Good! If you are wondering what this looks like in practice, I booked 3 flights this year with Ryanair and EVERY single time my tickets (directly purchased from their site) were flagged as "made through a third-party travel agent"

I wrote one of these for fun a while back using the following approach: - Files are indexed by inode and device, files with the same inode + device are considered equal. (My main use case for this was to bundle up JS files.) - Files are the

Indeed, but ultimately covering all of those topics would require an incredible amount of time and effort. So I need to pick and choose my battles as some topics are more important or interesting to me than others. :)

Thanks for your kind words. There are definitely some cases where the topics could be reordered for greater clarity and I'll revisit them in the next iteration of the book based on the things people have pointed out (again, after a hia

Any chance you could be more specific as to what you feel is missing in the book? Granted, "distributed systems" is a enormous topic that no book can cover fully, but I have tried to cover things like: - key papers (Lamport; Fisch

If you find the book helpful - great! I'm glad. I can definitely see a lot of faults in my own work but I don't have infinite time to fix them, which is why the book is on Github ( https://github.com/mixu/singlepageappbook ). There are th

If you can get away with storing your data in the DOM, then go ahead. But this technique is mostly applicable to low-interactivity views (see the view layer overview chapter) - once you start displaying the same data in multiple locations,

A VM is for most purposes identical to a dual boot setup, except for the part where you have hardware incompatibility issues and/or break your system. If you want, you can ignore the option of going back to a snapshot and stay in hardcore m

My tip would be to get VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation, and run your choice of Linux on it in fullscreen. There are two things that are annoying when learning Linux: 1) dealing with hardware issues 2) dealing with updates that break stuff

You're right, I should've said "emulate blocking by checking that all of the tasks we queued have completed upon finishing a task before proceeding while allowing the event loop to run" instead of "blocking". It's not really blocking the ev

This is really old - discussion from 6 months ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2848239 Basically, async I/O gives you more options than "block the whole world while you go read this stuff", and that means that old idioms aren't ef

A pure-Node approach is a lot simpler: you can just use Node's HTTPS (if you don't care about load balancing) and attach Socket.io to it. Just don't put your Socket.io server behind Nginx if you want WebSockets support. With load balancing,

So here's what LearnBoost is doing (if I understood this correctly): they're splitting Socket.io into two lower level layers, Websocket.io and Engine.io. Websocket.io only does websockets transports (... all six of 'em) Engine.io is a sligh
