Copied for posterity from the other answer: The money you gave to Nodejitsu to continue supporting npm was a huge part of getting us in front of the exponential growth curve. I'll continue to be closely involved with Nodejitsu. But

I prefer BDFW: "Benevolent Dictator For a While" A good leader makes themselves obsolete by taking the community somewhere new. A bad leader gets themselves into a problem they can't fix. Either way, occasional change is go

Yes, we are considering a variety of corporate and legal structures to make sure that the open source projects and community are taken care of in a sustainable way. There are many trade-offs involved, and we've just started. I don&#x2

I agree. 9/11 was indeed very sad. And it had about as much to do with this announcement as Ben's departure from Node last year.

No, this does not have anything to do with him. This has been in the works for several months. I also hope Luke's ok. Thanks.

Yep. Joyent's new corporate strategy: hunting witches. Nailed it.

You say "profit driven" like it's a bad thing. I thought this was a forum about startups.

How do you know that no one approached him privately?

I'd call it a bug. It's fixed in master.

The new default in master is Infinity. (Also, there's opt-in KeepAlive that actually keeps sockets alive even if there are no pending requests.) The ulimit will prevent you from opening up too many anyway. The HTTP Client is not the

It's fixed in master already. Test with the latest 0.11 to verify.

Marek, Streams return `false` when a write will buffer past a configurable highWaterMark. The first hand-rolled `on('data', write)` pipe doesn't take this into consideration, and so yes, backpressure is not handled. `r.pipe

-l does not mean "local". -l means "--long" and has no relevance to the install command. Local is the default state. If you want to force non-globalness, you can do `--no-global`

Just because you're not offended by a racist comment doesn't mean it isn't racist.

A good first step is to actively reduce the level of misogyny and other ugliness in your circles to the degree possible. This sort of crap goes on in part because it has tacit support from "normal" folks. We rush to punishment of Adria, bu

True, despite my joking tweet earlier, I don't think that this is at all a Python problem, except insofar as the "python community" is a huge community of people who (by virtue of its size) mostly are strangers to one another. You're right

I do hope it's that easy, or at least, we can keep making it look that easy :) In the last 3 years with Node, I've seen it go through some definite changes, and we have had to respond to those. I suspect that will continue.

In short, yes, we are, and it's shitty. Reg, everything you wrote here is pretty spot-on. Adria Richards' behavior was definitely a tactical misstep. With the benefit of hindsight, she should have reported the inappropriate behavior to th
