This is what has me excited, too (although unfortunately we're still looking at a likely 6-8 years before relevant targets will support it too...).

This is truly incredible. I've spent the last 4 years neck deep in live video broadcasting solutions for consumer, commercial, and government use cases, and this just blew my mind.

Yeah, I think the latest and greatest in web standards for solving this problem would probably be using a Service Worker to transparently handle the failure and serve up a fallback... but like you said, that's a JavaScript-based soluti

Surprised by all the vitriol in this thread. Defold looks awesome. Maybe I just haven't tracked King closely enough in the past to have developed the community knee jerk reaction here, but this seems like a cool move.

I don't know if I would consider that a "default assumption", so much as being willing, in the absence of hard empirical data, to put some credibility into the glut of anecdotal evidence.

A prime example of handjamming inconsequential happenings into a good/bad/ugly blogpost format. If this is what counts as "the ugly", they're doing pretty dang good.

That's an interesting assessment. I've actually been generally impressed with it. Loads fast, seems to be pretty intelligent about caching profile images and the like, and is generally pretty responsive (on a Galaxy S5). It is p

There was a load error when I first clicked the link, resulting in a blank page. Was thinking "well played, punk".

So far I gather that the expressjs.com domain, the GitHub repo, and the npm module were transferred to StrongLoop's control. I don't believe that Express is actually trademarked (and likely isn't trademarkable at all, being

Some additional info: Note: I previously posted this to the wrong category and was advised to post here instead. Stre.am is a free app for broadcasting live video from your phone, with an emphasis on simplicity. We previously launched th

Thanks, didn't realize when I posted it that urls aren't linkified in submission text.

There are a lot of comments about EC2's pricing competitiveness with dedicated hardware. These are fair discussions and should be had, but I figure it's worth commenting that EC2 (and AWS in general) is about much more than cheap

This feels somewhat disingenuous. Naturally a site making it's money off of ads is going to give them an above-the-fold and prominent position. Just scroll down... the value add is in the qualify of the organic results (which is still

Just a few points: 1) If traffic is low enough, you can fit 100+ different apps on 8GB of RAM, regardless of tech. 2) Hourly backups are better than nothing, but not good enough if you want to make claims of durability and/or high avai

The specification has already reached "draft", so it's usually pretty stable at that point. Firefox has actually included generators for awhile now ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guid... ), but their implementati

I think his point and yours are both fair enough. At the end of the day though, whether it's $2, £2, or £2k, it's really just a matter of ROI. The latte comparison is somewhat easy: most people like it, and it's (relatively) cheap. The ar

So ya, I pretty much have to agree with everything you said. Salts have negligible impact on brute-forcing an individual password, but at least slow down the cracking of an entire database of passwords (as in the arstechnica article). I w
