Thanks for sharing and a really good overview of what you did during the hackathon.
Cool - I like it... Fresh start lol
Note that browsers like Chrome and Firefox aren't allowed on Windows RT. Browsers for Windows RT can use IE's rendering and JS engine, but other existing engines won't work within the restricted "Windows Store app" environment.

Windows 8 has a special exception to these restrictions. This exception is available only to the app you choose as your default web browser, to prevent other apps from using it. And it's available only on Windows 8 for x86 hardware, since Microsoft claims that's sufficient to satisfy the terms of their 2001 anti-trust settlement with the US DOJ.
Firstly, I'm not just a Linux user. Like you, I'm a developer too. Given the demographic of this forum, it would pay for you not to assume that you're the only one on here that works in the industry (in fact I even hinted at that when I said I use Linux at work - but never mind)

Secondly, I was making a general comment about peoples desktops rather than talking specifically about your example (given the lack of details you posted, it would be insane of me to assume I could diagnose your fault with any precision). My point was that generally when people think their computer has locked up / X has crashed, it's actually one of the items I mentioned earlier that's at fault.

The snappy reply was appreciated though </sarcasm>. But given just how unusual your circumstances are (assuming what you said is true) and how much you seem to hate it when others discuss these topics with you; it might be an idea if you clarify your position a little better the next time such a topic arises. Like maybe saying "my crashes aren't typical because I'm a kernel developer, but.....". This way people don't accidentally post something that hits one of those raw nerves you have and it saves us all from a lot of unnecessary condescension.

Cool it with your anti-"techie" ranting. I don't think I've ever met anybody that pirates as many movies as just about any film student. Literally terabytes of movies, before terabytes or multi-GB HD movies were cool. "Forever minus a day" copyright terms hurt artists too.
I doubt it was an accident, it's trivial to delete a repo on GitHub. I think they wanted their involvement (git commit history) removed from the primary repo.
We don't have a 1-800 number setup yet. AT&T's business division (the only phone company that has working cell phone towers locally that has business cell plans; Verizon, Sprint don't) seems to not want to do businesses with single owner LLCs.

I work on a large web application that sits currently at 50k lines of CoffeeScript and spans 10+ feature branches at all time.

No, it does not scale. Especially true when the project also spans that many branches. Everyone merging up and down the branches. You get to have backend people merging frontend codes without much problem because it's all dynamic. Then you found out it was a bad merge in production because CoffeeScript doesn't care.

The fact that CoffeeScript makes braces optional causes a lot of problem because when it fails, it fails silently. Bad merge happens, but you'll want it to fail loudly when it does happens.

Out of Dart, TypeScript and CoffeeScript, I recommend TypeScript for large scale projects. Dart is good if you have a lot of man power to build in house components, but it has a very closed ecosystem that does not play well with other JavaScript libraries.

Google Glass Broke Up Founder Sergey Brin's Marriage
The first thing I did after getting Windows 8/8.1 on my new laptop was to install StartIsBack and disable all the Metro/Modern UI stuff. I find it very annoying (especially in a non-touch environment).

>Nobody is interested in less federal funding unless it also means lower federal taxes.

Except for the crazy Republicans (governors mostly) who voted not to accept federal dollars for public transit funding or who voted not to expand Medicare coverage "Because its part of Obamacare and thats bad!" The Federal government would have paid for it?!?!
Meta comment: That is how titles should be on HN. Metro or Update on Metro would not tell us much, but with a short description in [brackets] it's much more relevant.
What do you think about campaign finance reform? Have you ever thought of any reasonable way to tackle that, given that the most powerful senators/representatives who could put this together typically have the best fundraising engines and probably want to maintain that advantage against upstarts?

It seems like fixing this is a prerequisite to fixing many other broken aspects of the govt.

To quote Captain Renault "I'm shocked..."
There are all sorts of laws on the books that we've agreed are idiotic and are no longer enforced. It's up to the executive to determine which those ones are, and, as time progresses, some laws become so outdated that no rational minded person would ever think of enforcing them.

What if the law had suggested that Office and Automotive equipment could not be sold directly (perhaps harkening back to a time when the Large Automotive and Office Equipment resellers had built up their distributorship); are you seriously suggesting that means Apple Stores should have been shut down in New Jersey?

