If we're lucky this will turn into the 'unstable branch' with new features and things which is periodically folded back into the 'stable' node.js platform.

...but if node wont play ball, it'll become 'the new node', yes.

I've been a Namecheap customer for years and a GD user since the early beta. For my purposes, the only real advantage of GD is the free WHOIS privacy with every registration. I have many domains and this adds up significantly. I will probably move over at next renewal, simply to save money.
It's fascinating to see the rhetoric focussing on mobile transactions being the main driver of demand. While it's certainly huge, there are still a lot of other uses.
Yes I would agree. There is reading as in opening the link and thinking what the hell, glad I don't have to code in assembler. (What I did).

Then there is reading as in opening the link, examining the code, deeply understanding it, then going off and writing your own one 'from scratch'.

There's probably a better way that doesn't rely on them, I think.
They didn't drop semantic versioning (assuming you're talking about http://semver.org/), they're switching to it (see https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/28).

Node.js uses MINOR even = stable, odd = unstable (which is not semver) and is still in 0.x even though it's been used by giants in production all over the world for a couple years.
literally every device used by consumers today can be traced back to IBM.

To some extent, Yelp and similar sites fill this role. There are a couple of problems with this.

1. It's fairly simple to post a fake review.

2. Yelp has been accused of what amounts to blackmail by offering to hide bad reviews if businesses buy advertising on Yelp.

3. It's not rocket science to see how 1 & 2 could team up

4. There is no objective standard for a good or bad review, so how do you accurately quantify the aggregate? If the restaurant was out of the dish the reviewer wanted because it was a half hour before closing on a busy night, that one star review carries the same weight as someone who legitimately had terrible service, cold food, and got food poisoning.

This amounts to Yelp being nothing more than the yellow pages, in my opinion. I don't see how this would change for other services.

That's a fairly content free release as these come. Nothing about the actual architecture, clearly aimed at managers rather than techies, IBM does enterprise sales very well. But of course I'm more interested in the nitty gritty details (though I'll likely never be in a position to pull the trigger on a purchase like this). Funny how Linux is mentioned in the press release, and other platforms don't even rate a mention.

Honest question, do you have good luck with semantic versioning? I find it's pretty hit or miss on whether an X.Y.2 patch breaks functionality in the previous X.Y.1 build.

It's a playful way to say they don't really want to fork the Node.js ecosystem. io.js will evolve alongside Node.js and the core team is open to merging back with Node.js if possible.
There is a lot to this, and outside my usual interests, so I've just glanced over it to see if I want to dig deeper -- and it's really interesting, and I'm enjoying it a lot. However, it's a real pain to get text out to post a few quote. So here's my favorite so far:

"A household is a business given over to caring for small, temporarily insane people, a business subject to cash-flow problems, endless legal harassments, run by people who expect to have sex with each other, who occupy the same space, and who go nuts when either party has sex with anyone else. Once in marriage, a lot of people try to get out as fast as religious tradition, poverty, or devotion to children permits."

I know, not exactly the most representative of the text - there is much more discussion of science and social issues. But hat particular paragraph is kind of striking.
Heroku has pretty good node support, but I'd doubt they support replacing the binary yet, so you'd have to wait for Heroku to support that.

For manual deployment, the single iojs binary and your project folder should suffice, along with a way to start/restart your app automatically.

I wonder how many kids got their start with computers because of friendly RS employees.

Thank you Gidon & Gert Jan, wherever you are.
When I discuss 'Policies and Procedures' (including but not limited to tech like the OP's Amazon example) I often refer to "Plug and Play" staff [1]. If, for any reason, an employee leaves a position then the business is able to replace them with minimum fuss. The more the role can depend on technology, the more 'true' this is, but it needn't be seen as tech-specific.

Staff of course have a different view as to their "fungibility". I tend to overcome this in two ways:

First, "If you can't be replaced then you can't be promoted." That resonates a lot.

Second, I replace the 'Bus Factor'[2] context with the 'Lottery Factor'. More directly, "How many of you, if you won $35M in Powerball, would still be working here next year? So let's plan for at least one of you to win the lottery."

(They're not bad at maths, they get that it's the same conversation as being hit by a bus, but the energetic flip leads to faster engagement in the process.)

Very true..

Unlike normal mutations genetic modifications can change a lot of things at the same time and are often focused around biologically active chemicals. That's not to say that GMO foods are unsafe just that new modification are far from risk free and should have stringent review before using them to feed 100+ million people. If for no other reason than they can produce a lot of a completely unknown and unresearched chemical.

Yes, I've watched some of the io.js minutes on YouTube and they basically reached a consensus that this was definitely necessary. They want to be a drop in replacement for Node.js.
Even though he stopped being part of core, he has remained active in Node.js development. It's part of his job at StrongLoop I suppose. A fresh start with an open governance model at least should mean that most politics are set aside.
Well, off the top of my head, and unlikely to be the only association..

IBM licensed the 286 for the IBM PC/AT. Acorn wanted to use the 286 for the Archimedes, but Intel would not allow licensing. This forced Acorn to create their own processor, resulting in the first RISC based consumer PC.

