Lifetime member. It’s a great community and really great having a network of people to meetup with while travelling. There’s often impromptu meetups organized on there in the popular nomad destinations like Bali or Chiang Mai. I’ve met a bu

Several centuries of linguistic evolution would disagree. Those have always been neutral, though there has been usage of singular "they" dating back to Shakespearean-era. It is somewhat widely accepted that he/him/his is

A signed CLA may seem silly, but there were changes in code comments. That makes code ownership ambiguous, and the law doesn't tend to play nice with ambiguity.

More importantly, a quarter of the world speaks grammatically-gendered languages. Many languages have no concept of gender-neutral pronouns.

The contributor also had not signed a CLA, and the commit message did not follow the guidelines. Ben should have been more explicit in his initial post about his reason for denying the commit. Isaac shouldn't have merged the pull, whic

It's difficult to escape that sort of situation, but it doesn't get easier. It gets harder, and faster-paced. And that's a good thing. Adversity is a force that not only pushes us back when we feel fear, but also pushes us fo

That's what semantic versioning is for. Node modules should continue to move forward, and reinvent themselves to improve how we write our apps. Otherwise it'll just turn into another PHP.

Have a look at node.native. It's just libuv and c++11, which behaves pretty much the same as node. But much lighter, and with no Javascript engine tacked on. Obviously not nearly as stable and supported, but it's an example of how

Node is not really tied to Joyent. Actually, a good amount of the core team is at StrongLoop. Joyent has basically got it as far as they needed it to get for their own uses. Now they are just sitting on it and keeping it stable while lettin

It was easier until we discovered even cleaner ways, and most of the Javascript community began to adopt them. But node chose to stick to the "old" ways. (Not really old, but not as shiny and new as the alternatives) I feel like p

I couldn't even afford to get INTO university. By 18, I had to pay $1000/month rent or get kicked out. My family had NO money saved to help with college. I wasn't eligible for any scholarships I could find. The city I was in

I'm a Javascript user. The list of things I'd change is enormous. A few of the biggest things though, is making better object looping; it's annoying having to check each property to see if it's on the object itself or it's prototype. It'd a

Yes, but NaCl provides direct access to GPU interface libraries. You can code for OpenGL directly, rather than running your graphics code through several layers of abstraction, slowing it down exponentially along the way. There is, to some

The moment a programmer thinks they know the ultimate solution to a problem is the moment they understand the problem the least. No, templating is not perfect. Nothing a programmer does is perfect. Our job, as programmers, is to make stuff

Emscripten is not a viable alternative. The Javascript it generates is too slow for performance intensive things, which is the whole point of NaCl. Flash is too unstable.

It's no coincidence that most of the companies on that list sell mediocre software for way more than it's worth. They rob us with their high prices, yet they throw a tantrum when we rob them back. Make your software suck less and maybe I'll

Use tools to organize, not people. That's what todo lists and such are for.

It actually doesn't get anything but public info, which you can see in the permissions request page on Facebook. All it does is grab your name, profile photo and url. It doesn't even store anything in a database--it's all in-memory at the m