I think people are underestimating this badly indeed. A lot of people are making comparisons with the coming of the car or the train or the calculator but this is very different as the people who are getting replaced now cannot really move to anything which is not replaced by computers. I think Gates is underestimating it as well; I think lawyers, MDs and a lot of specialists etc are also out. Not all but all the low flyers who are already quite easy replacable and have only some laws to protect them.

Don't like doom scenario's because too many people have them but as a tech guy I don't really see a future without billions unemployed. That does not have to be a problem but we have a long way to go so it kind of depends on what happens first.

Credentials and Education != talent and ability

I'm judging Lady Gaga based on brief fragments of recent songs I heard. Of course she may be pulling a "Jay Leno", using talent to produce the mediocre garbage that the mainstream media likes to promote.

Also, I DON'T use Facebook and Twitter. I never saw the point. Also, you're an IDIOT to build a web presence on Facebook, because then Facebook controls your ability to interact with your audience. Better to have your own site where your audience follows you directly and you control it 100%.
You should have said: "the steakholders are left with no cow at all."
It seems a bit disingenuous to advertise "RAID 1" on the main page, when it's only software RAID. If I want software RAID, I'll install it myself. Advertising RAID implies (to me, at least), that there's a hardware RAID card in the box.

Also, you claim to have "a state of the art Denial of Service (DoS) mitigation system", but don't provide any details as to what it is. Is it Arbor TMS or something along those lines?

It'd also be good to detail what, if any, remote management options are available (IPMI?).

A better way to put this is to say that Godaddy is a great company from an investor standpoint - but a terrible company from a user standpoint.
> Not going to happen. The television/media industry is addicted to the ad rates you get from traditional television, and have to put many more ads into online content to receive the same revenue

I know there's a reason (traditional ad rates, etc.) - but I don't understand the disparity between online and television advertising rates.

If anything online advertising would seem to be significantly more powerful since you can build customized profiles about the viewers (vs. only having a Nielsen chips in every so many households) and broad TV show audiences.

This actually looks like as much if not more work to set up than Ansible. As soon as you start talking about required directory hierarchies, you've lost the "just f###### do it" feel. Then I still have to write a special YAML file, and then my scripts.

The Ansible setup for my personal server started as two files: an inventory file consisting of an ip address, and site.yml. My ignorance (and some installation issues) notwithstanding, it has scaled pretty smoothly from there to copying up config files, templated nginx config, and so on. I don't see much room for anything between that and a literal "just f###### shell script".
I love it - we got into a dialogue at work today with OPs and Eng on what to use for config mgmt (of our app)... and then this hit HN today...

I think you may have misunderstood my comment, they're only political opponents in the sense that Musk wants to rally Christie's constituents to push back on this decision, and the battle is over public policy. Of course Musk isn't running.

Christie has a lot more to lose by his constituents seeing a bad trend in Christie's record than Musk has by any personal character attacks Christie could send back his way. Musk's job certainly isn't in any danger from bad things coming out about him in NJ.
Not everyone lives in the USA ;) I don't know, but it could very well be that there are precedents in their home country Argentina supporting the 'legal' conclusion.
Do you find that being a dick generally makes you more persuasive? Because it isn't working for me here.

Google Reader was well known within Google as an orphan project for a long time. Years before they shut it I was chatting with some Googler and Reader game up. He mentioned how impressive it was that it was still alive given how starved for resources it had been. I think he said that it was just one guy. And here's Reader's creator in 2011 acknowledging it was understaffed: http://massless.org/?p=174

So yes, they should have shut it down way sooner rather than starving it. That was irresponsible both internally (because it's a management failure) and externally (because they were harming a market that they weren't serious about).
I don't know about the timelines in the US, but I do know that here in Australia, cable TV initially had one major thing going for it: you didn't get ads during a show. You'd get ads between shows to round out the minutes, and usually not for commercial products, but not during the show.

It didn't take long for them to stop that practice, which perplexed me - what was the point in getting a basic cable TV package then? You directly pay them and they still cram just as many ads into the timeslots?

> Find anywhere the developer has used an "Eval" and exploit it.

Don't use eval. Just about every node.js dev knows that. If you have a developer using eval, they better have a damn good reason to do so. I can't think of any, unless you have some sort of web repl. But then, I doubt enterprise apps will have a requirement for a repl that allows arbitrary code to be executed on the server.

As the OP stated, there is a higher concentration of "good developers" with node. If someone programs in such a way, they probably should be fired.