Perhaps that snowballs into our current tech environment.
Early employees of a startup are in a rotten deal. They took slightly less risk than the founders, similar pay cut, but with order of magnitude less equity, and with more work in designing and building the product, running operation, doing marketing, and selling to customers. When the company goes under, their loss is the same as the founders. When the company does well and scales up, their positions and roles will be diminished substantially, and their equity would be diluted again and again with each round (later grant is often not at the same scale as the initial option grant).

Early employees are basically jack-of-all-trade doing essentially the same job as the founders (minus the fund raising) in building up the company but with much less of the upside. If you could, be the founder. Don't be the early employee.
I think that police get lots of overtime in addition to the basic salary, and there are often perks, like extra pay for motorcycle cops to clean and polish their motorcycles, etc...
I've heard from a few people that they've been selected for featuring during the approval process. I haven't been able to verify that, but it sounded plausible.

The only method that I'm aware of that Apple gives for promotion is to contact them at appstorepromotion@apple.com. I've never gotten a reply from them, not sure if anyone else has, but that's the official address.

Another method that seems effective is networking with important people at Apple. I know of at least two instances of apps being featured based off of knowing the right people at Apple, but I'm not sure the best way to find those people or to get their attention.
Never mind this specific release - you never hear about other platforms on System Z period. Linux got a s/390 port quite early on, and SUSE and Red Hat both support it, but no, Windows, Mac, BSD, etc. are unheard of in this world. You can mess with Fedora / Debian images for that architecture on your desktop using Hercules.
Not to mention the fact that many police officers don't live in the communities they, er, police (I can't bring myself to use the word 'serve' any more in relation to the police :-( ).

An ex-cop I know justified this on the basis that you don't want people who would probably have a grudge against you to know where you live, which would be reasonable enough if police didn't have so many other protections in place. I don't think his attitude is universal, but there is clearly a significant cohort of police officers who are fully engaged in a 'race to the bottom' and consider themselves the rightful beneficiaries of a secular antinomianism.

Yes. I refer to the Amazon warehouse operation as "Machines should think. People should work". All the thinking is done by computers and robots. Watch one of the Kiva robot videos that shows the human picker reaching where the laser pointer tells them to reach, waving the item under the scanner, and putting the object in the bin where the light is on.

Those people will be unemployed as soon as the Amazon Robot Picking Challenge (http://amazonpickingchallenge.org/) succeeds.

America isn't the problem, Americans are. Everyone who voted for this is to blame. From what I understand you can even vote for some of the local judges or prosecutors too! There's no excuse but to recognize that your neighbors are responsible for the problems due to their own selfishness. They want the police to be brutal because the drug raid isn't going to be on their home, it'll be on some poor person's home and they don't care about poor people.

This might sound harsh, but it's what most American voters do. That's why they continually vote for police violence. If they don't understand the consequences of their vote then they're as negligent as the policeman who doesn't understand the consequences of throwing a flashbang into a bedroom.

If I were them, I'd say something like:

"io.js is an api-compatible alternative to the node.js runtime, including support for the npm ecosystem, that aims to release faster than the node.js release cycle and move according to a community-driven open governance model."

Given the tremendous volume of packages released to npm, the current one-liner initially just doesn't convey much information. In context of the comments here, it all parses perfectly, but I was one of many who needed this context to understand the (apparent) goals of the project.
> There's a huge sense of entitlement with respect to iOS and Android apps. People want the world for free...

Available substitutes affect the price of goods, and the internet has brought us endless hours of free distraction. (Also, prices can trend towards the marginal cost of production over time.)

Supply and demand determine pricing, not the amount of labor that goes into production.

The labor theory of value is tempting, but flawed. Suppose I pedal a bicycle all day to generate electricity. Then say I demand you buy my day's single kilowatt at a price that provides me a living wage. Keep in mind that I live in California, a mecca for startup bicyclists, and support a family of four. So I'll be asking $177 per kilowatt. You decline, noting that you can usually buy a kilowatt for around 16 cents. Is it fair for me to call you "entitled" because you expect energy at market prices?

If game developers demand that consumers pretend other ways to spend time don't exist, or claim immunity to fundamental laws of economics, then they're the ones acting entitled, not their users.

I suspect there will be a split in the npm ecosystem now, not so much along node/iojs lines but along es5/es6 lines. There's already been lots of discussion about whether module builders should publish es6 code, or should everything be transpiled down to es5 code in order to keep the ecosystem unified (the unspoken caveat being, around es5).

I think es5 is a dinosaur as of today, so I say go ahead and publish es6 code, and if you want to be nice to es5 people then add a prepublish transpiler that makes something like this possible:

// es6 people can do
var foo = require('foo');

// es5 people can do
var foo = require('foo/es5');

eh.. sorta.[0].

IBM had significant stake in Intel during the time period we're talking about, and that whole period was filled with anti-trust talk, which turned into actual anti-trust fire a few years later in the 90s.

I may not have been blunt enough in my other comment, but I was alluding to the idea that IBM and Intel may have been involved in anti-competitive behavior against Acorn, which caused them to innovate in such a way that created the systems we enjoy today (modern mobile). The idea that the pressures on the company spawned innovation.

I'd never in a lifetime want to depend for something as critical as domain registrations on a company that can't be bothered to answer its customers.
