about updating because of security defects is the same as ... having to worry about updating because of security defects.

Reducing the attack surface still leaves an attack surface, is my point. You can't just "forget about it", your server can still be subverted to unpleasant ends.
I used to have an idea which is similar to this project. With BT network, we can exchange the database or part of the database between nodes. So the IP address will not be the personal ID anymore, everyone could register an ID for the service.
The video doesn't show, how it will turn in air? It seems that it only moves to left and right, doesn't turn to left or right.