I wouldn't advise other people doing this as the filesystem can get seriously broken under certain circumstances.

For example, on a Linux laptop with the hard-drive encrypted with dm-crypt, I simply lost access to my drive due to repeated hard reboots. I don't know if I could have recovered my data from it or not, but after repeated attempts of googling for the error message and following advice I simply gave up and later reinstalled everything from scratch (it's a good thing I constantly make backups ;-)).

On Linux REISUB has been my friend.

Ultimately the problem is not who has the power, it's the lack of due process. So much of the modern world is online and so much of online activity is considered to be unprotected. A priviledge contingent on the acquiescence of hundreds of different powers from celebrities to media companies to governments. In practice it's nothing less than a new type of aristocracy or a new class system. It's definitely a massive erosion of individual rights, especially to free expression.
This fills me with great joy and sadness.
Post it on HN.
It's not necessarily true that a boss is going to take credit for your idea. The best managers pass credit for success down completely and block criticism by taking responsibility for errors. Certainly, many bosses don't act this way, but the good ones do.

This just got reposted on the NPR site, it's highly relevant and timely along with this law and Elon's response:

http://pcasts.in/9Ruq?

In it, some argue that "A no haggle, painless car buying experience will eventually come; but it won't be without your local dealers"

I wouldn't be so sure. As Elon states, the fundamentals of the industry haven't changed in quite a while. He's approaching it from one direction (The cars/manufacturing and sale of new cars), and others (like myself and partners) are going directly after the used car Buying/Selling process. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for Sellers/Buyers to transact. Check us out here:

My favorite is you run the browser on a different machine and you place a webcam near it that you can visit on your primary machine. Sending keystrokes and mouse moves to the browser machine using an infrared laser to create a unidirectional serial link to the machine.

>Skeevy, pandering advertising

Agree with you on that, you have to jump though a bunch of product options before you finally see you cart.

>Skeevy, pandering CEO

Also agree with you on that especially the elephant and SOPA issue.

>Bad behavior when it comes to transfers.

Nope I have transferred over so many domains with absolutely no issues. Unlock, get your transfer code, give it to the next registrar and done.

>A checkout workflow that makes it very hard to avoid adding extra things to your cart that you probably don't want.

Disagree even though you have a ton of things offered, none of them are check by default, hit next > next > next and you are at the cart. Its a smooth checkout after that.

> Shoot first, ask questions later attitude to third party complaints

Disagree, even Namecheap has a list of blacklisted keywords that if your domain matches, cannot be transferred over or registered without the help of CS. Gandi has the a weirder TOS that can says they can pull your domain for any reason. Lavabit's or other major domains were located with Godaddy and it was never pulled. So Godaddy is on par with other domain registrations when it comes to complaints.

>Unintuitive, badly designed, and confusing management tools.

Agree but I haven't found better ones elsewhere either.

>Weak, script-bound CS

I had the opportunity to contact them multiple time in the past and they have been helpful and able to resolve the issue.

>Network Solutions seems positively angelic by comparison.
Then you have never had any experience with NetSol.
They are most shadiest registrar in history.
It doesn't, and you know that.

Late response here, but you are correct that paypal always takes a fee for commercial transactions disclosed to paypal. Their argument would probably be that they require commercial transactions to have fraud protection. That said, there are areas where very small businesses use fee-free Paypal for commercial payments by disguising them as personal payments. (Used camera gear is where I've personally seen it)

How do I get people to do stuff? How do I get people to help make my idea a reality if my idea requires a lot of help to get done?

Please, no solutions that involve any fakery, theft, lying, or other immoral acts.

@briantakita Node doesn't have a higher concentration of "good developers" that's easy to tell. "Good Developers" flock to research projects, and advancing the art. There isn't a single Node.JS project that is leading the industry in a field. Python, Lisp, Java, all have Language, AI, and Physics projects that are shaping science and advancing humanity, what does Node have?
Also a quick Ego Search of yourself would tell pretty quickly where you rank on the "good developer list". I wouldn't normally "bash" a person for their arguments, but when you say the developers make node good and then I search your name to find out if you are totally awesome, RipOff Report doesn't inspire confidence.
Perhaps your correction is valid, but your scoffing at windows (touch) users is very short-sighted. There is no mobile browser that lives up to the promise of a properly optimised full Firefox on windows. Frankly, I would say IE on metro is already better than any of them.
