Anecdotes are one of the only real ways to get information on whether or not a hosting provider is any good. At least it cuts through the marketing BS. I generally track hosting company's Twitter accounts too - it's pretty telling

I have the same issue with space on a 3-monitor setup. I simultaneously use Chrome, the Chrome inspector, an editor, terminal, Skype, an IRC client, sometimes Firefox, Finder, etc. There's always more things you can put up if you have

The Closure Compiler on ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS mode is a terrifying beast and only works on carefully-crafted code. It makes some astonishing optimizations, though. I encourage JS developers who strongly believe in distributing source along

Yes, you can use Node Buffers (which are not that bad), or JS native Typed Arrays (which are also not that bad but a little clumsy). Yes, in embedded systems, that might be really important so it can get clumsy. It's not the best tool

You could - but V8 is actually much faster than Ruby or Python, and JS syntax is quite good for I/O. Better than that, a ton of people know JS and the more developers find this accessible, the better.

That's ridiculous and contributes nothing to the discussion. Javascript is a good programming language, in that it's expressive, fast (much faster than Python), and more importantly it runs everywhere. No ecosystem can grow with

I haven't done it with VirtualBox, but I have with VMWare - it is monstrously slow, until you install VMSVGA2[1], then it's pretty gravy. It's not as quick as native but it's massively improved. Some applications render

Interestingly, they used to just blur their text with effect, and the actual text was available in the source. I am not certain what prompted the change, but they now screenshot the text, blur it, and put the screenshot (!) in the page, pre

You're right, and I wish we had. Instead we were just sort of stunned by the underwhelming ending and the crowd filtered out very quickly (there was no "drinkathon", we were all too tired). It was Angelhack - I suppose, by th

There wasn't much that could be done. According to the rules, all's fair so long as the code wasn't written until the hackathon itself, which is pretty much impossible to prove or disprove anyway. You can prepare as long as y

Could you explain why? The post below explains about how two users really shouldn't share the same password, and if they do, it's easily crackable - that makes sense. However, if you had a list of 100,000 passwords and did, say, a

True - you can also disable the globalAgent or change the number of pooled connections. Connection pooling was generally a bad idea (tm) in Node and afaik will be removed in the near future.

No, it won't kill the process; it will simply terminate the connection. It looks like, from the C code, that it was intended to throw a 405 but somewhere in the process it screws up and terminates early.

It is certainly most of the way there now - the sensors are fantastic - and will be absolutely revolutionary with a higher-resolution screen and the addition of some yet-to-be-invented control schemes.

The paperwhite is a nice display, and part of the benefit they claim is that the light guide combined with a matte screen reduces the amount of backlighting needed, thus improving battery life. That may be - but another big factor is the re

$300 is about 3 times what it should be, in my opinion. It's not much more than a fancy USB hub with audio & a NIC. USB 3.0 hubs with NICs are about $50-60, or one could easily use a regular USB 3.0 hub and attach a USB NIC, sound
