Fair enough point, but they already have a logo... the word "node" followed by a little cloud then the letters JS. There's not really anything wrong with the old logo, but it's more the wording around the announcement of the new logo that i

I really like node.js, but I'm afraid I can't say the same for the logo or even the statement that someone needs to "jettison preconceived notions about what Node should look like". I mean, really? For a revolution that was engineer led, so

The interchangeable use of 'Ruby' and 'Rails' in the original article (and some of the comments) is indicative of someone who has not taken the time to understand either. Conjecture like that is not worth the GET.

I wonder if anyone will take this research and look at the appetite suppressing qualities of nicotine in light of this... perhaps a totally natural drug is already available to block CB1 receptors!

When presented with '1 + 1 = 2', some people will be interested enough to ask why, and others won't give a fuck. Same goes for 'Hitler invaded Poland'. It doesn't mean one person is better or worse than the other, they're just different. Th

I love the first comment in the original thread, specifically: >“Microsoft has first class cross-platform application framework called Silverlight and they want us to right freaking javascript.” Yeh, because js isn't a first class, cros

I have these tiger repellent shoes. They're just standard black/black Adidas Superstars, but I have never seen a tiger while wearing them (and i have travelled a lot). I'm not sure age discrimination actually exists in the startup industry,

Microsoft might though, would certainly be more relevant than the amorphous live.com.

Fair enough - I can't really argue without trivialising things somewhat so I'll just leave it that :)

I agree with ehutch79, x86 virtualisation is well over 10 years old. There are many free (both as in freedom and as in beer) virtualisation options available currently, does FAUmachine cream everything else in terms of performance or ease o

An interesting move given AWS' current core market (web based companies, startups, students etc - ppl who generally have no interest in Oracle databases)... wonder what kind of uptake there will be. AWS still has too many ToS issues to be s

I'm not sure what the author of the article is trying to prove... that trademark law can be (and is being) abused? At least he had the integrity to quote the EMI lawyer throwing examples back of Bloomberg engaging in similarly questionable

Proving once again, an idea without execution is worth precisely fuck all. All the non-technical founders out there trying to rip the executors in terms of equity, take note.

Sure, but I'm sure Roy Fielding would argue you can't have REST without HATEOAS. So on some level yes, it is great in theory, but on another level I would also argue that's where the 'ful' comes in ala 'RESTful'. I guess you could look at i

Nice post. The single biggest criticism I usually level at REST implementations is the lack of HATEOAS - the discoverability aspect of REST is about more than just an easily understood URI. As the author of this post states in his 2nd bulle

The US is probably out - due to VISA requirements you can't stay there for any length of time. But if you do go there, I would advise setting yourself up with HSBC Premier in the UK first, then getting USD bank accounts setup via them (they

In my experience Windows ops/admins don't have anywhere near the depth nor breadth of infrastructure knowledge that *nix ppl do, and I have yet to meet a .NET web developer who knew anything about OS internals. I'm not ragging on MS devs, j

I guess technically they don't qualify, but surely Microsoft's web properties have to be right up there. Billions later, they have yet to turn a profit.

Not sure about the jab at Microsoft, C# is just an implementation of an ECMA standard ( http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecm... ) and as if Java isn't unduly influenced by The Red Menace these days. Perl is spot on t

In the first instance, just ask as one human to another if you can track down contact details - you might surprised. I went through something similar recently and it all worked out amazingly, although I don't imagine my experience is the mo

I always assumed it was 'etc' as well. Maybe only *nix people assume that because thinking about it, the only time I've ever heard 'etc' pronounced 'etsy' is with reference to the /etc directory.

I think Quora's err page summed it up best - "We wouldn't be where. we are today without Amazon". There are lots of discussions about variable EBS performance from larger consumers around the web, i've yet hear smaller players get vocal abo

I'm not sure, since I learned JavaScript way before I read The Good Parts. But avoiding the bad parts from the start will at least ensure you develop coding practices in line with the good parts, which is a great thing :)

One wonders if the likes of Google and Microsoft employed Kai-Fu Lee so that he would be less inclined to fund / promote clones of their products in China.

I wouldnt be put off reading The Good Parts by that post, although it does raise some valid points IMHO. The point is, the author of that blog post probably wouldn't have even known about those things had they not read the book. Whether som

I don't quite understand why people obsess over numbers when it comes to consumerism. Just because McDonalds sell the most burgers in the world, doesn't mean they are the best.
